Anubis, I woulnd't mind either if you joined, but we'll have to wait until Kamasha (current RP-master) comes back for final words...

The parkade party could use some extra members, since quite a lot of them dissapeared...

Michelle intends to lead the party to the nearest mall, so that could be a nice introduction:
"Michelle runs from three zombies chasing her, and jumps into a dumpster to hide"
*Thud*
"OOOF, Whatcha think YOU're doing!" yelled the stranger on which she landed...
(just a possibility :) any other creative ideas?)

Anyone know what happened to kamasha??:confused:

no
i do know a small part of the plan thats all

Other Base
...
"that be the exSpetsnaz,have him locked up when we get there,
...
"you know who it is so i don't need to tell you Mr exSpetsnaz"said Rose


Romanov was suspicious upon hearing her, he shouldn't have stayed with the german guy, he ran out of the house without saying goodbye to anyone.

Well, so much for building party cohesion...
Isa, do you really want your conviently-powerfull NPC friends to arrest AK's character?
You're effectively hunting a partymember, isn't that a little against the "party-feeling"? Not to mention the bad vibes it gives out.. Aren't the last of us humans supposed to stick together?

By the way: Do I understand correctly you just walked happily into the armybase like a proverbial breeze, killed a few (or a few thousand, is there a way to tell the difference?) zombies without even paying attention, didn't encounter a single end-boss (which Kamasha said there would be, and they would be tough), and are now solving the complete and entire problem?

What happened to the rest of the party? Don't we get to play along?
What use is there for the rest of us if you get to go all I'm-a-super-soldier-and-I-don't-need-all-you-guys-cause-I-can-fix-everything-myself.

It kinda ruins the fun for us...

But never mind me, I'll just be sitting here, back at the house, trying to ROLEPLAY my character.
Maybe explore the psychological effect the destruction of the entire planet a little.
And why don't I have a little social interaction? A bit of character-development...
Hey, maybe I can even have meaningfull interaction with fellow players!

Sorry I can't be as powerfull as your all-powerfull uber-armour.
Sorry I can't just not-even-flinch at the destruction of my entire reality like your Elitely psychologically trained "emotions is for wussies" character
Sorry I can't just solve the entire plot-that-could-have-provided-excitement-for-all-of-us-for-months in three posts like your all-knowing character...
Oh, and I happen to enjoy a challenge, is that bad too?

Oh, and yes, I am being sarcastic here...

Just as for point #2, the war is over, you don't just go arresting enemy soldiers because they happen to be there, regardless of their rank. I think there's something in the Geneva conventions about that type of thing. And in Red Storm Rising, it WAS A REAL WAR. It wasn't some Vietnam/Korea/Iraq executive action bullshit where war was never declared, the president simply ordered the armed forces into those countries. So no, you wouldn't just arrest an ex-Spetsenaz, ESPECIALLY since he's an EX Spetsnaz officer. And more likely than not, a US Citizen, meaning you can't just arrest them on the grounds that they were an enemy soldier, UNLESS he participated in war crimes against humanity, in which case that's something completely different.

now that were i now all so know where my timing get's messed up by jumping back an thinking what i said

Quote TWP AK-108's people don't just leave unannounced when someone looks at them funny good point

i leave posting of Stone and Just do Rose when you talk to her

For some reason, it is the militarily orientated characters in a survival RP that go off on a tangent and die, normally because they think themselves a RAMBO and then encounter a boss on their lonesome... (this includes Romanov, though he could be an exception)

Yep, that busted up armor is going to be really useful when you'll actually need it...
(assuming the leg was fixed with the chest wound, you'll still have hand done patch jobs where the holes used to be, and those won't last...)

And I don't believe ICly or OOCly that the world would be taken over by zombies...

ICly because there are these frequent military band radios broadcasting that they aren't even aware of what exactly is going on down here, and that they have the infra to send helicopters...

EDIT yes healed up, still in pain, but the armour was made at lab along with all the top secret Gear he wearing as i said in the TG to the late OP

no boss as Stone and Rose will marry and have kid's later

add that they got to call DC that's more time and i'm making it Infantry with tank's so that more time

Never use the end of an unwritten story as a reason to keep someone alive.

In other words, no character is 'imortal' for OOC reasons, and can be killed at any moment, therefore, one must present the oprotunity for your character to die every so often.

(Getting stuck dangling over some zombies, getting some grenade shrapnel through the leg, mystery hand injury, self-destructive tendancies of human nature, reckless driving with non-restrained passengers, standing in the middle of the back yard alone...)

I deleted the running away stuff. And the FSM thingy.

i did that so you know i'm not going to pull out bigger thing's to mess with all of us

Isa, have you taken a look at all the other characters in this RP?

The most advanced weapon another character in this RP has ever used, was a scoped sniper riffle... A present-tech one at that.
The most "future"-tech thing in the rest of the RP is the recombinant HIV, and I can tell you that with current technology, that would be feasable or at least possible within the next 2 to 5 years.

