Tainted Heresy

[pevergreen]

Driving up to the Thunderhawk evacuation ship, Commissar Beefy popped out of his Leman Russ Tank and gave a shout to the Force Commander as he and his squad was getting off the tanks.

“Sir! Take the Relic and go! We shall hold off the daemons to give you time for extraction. Make no hesitation on calling the strike when you are back on the battle barge. Only the faithful shall win the day and we are honoured to have served the Emperor. Now Go! For the Emperor!”

Looking back at Commissar Beefy, Force Commander pever gave a salute while his men were unloading the relic and carrying it onto the Thunderhawk. He had worked with Imperial Guardsmen before, but this situation was different from the rest in that the teamwork between them was equal – usually only the space marines do most of the work. There was a general reliance on each other and these Guardsmen have shown their bravery to match those of his squad. Without the Commissar and his men, this mission could have turned out quite differently. The Force Commander gave a short but meaningful reply.

“It is my honour to have served for the Emperor beside you.”

Turning back to his squad, the Force Commander boarded the Thunderhawk, and it soared into the sky with orange heat waves from its boosters that scorched the ground. Without further time wasting, the Commissar ordered his tanks to sergeant Reenk’s position.

Welcome to Tainted Heresy, the follow up game to taka's great game, Tainted Evil.

This is another game in the same spirit, with a new storyline, new players and a new mechanics system.

Think of it like the Battle Royale games, if you didn't play the last one. You have what you have, you move around a grid based map, fighting other players and sending detailed orders in. If you can think of it and the people you represent can do it, it will be done. You will each have a number of specialsed objectives and a number of units to choose from.

The story will be done after sign-ups, as the story is going to depend on how many players.

The game should take up about 10 minutes of your time every few days. Less than a normal mafia game.

Expect the fighting to be bloodier, the killing funnier, the dead bodies larger (in amount) and there to be a free fresh light salad afterwards.

We await your...signature...

[White_eyes:D]

Pevegreen...do you hold a grudge from when I was whooping you with the Orks??:hide:

[Beefy187]

I would like to sign up as a reserve player :bow:
I don't think I got too much time to play :sweatdrop:

[pevergreen]

I'm the host now! No grudges.

You've always got enough time Beefy, I know you.

[White_eyes:D]

Well..why not? I enjoy these games, if it's everyone out for himself:yes: IN

[Beefy187]

I'm the host now! No grudges.

You've always got enough time Beefy, I know you.

Don't tempt me :sweatdrop:

Ok, IN if this starts next week.

[shlin28]

Sign me up. But I will be gone for a whole day on the 9th because I will be on a airplane :yes:

[atheotes]

never played this type of game before... so IN!

[Khazaar]

In to win...

[White_eyes:D]

It pays to send in your orders when the host asks, because your actions go in order on how you sent them...like...."I want to attack Beefy near pont N-3" but lets say your a minute later then Beefy and he already sent in his too.."Avoid combat while retreating to N-2" then he would getaway and even kill some of your unit...:sweatdrop:

Is that how it's going this time, pevergreen?:book:

Is that how it's going this time, pevergreen?:book:

No Beefy will not be attacked. Beefy is a leprechaun. He cannot be seen by those with murderous intent. Peace loving Beefy will not like it if he gets attacked.

Because of time zones, orders will happen at the same time, if you say go to A1, and a person in A1 goes to A2, you will see them or something like that, depending on location and speed etc.

[White_eyes:D]

It also really hurts, if your teammates go inactive....:sweatdrop:
My partners were Yoyoma and Ares...One didn't play for the start and was, WoT right away..:no:
The other turned into his own faction and nearly killed me:laugh4: I hope for better results this time:brood:

Edit: I had to take a nap and Reenk beat me because of 5 minutes last time....glad it was sorted out this time:bow:

[ULC]

Hmmm...why not? :clown:

[taka]

"Idleness leads to heresy" .... so lets keep busy :grin:

If it starts next week/ next next week, then I should be fully ok. might struggle a bit with limited internet for about the next 6-10 days tho

In For the Emperor!

[Askthepizzaguy]

..........................................in




Be gentle.

[FactionHeir]

:yes:

[Splitpersonality]

In in in in in in in in in!

Please :D

[A Very Super Market]

In.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

In. :yes:

[Chaotix]

I could join, but I won't be here for next week. If the game is starting after August 9, I'm here for sure- if not, it's up to your discretion whether you want to let an inactive player sit around and do nothing until then, pevergreen. I understand perfectly if you can't have me, in that case.

Whatever your decision, thanks!

[pevergreen]

You shall be in Chaotix.

pevergreen remembers GH being in the same position a while back. That was fun. :evilgrin:

I didn't expect this much of a response. I'll leave it for another 24 hours or so.

Every arc of the story has been added, bar one. If you guys want that, we need another 3 people at least.

[slashandburn]

I'm in but i dont know the rules :sweatdrop:

[pevergreen]

No one really does at this point. :laugh4:

[pevergreen]

The exterminatus had been called, the world was a lifeless husk. But so was the will of the emporer. Brother-Captain pevergreen of the Second Company of the Black Gryphons, a chapter of the Imperiums Space Marines, genetically enhanced super humans, stood upon the Battle-barge The fall of grace waiting on the astropath's instructions. The warp was a deadly place, but the only way to travel at great speed. They must go to the place they had never been before, Terra. The place so long forbidden to the Black Gryphons, the beacon of humanity, the only safe place for this relic. They must be rid of it, for they had their own troubles.

