  1. Dang, too late. DeSylva's already put himself on the chopping block ... oh well .
  2. Heh, were you guys around for Aramikes chonks? And dont get me started on the bidet ...
  3. See Nova? Told ya, stick with me kid and I'll make you a star ...
  4. quote:Which is why you guys should do proper pre-screening and not just go on wanton recruiting drives. Which is somthing we don't do. Both Hamblin and Carlton have been here nearly as long as me. Carlton had serious RF issues which has made it nigh on impossible for him to keep up with the rest of a well maintained and disciplined fleet. James has always been a loose cannon, and it was only a matter of time before it got him into trouble again. In fact, he stayed away from the forum because of his personal feelings. We might not agree with him, but we cant prevent him from venting in places where we dont have control. Regardless, it was out of order and he's now been removed from the Fleet Database. I will say one thing tho; he was a very talented and valuable member of my team, and despite his own misguided attitude, he will be missed by those that know him well. And just in case anyone is wondering, I agree with the descision to remove him, even if Im not happy about it.
  5. Orion. If you have to ask why, you'll never get in.
  6. Well, you're half right. Liverpool rules! Arsenal blows.
  7. Im pretty sure I need not remind you gents that the creation of new races is a big no no around here? Drop me an email or PM if you're unsure about somthing.

  9. I refuse to take this test on the grounds that I am 100% (minus a few impurities dating back to the Norman invasion of 1066 *shudder*) English and refuse to count myself as being British.
  10. There was a lengthy discussion regarding official BC history 3000 - 3015 somwhere in the murky depths of the forum. I believe it was in Fleet Discussions, but I cant be 100% sure. Anyhow, it's not included in the manual or apendix, and according to game start date, it's currently 3010 - which is cool for us old timers cos our characters aint as old as we woulda been.
  11. This is for team two (Chaviks) postings only. When both teams are together in the same engagement area, use the main ITF thread. Otherwise, use this.

  13. [RP] Operation Golgotha T + 2 hours 09 minutes Earth, Mission Zone 13 Verge Overlooking Golgotha Savage pulled his head from the scope of his rifle and shot Caine a bitter look. “Now’s not the time to be a wiseass, Caine. You wanna bullshit me, do it when we get back. For now, pitch tent and count heads. Keep that trigger finger of yours steady and wait for orders.” The Orion Fleet Commander looked back into the rifles scope and tried to ignore the glare he felt from the draftee. He knew better than most that he was an unpopular figure this trip out, and considering the circumstances they were now all in, he doubted that his popularity rating would go up when (If) they managed to get back to the real world. But right now none of that mattered. He didn’t give a damn if they despised him. So long as they followed orders and didn’t screw up, that would be good enough. For now. Without taking his eye away from the scope, he activated the ear mounted lash unit and spoke quietly into it. “Chavik, are you and your team in position yet?” A moment passed before the Insurgent Commander responded. “Negative. We still got a little ways to go before we’re in position. How are we on time?” Savage responded immediately. “Cutting it fine. Im still only making out eight contacts, which means theres still four unaccounted for. Caine and I have beads on several of the guards on the west, and north flank. Chances are theres at least two out of sight in operations. You need to get to them first and shut down contact with the security centre below.” “I know the drill Savage. We had the briefing, remember?” “Understood. Let me know when your in position.” “Roger. Chavik out.” The time it took Chavik and his team to negotiate the rocky terrain to their go position seemed to last an eternity. Savage found himself checking and re-checking the scopes calibration. When he wasn’t doing this, he was peering to his right at Caine, who was sitting still and comfortable with his own weapon. He didn’t seem to be half as nervous as what Savage now felt, although behind all that bravado and arrogance, he figured he was only just barley keeping the contents of his stomach from nervously escaping. At least, he hoped so. Then at least he’d have company. “Team one, this is team two. We are ready for a go. Any last requests?” Savage took a deep breath and counted back from three. When he finished, he knew he was commited. “Team two, this is team one. You are a go.” “Roger. Powering up the stealth suits …. Now.” Abruptly, the signal died. For the next few minutes, it would be impossible to contact any of team two due to the dispersion effect caused by the suits internal generators. Now all he and Caine could do was watch …. And wait for the blood letting to begin. [/RP] Chav, Nova, Gallion, Foss and whoever else the other two members of this team are, nows your chance to do your thing. If you don’t start posting quickly, me n Caine are gonna have a field day popping heads and we don’t want all the glory here. Oh yeah, now the teams are seperated (At least initially) use the appropriate threads. [ 12-05-2001: Message edited by: Blades ]
  14. Theres gameplay tips, and theres Operational Methodologies. The former are there to help newbies get more familiar with the game and take a step in the right direction, the latter being the application of that experience in an MP environment. I cant speak for all fleets, but Orion has been gearing up for war for a long time now, and what is available to the public at large on the OWSF is only a fraction of the content we have drafted. Giving out hints and tips is one thing, but discussing how we're going to be deploying our forces in MP is another. Everything not previously declassified with Orion is classed as being top secret and any member who releases such content to an individual or organisation without prior consent from myself will be instantly dismissed from the fleet. Anyway, part of the fun is trying to counter your enemies own strategies and maximizing the potential of your own assets/strategies. We reckon we've done pretty well thus far in thoery, but application in the firld is the real test. Be seeing ya'll soon ...

  16. She says no? That cant be right. People will hear of this outrage here! [ 12-02-2001: Message edited by: Blades ]
  17. Dammit, you know that link of yours is dead? Urghh, looks like it's back to singles bars for me then. Hey ho.
  18. I'll reconsider if you have a fit wife or sister. Those are my terms. Take it or leave it.
  19. Fendi, thats sooooooooooo not going to happen.
  20. Ah, have you even played BCM yet? Have you tried playing as any of the vast combinations of careers/races/castes? Or tried any of the different ships/fighters/surface ops vehicles? Do you recall being able to hop out in first person mode in BC3K? No. Well there you go. Consider the surface scratched. No go play BCM. With your eyes open this time. Cuh ... newbies.
  21. quote: (Of course Blades don't count, We all know that!) WHAT do you mean I dont count? Wadda ya mean we all know that?!? Sheesh, a guy shows some inititive and gets it hand delivered to him by special (thanks mummy) courier, and what does he get? Scorn. I dont have to take this kind of abuse ... I can get this kind of abuse anywhere. And whats this? I'm getting abuse from a lowly lurker? O the shame, the infimy! BAH! Whats a guy gotta do to get some respect around here ... ? *grumble* I'll see you in MP ... and I got days over you ...

    Sig Updates

    As per this thread, everyone with a registered copy of BCM had best reconfig their sig to fall in line with this new directive. Failure to do so WELL before the SC's deadline will result in a serious ass kicking, followed by an even more serious ass kicking once the boss has finished removing his size twelves from your colon. Are we understood? Excellent. [ 11-30-2001: Message edited by: Blades ]
  23. And dont forget, there is a special forum at the Orion site just for you Insurgent reprobates and you're evil doer ilk, moderated by Captain Blowhorn himself and not subject to modification by any of the Orion Fleet staff. We encourage everyone to register to the forum to look in wonder at our activities or blow smoke up our asses when you're feeling a little inadequate. You can do that at http://www.orion.i8i.co.uk/forum/ - day or night, you're more than welcome.