Stone on the other hand, seems to be equiped in armour that the pentagon hopes of having somewhere near, lets say, 2030?
Jumping across streets in something that weighs about half a ton? The only current device that I know of that does that is either a 50ft tall medieval mangonel, or a cannon. Your armour resembles neither.

Not to mention the "Breaks every encryption on the fly" global radio, or the artifically intelligent PDA (current processor power for desktops allows an AI to play chess OR (barely) understand speech, and then it works slowly, so I don't think a PDA could do everything yours does as quickly as it does if it were present tech. (plan routes from aireal surveilance etc. Image recognition is HELL for computers, not even Google Earth tries to make maps from the pictures.)

Summarizing:
Every other character is playing present tech, present time, with the small exception of the mutated virus, but that is a plot device.
Stone is playing future-tech (at least a year or 20-25 from now)
I think that is one of the, if not the reason for current issues

all that was going to coverd by Kamasha, from what i was told all the Gear was been test way back, how long back i don't know
armour is base on one in a movie set in the 1950 here a link to it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin-roh

when did i say it planed all that stone can take one look at what it shows and make a plan route for himself

Best so far is either the French Fe'line (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9lin), or the American FFW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Force_Warrior)

Noticeable differance,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kerbesagarainyarmor.png
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:FELIN_501585_fh000035.jpg

Also, my understanding, is that the users of the Protect Gears do not get any form of power armor, they simply lug the extra mass and live with it, hence the reduced personal load (notice you hardly see them carry field packs of food or even spare ammo [and when they do, the packs are generally small], and the belt mounted pouches only held about 80 to 240 bullets ~500 if using a SMG...).

That's an anime. Animes do not necessarily reflect real life technology or feasible technology for the time period they're set. I don't care if it's set in the 1950's, personal armor like that was barely in the imaginations of authors like R.A. Heinlen, who wrote Starship Troopers in '59. The idea that you, in ~2007 A.D. has high tech full powered armor WITH equipment and seemingly limitless ammunition is beyond the scope of current technology, and most likely technology that could be created even in 10-15 years from now. And fine, Stone's intellect is so amazing that he can glance at the map and make his own route, but that ignores all the other points that have been brought up here. I, along with cornflakeistan and hurtful thoughts here find your whole character to be out of line with current technology.

i don't recall a date bring said by Kamasha and when i TG him he said it was ok with what i got, but now he not around no more you start to have a go
so with out Kamasha around and a plan to go on its dead

Not so much out of line as not believable.

The biggest irks I found were the nanites that could heal a near fatal injury in seconds, and the massive ammo suply when you have a guy with a broken leg, and everyone else experiances a massive ammo shortage...

And some other way could have been devised to span a city street rather than jumping... Such as using an extension ladder in a similar manner as the rooftop evacuation of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire, or a line and grapnel, and one really crazy/brave person to shimmy to the other roof and secure the rope for others...

It sort of ruins the flavor when someone has something that 9 times of 10, makes him immune to the problems faced by the others, and the other 1 of 10 is not considered on the grounds that your character must live.

The main plotline of Jin-Roh doesn't involve the armor, it involves the cunning inginuity and skills of the man that was inside, even without it and outnumbered and outgunned, he still managed to get the best of them, untrained civy in tow.

with you seeing the TGs you lot have on idea what he and i said the same going with the leaper thing's or ever they are call by AK
and why are you lot bring up some thing we are long past, we all but for stone in a dam house now
if Kamasha saw some thing worng with that post he whould have said but did he no
like i said it's dead

EDIT if i recall they add to the ones in side stone that he had at the start of story but was never said
HT i know your trying to help but i said armor not the movies story or plot

1- Yes, leapers are aren't exactly on the list of baddies...
2- Because, as unbelievable as your actions may be, the net resaults of those actions are feasable [though, not necessarily the events, or actions that are RPed]. It just leaves a sour taste, and hits the reader like a lemon wrapped around a brick, aimed at the brain...*

Or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, some people enjoy the extra drama introduced by a slightly imbellished storyline, much like the movie: Big Fish, where none of what the old man's stories state seem real, there was always a bit of truth behind it all, as revealed at the end.

4- We are waiting for daylight, or to decide which night shift gets the zed rush. Or, like some Romero movies, we can leave it open ended and completely uncertain, but perhaps on an uplifting note. So it might as well be unanimous in deciding whether or not to continue.

*Ironicly, that is the self same description of the unerverse's most popular fictional alchoholic beverage...

but as you pointed out he dont need to use he gun, so how many time has he use it not that dam much and he at the base he can top up

but i dont care no more i start to set up a way out and said you should talk to Rose in OOC and then in IC one point have her yell which if you heard that yell would make someone go see whats up which would let me start to lay the plot out for you
but no you go about if i did not ,then i do the Radio an one person gets it
