This thread is bad and you ar- Wait a second, Steampunk is awesome!

>>7381710
Wow, its been awhile.

Alright anon, for anyone who forgot this quest
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6869678/#6870465
The way it works is that you have to build up the settlement, manage your forces, and destroy the enemy while making sure you keep treasure flowing to your sponsor. PLEASE read the last thread

>>7381710
Right, last thread (which was also part 7, how odd) the Industrial convoy was only 1.5 weeks away. Is Roarke still thinking we are a traitor, or has he calmed down a bit? Shooting random people aside, that is.

Oh, and it is GREAT to see this again.

Captain! glad to have you back. Feel free to read up on the previous threads while this gets rollin. On the other hand if you remember this feel free to start it up. ORDERS?

Legionnaires to deal with an uprising? How trite.

Has scouting of the second level begun? If so, reports thereof?

>>7381710
Lets get some more Dynamite.

I believe we were saving RP for the Male Steam Tank, right? I don't want any more mercs, as they can't be trusted, but we can't get rifles from the Industrial Convoy, right? Lets get 40-60 more workers if we can.

>>7381767
Roarke calmed down - I believe we were putting him on Garrison duty or something so he wouldn't splatter the worker's brains everywhere one a day. We ARE farming him for RP for that tank.

>>7381768
Nice to be back, mate - currently I have some RL guests over, so I'll be able to work with this diligently in like 30 minutes or so - be back then.

>>7381789
I cannot wait for that Steam Tank. With it, we will be invincible! Inb4 enemy with dynamite and AT Rifles of their own.

Can we get that Masonry finished?

This looks interesting, but I have a policy of not joining in any quests that I haven't read up on before hand. So, I'll probably join in next time if I like what I read.

>>7381770
>>7381767
I am SO glad to have you guys you have no idea. Alright- heres the status. The next industrial convoy is in 1.5 weeks, Riker still shoots any of your personal treasure drivers so you are hoarding the personal cut in the city. Second level scouting was discussed but not implemented last time. SUPER ROYAL CONVOY in response to the French legion in 3.5 weeks. RP bonus from Roarke in 2 weeks. ORDERS?
Also, thanks you guys for reminding me, WISHLIST time for the industrial convoy.

>>7381810
I think we finished the stone makin building, but we had a stone wall we were making that was like 1/3 done

>>7381817

see >>7381777 For my wishlist.

Also, can we get some more ammunition for our Gatling/maxims?

Alright, so far the wishlist is yet more dynamite and more workers. Be careful captain, last game we approved immigration so the royal shipment will be full of whiney worky settlers, we dont want overpopulation. 1.3 weeks to convoy. you have 18 rp, and if Roarke lives for another 1.8 weeks you will get have 23...enough for a steamtank (male).

What should I get started on, sir?

>>7381817
Extra ammo for the Gatlings and Maxims. On the off chance they can provide it, a scouting balloon.

How will immigration work? Will we be expected to build and provide housing? At the least, we should try to get the new arrivals within the radius of our patrols; we don't want then to come under attack from natives.

Nice, we have a namefag worker. All joking aside, what are the building/scouting/production orders. Refer to the first post for what is currently available. convoy in 1.1 weeks.

>>7381817
I believe we should get a start on scouting the second level. We have some time before the first is cleared, but this way there won't be any dead time.

I'm all for sending Riker on a mission of utmost, if suicidal, importance. We could use some solid numbers and disposition of the french and natives. Steam tank be damned if he dies, personally, but He might come back with an ace.

>>7381876
Pardon, I was under the impression we were Captain Roarke and the man necessary to survive for rp was the marksman, Riker. Am I mistaken?

Completely new to this, just started going on tg, and...What is this?

We should get more anti infantry things... mortars... possibly gas?

Those French are a bit... Mmmm....

>>7381915

This my friend is a genuine bonafide /tg/ Quest thread :D

This, and Zeonquest are the one to look for.

They are all made of awesome.

>>7381897
Let's get those Gliders on regular patrols around our land as an early warning system. Get the workers started on some primitive housing just in case it's needed. Lastly, I believe you changed the dimensions of our land to about 20 acres because some people called bull on all this stuff fitting in such a small area. I realize that 2 square miles is bigger than 2 acres, but would you please confirm on which is the real size? Sorry to sound whiny, this stuff is just gets to me if it isn't addressed.

NIGGERQUEST

>>7381917
>gas

If you are condoning the use of gaseous toxins on backwater natives, I am appalled, Sir!

We are proper British, not Italians.

>>7381915
Refer to sup/tg/.com as steamquest. Or just lurk till you get it.
>>7381913
Well now i feel like a bloody idiot, yes RIKER needs to live. Thanks.
>>7381917
Just so you know, industrial shipments are where we get are bread and butter supplies/ dynamite and workers/mercs
>>7381888
Settlers act as extremely high maintenance workers that can farm better and pay taxes and can form a militia once they arrive in higher quantities. It sucks at first but is great later. Yes you need housing for them

and thank you, our size is 20 SQ ACRES

Now that the technicalities are taken care of, we need CORGIS and ORDERS?

