For the record, I said he waits until a time after the initial chit chat, not just blurt it out right then.

But that works too I guess lol

Which other character? You mean after me?

eerrrr... I can change that if you'd like, Admiral. *winks*

I dunno that Percy would have anything to add after all of what's just gone on, here.

I actually kind of imagine that the freaky little dude is probably just standing there, more fascinated with the ice cream machine than with The Canadian...

...and wondering which of the other team members Katie might shoot first.

Official Katy Teamkill Odds:
Danyael 1:1
Virago 3:2
Percy 5:1

Downhouser 4702:1

Short request. I think it's reasonable to have all the posts in by the end of the weekend, for a possibly monday/late sunday update. I'm not going to be around much before then, so that would make my day on return. Love the lot of you. I'm butter.

Won't be able to make the deadline this week. Good to have a few extra days to make it.

I'm am very sorry to announce that I won't be able to get a post in this week. I'm overly busy, with stuff that needs to be done before next week. So, I hope it's not that big of a deal that I can't post this weekend.

I guess I'm reaching the age where you have so much to do that if you don't manage your time right, you'll end up with one paragraph in the game, and two apologizing in the Q/A.

So, to keep the standard high, I'm not going to go there. I'm still very interested in this game, since I think it's one of the best out there at the moment.

See you all next week.

Alright, writing up an update now.

This is one of those situations where it's acceptable to not post, and I of course understand your situation, having failed to meet many deadlines over the course of whenever, so don't worry about it. While I'll miss the flavour yours (and Eol's!) posts bring to the game, neither of you is particularly social, so I doubt you'd have changed much in the "main" storyline. I'll throw some NPCing in for the pair of ya, as Eol has already expressed his characters actions, and Downhouser's a fun character to play around with.

Expect the update shortly. Assuming I don't end up writing a goddamn novel.

First and foremost, I've included a sixth player in the game. Tek's character is that odd looking russian Ukranian that's joined your team, yay more people. Feel free to make in character introductions on the ice, speaking is a free action? Question mark? F*** yeah.

Secondly, you're currently on ice. In skates. Playing hockey.

Here are some things you should know.

There's are 6 positions; 3 forwards (Left Wing, Centre, Right Wing), 2 defenders (Left and Right) and a goalie (Goalie!).

The goalie is obviously the person standing in the goal, last line of defense, man people are shooting pucks at.

The defenders are also quite obvious, largely defending their end of the ice, checking players and trying to take the puck away from others while blocking access to the goalie.

The wingers are the most offensive position, each generally uses a side of the rink and is up for shooting the puck at the net and setting up in the opponents end.

The centre is like a slightly more defensive winger generally (although they're an offensive player) who takes face-offs for the team (meaning, they fight for the puck when it first becomes live).

Please use this thread to figure out what positions you're taking and uh...take them. Additionally, this is going to work kinda like combat, just because there's a referee on the ice doesn't mean there's going to be much in the way of rules. Your weapons have been taken from you, but you all have blades strapped to your feet, hockey sticks in your hands and fists...as your hands...your hands can fists...you know what I mean.

You're wearing whatever you were wearing when you came into the arena (NO ARMOUR FOR YOU, EVEN THE GOALIE, IT WILL HURT) while the other team is wearing full hockey gear. This will probably be one of the more "complicated" situations you'll get into, as you're trying to score goals while fighting off hockey players and not getting murdered while avoiding giving up goals.

In case people were wondering, checks and slapshots are affected by physical stats, and finesse plays and wristshots are more skill based. It is entirely up to you whether or not your character can skate well.

Feel free to throw any questions at me, I'm assuming there will be a couple.

P.S. Steelight, their captain is a right winger, and he hates you. If you take left wing, he'll be matched up beside you at face-offs. I'm sure you can figure out how that will end up.

Unless you guys have some other suggestions. Here are my recommendations based on how the positions have been described:

Goalie: Percy (well-balance... stat wise... not mentally...)

Defenders: Virago (due to his specialization in 2-handed weapons) and Downhouser

Left Wing: Katie (Speed and skill)

Right Wing: Danyael (distract and allure...)

Center: Vitali


Thoughts?

Sounds good to me, Steelight. I actually know a thing or two about hockey; we'll see if it matters at all.

I'm ready for an epic no holds barred game. Prepare for awesomeness.

Thought I'd mention, as I realise I didn't, but disadvantages/advantages will play a part in this, if maybe not in the way you think.

I'll give you an example in Downhouser, who had a disadvantage of being exceptionally gullible. Anyone pulling any fancy puck moves will easily be able to fake him out. Things like that.

... if we stick Downhouser as goalie, his size may just fill up the entrance of the goal, thus making it extremely hard to get a puck past him.

Oh right, also added Tek's character and all relevant information to start of this thread. And if anyone wants to throw questions at me IN ASTOUNDING REAL TIME or just shoot the s***, I'll be in chat for a bit.
