I... Never noticed honestly. Personal guess? High stress situation where we need to stay focused.

There is wild speculation however, typically. Inane commentary is usually when Mooch is involved. Long term planning is kind of shot right now because we're focusing on "What in the fuck is going on."

>>19931347
This is probably mostly it. I would assume that most of us that participate more than likely don't have a strong knowledge of Armored Core.

And I think there is a lack of future planning because Alex and his team has been far too engaged in battling all these different enemies that we (or at least I) wouldn't really focus on what sort of Core to get in the long run.

As for wild speculation, I've been imagining those two voices you occasionally allude to that protect and guide Alex and Liz (I think?) are like the trio of siblings from Minority Report, except not fake, are actually psychic and belong to some higher race of beings that is on humanity's side.
>>
>>19931286

You slice the next two cores out of your way.

"Who the blazes are you?" Your opponent asks, completely bewildered.

You let out a hollow, short bark of a laugh. "If I had my way? No-one of consequence."

"No really, what the fuck. You took out seven of my beta-grades in about as many seconds. There are seven people EVER who should be capable of that. Three of them work for us, two of them are DEAD, and the other two are already accounted for."

"Clearly you either overestimate yourself, or underestimate what humans are capable of."

"i highly doubt that. I think it's more likely that you're just very good at flying under the radar. VERY good if you can avoid getting our attention."

"Invest in better radar." You quip, before launching yourself into the air and backwards.

"What the hell is that supposed to...." He comments, as his remaining forms mass up and rush you. Then a pair of missles fly out under you, and explode in the air directly ahead of Legion's swarm. Then a giant beam hits it, and refracts in a oddly beautiful kaleidoscope effect, before exploding into what can only be described as a laser-shotgun blast, shredding the handful of cores left.

"Much obliged for the save Captain."

"No problem Sir." Captain Brenner's steady voice replies. "Though it's hard for it to be a save when you could have resolved the situation yourself."

You chuckle. "You greatly overestimate my abilities. How are things looking back in Vegas?"

"Looks like the enemy's pulling back. A retreat?"

"Somehow I'm inclined to believe that it's more like regrouping. Alex and I just kicked the shit out of the hornet's nest."

While he's gone.....

>no conversation.

Let's fix that. First off, didn't Dervish claim he only made it to Lieutenant Commander in the Pack? Why the hell would a Captain be calling someone they sit two ranks above 'sir'?

Secondly, If Brenner's squad came to the rescue, that would mean that more than likely, the guy with the beam thing is the guy Dave fought. Where can we get our hands on that gun?

Also, and this REALLY bothers me, what the hell game is Dervish playing? He deliberately loses to us, then helps us, then lies to us, then manipulates us..... Who the fuck is he, and why the hell has he taken an interest in us?

Dervish already is a cyborg. IIRC, both eyes, a hand, and part(?) of his spine. At least.
>>
>>19932228
Well, I'm pretty sure he's human. He's also been in contact with those... Things, along with us, and denied them. Because he wants to stay hidden. My question? Why does he want to stay off the radar so much, what did he do that apparently makes him want to dive for cover permanently? Who did he piss off? What did he piss off? Does he just want to be a hermit, because its much easier to just get a shack in the middle of a desert than use an AC as odd and powerful as his.

He has millions of dollars, and has said as much in passing.

If he wanted to disappear, why hasn't he? He still went into the arena. He's still running around being badass.

Didn't that one blurb also have him plotting to kill Fraide and his partner?
>>
>>19932286
If we do end up fighting Dervish we'll have to make sure things are extremely in our favor to have a snowball's chance in hell. We need to keep him at a large distance and keep on backing away from him and hopefully not get hit by his Karasawa while we fire at him.

If he gets up close Alex is absolutely fucked, and with Master Duelist we have to be more than a move action away from him at all times or a single miss means he is in melee range and turns us into scrap.
>>
>>19932308

Mildly insane? Like how we play Alex?
>>
>>19932351
I think it was less "plotting to kill" and more of a run in with an old enemy. Which makes me think he may of stolen something from that pre-calamity archive. That, or he was in competition to get something that would be put into said archive.

"It's quiet right now, people seem to be backing off the main assault and such. We've all taken a few hits. Ari seems to be the worst of us right now." Your heart skips a beat "Nothing too serious, but she's never seen real combat before and this is one hell of a trial by fire."

"What the hell is Scenario 'B' anyway?"