>>7381915
This is a tale set in the age of exploration. This is the start of a budding colony. This is a struggle for survival against barbaric natives and ruthless competitors. This is a search for fame and riches.

This is Victorian Quest.

>>7381948

Pfft. of course not good fellow.

I'm talking about the French of course...

OP, I'd like to join this quest, but you have to slow yourself down. Whenever you're going to post, wait a few more minutes to check for other players adding their own insight. I've watched these threads since they started, and that seems to be your biggest gaff, though you do seem to be getting better.

But honestly, be a bit more patient, and give some extra time between your posts. And check what other people have posted before you post. Refreshing won't remove what you've typed, it will still be there, and it will allow you to see posts that have been added since you started typing.

>>7381959
Awesome intro is awesome. If my namefaggotry had more recognition i'd get a drawfag to make a logo with that. Anyways, wishlist currently for the convoy in .9 week is workers and dynamite. ORDERS?

HINT:more housing is better, to request it just specify the material in your post. The stone wall is also a great thing to work on. Scouting mission orders would be helpful

>>7381973
This. MAybe the guy is just worried about the thread getting buried? who knows, anyways now that there are "regulars" he'll prolly slow down

>>7381958
Ready the colony for more growth, buildings and the like. Perhaps begin to look into civic buildings for the larger population.

Otherwise, continue looting. Begin scouting of second level.

>>7381984

We should get housing, but within the confines of the fortifications.

Maybe we can go about organizing a sort of militia to pad some of our numbers on the defense...?

For housing, perhaps underground additions to existing buildings, making a second, more fortified floor.

>>7381984
Start building some houses! Last thing we need is for the immigrants to arrive and start bitching because there's no place for them to live! We can build them with the Refined Wood from our sawmill, right?

>>7381984
Thank you very much for the compliment.

Again, Gliders should be on regular patrols around the outskirts of the colony. Winston should probably take a group of Mercs to scout out the numbers of the French deserters and Natives. Houses made out of wood from out mill, and work on the wall and Masonry if it's not done already.

>>7382032
Yay! Specifics in a post! Alright, construction in the third ring is beginning.
>>7382014
Militias can be formed when settlers have arrived in greater numbers.
>>7382013
Please specify scouting force composition
>>7382027
Basement additions are a great idea, but specify the number of workers going into that effort please. Also assigning specialists would help.
>>7382057
Please specify wall workers and how many mercs.

ORDERS?

Added to the wishlist, maybe another maxim or two?

>>7382096
Do we want more maxims or more workers/dynamite? idk

Why not order some extra gasoline and bottles to make some molotovs to use against hostiles? Cheap, effective, and as I recall, the jungle is pretty wet and fire wouldn't spread easily.

>>7382072

10 mercs light scouting, small enough to move around quickly but big enough to give any opportunists second thoughts.

Also for working, um... 60 on the wall the rest divided between the mill and finishing upthe masonry project?

>>7382130
Masonry is done. you task 60 workers wall and the rest to the mine and the various other workshops. You rally up the scouting team. Winston warns to to watch out for Riker while he is gone. LOST: Winston+10 mercs. He will be back in 1.5-2 weeks. Convoy in 1/2 a week. Alcohol added to wishlist. ORDERS?

>>7382072
>Please specify scouting force composition

Certainly not Riker.

Winston leading a detachment of 10 rifles and five mercs.

>>7382072
Say, 50 workers on the wall, 50 on housing, 60 to keep mining silver. Also, get 10 experts on both the wall and housing for planning/architecture.

>>7382158
Disregard
>>7382162

Alcohol? That would surely cause us problems.

For some reason my internet is adding your responses in batches. I will wait 5 posts before my next post.
>>7382165
Alright, experts will help plan for the settlers. LAST minute wish list requests?
Also, because my internet hates me, do we want to edit Winston's scout force at all? ORDERS?

Hey, i'm afraid i haven't seen this quest before, so do you mind if i ask some questions?

Are we overtly hostile to french forces? and if so has there been any combat yet?

What are the local tribes, and what are their views and thoughts about us?

-and BTW this looks really cool, cudos to Steampunk Dude

>>7382193
IDK what the regulars will say, but from readin the last thread, it seems we hate the French, destroyed one of native tribes almost completely, and that another tribe lives in the lost city. You should read
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6869678/#6870465

>>7382187

Unless we can get more maxims and people to man them, I think we're okay... unless anyone has something to add?

Now that I think about it... can we get our Royale greandiers to train and drill with our regular rifles?

Maybe they might pick up a thing or two...

>>7382187
Winston's force is fine. I prefer proper soldiers for my backbone, but mercs have their uses.

I would like to see Riker set off into the bush on his own though, to investigate French movements. Maybe he'll kill off all the big predators for illegal hunting on the Queen's god-given land.

