Co-operative Missions

[Kaeb]

The problem is that you're automatically deciding that the Republic agents are discovered and then that's the catalyst for aid. You can't just decide automatically that the agents are going to be captured. That's not fair to those people's characters, because you're not even giving them a chance to make it out.

Having the hologram meeting allows them the possibility of escaping and then getting word of the face-to-face meeting back to the Republic.

I never said anything about being captured.

I said discovered, the Hutts would send a small strike team consisting of the smaller rank roleplayers in the faction, giving them a chance to affect the overall story. They would be locked in a battle on the surface, with the fleets battling up above.

I never said I was making a decision for everyone, I said I saw it as the best possible situation for a fun roleplay for every faction and ultimately everyone to get involved in.

Jedi, Bogan, Hutts, S13, and the Republic.

I meant to say you're automatically deciding that they're discovered. That's not free form. That's too much faction leader manipulation, and it's not fair to those who would be RPing the S13 agents knowing that no matter what they do, the enemy is going to discover them.

Look, you signed off on a plan earlier. Why can't we just follow it?

We're still going through with a plan, I just don't see the point in a face-to-face meeting at all.

I think the discovery aspect makes the most sense for the overall story, I wouldn't call it faction leadership manipulation at all. It's giving them a chance to do more than just three posts saying:

''I'm In''.

''Oooh a secret meeting.''

''Republic BRING THE RAIN on these holograms!''.

Also I'd have no idea who to send for a face to face meeting.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

It's not the republic bringing the rain on holograms, it's them bringing the rain on the second meeting where we're both there in person. :CIsee:

 

[Brandon Rhea]

You can always NPC some Hutt Council member for the face-to-face meeting.

I don't think it'll matter if that's all the S13 agents do too. In all fairness, this is not the type of mission a Sector 13 agent goes on. This is a run-of-the-mill reconnaissance mission, regardless of who they're spying on. S13 agents go on the type of missions where, to quote the God awful Pearl Harbor, you earn medals but they send those medals to your loved ones.

As far as that being all the faction leaders can do, this whole thing was proposed as a multi-thread operation, so why we're talking about that as a bad thing now is kinda weird.

So the S13 agents can learn of the location of the face-to-face meeting, which would be established via the hologram meeting, and then report to the Republic. The two factions at the meeting would be stupid not to have a sizable defense force as a precaution, so that's what the Republic could fight against, and then the Hutts could send in reinforcements.

Pearl Harbor.

:CStern:.

Both seem like plausible scenario's scenario's to me. How about I just start up the thread in like an hour and we'll see how it all goes down instead of trying to dictate the outcome here?

How's that sound?

Eh?

Eh?

 

[Brandon Rhea]

That's fine.

Have the S13 agents been chosen, though? If you guys get too far into a meeting and they're not chosen to do anything, then that's a waste of a thread.

That's up to Sin really. I can roleplay most of the Hutt activity up until the military thread which will be taken over by Viggy most likely although I intend to pop in every so often via communications.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

Kupo is the one who directs S13 agents since he's the Chancellor. Orders come from the Chancellor, after all.

Well he better get his ass on that then.:CHappy:

 

[Kaeb]

Threads up.

EDIT: Bac could you put Hutt/Bogan/S13 in the thread title please in brackets, It slipped my mind.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

Done, though I put S13 as "S13 by assignment only" just so all S13 people don't go in thinking it's open to everyone.

Danke.

Stealing my Main thread recruitment idea hmm? :CStern:

Stealing my Main thread recruitment idea hmm? :CStern:

I can see how it would look like that, I was meaning to do it anyway.























:CHappy:

 

[Brandon Rhea]

What idea is that?

 

[Kaeb]

What idea is that?

We both started threads in our respective faction boards recruiting those interested in joining the main thread.

I'm worried my entire member base is inactive apart from Viggy and Cailst :/

 

[Brandon Rhea]

You've got Taungs too. Just say that this battle takes place after the conclusion of the previous one.

I know that, but there are very few of those aswell. And that's going to be established yes.

Sheo hurry up:CIsee:

 

[Ser Gregor]

Why are we talking about fleet battle? You don't send a fleet to kill two people, you send a fast, agile ship and a small, organic fast-response strike team to take them out.

I've nothing against space battles, but that's not the only kind there is. Makes more sense to me that S13 gets the location, slips out (S13 being the best of the best, it'd be pretty damn hard to discover them if they're there strictly for recon), informs the Republic, and they prepare two or three strike teams (mixed Republic and Jedi forces) to take out different targets.

It, in the end, allows the same ammount of people in the battle, but shifts it away from the naval side. You aren't, after all, trying to take a planet.

Each team would have their own thread with a specific goal in place related to the other team.

EDIT: I also volunteer my S13 agent for the first thread.
