[QUOTE="Ringlerun, post: 5439551, member: 6668496"] I have left a few games but this is the most memorable. My brother and I were convinced by a friend to join in on a Robotech game. All was cool, we created characters and started the adventure. The GM put me and my brother in one Mech. No problem there as we both chose destroid pilots. He then says we are all part of a scout party patrolling the Zentraidi control zone. A few minutes into game and we stumble upon a crashed Zentraidi cruiser. As a group we decide to investigate. Splitting up into two teams we take a corridor each and start exploring. That was the last bit of decision making my brother and I did for the next 4 hours. The GM concentrated on the other group, who by shear luck must have taken the really interesting corridor to explore. A huge battle erupted between them and a Zentraidi in Female Power Armour. Time went by and i decide to query the GM on were our character are, have we reached the end of the corridor, can we join the combat?. The GM went into a little speech saying "A combat turn is 15seconds and it has only been a few minutes of game time since the combat started and No, we haven't finished exploring the corridor". Hours go buy and the combat is still going strong when it spills into the corridor that me and my brother still haven't finished exploring. Finally some action. Initiative is rolled and we win. We decide to launch a volley of missiles. I let my brother roll the to hit as I am piloting the Mech. He rolls a 1. The missiles go haywire, miss there target and hit an ammo storage area. The GM laughed triumphantly like he had planed the whole encounter from the start. The conclusion of 4 and a half hours of game play. Half a corridor searched. 2 dice rolls, my brother saying "oops" me replying "what?" and then we were vaporised. [/QUOTE]