>>7382193
The French are Bad People. The Death Tribe was dealt a severe blow, but the survivors have hooked up with some French deserters and are now working together. The main French force has the strength of the French Foreign Legion with them (Like Royal Grenadiers for the French), and they seem to have a fair abundance of grenades. There has also been a small amount of contact with the Americans, but so far we are leaning towards not forming an alliance with them. There are also Snake Tribesmen in the Lost City.

Basically, everyone but us wants us dead.

FIVE!
>>7382273
Riker may be Quatrich level of badass, but he is only human. If you want that steamtank I suggest you help him to survive.
>>7382259
You force the rifles to participate in the daily drills with the grens, and though morale is slightly lower combat ability has been increased.

1 Day before convoy arrival. A blood red fighterglider covered in seemingly blue-tan stripes swoops by. When he swoops in he drops a letter into Godfried's hands. Godfried faints after seeing the outside of the letter. You notice that the dozens blue and tan stripes were pictures of downed french fighters, and that was FLASH FUCKING HAWKNS THE ACE. ORDERS? read the letter? Convoy tomorrow

>>7382341

FUCK YEAH!

Also, to raise morale, we spend the day with the regulars giving them a rousing tale of our shenanigans and an extra ration of good old English pints, yes?

Got to keep morale up.

Set up a hospital outside of the nearest native village in order to build up goodwill.

>>7382341
Again, I have no real desire for the contraption. If ANYONE ELSE wants a steam Tank, they would be best to help you ignore me.

Maybe give him a handful of mercs and the Governor's Orders to BE DISCREET?

Also, read Flashy's letter.

Read the letter and then just get ready for the convoy tomorrow

OH GOD IT LIVES!

My Wishlist!
Mustard/Chlorine/Phosgene Gas
Clockwork Soldiers
Land Mines
Razor Wire, barbed wire if unavailable
Artillery weapons, such as more mortars, cannons, and howitzers we can get shipped here and put together on-site. Time to show these savages how you really wage war!

And may I say, I am THRILLED to see you again- what the hell happened my good man, holiday rush?

>>7382410
>Mustard/Chlorine/Phosgene Gas

I again state my displeasure at such things, it would gain us no honour or glory and only give the enemy ideas.

>>7382395
The outside of the letter reads Nicholas T, and that is crossed by a thunderbolt. Do you still want to open it?
>>7382372
Someone explain to this good man why this isnt possible.
>>7382410
Glad to have a new person on board, pls read the thread. That is a great wishlist for the royal convoy. INDUSTRIAL CONVOY TOMMOROW. OPEN the letter?

>>7382410

Namefaggin' for this quest.

>>7382448

Yeah... what can be used against them, can be used againt us...

Next thing we'd be getting nuclear missiles... XD

>>7382341
HOLY FUCK. FLASH FUCKING HAWKINS? *swoon*

Joking aside, let's read the letter.

>>7382376
Why don't you want the tank? It has maxims and cannons!

I don't suppose we can recruit some Gurkhas.... they would be nice

>>7382454
Wait, who's Nicholas T.? If it's a letter to one of the soldiers, we should give it to them.

>>7382469

My main concern with the steam tank, is in rough terrain it might be more of a liability.

Though as representatives of the Crown in this region, we might as well flex the Empire's technological muscle.

>>7382494
HAHAHAHAHAAH-you can't be serious OP, dont you guys get who the letter is from?

>>7382513
Perhaps get some horses for the next convoy, they would be much more reliable in rougher terrain then a steam tank...

CROSSED BY A THUNDERBOLT, you guys dont get it

>>7382454
>>7382448
I must protest, my good sir- is it so honorable that these savages fall upon us in the dark of the night, attacking our defenseless workers, and do not listen to so much as a sliver of our enlightened diplomacy? These are savages, my good sirs, simply savages- and who knows what lies those frogs have been telling them, allying them against us. We have been given no quarter- we must return none ourselves. By Divine Right and seal of the Royal Family, we are here to bring back bounties unknown to our good England! Shall we falter because we pity unknowable, godless creatures who would attack us in our sleep? I say, "Give no quarter to those who raise their hand to the Empire!" We are the HAND of the Empire, and I would see no hand raised against us! Who's with me?!
>>7382454

. . . Good sir Tesla? Oh God's wounds! Open it! Open it for God and country, OPEN IT!

>>7382469
The British soldier is worth any three of the enemy. If cold steel and a stiff upper lip can't break an enemy, you should call in the cannons.

Otherwise, it's mostly logistical. We haven't the facilities to support it. Should one part in a million prove faulty, we'd be stuck waiting for a convoy or two before a replacement could be found. Unless we were to jury rig something and risk killing ourselves. It could certainly make for a strong point in an emplacement, but I wouldn't trust it to conquer the bloody continent on its own. Leave mobile warfare to flesh and horses, maybe steam horses, that's the way we made this empire, by jove.

Lets read the letter.

For the Empire!

>>7382542
Oh god. I just got it. Oh man, this is brilliant! Though wasn't his name Nikola Tesla?

