War, What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing! (Invasion of The Silken Asteroids) [Crusade + Horde] O

[Atlas Kane]

Well, I was never into that religious aspect of the Force. All I wanted was earning money by killing people, and that's exactly what the Kragmeister offered me. [member="Zoey Marix"]

Indeed I was. [member="Stone Hermes"]

[member="Dagon"] Um, I honestly dunno. I only had them communicate with electricity like eels, and their technology just translated as best it could when they needed to make sound for aliens. I'm not sure how specific your abilities are, but I suppose you could attempt to communicate with his translator unit embedded into his face.

I don't think I saw anything specific on it, but make of it what you will with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocommunication

I see I see.

The Vong have an organism in their ships purely for communications. A variant of which allows Vong organic ships to communicate to non-Vong ships using electronic frequencies. (which is about as specific as the wiki gets) Think you'd be able to pick that up?

I understand completely. That is all anyone of us really want from life.

Hey, I did had a question, wouldn't the creation and following death of a star confuse Dagon in a way as well? The control Yammosk had over its forces could be disrupted with a use of a gravitic amplitude modulator by sending out gravitational pulses to interfere with the one a Yammosk uses.

This just came to my mind since the whole star being created and taken out would create a gravitational pulse as well, not a continuous one but still

 

[Ereza]

Indeed, he is right. Moross also cam prepared with a GAM as detailed in my first post.

 

[Mercury Zealot]

[member="Dagon"] Sure I guess, it'll probably just make the brute angrier, and it isn't like he's attacking with any set strategy, so sure, go for it.

 

[Ereza]

Also [member="Darth Vulcanus"] I will be taking into account some heavy damage to the portion of the Crusade fleet I am controlling.

Just....not tonight. Tonight I will be adhering to an early bedtime.

 

[Bloodknight]

Too late for me to join this one?

Food for thought. We'll worry about it if it comes up again.


[member="HK-36"]

GAM's work by creating a constantly fluctuating gravity field. The effect is similar to jamming a radio frequency with white noise. So the brief pulses of gravity from the star would have had little effect on the communication. No more than a sudden beep or burst of static would have on radio communication.

It was recommended to me by members outside of the Horde that I should have reported you for bringing a GAM without first getting a starship approved through the factory that is equipped with a GAM. You've also been called several nasty names for bringing one without first encountering a Yammosk. And if you really want to know, Dredge was complaining to high heaven than the GAM was the last straw. He was sick and tired of the metagaming and whatnot. And on the whole, it was considered a dick move.

The reason I'm not worrying about the GAM is because it may interfere with a single Yammosk's ability to communicate at range, it has no effect on the other means of communication available to the Vong. Mainly the Villip. Or it could be overcome by simply bringing two Yammosk's or by stating that I'm "really really focusing" or any other such BS. Although, had you put more effort into it than just "I brought the F-you device", I might be more inclined to confirm that you've caused me difficulty.

Oh yeah. Sorry to whoever I was supposed to have a fight with. The recent events have utterly sucked the muse out of me, and I'm finding it difficult to write meaningful paragraphs and posts. I feel really crummy about this but it hasn't been getting any easier on me.

Our reasoning for using a GAM is this.
1.Due to the Yuuzhang Vong war GAMS are actually very old very common technology. They were used extensively throughout the end of the Vong Wars and were located on most Capital ships by the time the war was over and done with.
2.We absolutely know that the Horde is mostly comprised of Yuuzhan Vong Elements, that much is pretty publicized throughout the entire galaxy by your leader being a Yuuzhan Vong and most of your soldiers being a Yuuzhan Vong.
3.Yuuzhang Vong's main war coordinators throughout the Yuuzhan Vong Wars and even afterwards? Yammosks. This is a well known fact, and even if it wasn't one of our main characters(me) has had close personal ties with Yuuzhan Vong since Childhood and would know this as well.

It stands to reason through these three points that The Horde would not only have Yammosks, but utilize them. it then stands to further reason that the Moross crusade fleet mostly stated to be comprised of old and varying ships would have at least one or two GAMS laying around, especially since most old ships were sent to the outer rim, where we are located. This is why we used one.

HOWEVER, If it was that huge of an issue for you you most definitely should have come talk to us. Throughout this entire invasion we have been nothing but reasonable, friendly, and all around nice. Whenever there has been a problem we've addressed it fairly, logically, and with due diligence. If it really had been that big of an issue you should have PM'd us and if you had stated your reasoning for its removal we likely would have edited it out, because were not willing to compromise an entire roleplay for one silly thing.

IIRC, nobody has done anything with it other than mention that it was equipped on a ship. I was going to ignore it until someone had the bright idea to turn the thing on. At which point I would have worked around it. GAM's and similar devices (for roleplay aspects) work the way they do when the target of their efforts is a piece of equipment or an NPC. When we're talking about PC's, then things get a little wonky. If a PC Force User can throw asteroids, crush starships, and make stars... a PC Yammosk can cross his little tentacles, crinkle his nose, and focus really really hard to force his way through the effects of a GAM.


Me, personally, I didn't care that you brought it. It was a clever move, and a valid one in most cases. Some people just took it a little personally. (oddly enough, not the person it effected most.)

Anyway. Continue on as is. We'll work to pull this mess together and try to have some fun in the process. Only reason I brought it up was because [member="HK-36"], and [member="Amorella Mae"] were making cases for the Horde fleet being in a more vulnerable position than it already is.

We're down a Star Destroyer (which already puts us at about 2,400m vs 4km until you disclose your casualties), the escort ships are without shields for the moment and are suffering extreme electrical and electronic failures throughout the ships.

Eh, don't worry about fleets. This is a PVP game. I think Amore just mentioned it because her character is after all a battlemeditation character and it was just a generalization. I appreciate your kindness however. Lets just have as much fun as possible

I'm going into Space!

Actually I was interested what was your take on it I wasn't making a case for it since it wasn't my attack to begin with, and I haven't encountered anybody writing a Yammosk before so I was actually curious how you work those things out like gravitational pulses and etc.

And to be fair, they were ridiculous stunts with ridiculous amounts of power, yes, but the force users who did them do have considerable amount of experience gathered through role-plays, and those were quality posts, as well as they have taken drawback from them. Put enough time and roleplay into a character and they will gain great power, great friends, and great stories.

3. PVP focus - minimal fleeting with a maximum of 4000m per faction. Fleeting does not determine the outcome of the invasion but can affect the enviroment and thus effect PVP battles.

[member="Soliael Devin Talith"] I now know what it is like to be mounted on a wall. That is... an experience I wouldn't want to go through again.

 

[Break]

Sorry about the lag. I work horrible hours mon-thur and the whole business has drained me.