"It's pretty simple. We got together and listed all the possible things that could explain the weird goings on shortly before that clusterfuck at the end of the tournament happened. We then basically went down the list alphabetically. A being the worst possible case scenario...."

"So wait, a group consisting of spies and mercenaries put on their tin-foil hats and dreamed up a list of bad shit? and this is the SECOND worst thing you could imagine happening?"

"Uh.... yes and no. I mean, your interpretation isn't wrong so much as it is inaccurate, but you're close enough to what I can explain in the time we've got to work with. That said, B was more or less the beginning of a 'total war' scenario on the local scale. If Dervish thinks that's the case, then likely the first attack was designed to get our measure instead of actually harm us. We'll likely be seeing the real attack soon."

".... you should tell this to Duke."

"Doing it now." He says, hanging up as you reach the small plaza your team's set up in.

"Hey Alex." Dave says. His core looks like it's taken a little bit of a beating. "Most of the outskirts have been evacuated, including the 'New Hope' area. Currently they're congregating towards the center for a more cohesive defense and/or evacuation. How do you want to play this?"

To be totally honest, I didn't see his plot twist coming. I had a vague guess about Laurie, I think I might know what Dervish's deal is, but Dave got me completely out of left field.

Yeah, we should have put her out there during the experimental core fight. Oh well, hind sight's 50/50.

.... We need to huddle up and get a plan here guys. We're doing something wrong, and we need to figure out what it is.

Yeah, this guy. What is even his Deal? If he was even SLIGHTLY less compelling as a character, I'd be calling him a bullshit mary-sue. As it is, I feel oddly intrigued. It's always interesting when a GM puts a high level NPC in the area, if only to see how they handle the power-gap.

>Liz

I am now terrified for our adorable little lesbian.

Actually, wait, is she a lesbian? Or is she Bi or something? I remember her making comments towards Will.

Speaking of Will, he was acting weird. I think he had an 'inappropriate to proper emotional distance' crush, and ended up crushed when she hooked up with Abby.

Then, full tin-foil hat time,. he tried to kill her, then killed Mitch to cover his tracks. he's going pycho because his Waifu's out of bounds now.

The answer to both of these is obvious: we need to do things that build up her self esteem and self reliance in a way that neither distances her from us or involves using us as a crutch. Here's my suggestion: talk to Mom. See if she can talk Kate/Ari/Elsie into joining her for some sort of 'girls only' things. Like shopping or a trip to the spa or something.

>Liz is pretty cheerful.

No fucking shit. If I had a mini orgasm every time I got a hug I'd probably wander through life dazed and with a shit eating grin plastered on my face.
>>
>>19934069
That does sound like a good idea. Here's hoping its not too late for down time stuff though...
>>
>>19934138
I'm sure it'll come up. And it is indeed a good idea.
>>
>>19934111

I'd be surprised if you didn't.

So, thought about it a little on my way to work, and I think it's hard to plan, when we were still pretty unstable. Then, when things were looking to stablize some, suddenly the tournament's a trap, and Vegas is under attack, shaking things up all over again.
>>
>>19939125

That dosen't stop us from at least having a vague idea of where we want to be.

I think we should make a checklist of goals for the quest, and see how many we can accomplish.

Also, AC-Guy, out of curiosity: Who's the hardest character for you to write? The easiest? The most fun?

Just wondering.
>>
>>19939219

Proposed checklist:

[ ] Help team past their respective issues.
[ ] Get the survivors of Hope somewhere stable and decent, long-term.
[ ] Solve the mystery of 'The Conductors'.
[ ] Solve the mystery of 'Dervish'.
[ ] Solve the mystery of 'Nine-Ball'.

Feel free to add to this list.
>>
>>19939265
Well, the burb of Vegas we're in now should be stable and decent in the long--term, quite possibly with an additional influx of cash, beyond paying off the initial debt for the area.

I think the real question should be, do we want to try and set up another independent colony? A "New Hope," if you will.

Aand I'm out of useful comments/content to bump with, so, oh well.

Life support bump.
Had another power outage last night, so that's why I disappeared without warning.

>>19943758

Invest in backup power supplies?

[ ] Ninja proof everything

>>19944122

Really needs to be done.
>>
>>19939309

You mean the place currently being attacked by a homicidal AI who wants to suffer and/or die?

I feel we can do better than that.

>>19944122
>>19944188

Seriously. We should see if we can get Dervish to break in, just to find all the security loop-holes and shit.
>>
>>19944742
Well, he's attacking all of Vegas. Not just our 'burb. If it wasn't a homicidal AI, or lunatics (Black Rock) Vegas isn't gonna get attacked.