>>7382575
You open the letter. Dear Roarke, I have a proposition. In the convoy tomorrow one of my assistant assistant project servants will be visiting the ruins. He will not die. Regards, NT

(Meta: to be successful in America Tesla changed his first name)

Can i get a vote on wanting the tank?

>>7382617

I say yes on the tank, but if we deploy it, we deploy it with great justice and planning.

Also, we get in Teslas good graces by protecting his assistant.

Is it also possible to send him a gift of some rather fine specimens of African Pigeons? Live by the by.

>>7382617
Get tank. Get Riker back to the main base. Assign a force of 5 Grenadiers to protect Tesla's assistant.

>>7382580
I figure we would mostly use it for defense, and as a preventative. Keep it well maintained in the inner ring, and call it out in the event of an attack.

>>7382575
Perhaps you should send word to the Queen, or better a specimen, to aid your argument. Send her a man, only different to you and me by his nation and lack of hygiene, with his flesh burned away and his lungs flooded with putrid ichor. Send her a man, guilty of only of his birth, with his eyes melted in their sockets and blood streaming from his orifices. Better still, send her the women and children killed by a fickle wind that brought the curse upon a village.

We are he to conquer, not exterminate.

>>7382580

Good gentleman, I've heard such talk before, but the officers who tutored me in Officers Academy spoke highly of future technology through the progress of industrialization! A tank in particular is truly top-notch technology! We could have sir Roark's scribe or some of the workers look at it if it obtains damage- which seems doubtful, if I may be so bold!

The tank is a weapon and a symbol of the Empire's might, sir! It breaks the morale of the enemy who do not know what it is, and sends them running once they see what it can do! The Male tank can deliver emplacement-pulverizing rounds into the center of crowds, and if I properly recall my studies, the Mark IV had both a main gun that puts past cannons to shame, and four maxim guns! It is an armored behemoth that can bolster the resolve of its allies and lead them to victory through a hail of gunfire that would see a wave of men falter!

>>7382677
...no, I'm pretty sure our Charter says we are supposed to exterminate the natives.

How about we compromise and go for something like agent orange to defoliate the place rather than go for mustard gas?

Also I'm pretty sure the steam tank will fulfill the utilities of both artillery and clockwork soldiers.

The convoy arrives. 2 Crates of dynamite. 20 Workers. 10 Mercs. Tesla's assistant is a small man. All of his body and head hair has been burned off by an unknown source. He has no eyes. Attached to his pack is an odd and arcane sparking device with tubes attached to lenses which are in front of his eye sockets. His ears are covered in strange gears replacing flesh. He twitches alot. Riker is with you. He pulls a pistol and aims it at the assistant/abomination. CRISIS MOMENT. ORDERS?

So, in summary, the majority are in good favor of the steam tank deployed as a defensive measure?

Also, what is the opinion of Teslas assitant?

>>7382677

This is a crass statement sir in an honest debate- I humbly protest your outlook on such a thing. The wounds of the gases are indeed crippling, and there are in fact risks of gas being blown out, but careful deployment and proper planning will see this used best as possible! And I care not for the birth of a man, but whether or not he is currently attempting to kill one of the Queen's valued subjects! The Mother of our Empire should not be given to see the horrors of war, and I was taught in my household that she views the death of a Englishman as a worse affront than the death of a foreigner or savage trying to -kill!- one of her servants! For dignity's sake, I wouldn't think of showing her the effects of such a weapon! It is simply ungentlemanly!

>>7382756
RIKER! DO NOT FIRE! IN THE NAME OF THE KING, DO NOT FIRE!

This man is here to assist us in our mission, and if all goes well, he will bring glory to our Majesty's Empire!

>>7382776
We've got like.5 seconds, do we want to spend it shouting?

>>7382756
OOC: Sounds like a Steampunk Techpriest. Heh.

Also, lets call out to him, identify him as Tesla's assistant, and show Riker that he is on our side and working for the King's Benefit - then lets take him inside and talk with him privately.

>>7382756

"In the name of your God, in the honor of your Royalty, and in your duty to your Country, STAND DOWN!"

"Explain why you would do such a thing, my good sir. We are reasonable people, now let us give reason to our actions, there's a good chap. . . Coffee? It's more abundant than tea around here, heaven knows. . ."

>>7382756
Riker m'boy, why do you react so harshly to our guest? He is merely a man who has taken drastic measures to ensure he can better serve his master, and by extension, the Queen.

>>7382811
I want Riker to stop aiming - and I want to keep them both alive. Shouting works well in a Crisis. We talked Riker down before, and we can do it again.

Make sure to hid Teslas assitant away from the main camp after we convince Riker to NOT shoot him... don't want to be scaring the people too much

>>7382756
>>7382756

Riker! As an officer EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

>>7382825
ARE YOU BLIND! This man is an abomination to nature and to our king (body modification is banned in Britain) He raises the gun. You guys can talk twice. If that fails then you get to try to stop his shot one way or another. what do you SAY?