Troubles, which, as it seems, where about to be doubled.

"A distress call Brother-Captain!"
"What? Here? Impossible...the surrounding areas are uninhabited, only mining colonies."
"Its from the Dark Angels."
"Then we must go. Another company of space marines stands at the brink of destruction if they must call for aid, especially since this is the Dark Angels."

"Get the men ready. Get me a scan of the planet. I want to know who is on it. We have never passed through this sector before."

The scan of the planet showed the location of the distress call. It was coming for the outskirts of the mining colony. The area around included forests, a beach and another small city.

"What is this other city? Get me a reading on any life forms."

"Brother-Captain, it is the Tau. They must be trying to colonise this planet for their so called 'Greater good'. What are your orders?"

"Wipe out any threat to the Dark Angels, return here alive. For the Emperor!"

I shall randomise and send roles out soon.


Current progress:

4 role PM's are out.


Format is the same, you get a choice of a few squads, but this time, more customisation.

[pevergreen]

Also, if anyone can like...make a map, that would be really helpful :laugh4: PM me if you can help out.

5 PM's left.

2 left now.

[pevergreen]

All roles have been sent out, now I need responses.

And a map. :sweatdrop:

[shlin28]

How should we respond if we don't have a map? :sweatdrop:

[pevergreen]

Responses for choices.

And I need a map and I can't do aaanything. Im terrible with graphics.

[Chaotix]

Hrmm.... perhaps if anyone had the game Spore, they could find a suitable planet in the space stage, zoom in just enough to get an overhead view of a region, and then take a screenshot? Then it could be grid-ified...

I would do it myself, but I don't have access to my Spore game right now. The idea just popped into my head... we could just try google maps, and search for some place in Australia or New Zealand, too.

[pevergreen]

Hmm, maybe.

I'll try googe mapping it.

Edit: If someone could grid this map:
https://img44.imageshack.us/img44/5171/maprra.jpg

I think about 20x20 squares should fit ok. or 15x15. Whoever does it can choose. :laugh4:

I'd do it myself, but hard to get even distances with paint...

[pevergreen]

The day dawns.

The Imperial Guard regiment and the Dark Angels stand firm. They had repelled the Tau attacks, the distress call was out, all they could hope was that someone would respond before they lost the West side of the Island as well.

The Tau had retreated back to the planetary camp on the Eastern side of the island. As the Etheral looked up, he saw a number of drop pods land to the North and South.

It was dawn, yet for a brief moment, the sky was black...

[Khazaar]

Here´s my attempt at a grid:

https://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1215/gridmap.jpg (https://img193.imageshack.us/i/gridmap.jpg/)

[Khazaar]

Probably should have put numbers in that, doh...

[shlin28]

Dang... the map isn't displaying for me, must be the censors... Is it possible for the gridded version to be sent to my email at shlin28@gmail.com? :sweatdrop:

[Khazaar]

It doesnt have the hexgrid numbers, better wait for peev to add those.....

[FactionHeir]

Dang... the map isn't displaying for me, must be the censors... Is it possible for the gridded version to be sent to my email at shlin28@gmail.com? :sweatdrop:

One sec, signing you up for your favorite goodies, we are certain you want to know all about our latest offers, right? :clown:

Looks like a good grid Khazaar, whats the difference between black and white though?

[Khazaar]

They´re just for optical reference, it´s easier to find the correct gridnumber with alternating colours...

and I couldn´t change it :sweatdrop:

[slashandburn]

How did you make the grid?

[pevergreen]

Excellent!

https://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1215/gridmap.jpg

Thank you! We have our map.

I believe I am waiting on:

taka
FactionHeir
White Eyes
atheotes

I'll start after getting the infomation off them.

Starting locations are confirmed, you'll get movement details when you get told where you are.

The starting time is still the day with the crappy story piece above.


General infomation:

There will be no restricted zones.
A unit is either dead or alive, at this stage, no units have more than one wound.
Many units have special rules which I have not mentioned.
The combat system is mine and mine alone :laugh4:
Detailed writeups will help, but cunning battle plans that are pages long will not. If a guy needs to stand still to fire his massive rocket launcher, he will, that may mean that he is killed.

By default I will take your orders to the letter (Unless you make your intentions clear enough if they are vague, ie. Kill anything thats human, but if it looks strong run) will do better than a map system etc. (Mainly aimed at Battle Royale players, I hated getting disadvantaged because I didnt do page long instructions)

If you wish, let me know and I'll help out where your instructions aren't clear, but I would do what your unit would do in the situation, which may be charge right into that big machine of death...

Not everyone can ally with everyone, but sometimes interests do align. Watch your back.

[shlin28]

Anyone willing to send the map to my email or attaching the image to a post/PM?

Pretty please? :sweatdrop:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm on it.

