The Rains of Castameer (Ground Battle) OOC

[Ali Hadrix]

Well I'm sorry to see things have hit a roadblock. I was actually logging on to post a notice of withdrawal myself; I hit a significant IRL clusterf*** that I have to sort out over the next week or so. It's all in error, but it's eating up every moment of my free time trying to resolve.
I can post a departure at some point in the next day or so I'm certain.

I know this isn't how you wanted the event to turn out, but I want to say that this event was incredibly well organized and staffed, and run, minus the obvious stumble here. Next time there's a site event, I'd recommend sticking to this style of things.

Would it be fine if I have some more drop ships arrive from orbit to pick up people as well as sort of take everything that isn't completely destroyed?

If he lets me do this, just let me know if you would care for pick up and I'll send a drop ship your way.

Sure, you had to get to the battle somehow, so it's assumed those transports were 'off screen'.

[member="Ali Hadrix"]
Thanks! I've learned some valuable lessons for next time.

Thank you! The event had some kinks in it, but for the most part it was fun. I just think next time it would be better if minor factions could roll with more than 1/5 the number of points a major could bring in and to show some outpost locations on the maps that would be visible. I saw the outposts get mentioned but until you ran into them there was no accounting for them via ship visual.

[member="Asharad Graush"], sorry for my lack of communication. Not sure if my message sent last night, but the gf was over and thus naturally ate up all my time. Did I kill anything?

[member="Valiens Nantaris"] did I hear right that if we chose to we could move our characters to the newest DM thread?

A couple dozen I imagine.

My next post was an exit, so I didn't post losses or anything else.

 

[Cassus Akovin]

[member="Asharad Graush"] I'd send shifty eyes at you considering the amount of specifically anti-personnel weaponry that was involved in that post, and considering I respectably acknowledged being outnumbered by giving up scores of troops and damages to your surprise attack. I'd imagine that out of the three hundred or so troops standing out in the open snow unobstructed by trees, you could spare more than a couple dozen.

But I digress, the battle is over I guess.

Oh well. *shrug*

I'm not sure I'm gunna post an exit. Or join the DM thread (if that's an option). As cool as Omega is (and it is!), I'm just not feeling it any more now that this is out. Guess that means I can divert energy to other projects! Thanks for the fun guys, even as short lived as it may have been

If its any consolation, Mandos were on our way to help you before the battle ended. But then it was over and I didn't get a chance to shoot at him or storm the citadel.

You can if you wish.

Personally I had a great time with the event overall and the ground battle was a ton of fun while it lasted. I probably owe my own set of apologies for not being quite as active and collaborative in this thread as I could have been, next event I probably won't sign up for three separate major threads. But I still really enjoyed writing in Rains and it challenged me in ways that I am not used to but were rewarding coming from a background of not being a huge war gamer.

I'm sure I've said this before on my main account but thanks again for all of the hard work you did over the past few weeks, not just in this thread but in all of them, and for the hard work of the event staff. I had a hard time staying active in three threads, I cannot imagine how you kept churning out those maps and NPC lists throughout.