>>7382692
Your academy learning is your own. I granted the tank its advantages, I am still no supporter. India was bent to our will under the strength of men like Hugh Gough! There was a man who knew war! He put down Khalsa and Sikhs alike, with only the fire of his belly to rally his men.

If showing the queen the effects of war in her name is ungentlemanly, those who would commit themselves to such things must be no less than demonic.

>>7382756
Ah! A pity he's not forty miles north being hunted by frenchmen and lions. This steam tank nonsense will drive us to upset Flashy. Make him stand down. A closed fist to the temple is persuasive enough.

>>7382898
IDK about punching him but how do we talk him down I dont remember the last time?

We talk him down. He may be a bit of a loose canon but by God hes an officer in the royal army.

He had better act the part.

>>7382870
"But this man is not from England, he is an important American Representative here to increase our strength against the dastardly French! We could use his assistance despite his unfortunate deformity, and therefore in this case we must look the other way if possible! Our King would surely understand when we are able to repel the French in force and reap the rewards of this site for the Glory of the Empire!"

OOC: Do we have any guards nearby to target Riker? Are we standing close enough to him to attempt to strike his weapon?

>>7382708
. . . Exterminate? I was informed we were to bring the light of our God and of civilization to those ready to hear, and to justly deny those who would see the humble workers of the Empire slaved, slayed, and eaten! Are- are we not here to set up an outpost and a colony, and to aid those who are in need of assistance?
>>7382771
In the academy- well, the laundry room at ten when the tutors had retired and I was up with the lads, we would have card games- and we would save our aces for last. I would keep such a thing in reserve, and bring it out ONCE we were under attack. No use revealing it beforehand, eh?
>>7382744
Clockwork soldiers can go where tanks cannot, and act in ways that a tank cannot. A steam-tank is at a much greater level than mortars, for certain, but the long guns and 240mm shells of the long guns are truly weapons to fear- falling from the sky, whistling the doom of the enemy, the crump of the blast- they'd be akin to the fist of God himself pulverizing the enemy!
>>7382482
Capital idea! Loyal subjects to the crown, and their zealous nature and well-known bravery befits any subjects of the Empire! Trouble is, there's rather a lot to do in the Empire, and Ghurkas are NOT ten a pence. If we could even find a pair, or a small squad. . . Heavens knows what we could do with that!

>>7382949
The guards are back by the camp, you and Riker just went out for the usual supply review. You are close enough to him to charge and then punch him within a couple seconds. You have your revolver and cutlass (but that is a slow weapon). Can you guys vote on what response you want?

>>7382870

Step in front of his line of fire. Order him by the authority vested in you to put down his gun, and to turn away- let us speak to the man before he frightens him half to death.

>>7382870
See >>7382949 and:
"Let me remind you, I serve our King first and foremost, not some American Heiress. However, when confronted in battle with another nation, it is wise to take assistance when it can be offered."

>>7382991
Attempt>>7382949 , but be ready for action. We don't wish him death, but he's threatening a guest.

>>7382991
I vote one more chance to talk, and then a punch attempt.

>>7383009
But captain do we step in front of the shot in case he shoots?

Five

Anyways, you say captain's post to him. He says. whatever help this abomination may provide good men may provide better. He raises the run a ndcocks it. ORDERS?

>>7382991

VOTE: Step in front of his line of fire, and order him to halt his actions by authority of the military.

>>7382898

The indomitability of the British soldier is well known sir, but if I could I'd replace every Englishman back in his true country whilst clockwork soldiers and steam-tanks forced their way through the battlefield. I wish for a world where men such as Sire Hugh Gough were not risking their lives when they could be spared.

As for the "demonic" act- well, war -is- hell sir. Isn't it a demonic act to destroy another man's life in the first place? I was taught that if the death of one man, no matter how gruesome, would stop a hundred from fighting on, then we as Englishmen must steel ourselves to do whatever is necessary to preserve as much life as possible. Isn't it sensible that a hundred tribesmen die, their corpses are discovered, and none fight on? We have their best interests at heart!

Roll 1d2

rolled 1 = 1

>>7383155

>>7383116
>>7383033
I'm not going to take the chance of getting shot, since he DID threaten us at one point. I'd rather grab his weapon or punch him.

>>7383155

Surely not! If this is the questleader, he's missing his name.

We need one more vote for step or not step. Sam? I dont wanna vote caused imma newfag

I need a final vote on stepping in front or another actions guys, I wish these anon would vote. :/

Vote for the step!

Englishmen should have no fear!

Step infront, whilst ordering him to stand down... ect.. its already been said.. just go with it

>>7383200
By all means vote! Everyone has a valid opinion. I vote against stepping in front of him; he's shot officers before. I say go with >>7382949

>>7383186

Is this man so far gone that he would /murder/ an officer of the British Army?! Good Lord! But. . . Are we to strike a fellow officer?! Good Lord!


. . .