[shlin28]

W00t! Thanks! :yes:

To pever:

By default I will take your orders to the letter (Unless you make your intentions clear enough if they are vague, ie. Kill anything thats human, but if it looks strong run) will do better than a map system etc. (Mainly aimed at Battle Royale players, I hated getting disadvantaged because I didnt do page long instructions)What do you mean by "Map System"? Does it mean using the terrain is not allowed?

Also, in my defence, the longest order I ever wrote was only 2 pages.

Honest.

[FactionHeir]

only...

[slashandburn]

Is the game going to start soon?:beam:

[pevergreen]

Yes, I think I'm still waiting on one or two. Hard to check, stuff at home, I'm at work.

You can use terrain, but don't be a massive write-upper.

[Splitpersonality]

I am going to write essays at you pever, I hope you know that :P

[pevergreen]

"Splitpersonality sits down and does nothing at all for the next 3 days"

[Splitpersonality]

Pretty much :P

[taka]

so... anyone willing to spill their blood for the blood god? :grin:

[ULC]

so... anyone willing to spill their blood for the blood god? :grin:

BLOOD FOOOR THEEE BLOOOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!!

[pevergreen]

You know the only race's Ive annouced are Tau, Dark Angels, the Black Gryphons and hints of something else.

[slashandburn]

Excellent can't wait for this and capo to start. :wall:

[taka]

I have a feeling that those smelly tyranids are in this too...

[pevergreen]

Good news: I should be sending you starting positions and so forth in the next hour or so, bombarded by work right now.
Bad news: I'm pretty sure everyone bar FactionHeir has their units completely done, and hes only one reply (I had to clarify a lot to him, bad PM writing skillz) from being finished.

If you have questions about the game that you need answered quickly, use Windows Live Messenger/MSN, pevergreen@pevergreen.com

Always the fastest way to contact me, if I'm offline there, I'm not at a computer, just leave a message. Emails and PMs arent as frequently checked.

[pevergreen]

Starting locations are out.

Everyone can move ONE square, in any direction (including diagonal).

In terms of timing, orders will happen at the same time, but, for example:

Person A is in a forest, walking to square outside forest, person B is outside, walking in. Person B would get to the forest edge quicker. Same for going up or down a hill. Not everyone moves the same speed though, just the same distance at this point.

Turn 1 has begun. The battle for the planet has begun.

Good luck to everyone, orders are due in approximately 30 hours.

[Khazaar]

"Kill the alien, burn the heretic, purge the mutant!"

[FactionHeir]

So uh that makes you what exactly?

[pevergreen]

To those not familar with the 40k universe, some quotes:
"While vile mutants still draw breath, there can be no peace. While obscene heretics hearts still beat, there can be no respite. While faithless traitors still live, there can be no forgiveness."
Silver Skulls space marine Chapter.

"Give me a hundred space marines. Or failing that, give me a thousand other troops." Rogal Dorn, primarch of the Imperial Fists.

A chant of the space marines:

"With the bolter, cleanse the unclean.
With the flamer, purify the unholy.
With the chainsword, purge the corrupt.
With the missile, kill the impure."

"The Space Marines fear no Evil for we are Fear Incarnate!"

The enemies of the Emperor fear many things. They fear discovery, defeat, despair and death. Yet there is one thing they fear above all others. They fear the wrath of the Space Marines!

[pevergreen]

lets say around 4 hours to go for orders. I've got 9 orders so far.

[Khazaar]

Umm, shooty shooty? Maybe we should play the claim game or setup a battlearena in the center of the island, since currently I don´t have much to do...

[pevergreen]

:laugh4:

Don't worry, just like taka's game, losing your current squad means getting something more powerful...Don't be too eager though, its like having lives, if you waste the early ones getting to the powerful ones...well...

Movement will increase later as well.

PM's are out, if you sent one, you get one back. And then one other person got one as well.

Turn 2 Orders due in 23.5 hours.

General Infomation:
Drop pods were reported to the north and south areas. The centre of the map has had some weird things falling from the sky. No one could identify them.

[taka]

i think khazaar's offering his blood for the blood god :mellow:

[Khazaar]

"Clense the heretic!" I think we need to have a little chat you and my guns ^^.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Wow, Never realized how complicated the universe of Warhammer 40K was. Almost tempts me enough I want to start playing :laugh4:, interesting stuff.

Now who knows where those blasted Necrons are? :inquisitive:
We warned you of the price of your actions, now you must pay it in full - in blood. thats right, bone chilling. :laugh4:

[Khazaar]

Necrons are there too? There´s going to be some bone bashing...
How about Orcs, who claims Orcs?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Yes, you fools are trying to colonize a Necron Tomb world. I need to take them out, and I am willing to accept any help I can get. I want to talk with the Tau (whoever is playing them)

[Khazaar]

Ahh, the plot thickens...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Interesting, because I might be willing to assist you, CDF. I am also curious about the Tau.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I am sure that it is a lot thicker than even this. We will just not know it for quite a while. There are plots within plots, But I am sure that the Imperium would not be unable to understand the intricacy of that would they?


Interesting, because I might be willing to assist you, CDF. I am also curious about the Tau.
(wow did not see this)

Yes, from what I have heard the Tau are far less xenophobic then the Imperium, and so I want them to know I will help them if they help us.

