The Game: Beyond the End OOC

Well I mean he could eat anything that he could tear off with his teeth, swallow, and dissolve in his stomach acid. Of course certain poisons will still kill him, and bleach would be a death sentence.

Also your link is broken.

Regarding your post Night, The challenge is EMP proof, Has no door, and quantum computers can't exactly get frappered.

Thanks for telling me Liam lol.

Posted as Vanos, had him start on Wolfe's ship like we discussed, Maxx.

Tell me if I made any mistakes. Because I feel like I made a lot.

Great... Wedge.

Hmmph.

No it was fine Lone. You were generic enough that I could have some guards bring Vanos to Wolfe.

The reason I cannot give how Artifex knew she was a spy is for the same reason (and the same plot arc actually) that I could not give the true reason why she is on the ship at all. Its not because it'd be a good way to introduce the character and her knowing Eris is a spy is not because Stephen's characters did also. I already hinted at it though so it shouldn't be to big of a leap but it does have interesting plot ramifications if you're fine with her knowing. If not I can change it.

I'll use Mark for that plot as he's a little bit... duplicitous.

I think Erebos might try to nab Wedge anyway if he recognized him for what he was. True Night you know why.
Alright Op I've invaded your spaceport area and am trying to intrude upon a small starship, probably one about the size of the Millenium Falcon from Star Wars or something like that.

It should be noted that Eris is impersonating somebody that was actually assigned to the ship. Also they are 700,000 miles out, Jackson should already be well aware of who's on board. Now considering that she isn't part of the crew, not assembling could be taken as slap to the face or a sign of respect. Letting Jackson instruct his crew without somebody looking over his shoulder.

The way the other characters played it off made her seem extremely suspicious, when she probably shouldn't have. Followed by her disguise being instantly pierced.

I'd explain how Eris identified Artifex, but I can't without revealing tactical information. That will come later.

Having Eris reconized doesn't ruin anything I have planned, but it could for other plotlines. I don't care so much about the outcome, rather the way it achieved. For future reference how characters know things should be made clear.

A couple things

A) Admiral is a higher rank than captain in any rank system. Jackson is only a captain, so if there was an admiral on the ship who was supposed to be there they would probably be in charge.

B) Why would an admiral be on a ship but not be part of the bridge crew? Admirals overlook entire fleets, not single ships, and if they were on a single ship, then she'd be in charge. If she was on the ship for another reason, then I'd like to know what that reason is (considering it is my ship and Jackson would know). If Jackson didn't know why she was there then he wouldn't know that she was there. No matter, I'll edit it because I don't feel like getting in an argument.

I can give you a some reasons. The switching of orders to negotiate with the Enigma instead of attack them would have been seen through if the highest rank on the ship was Captain. Jackson wouldn't have the authority. Secondly, my reasoning was Garthedus would want to oversee the mission personally and they aren't going to send a lower rank. Really it's not unheard of to have a higher up that's present, but not issuing the orders. Especially on a new ship for an important mission.

Here's an excerpt from an article on the navy.

Quote :

Rear admirals will normally embark on large capital ships such as aircraft carriers, which will function as the flagship for their strike group or battle group, but a captain will retain command of the actual ship. Even when a senior officer who is in the ship's captain's chain of command is present, all orders are given through the captain as a courtesy.

Think I'll change her to a lower rank of admiral so it's more reasonable, and I don't intend for this to be an argument. I apologize that I didn't consult with you before making my character disguised as a higher rank.


EDIT: Scratch having her an admiral, going to edit my post.

Ok that works much better.

It's cool Op. I haven't been able to post either. I got swamped with homework.