I- I was not taught what to do in this situation! A man should stand down when ordered, if not he's to be court martialed for disobeying a direct order, and imprisoned in the meantime! We. . . I-

I humbly suggest we subdue him, and imprison him for questioning orders. He can wait out his time here until he may as such be transferred from our control.

I yield to the anon horde. Roarke steps in front of Riker, and gets a bullet in the ribs. Fortunately it doesnt do anything more than make you bleed and break a rib. Riker doesn't resist when your grens arrive to arrest him. The assistant is fine. ORDERS?

>>7383116
You fool yourself then. Maybe the Academy men are farther past their time then I recall. Men like Hugh Gough were not forced to such feats, they sough them. Why I recall a battle back in the earlies, Hugh wore his fighting coat of purest white and let cry when the savages charged: "At last, we can be at them with bayonets!" He carried that day as he did every other, never losing for his credit.

Removing men from war, removes its only honor. Killing a man for being an enemy is a necessity, torturing him with gas is cowardly, just the same. Let them fear us for our stoutness in battle and strength in the fight, not in our machinations of nature.

I restate my favor of speaking sense to him, but not place our person in front of a madman.

>>7383315
I thought we had two more attempts to talk him down BEFORE we did a movement action.

>>7383336
We used one attempt then decided on skipping the second. I'm not happy either we shouldnt have stepped

>>7383315
"Keep Riker disarmed and under guard for the next week." Talk to Tesla's assistant in private. Continue the construction on the Stone Wall.

>>7383368
Also get bandaged up. After we talk with Tesla's guy lets go and chat with Riker. Sort things out and such.

Slightly annoyed at the decision - being a namefag and all, I figured the votes of the namefags would be better than the anons.

>>7383368
We'd best see for a bottle of liquor as well to clean the wound at the least, infections are dreadful out here.

>>7383315
Well... shit. Let's get that bandaged up and prepare to speak with Mr. Tesla's assistant.

>>7383405
>being a namefag and all, I figured the votes of the namefags would be better than the anons.
And that is why namefags are hated. We're all here for the same fight.

>>7383408
Okay, I need two roleplay dialogues. First what do you say to the chained and gagged Riker? and second what do you say to Tesla's drone?

Also I dont hate namefags, Sam's roll decided it because it was a tie

>>7383446
"Mr. Riker, I understand your hatred of the abomination, but I must say I deplore your manners as a host."

Sam? Captain? Robert? Liutenant? Please dont hate on teh OP

>>7383315

The man- the man shot an a servant of the Crown! Imprison him! He shall be fed and watered on half rations, bread and water. Remove his weaponry, search him, lock him and place him under guard!

We may wish to seek medical attention, but speak to the man- who is he, and what is his purpose?

>>7383316
Sir Sale, I will not speak against those who were kind enough to impart their wisdom to me so I may better serve the Crown in my own way. We have a difference of opinion my good sir, and I believe I am not so skilled a speaker as to sway you. I apologize for any insult I may have paired to you in the heat of the argument- though I hope I have done no such thing- and I withdraw myself from this debate. I only wish to preserve life as necessary- and it seems sound to me that should a single man die horribly to save others, then I would wish for his demise. I wish that there was no reason for man to be against another- but while there is conflict, I will fight to lessen casualties, and if I may not lessen the casualties of all, I will lessen first our own casualties, for the sake of the kingdom, of course, but for their sakes and the sakes of all they know as well.

>>7383489
I'm not hatin' on him. Not at all! Now, for Tesla's lad.

"Welcome to the colony sir. Dreadfully sorry about the welcoming party, but that man can be quite the zealot. We've received word from Mr. Tesla about your arrival and your mission to the Lost City. Please, tell us more about your excursion so we may best help you."

>>7383446
Just stating my opinion, that's all. I'm no GM.

To Tesla's Drone:
"Well, I received your Master's request, and now I've gone and shed blood on your behalf. You better be able to give me a damn good explanation why you didn't come covered in a cloak or something so we wouldn't flip at your appearance. You should damn well know we don't take too kindly to altered beings in areas under the King's Jurisdiction. So, spit it out, why are you here, and what do you have for us?"

To Riker:
"You're damn lucky that bullet didn't do any more damage to me than it did. You just assaulted a superior officer, a loyal subject of our King. I could have you hanged. Then what good would you do for our King and Country then, huh? I was ordered to take care of you and keep you useful and alive by his majesty's orders, but you are working a noose around your neck yourself. While you are here, I am an extension of the King's Will - I am here for the best interests of our country and empire, and YOU WILL OBEY ME! Or I will have you imprisoned and return you to our land to be hung in disgrace! Answer me! WILL YOU OBEY ME AS YOU WOULD THE KING?"

>>7383431
Seconded. That statement was bad, and you should feel bad Captain.

>>7383490
Fret not, silver-tongued Hardinge couldn't sway this stubborn mule. Loosen your color and get a colonial native to save your life a few times, your opinion may change. God save the Queen.

>>7383544
I do feel bad.