As for Imperials, I am willing to talk things out with you, but I do not expect much.

[White_eyes:D]

Burn, Cleanse, Kill...:smg:

I well be honest...my side won't let me not kill anyone...even my fellow Marines might want to run:2thumbsup:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Burn, Cleanse, Kill...:smg:

I well be honest...my side won't let me not kill anyone...even my fellow Marines might want to run:2thumbsup:

Maybe that should have been your little secret? :inquisitive:

[Khazaar]

White Eyes I hope you´re not claiming to be me. Anyway, I´m willing to temporarily leave old hostilities behind me if we need to fight a greater evil. Say your peace and be judged...

[White_eyes:D]

Think of it like the Battle Royale games, if you didn't play the last one. You have what you have, you move around a grid based map, fighting other players and sending detailed orders in. If you can think of it and the people you represent can do it, it will be done. You will each have a number of specialsed objectives and a number of units to choose from.I am sure you all had the same Role PM sent to you....It warns against Alliances...I am just warning everyone, in case I suddenly must stab you in the back:laugh4:

Edit: Just found this...
Not everyone can ally with everyone, but sometimes interests do align. Watch your back.

Edit2: I am not as Xenophobic as I thought....but still I warn you guys anyway...are the Necros really here??:inquisitive:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Exactly, quite a few of us must have objectives that at least slightly line up. If alliances will help me find (and kill) the Necrons then that is what I shall do.

[White_eyes:D]

To be honest I missed my first orders:laugh4:
I have no idea where they might be....but if I see them I will let them come for you.....:2thumbsup:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

gee thanks...... :furious3: Lets hope we don't run into each other, white eyes, you are starting to get on my bad side. :laugh4::laugh4:

[White_eyes:D]

Why?? are you Marines or Tau?? I don't know about Marines....but Tau are my enemy's most likely, Marines are my allies....for now:shrug:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Neither, I am of the ancient Eldar race. I am C'drfan, from the craftworld of Alaitoc here to eliminate some Necrons. :bow: At your service, pawn of the Imperium. (basically I am space elves.)

To think that the only people with interest in this planet is the Tau and Imperium is surely just a greater sign of your own arrogance
(roleplaying FTW!!!!!!!!! And yes this is how I am going to act the ENTIRE game. )

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm always willing to make allegiances, when they are mutually beneficial. My troops aren't ordered to fire first, so as long as you make your identity and intentions clear, you won't be fired upon.

If people start abusing this trust, my policies will change.

[White_eyes:D]

Same here...I am mostly going to hide, unless provoked:bow:
I made my guys mostly the type, you don't want to get upset if you can help it..:wink:
And just to be clear about who I am...I am the Imperial guard:2thumbsup:

[Splitpersonality]

I also will not fire first on anyone, if I do then something is quite wrong.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Burn, Cleanse, Kill...:smg:

I well be honest...my side won't let me not kill anyone...even my fellow Marines might want to run:2thumbsup:

:inquisitive: This does not sound like the Imperial guard......


Anyway, I probably won't be the one to start shooting if it happens. Although it will surely depend on the situations.

[White_eyes:D]

:inquisitive: This does not sound like the Imperial guard.....I know....I was thinking of something else at the time..it's not my fault I don't know much about Warhammer beyond the game:hide:

[Beefy187]

Why?? are you Marines or Tau?? I don't know about Marines....but Tau are my enemy's most likely, Marines are my allies....for now:shrug:

Tau is no ones enemy. Tau is just fighting for the Greater Good :beam:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

:laugh4: Don't worry neither do I. I just compulsively read Wikis :laugh4:

[White_eyes:D]

When I played "Dark Crusade" and was fighting the Imperial Guard's homeland as the Tau...didn't the Imperial Leader say "He will fight the Xenos to the last man??":inquisitive: Same thing with the Marines..:yes:

Edit:Watch this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYAjyJvPFfI&feature=related) and see if that is the So-called "Greater Good":inquisitive:

[pevergreen]

Any Dawn of War games are not true to the universe. Blood Angels have the gene seed of the Thousand Sons, a Chaos Chapter...yet they are let to live.

If you're going to roleplay Eldar, do it correctly. The Mon-keigh are inferior. You would rather sacrifice ten thousand imperial lives to save 10 eldar lives. They do not understand the threat of necrons etc etc they are useless.

Basically you are all powerful. Or so you think.

Cause, you know, you guys created a Chaos god. Good work. :laugh4:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

OK then thank you, I honestly have no Idea who the Eldar are..... Better start being completely self assured then :yes: :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4: I was just going to act arrogant and condescending to everyone else.


Low blow. Everyone makes mistakes and all that...... Wait, that means I am not all powerful...... SILENCE!!!!!!

[pevergreen]

Its kind of weird. Each Eldar is good at what they do, and nothing else.

So you have the best troops in nearly every case, but not enough of them. Or at the same time.

[White_eyes:D]

I am afraid you won't see me reading any books....so the game is all I am going off:yes:

[pevergreen]

I am afraid you won't see me reading any books....so the game is all I am going off:yes:

I havent read any books either. Thats a bit too nerdy for me.