Before we get Dervish to break in, we make sure our comms are resecured.

Trust me I WISH I could afford a generator. I had the battery out of my laptop to improve the cooling, and the outage caught me off guard.

>>19945689

So bad timing and the world hates you?
>>
>>19945916
Bad timing yes. But in the words of Marcus Aurelius: "Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and say, 'Why were things of this sort ever brought into this world?'"
>>
>>19945989

I don't know about bitter cucumbers, but I do try to avoid sour ones.
>>
>Hey guys, I REALLY hate to do this, especially since I was looking forward to the next bit....

>But I'm pretty sure my dog is dieing. And I feel like that's more important right now.

>Maybe I can do this tomorrow. Right now though, I think AC-Quest is cancelled. I'll keep answering questions and comments as I can though.
>>
>>19946573
Oh, balls. Good luck, dude.

>>19946573
Take as long as you need, we can go a few days without a new thread.

I was visiting my grandparents when their old dog died. I know how it feels.
>>
>>19946573
That's pretty serious. Hope he makes it though AC-Guy, real life stuff like that is more important.

Shit man, hope things get better.

>Same dog actually.
>>
>>19946754
I'm in a similar boat with my childhood dog.

Just stick by her to the end.
>>
>>19946754
Still sucks, man. I had a cat die last year, after she'd stuck around through a house fire and all the bullshit that entailed. I was friggin' wreck.

>I've suffered considerably worse than a dead animal. To be honest I'm not even that upset. She was getting to be in a bad way to the point that we were seriously considering having her put down.

>I'm more worried about my mother. She tends to take these things a lot harder than the rest of us.
>>
>>19939219

>Just noticed this post.

>Hardest character to write is a toss-up between Dervish and Steve. Steve I just feel I haven't QUITE nailed the half-assed arrogant swagger he has yet. Dervish is for kinda spoiler-y reasons.

>Easiest is pretty much everyone else so far. One thing I've prided myself on is the ability to create believable and interesting characters. One of the side effects to this is that I pretty much always know how they're going to react in a given situation. I honestly believe that if you put enough love and attention into a character, they'll take on a life of their own and literally write themselves.

>Deciding which one is the most fun is like asking a parent which child is their favorite. If I had to pick one, I'd say Ari probably. I don't have a younger sister, but I do have an older one. She inspired a lot more of Ari's base personality than she'll ever know. But it's really interesting how much the age-swap affects the dynamics of the relationship. Alex is much closer to her, Ari's more of a risk taker since she has a guardian angel of sorts, and a million other details I feel I get across in writing, but it's hard to sit down and quantify.

>I enjoyed writing this post far more than I thought I would.
>>
>>19947787
My condolences

>>19948710
It might sound weird but it always seemed like you had fun when writing Ari, but maybe that's just because of what she's gotten to do so far.

Is there any character you'd like us to spend more time with just so you can write them more or work on getting their personality figured out?

Not saying we'll do it but you never know.
>>
So, what sort of adventures did we miss out on with Liz by not picking her at the start?
>>
>>19949483

>Actually, I like how you've seemingly made most, if not all, choices from Alex's perspective.

>And Ari really brings out another side to most of the cast. I think that's the main reason I enjoy her.

>>19952715

>For one, the original situation you would have had a lot more control over. beyond much I can't say anything that isn't currently spoilers.
>>
>>19953616
Filthy, filthy spoilers.
>>
>>19953636

>I'm sorry, but there's a lot of intrigue in the background. If one route was to have you find out that, as an example, Ken was a spy by walking in on him, and that normally wouldn't be revealed until two chapters later when he double-crossed you.....

>Not saying Ken's a spy. In fact he's probably one of the more trustworthy minor characters.
>>
>>19953666
Oh, dude, no worries. It was a joke.

>>19953682

I know. I think the internet has collectively destroyed man's ability to detect sarcasm.

why the turtleneck dicksquare rolling wet assdonkey mountain goat this has never been mentioned on /m/? I fucking had to click the wrong bottom page link to discover it.

Out of curiosity, does that mean you're going to bring this back to /m/?

>The only core that's been given a solid stat-line for the players to look at is Alex's, but it was built here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/18616965/

>Honestly though, we're in some down-time. It might just be a good idea to read the archives so you know where we're at plot-wise.

I'd link to the pastebin with the system primer, but I don't have the link on my phone

Yeah, I was going to read them anyway.
I'll keep you under my radar.
