Well yeah Stanten, why would you ask someone to do something if all you're going to get is after action theorizing?

Ask you meaning Machinsts, not you personally.

I'm not sure it came down to actual orders, but even if it did, doesn't mean they were avenues worth pursuing, and it certainly doesn't equate to critical intel. It comes down to this: we'd be no worse off if you hadn't discovered these things. Same goes for your discovery of New Zion while I'm at it. Yeah, that little nugget really made the world a better place.

Oh sure, I'm well known for not doing anything. Please.

Stanten

Actually, you made a point that I was holding in reserve. Had we not discovered new Zion when we did, they'd have almost definitely retrieved all of their provisions, equipment and personel before your bosses decided to make a move. How nice would it have been for them to be fully fortified at around the time of Halborn's arrival when the Machines pulled all of their resources back to their city? And can you please remind me again who the Machines went to and asked to coordinate a strike against Old Zion with? While we're on the topic, what exactly have people like you managed to accompolish?

This is pretty pathetic. Before the war, we operated much the same as we do now while you were leashed and muzzled, merely a barking dog with no bite.. Now that the war's going on, little has changed. We do what we do, you've been unleashed and are now sans muzzle, and you sat down and kept up the barking but you still don't bite. I'm just glad that not all Machinists share your views.

What Stanten said!

((I'll try to give you an answer amongst all the bickering. The game is turn based and played on hex board of random configuration. When you first start, you determine the stats of your ship in four categories: Shields, which protect from shots, Energy, which determine how many moves you make and the success of an EMP, Ballistics, which determine how accurate your shots are, and Hull which is essential HP. Each team has a commander which relays the rounds orders and the battle coordinator arranges these moves and determines how the various ships interact. We use /random 3 or a macro that does that, to determine the rolls for interactions. At the end of a round the board is updated and you keep going at it. There are various winning scenarios which are specific to each battle. Check it out some time!))

Hee, the visual scans on this really help enhance the immediacy of the engagement. Thanks for including them!

(( And is it me, or was someone taking a *LOT* of shots of us Mervs? I suspect someone liked Sieges's white outfit, hee!))

Tis nice to recieve recognition for this, I mean 5.5 hours long in battle amist the yelling bickering a majorly annoying and frustrating entrance of Merv ships(however understandable they may have been). Even though both Zion and EPN had doubts frombeing surrounded, out numbered by atleast three, not including some over powered ships, and being over all *CENSORED* tired from being under the stress of all of the fighting. In the end all of us REFUSED to give up and showed the Mechs and Cyphs up with a 8-1 Win (eight kills for us(including the two who lost connection) one kill for them).

My crew is still cleaning the oil off our windshields from the slaughter that was that battle.

((hopefully more people join the battles after we finally get one as an LE, and we got a very small mention in the Crit here too, no names though just the battle))

Why do I see Vinia and Illyria in almost every Zion-esque Live Event post?))

Also its kinda cool to be quoted in the title for the LE post. SMILEY ))

((No no. I meant in like.. every single thread that would provide some incentive to cause pointless arguments. Like Halborne's waistline and stuff.))