9 and a half hours to go for orders. Probably got about half.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

After hearing all of this I almost tempted to snoop around for some books about it..... (probably not, but you never know)

:tongue: Space elves. Awesome. :laugh4::laugh4:

[White_eyes:D]

I am sorry....but other then the books and games....what else is there??:book:

[pevergreen]

The actual game?

Warhammer 40 000, the table top game, with the minitures and stuff.

Look, space marines:

http://www.critical-hits.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/space-marine-command-squad.gif

Tau:

http://kofler.dot.at/40k/units/Tau_Fire_Warriors.gif

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Its a franchise, what more does there need to be????

edit: bet its a pretty expensive hobby :tongue:

[White_eyes:D]

Board games are dated...sort of like D&D..I could never get into those...:hide:

[Splitpersonality]

Warhammer 40k tabletop is :daisy:ing expensive,


but it's worth it for the level of customization you can do. You can even paint your own little pieces! :D


I've always wanted to get into WH and D&D but I have NO friends around here that play it, and DnD canceled their online service they were going to hold, because they are stupid!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

:laugh4::laugh4: Ugghhhhh I would never be able to do that, I am a horrible painter..... I play DnD with friends, and that is good enough for me. :yes:, Although the direction DnD is going I don't plan on following (mostly because the Books are so darn expensive)

[taka]

if you're looking for books, read Eisenhorn, its frickin amazing. I started with the DoW games series and then got into the books, eisenhorn will deffinately get you wanting to read more. then see if u can grab Ravenor aswell which is kinda like a sequel but not to eisenhorn. heard that its just as good as Eisenhorn. Should be picking mine up this week or something.

So, since everyone is talking about necrons, i assume that the black things in the middle are them then

[pevergreen]

Tabletop is expensive...if you don't go to the right places.

Land Raider here: $96
Contact I have: $40

Space Marine Commander here: $31
From him: $15

Let me know if you want some stuff, he'll ship direct to you etc.

D&D is fun, but sometimes the players let you down. However, theres always DDO. Free to play soon. Fun game.

Let me know if you play Dawn of War 2.

yeah, thats an expensive hobby! :laugh4::laugh4:
Now, what is this about a black spot?

[White_eyes:D]

Is it the Monolith?? I may need to scout it out first...then..:rifle:

Edit:I am not doing it for the Xenos either...but for the Emperor:yes:

[shlin28]

Unlike the others, I am nerdy enough to read the books... FEAR MY KNOWLEDGE! FEAR IT!!!

As for the Necron situation, I am willing to ally with others, whether human or xenos, to destroy the Necron threat... I trust everyone knows the best way to deal with the threat?

...

*sigh*

:clown:

[ULC]

Now, if I were an Imperial Guard regiment, some Basilisk would be in order. If I had an orbital defense platform, however, I'd just turn it on the planet and burn the whole island till it sank beneath the waves, beneath the crust, into the mantle, through the outer core, into the inner core, and then the reverse process out the other side - That's when I would say "Okay, I am now positive, about 95% sure, the Necron's are gone, but if anyone wants, we can do it again to be 99% sure."

[White_eyes:D]

I am afraid this is not like taka's game...I do get some rather nice tricks though:2thumbsup:
But I am getting the feeling we should take out the Necron threat...If the Monolith becomes fully active, I hate to see what damage it would do....:help:

[pevergreen]

Who said there are necrons.

And even if there are, who said the monolith is here?

[Khazaar]

YOU SAID IT ...with your eyes.:inquisitive: Or not. Anyway don´t bash D&D, I´ve played it for ages but my group dissolved because we turned into powergaming killerjunkies.:sweatdrop:

[Beefy187]

When I played "Dark Crusade" and was fighting the Imperial Guard's homeland as the Tau...didn't the Imperial Leader say "He will fight the Xenos to the last man??":inquisitive: Same thing with the Marines..:yes:

Edit:Watch this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYAjyJvPFfI&feature=related) and see if that is the So-called "Greater Good":inquisitive:

GREATER GOOD!! :balloon2:

[pevergreen]

Its all the manner of perspective.

Turn two has been completed, all PMs are out. Let me know if I screwed anything up.


23 hours to get orders in people. Turn 3 now. :yes:


Oh: General Events:

Sounds of combat come from the south west.

[Khazaar]

Action, wait for me, I´m comming (albeit very slowly). Don´t have all the fun without me...

[pevergreen]

I have to say, I had much more fun writing up Khazaar's actions than the battle scene (warning: my writing is terrible, so dont really expect a battle scene, just results pretty much)

[White_eyes:D]

My guess is it's the Orks that are fighting....:juggle2:

So Necros are not here??:inquisitive: If so, then no reason to hold back on the "Kill Xenos" checklist:yes::yes:

[atheotes]

so who is fighting who? anyone care to admit and possible get support?

[Splitpersonality]

Southwest, that would be the chaos marines fighting.

[taka]

Southwest, that would be the chaos marines fighting.

hm... and how did you know that? :inquisitive: are you one of the chaos that were fighting?

[Splitpersonality]

I'm not so stupid as to come out swinging at everyone, I am simply watching.