>>7383554
*all together* God save the Queen!

>>7383478
+2 to Riker respect and awesome from Wit
>>7383538
Riker spits in your face in response, and says, you would be the one hanged for harboring an altered being. Your collaboration with this "thing" has shown me that you are truly in the pockets of the Americans.

The drone listens, nods, and then hands you a timesheet describing his schedule for tomorrow. He then walks over to a pile of wood and goes to sleep on it. ORDERS?

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

>>7383599
Well, I fucked up. Hah.

Read the timesheet, please. I think I'll stop talking to Riker, things aren't working out with my angry style.

The King or Queen? I am getting conflicting messages here.

If he's alive in a tiger trap, he's still alive for sake of the rp, correct?

I say we keep him the hole for a while, see if the bastard can sweat. When we receive our rp for his continued existence, I say we give him a rifle and afresh reload of ammunition and point him toward the french. Offer him the right to die serving the Crown, rather than on the Crown's noose.

Of course, he might just be likely to turn it on us. We'd do bets to keep him bound and blinded until sufficiently far away from us.

This all just fancy, mind.

>>7383554
*Automatic and earnest salute* God save the Queen!

I, er, wouldn't know much about natives and their actions, only what my tutors have spoken. This is my first assignment, where I'm to be blooded before I'm off to do my work for the Empire in whatever campaign I'm needed!

>>7383446
"You are hereby deprived of rank and a prisoner of the Empire. Your weapons and outfit are requisitioned, and you are no longer under any authority to command."

"My good sir, I apologize for this uncivilized welcome! Who are you, exactly, and what is your purpose here?"

>>7383658
There is currently a purely ceremonial dispute going on about the crown which has resulted in the military men saying God save the King while it is all sorted out. Everyone else says god save the queen.

>>7383619
Timesheet outlines when the drone will start his work. He will wake up at 9:00 and work from there.

>>7383670
Hahaha-no. reading back, you will find that you have to keep him alive and happy. No respect from him, no rp. You have to choose. Do you hope tesla's reward outweighs his respect?

edited to remove my email address sorry

>>7383712
Suppose we throw in a tiger every once in a while to keep him occupied? I'm sure it would be to his taste.

At the same time, I fear he could fashion some kind of blade from the poor tiger's bones and rope from its entrails and come for our head.

>>7383712
Robert's line of conversation was effective on gaining respect, I'd ask him to continue along that route so we can gain said respect and maybe keep him from killing Tesla's man.

So for Tesla's man, we simply let him run around on his own? He doesn't want any assistance?

>>7383775
this guy is described as a drone by the op, so lets treat him like an escort. We tell some dudes to follow him. This guy obviously cant speak.

>>7383759
So we've got +2 respect with him now, huh? Okay, assign 5 Grenadiers and 10 Riflemen to guard the drone starting at 9:00.

Any chance on expanding the mine again with the new dynamite? And how goes work on the wall and housing?

>>7383775
I take the compliment and the salt behind it as it was given. I'd be happy, but only if the game master consents. I fear we have went too far with further words. I also fear it will be generally disliked if I'm given free reign in any respect.

>>7383832
We can speak to Riker at any time during captivity, so if you think you can help it would be wise to do so.
>>7383801
Housing at 50%, wall at 45%. Can i get a confirm on the escort package? This guy has going into the second level on his time sheet! ORDERS?

>>7383832
You speak words good. Do it more.

>>7383897
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Let's add a couple of the Native Guides to the retinue. They might be able to help some. Another Grenadier for an even 6,5 more Rifles, 10 mercs, and two Gatling trucks.

>>7383897
Lets put an advance on that scouting party we had set up then. Lets also talk again with Riker before we enter the Second Level with that other guy we haven't seen in a while. Our construction looks properly on schedule.

>>7383945

This.

And if Tesla doesn't appreciate this then wth

>>7383968
Winston is out on a scouting mission, we can't take him with us. And what with our recent injury, I don't like the idea of going to the Lost City in person. We should stay behind to keep watch over Riker and try to get o his good side.

>>7383897
>This guy has going into the second level on his time sheet! ORDERS?

Ah, a daring fellow beneath his pipes! Well, Winston is still down there with his men if I'm correct. >>7383801 This escort should be sufficient. If they run into Winston they can spare some riflemen for his losses, if he had any. I'd like to go with them for the sake of adventure, but I fear we're needed here. Our wound doesn't help either.

Okay, I need some decisions. Do we go with the team? We can probably handle it, after all we have more ribs. remember you CANT take trucks inside the city, you gotta park them outside. I need confirmed specifics for the escort force, and finally, (optional) another roleplay conversation with Riker

>>7384060
Hmmm. I proposed sending the trucks in case they need a safe place to fall back to; gatling guns can help make the area safe. I'd again caution against going ourselves. Perhaps sending Godfreid?

