Chain of Command - Old Thread

[Jim Doe]

Yay! Now we can start, if everyone's ready. If so, there's just one last thing I need before I can make the first post . . . permission from Sir Kaotix to use Tamara, as I plan for said first post to be told from her perspective.

Oh, and send the pic to me via e-mail and I'll post it up for ya, Sir Airborn.

[Kaotix]

You have my permission, Jim. Just don't do anything off the wall with her.

*glares at John*

Hehehe. I can't wait to see how this goes. Two new unknown characters for everyone to work with and get to eat... err.. KNOW!

This is gonna be a blast.

[Jim Doe]

Thanks, man. And don't worry, I'll treat her like a lady and a gentleman. Or . . . er, well, you know what I mean.

Okay, folks, it turns out that we have a slight problem.

*also glares at Sir Roberts*

For those of you who haven't heard yet, it seems that good Sir John isn't going to be with us for several months starting sometime pretty soon. He says it's some sort of job-related thing, but we all know it's just because he's a damn dirty Aussie who has to screw everthing up as a matter of course. *shakes fist*

Now, the question is, do we actually start this here RPG and go on without him during that time, probably with one of us controlling his character in his abscense, or do we do the nice thing and wait for him to get back (assuming he doesn't decide to leave us for some sheep that he's decided to marry or something) before we go ahead?

I leave it up to you guys to decide what we should do.

[wildfire]

I suppose that would be on John himself. After all, it is his character. And if it were me, I would only place my character in the hands of a single person that I could trust not to go too far out of character. As for John, I can't say...

[chief]

Well... I'll do whatever the majority agrees on.

[Scott Reese]

I'm perfectly willing to wait on John; truth be told, that's what I'd prefer. I think it'd be best if we were all present and accounted for. But either way works for me.

[Kaotix]

I agree on waiting. It wouldn't be the same without John at the reigns of Carmen. No one else would be able to do her justice. And it wouldn't be the same without Carmen anyway.

I'm willing to wait for John.


He better love us for this.

[Jim Doe]

So, I guess we'll be waiting, then. Ah, well. There were plenty of times where we had to wait for folks (including me, that time I disappeared) during the last RPG, so it isn't something we're not used to, neh?

[John Roberts]

Ah, well thanks fellas. I apreciate this. To be truthful, I was hoping that you all would wait for me, I really enjoy this stuff. It's like a big warm family here, except I aint cuddling any of you bastards. And I wouldn't of felt right with leaving Carmen in anyone's hands. No offence intended fellas, but I look at my Carmen as a charcter that always needs to grow, emotionaly and thoughtfuly and no one but me can show her the path that I will pave out for her. Yes yes, I know how selfish and full of myself that sounds.

It'll only be from the 17th of this month to the middle of August. So..*counts fingers* ....three months I work that out as. Heyyy..look at that huh, I can count!

Actually Jimmy, if I remember correctly, we DIDN'T wait for you. We just went ahead without. Actually, I think I remember Kaotix's exact words about when we all asked about whether to contact you or not. "Nah, fuck him!"

You have my permission, Jim. Just don't do anything off the wall with her.

*glares at John*

Ahh...now now, you make it seem what I did to your Patches a BAD thing. I only played with her sexuality and broke her heart for the purpose of my own character and....wait, that does seem a bit rough. Well, at least I didn't kill her off like I was going to with my alternant ending I wrote up.

Thanks again you blokes, I look forward to getting this going when I return.

You make me cry. But, nah, y'all waited at least a day or two, I think.

[wildfire]

I got all kinds of OOC love too. My chara's temporary bout of insanity was a bit difficult to explain. I suppose I should've asked exactly where John was going with that one eh? Oh well, methinks Max'll hafta struggle with that a bit more this time. That and the whole bounty hunter thing. Come to think of it, I have an idea now that'll work pretty good.

[chief]

Middle of august... So basicly close to my Birthday. And Yeah, not like we arent use to waiting.

[John Roberts]

So out of interest, and also for lack of anything else to bloody do tonight, what's the posting order going to be?

[Kaotix]

We'll probably do like we did with the first. Let the introductory posts go in any order because we each have to get back "in character" with our characters and learn about the new characters being introduced.

Then we'll probably get a posting order when we get down to business.

[Jim Doe]

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm. I'll figure up an order after the first round.