[pevergreen]

Turn 3 is over, PM's have been sent.

It is now Turn 4.

Orders due in 26 hours from now.

Events: None.

People with their not sending orders in. Gah.

[taka]

come on people! send in your orders or else it's a real killer to the game and the host's morale.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm entirely incompetent at this game and I still send my orders in!

[pevergreen]

You did?

:sweatdrop:

You sent orders in for every turn but this one.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm entirely incompetent at this game and I still send my orders in some of the time!

[pevergreen]

I'm entirely incompetent at this game and I still send my orders in some of the time!

Thats the American way! :yes:

I would insert a patriotic guy, but I can't be bothered to find one.

[atheotes]

I'm entirely incompetent at this game and I still send my orders in!

Dont worry, you will still be ahead of me in the game. :laugh4:


Edit: I did not read the following posts when i posted this :laugh4:

[White_eyes:D]

I'm entirely incompetent at this game and I still send my orders in some of the time!
I still send in mine (even though it is too simple:shame:)...I ran across Khaazered...please don't shoot, I have cookies:clown:..:sweatdrop:

Edit:He was acting kinda crazy....but I would not mess with him if you can help it:yes:

[Khazaar]

My troops are just bored, and you know what happens if elite troops run around too long without a mission they start a revolt or take over a country and other fun stuff. Anyway, I´m like totally cool (if you´re human that is), my troops are currently looking for a good surf spot to get some R&R from doing a lot of marching...

[White_eyes:D]

Wow....all I am doing is marching:laugh4: you better watch out though...my guys spotted you before they were armed and ready..had I charged you, I would have wiped out half you squad before you knew what hit you..(None of my guys are cloaked either:laugh4:)

It's a very good thing I kept my guys on "Hold fire, unless hostile":dizzy2:

Edit: I would watch out for the Elder and Tau...:bow:

Edit2: because all I am using is forest cover...they are using warp technology?? to hide...:hide:

[Splitpersonality]

Totally forgot about phase 3, darnit.

[pevergreen]

Chaotix has sent no orders in and has not read the starting PM.

Someone want to replace him?

[Splitpersonality]

CHaotix is on vacation atm, he left right as my mafia gear solid ended.

[taka]

he did say before the game started that he would be away for a week, but you told him to join anyway :P

maybe you want to give his role to someone in the same faction as him for now until he comes back and joins us?

[pevergreen]

he did say before the game started that he would be away for a week, but you told him to join anyway :P

:sweatdrop:

Oh yeah.

I forgot.

Thats ok then :grin2:

[pevergreen]

Give it another 12 hours, im too out of it now.

[pevergreen]

Turn 4 completed.

It is now turn 5 :yes:

Orders in 26 hours please.

Events:

None really. Nothing that everyone can see or hear.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Uggggghhhhhh....... Sorry I missed everything. Was in New York City, had no computer, just got back. will be active mostly...... (I am leaving on the ninth until the 15)

[pevergreen]

You'll be right, just you may die. :laugh4:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I think NOT!!!!! :whip: I will live!

[slashandburn]

Life is overrated, come closer and we'll show you. :laugh4:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

HAH! NECRONS!!!!!!!!!! DIE SCUM! :rifle:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I've noticed some Kroot being followed by some humanoids. Anyone know anything about this?

[White_eyes:D]

All I know is....I really am starting to hate campers:beam:

[slashandburn]

No, I'm not the necrons. However you might want to run away from your current location, If you know what's good for you..... :evilgrin:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

ah so you are the fools near the pillars. Good to know. :beam:

[shlin28]

I've noticed some Kroot being followed by some humanoids. Anyone know anything about this?

That would be the Tau, I think.

[pevergreen]

Hey guys sorry about the delays, it will be back to normal during the week...give me a few more hours.

To say something came up would be an understatement.

edit: All done. Turn 5 over, Turn 6 due in 25 hours.

[Splitpersonality]

Hey, hey you guys over at Q11.

Watcha doin' guys?


Hey, hey, hey space marines, why aren't you fighting? Cowards, need to fight more.

[White_eyes:D]

??? I guess you found atheotes.....:juggle2:

[taka]

guess spilt is Eldar with fleet of foot, or a variation of marines with jump packs.

[Chaotix]

I'm back, and ready to smash things now!

:smash:

[atheotes]

??? I guess you found atheotes.....:juggle2:

I dont think i can be at 2 places at once :laugh4:

[White_eyes:D]

Oh...I see....who the heck is he talking about then??:dizzy2:

[Khazaar]

Fellow humans, follow your mission objectives. Don´t let the bloodlust overcome you, we´ll kill the aliens and heathens soon enough.

[pevergreen]

Note:

Revealed by the story there are at least 3 forces on the island (obviously more)

Dark Angels Space Marines
Black Gryphons Space Marines
Tau

[ULC]

Hmmm...Space Marines, sound out!

[pevergreen]

PM's are out, turn 5 is over, turn 6 now!

I think its turn 6. I'm confused. :laugh4:

Let me know if you didnt get a PM and you should have, I've had a mess of PMs lately.

[atheotes]

crap :wall: i forgot to send in my orders...

[pevergreen]

Turn 6 over!

Turn 7 due in 23 hours.