>>7383993

I agree we should stay behind and see to our wound first off- perhaps a gatling truck should go with the man to aid him, though? As well as a native guide or two? It wouldn't do for this man to be injured in our absence. . . The gall of that scoundrel to shoot us! And him! Isn't he supposed to be an officer of the King?!

>>7384109
Being meta here, my description options are limited to the rolls that I make on my desk if we don't go on the expedition. :\
>>7384125
I think everyone would be much obliged if you could get Riker back to his senses in conversation. That however is HARD. ORDERS?

>>7384153

. . . Could we reform the man? Is it possible, my good sir?

>>7384153
We need a Heart to heart with Riker.

I know this is hard, but out in the bush, good officers are hard to find, much less with the experience of Riker.

We let him stew for a day or two, then we come in with a full plate of food some good stiff British drink, and a heart to heart talk.

>>7384183
Op said that you can try, but I suggest using all ur writefaggotry powers or it might be bad for our relationship with Riker.

>>7384153
To be honest, we've had a lot of the fighting tactics part of the game for the last couple of threads; I'm eager to get back to the colony management part of it. I'd be fine with you using rolls to determine what happens.

>>7384060
>We can probably handle it, after all we have more ribs.

That's a chipper attitude if I ever saw one.

Sam's proposed list and addendum seems more than sufficient, even if the gatlings just bolster a fall back position. I have my misgivings about going, but I very much want to see what our guest is up to. Godfreid, bless his soul, I wouldn't send. Leave him to his papers.

>>7384183
Reform is a powerful word and is often lost on madmen. I'd suggest the iron hand, but in a glove of silk.

>>7384211
Does everyone agree/disagree with sitting this battle out?
>>7384220
>>7384192
You guys are right, but someone needs to use all the VICTORIAN WRITEFAGGORTY in the world to reform Riker. ORDERS?

>>7384259

Battle? There's to be a battle? We can't sit out a battle! We're Englishmen for god's sakes, and we must defend our guests and our own! If there's to be a battle, we must do all within our power to preserve this man's life!

>>7384259
Attempting writefaggotry in Word now. Will post it in a few minutes when it's done.

>VICTORIAN WRITEFAGGORTY in the world to reform Riker. ORDERS?

Sir Sale, I would be honored if you could answer affirmatively in my request that you attempt some wonderful writefaggotry to reform this man into a good, honest soldier worthy of taking the King's Shilling.

>>7384259
It probably would be in our best interests to sit the battle out.

>>7384259
Agree to sit out, there will be other battles, best to keep in top form for them.

>>7384319
Awaiting with great interest.

>>7384319
Go, man with the silver tongue. My Iron Rod is not needed here!

>>7384346
Sam rides point on this one, he's more than earned the chance.

>>7384379
Just so, many thanks for the vote of confidence though.

Here it goes, hope I didn't screw up too badly:

"Riker. We are both men of the Crown. We both give our lives, each and every day, to ensure it’s everlasting glory. I believe you are a good man. But you are constantly at odds with others. Why? Because you see them as traitors. But think. Surely there could never be so many traitors in Her Imperial Majesties’ domain? Is it not possible that at times, you have in the past over reacted? Not in regards to treason, which must be rooted out wherever it is found, but in your judgment of others."

"The last thing I wish to see is some unholy abomination walking around our camp, but we need only use him until he has completed his task. Once done, he will be on his way, and we may gain access to some of Tesla’s technology. Not just for us, but for the entire British Empire! Then, with their own weapons can we eventually take the fight to them and liberate the so-called country of America. It is not that we have not set the man’s execution date; we’ve simply postponed it until a time most beneficial to Her Majesty."

>>7384444
Awesome.

>>7384444
+10 Riker respect. He says, but...but...I have always found traitors...wait-you question my judgment? But..I have been hurting the crown's interests then. Riker attempts to choke himself with his chains .ORDERS?

>>7384479
Wait until his color changes a bit, best he get most of it out. Intercede when we suspect he's about to damage to himself.

Be wary he doesn't try to strangle us.

>>7384479
Get the guards to restrain him, More writefaggotry needed to keep him from killing himself?

>>7384517
>>7384515
after spending the better part of half an hour trying to kill himself, Riker gives up, slumps in his chains and falls asleep. Alright time to STORM THE SECOND LEVEL. final troop revisions? could someone remind me of the specific force we are taking in?

Guys I think we are autosaging. Imma archive soon

>>7384467
>>7384479
Whew, I was worried that would all just slide off him. Glad I was able to contribute!

>>7384551
We are sending 6 Grenadiers, 15 rifles, 10 mercs, 2 native guides and 2 Gatling trucks.

>>7384551
If I interpreted it correctly:

15 Rifles
6 Grenadiers
10 Mercs

And two gatling trucks at the entrance of the city for fall back and a couple of natives more guidance. Though i suspect our guest won't be guided, but leading. They can at least warn the soldiers to dangerous places.

>>7384551

If there's time for us to go- I think we shouldn't turn down a chance to go ADVENTURIN'! For God and Kingdom!

>>7384573
We can ride the Autosage for a while.
