EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

[Calinon]

Heroes yes, but four color? This is far from a four color world. Needlessly endangering innocents is still bad. Protecting people and battling mutants is important, but sometimes those legal lines will have to be crossed. Plus Methesay isn't just some corporation. It's suspected of illegal activities.

I see buzzard's point, though --

Trying to sneak in during broad daylight is probably far from a good idea. Even with the mutant powers available for this mission, broad daylight infilitration is going to end badly, just from a logistical standpoint -- even if you can somehow circumvent recording devices, you're trying to sneak into the building at the time when it's at its highest levels of human activity.


I didn't think we were four-color. However, we are high-strung teens... perhaps, as teens, we've gotten ahead of ourselves in the thinking curve on this plan. I think the scene will be pretty interesting, nonetheless...

Hey, how'd this turn into an OOC arguement? Each PC believes what they believe is the best way to handle this, it should be left at that. Buzzard's right, though, we tried to do this the right way first, doing it the wrong way second could lead to trouble, but trouble is fun.

That said, Neutron really doesn't like SJ (can ya tell?), and would probably do the opposite of whatever he proposed, despite how wise it is.

I don't think it as sneaking more so just sort of walking up to a computer and going from there, a lot of people will have a list of usernames and passwords written down somewhere by the monitor, especially in big companies.

You would be amazed at where you can go if you radiate a "I am supposed to be here" attitude.

Of course that only gets you so far and then the fire fight starts.

If EPIC regularly ignores the law, I can't see how they would maintain government sanction. I could imagine that if they do it in a hush-hush manner, they could get away from it by the authorities deliberately looking the other way, but something like breaking into a company in broad daylight just won't fly IMHO. I can just see the 6 O'Clock news "EPIC attacks legitimate businessman".

Now mind you SJ won't act to stop you, and he will bail you out if the excrement hits the ventilator. But he'd be willing to tell Thunder he was wrong if he suggested an open attack on someone without proof.

What I saw the briefing as meaning was to go there, make threats, and maybe provoke something into happening with strong language and being pushy. Sneaking around like a thief wasn't an option I had seen as likely.

But still ultimately whether by force or by stealth we would be taking the information with out consent, it would be better to get what we need without endangering people and property.

Sorry gang, I'm really burned out from tax time and will be reducing the number of posts I do to one or two a day. Probably also a major reason for general grumpiness by me on several message boards too. Luckily, I'm playing City of Heroes to unwind, so am still in super duper hero mode

Calling all Raisa's... you playing CoH with me doesn't get you off posting!

 

[Elementor]

Raisa promises to make a post in the morning.

 

[Agamon]

And when you're done here, I'll direct you both over to my game, as well...

 

[Deva]

Don't be blaming me for not posting. Most of the time when I try to access the site it's incredibly slow and my post is lost, or I can't even get here.

So !!