Sounds of weapons firing is head from the north.

[FactionHeir]

How about some feedback?

[pevergreen]

How about sending in orders? :grin2:

I don't send stuff if you don't send in orders.

A few players just say that they will sit in the same square. thats enough for me to give them what they can see/hear/smell.

[FactionHeir]

I sent you orders for this phase....

[pevergreen]

Then you should have said something like that.

[FactionHeir]

I did in the thread after you announced the phase was over....

[pevergreen]

You said how about a little feedback.

That doesnt mean "I sent orders in, where is my PM"







Results.
orders
Results.

:gah2: sorry forgot to send you stuff, was spammed by Seamus asking me to take over in Capo and this one got buried!

Meant to [forgot to send orders in].

Take over in Capo?

Yea, someone dropped out and SF begged me to take their role


That was sent to me. The last PM I got from you. nowhere does it say that you are planning to do anything.

[FactionHeir]

The "forgot to send orders in" part that you blanked out were meant to be the orders for this turn....

[pevergreen]

...

Are you saying if someone is talking about forgetting to send orders in then says what they meant to do, that they are automatically submitting them as their next orders without saying anything to support that?

You know better than that FH. As we say at work, the first rule: Customers are stupid.

[FactionHeir]

Ah, but don't forget the customer is also King. :wink:

[Khazaar]

Can i just state here that Necrons are overpowered. Powergamer! Powergamer! Powergamer!

There, that should have done it...

[taka]

i guess we jsut need to type some cheats in for God mode or something :grin:

[White_eyes:D]

Yep....Necrons are whooping us, quiet badly....and there is JUST ONE Squad:brood:...we even ambushed them:wall:

[FactionHeir]

Who is we

[Splitpersonality]

Indeed, who is this we. Maybe my squad can lend some assistance?


Oh, and who is in south in or around the M line on the grid?

[White_eyes:D]

:sweatdrop: that would be most of the Space Marines....or what is left of us:no:

:daisy: Nercons...they resurrected most of there troops....we can't:furious3:

[Language please - GH]

[atheotes]

Indeed, who is this we. Maybe my squad can lend some assistance?


Oh, and who is in south in or around the M line on the grid?

i am somewhere around there...:juggle2:

[FactionHeir]

Whats good against Necrons?

[White_eyes:D]

An orbital Bombardment might do the trick:juggle2:

Other wise we are going to fall back before we join the Nercons:sweatdrop:

[Splitpersonality]

Let me do some research into the 40k lore, hold your position for now, do not, I reinsist, do not advance, and possibly I can help you out.


If our enemy appears to be mutual I shall assist.

[White_eyes:D]

I am a little concerned that if we wipe them out (Unlikely, as we have suffered 40% of units lost and the Necrons suffered 40% but resurrected about half) They will come back as something way more powerful:sweatdrop:

[FactionHeir]

That's what happens to all of us though until we run out of troops.

[Splitpersonality]

Yes, apparently there are tiers of troops, and when your current squad is gone you gain some a bit more powerful.

But we were also warned that losing the troops too quickly would be bad for us.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm really close to both the Tau and the Tau camp. I've been moving towards the camp this entire time. I've noticed there are some other players running around near me.

Anyone want to make diplomatic contact, or do I need to run away from here while shooting as much ammo as possible?

[Splitpersonality]

First off, where is the Tau camp?

I know where "a human" camp is, but it's not specified, I don't know the exact coordinates but rather the general direction from me.

[FactionHeir]

Camps, there are camps?

[Splitpersonality]

Apparently, while scouting out the area from my location I was notified I could see a "Human camp, but it is too far away to make out the specifics."


I don't believe I have a camp though :(

[atheotes]

i think, if you dont make a movement during the phase, you are camping at the spot....

[Splitpersonality]

I don't believe so.

It was described as more of a "base" than a camp with like tents.

because I've yet to see another camp, and people are ALL around me.

[atheotes]

hmm...interesting...
I would give more information...but i am not sure who is on who' side :sad:

[taka]

going from the Blood Raven's novel, the necrons are weak to the warp powers, so any eldars out there should be attacking the necron (especially if anyone has warlocks and has a farseer. Grey knights Space Marines and other psykers should do well also). the other thing necrons are weak against is orbital bombardment. but obviously we'd all die if that happened :laugh4:

[Khazaar]

" We shall not falter in the face of defeat! These abominations have to be destroyed! If this is our final hour, let us die with honour. We shall grind their bones to dust and pay the price in blood. Death! Death! Death!"

"For the Emperor!"

[White_eyes:D]

"For the Emperor"

[Beefy187]

First off, where is the Tau camp?

I know where "a human" camp is, but it's not specified, I don't know the exact coordinates but rather the general direction from me.

In hell :beam:

[pevergreen]

Alright, sorry about that delay.

Results are out.

Sounds of death come from the south east.
Unholy blasts and scared humans from the central mid-north.

So that means its about turn 7?

Orders due in 25 hours anyway.

[Beefy187]

I hate you space marines :wall:

You meanies :smash:

[atheotes]

Why did the space marines attack you? could it be because you are one of the enemies? :laugh4:

[Splitpersonality]

I spy with my little eye, some dead Tau at Q13.

