Mecha Crusade recruitment

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I was origanally angling for a commad possition, but it really doesn't matter to much. I really don't want to take the wing commander class and there is logic behind the metabot leader doing it. also if everyone ends up going for the metabot deal i have no problem joining in.

Sorry Sir Osis. Didn't mean to step on any toes, if you wanted to take the leadership role. Feel free to put a bid in and we as a group will decide, I guess.

Sorry Sir Osis. Didn't mean to step on any toes,

No need to apologise, you didn't step on my toes at all. I'm absolutely fine with however the group wants to do it.

Heya, if you want to go for the leadership position, that's fine; I didn't mean to step on any toes either... I just thought to follow Jarval's suggestion about the wing captain, someone who hasn't posted a character should make it so the others who had wouldn't have to re-do their characters. So if you want it, just say so; I might make a weapon specialist kindof character if ya do.

Thanks

Edit: I just thought of this: instead of my possible weapon specialist character, we could both be leaders! Read the post below for the details (I'll probably end up taking the Wing Captain class, but not necessarily be in charge of the entire wing per se)

 

[Mitchifer]

Now that I have my mecha up, perhaps Mirthcard and Mitchifer can go with the BE-82b "Bee" and WP-82c "Wasp." Our metabot could then be the HV-82d "Hive."

Seriously my mecha is all flight speed and one big ranged weapon, and Mirthcard's mecha for his shock trooper will most likely be melee based. Perhaps Mitchifer's mecha should be balanced between the two, with our metabot a balanced mecha as well.

Any other ideas?

Dude, that idea sounds really cool! So yeah, I can make more of a balanced mecha to be part of the meta-bot.

Oh, and one other idea. Since we have six, we could probably divide ourselves in into flights of three each, alpha and bravo flights. Garyh, Mirthcard, and I could make up one flight, considering that we make up a meta-bot, that would work out great. The other flight would compose of Sir Osis, BK, and GWolf. They could also do a meta-bot if they wanted (and we could have two), or they could have mechas that would do well for individual mission types. This way, we could have leaders for both alpha and bravo flights. I'm thinking that since I've been "nominated" (if that's the term I should use) for the meta-bot leader, I could be in charge of the flight with the "hive" meta-bot, while Sir Osis could be in charge of the other, and between one of us we could decide who's in charge of the entire wing.

Any thoughts on this idea? Thanks

It isn't really important, but normally this is how mechs in battletech were broken down on the unit levels...

A Star is your basic unit of mechs. This is 1-5 mechs, and they can be any size class.

A Binary is an army. A Binary has 2 stars.

A Trinary is a large army. A Trinary has 2 Stars.

There are larger formations... clusters and such... but flights are reserved for aerospace fighters. Any terminology is fine by me, and my memories could be incorrect, but I'm curious as to how you want units broken down.

Sounds like a great plan, Mitchifer!! I like it. And I'm glad you like the Swarm.

 

[Mirth]

I like the ideas, Mitchifier. Let me make sure I've got this right. Mitchifier, you're going to take the Wing Captain position, right? So I can go ahead and finish fleshing out my Tank, right? Unless I hear otherwise, that's what I'll assume I'm doing. I like the idea of my Shock Trooper being an NCO, too. Are we using Army, Navy or Marine rankings or something else altogether?

BTW, have you guys been keeping up with the other recruitment thread? I think creamsteak's out to kill us. We're toast, dude! Seven days? We're not gonna last seven hours, man!

And - O Black Kestrel, Where Art Thou?

There are a bunch of people jockeying to be a part of this game. If you want to secure your position, you had better post soon, methinks.

...Or Power Rangers...

"Make my monster grow!!"

Do I smell a sig line? Anyone?

 

[Uriel]

ACH!! NOW I find my Polyhedron 154
Dammit, and I could have been the Yellow Jacket, or the Dragonfly...or the Mantis...or the, oh well. I'll keep checking, you never know when someone will bite the big Las-Cannon Blast and you may need reinforcements.
