I ended up watching Gundam IBO again... and as I watched the ending, I kept thinking to myself, 'this is probably how Azi's previous thread's SHOULD have ended'.

Watching something like this makes me wonder if I should aim for a new character mould to achieve a character who can take this sort of sheer carnage, and still take the enemy down with them.

Hello, hopefully, I'll be able to post this, somehow, been trying past few days. I barely have internet passed lately, I'm guessing due to wildfires in my region. The sky is smoky, the air is smoky, everything smells smoky. The Interior of British Columbia is in a state of emergency, with a few towns and some rural homes being evacuated. So, due to connection problems, and the risk of fire and evacuation, I obviously can't RP at all for a while. I don't know how long the wildfires or poor internet connection will last, but in case I disappear, it means I have no internet.

Currently, I'm alright, there's nothing bad going on where I live, but the smoke does seem to make everything beyond a few miles invisible, enshrouded by smoke. On June 7, there were immense pillars of smoke rising behind mountains. Hopefully, I won't have to evacuate at all, but the wildfires are quite severe, and the region lacks firefighters. Large firefighting helicopters fly overhead several times a day, busy!

Just in case, I withdrew five hundred dollars, and put more gas in my car. Just in case local electricity or ATM fails, and so debit and credit cards won't work, I'll have more than enough cash to outlast any potential emergency.

Update: 96 fires in British Columbia so far. Sky and air rather smoky, but less than two days ago.

Internet seems rather good for now, I'll be rereading everything I missed, as I may not get another chance!

She knew she needed to get out of her and need a plan.

I jumped to the last post, and this little kicker jumped out at me. I laughed a little more than I should have. O_o

I have a REALLY bad habit for reading things out of context. O_o
XD this made me laugh, I never thought of it that way. But SHAME ON YOU, Annie isn't old enough for that humour! O:<

We are also waiting for Inferi to post, because he now is capable of saving everyone, if he makes a certain choice! This is to add tension and drama.

I can assure you, if your hopes of survival are on me you're gonna die.
Talk about team spirit.

How does one Imgur? =)

Pray tell me, good people.
Go on Imgur, find a picture you like, then click on it to enlarge it, and/or then Open in New Window/View Image. Then, copy-paste the link after the /. For example:

About Gundam IBO,
Why is it, that every time anime tries to be serious, I just chuckle at it? I'll skip a bit more. lmfao I'll have to watch this on mute. I couldn't finish this.
Anyways, I think I get the main gist. Fight to the end, right? While talking your head off? But ya, going through carnage and winning is impressive. Oddly enough, what I find odd about Gundam stuff, is that they fight without logic. I'd just blast a leg off, crippling the enemy, seeing as the joints in a leg would be the most vulnerable part of such a machine. Or indeed, shoot the fingers off.



Well, as an update, there are about 183 fires as of today. So far, Quesnel does not seem to be needing evacuation.

Hopefully, I won't see this where I live!

230 fires now.

Bullets and lasers aren't typically effective against gundam frames, I think there's a good clip of the Exia in Gundam 00 casually afking while the Americans unload volley after volley. Needless to say, they usually have passive defenses against mook weapons depending on the universe.

Plus, look at all the damage those spikes dealt - and the Gundam Frames were not only standing, but in fighting condition after taking direct hits. Do you think a well placed bullet could stop that?



But my main point was, for as dark as your settings maybe, nothing bad or tragic ever seems to happen to the player cast! I guess that goes for most threads, really.

I see, I think. Though, I though Gundans holding Gundam-weapons would destroy them at least gradually? I meant my post while operating a Gundam. The vid shows shields, but if a Gundam did not have a shield, was stationary, and I was also in a Gundam, my main target would be my opponent's mech's fingers and joints.

Though, considering the size of a Gundam, if you can build those, why not build a giant tank with Gundam-armour? A tank has no structural weakness in joints or limbs, and if it had multiple turrets, it'd be able to fire upon multiple targets, too, rather than focus on one. Though, a tank would require more than just one pilot.

Eh, my threads always smash through enemies.

They exist, and are called Mobile Armours. The Mobile Armours on Gundam IBO are particularly vicious - they're automated beam spammers with the ability to create maintenance bots, and are smart enough to be able to refuel their own power plant. Essentially, they're giant murderbots designed to wipe out entire civilian populations - and almost drove the human race extinct.

I think that’s the reason why AI or Drone Control is outlawed in that series, but that’s just speculation on my part.