:smash: Oorah space marines.

[shlin28]

The Emperor guides my blades, for I am the Watcher of Death.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I went all this way to get to the Tau camp, and I guess the Tau ran off or something.

Does anyone want me to follow them, like for mutual protection or something? Or should I just hide somewhere, camp out, and shoot anything that comes near me until we're all dead?

[pevergreen]

Everyone needs to take a close look at their objectives.

[Beefy187]

This is no longer Tainted Heresy... Its Tau vs everyone else :wall:

Thats it.. Catch me if you can :smash:

[Splitpersonality]

Come join me at M13 and we can discuss peacefully :smash:

[Beefy187]

Come join me at M13 and we can discuss peacefully :smash:

I'll think about it if you come over to my place.

I'm heading.... West :juggle2:

[Chaotix]

Can someone give me their location? I'm looking for somebody to smash.

:clown:

[Splitpersonality]

What kinda smashing are you doing?

Me and my boys will mess you up.

[Chaotix]

Heh.. from the looks of it, you're on your last legs, and I haven't even seen combat yet. I doubt you could do much "messing up" to a full squadron... especially if they are all on average around 8 feet tall.

:evil:

[Splitpersonality]

Last legs? I've not seen combat either, what're you talking about!

[A Very Super Market]

I haven't even posted in this thread for a while.

[pevergreen]

You havent given orders for a while (in time, in turns, you're fine.)

Lemme send an update.

[Chaotix]

Last legs? I've not seen combat either, what're you talking about!

Ah, well it seemed like the Space Marines were complaining about having their :daisy:'s kicked by the Tau, so I assumed that included you. Nevertheless, I will still smash you if you ask nicely.

[Askthepizzaguy]

No one likes me... no one wants to be my ally.

That's fine... I'll just find a quiet spot and wait for you all to kill each other.

[Khazaar]

Dudes if you think you have to or want to kill Necrons, they are roughly in the center of the map. I failed and my team was pretty good. You need some sort of special weapon or they will just respawn and kill you, feel free to have a go at them.

[Splitpersonality]

Ah, well it seemed like the Space Marines were complaining about having their :daisy:'s kicked by the Tau, so I assumed that included you. Nevertheless, I will still smash you if you ask nicely.



Ahm nawt one of dem humes, me an my boyz are much betta'



:whip:

[Chaotix]

Aw, naw way! Youz iz an orc too? We should be smashin' dem humies up together! :smash:

[Splitpersonality]

:smash:

Sweet!

[pevergreen]

looks at victory conditions.

facepalms

[Splitpersonality]

Hrm? You gotta' kill da' orkz?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Ok, back!


:beam: I see you all found the Necrons. Mind telling me there position?

[FactionHeir]

Is it just me or has pever not done anything in the last few days.

[Khazaar]

The necrons were in M8 L8 roughly...

[pevergreen]

Is it just me or has pever not done anything in the last few days.

:sweatdrop:

[taka]

we still need blood for the blood gods - skulls for the skull throne!

[pevergreen]

You will, you will.

Once I'm home from work.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. You should be glad.

:smitten:

[pevergreen]

They're coming guys, just dealing with something, then gotta write them. Should be out within 30.

[pevergreen]

Results are out, let me know if you should have gotten something and you didnt.

lets say 24 hours for orders.

[shlin28]

The vile Xenos shall be cleansed...

[Splitpersonality]

Whomever shot me, shall be purged of this earth

[ULC]

Seriously? I charged them? Pever, I didn't say charge them, :laugh4: - I said to retreat back and force them to come after me. Did you delete my original tactics PM :inquisitive::laugh4:

[atheotes]

so YLC attacked Split? who is what?

[FactionHeir]

Considering he's having a good laugh, its safe to assume he won.

[ULC]

Whoever I engaged is Chaos Space Marines - split says he is Orks however.

[pevergreen]

Whoever I engaged is Chaos Space Marines - split says he is Orks however.

As for your original thing, yes. I have had to delete all PMs...about three times. I've stated that in thread. So if you don't send orders, i go off memory, or what you guys would do.

FH provided orders turn 1, then locations for every other turn. I deleted the turn 1 PMs about 2 weeks ago.

Ooops :embarassed:

I'll remember next time, thanks for the heads up - ask for a bigger PM box!

[pevergreen]

Its 500 already. I sub-AM two forums as it is.

[ULC]

Its 500 already. I sub-AM two forums as it is.

Mines 400 :beam:

[pevergreen]

Ooooh special. :yes:

I get mine for: Mod leader, Senior Membership and sub-AM'ing the ETW mod section.

[ULC]

Ooooh special. :yes:

I got mine because I bugged TC and Tosa :laugh4:

[slashandburn]

I only have 200. :thumbsdown:

[pevergreen]

I only have 200. :thumbsdown:

I had 2 for the first 2 months i was here.

[Splitpersonality]

I am Ork, I had my head blown off by a space marine scout, 2 or 3 of my boys fell, but my numbers still stand strong.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I only have 200. :thumbsdown:

Pah, you kids and your complaining over inbox sizes! Back in my day, I ran three mafia games with a limit of 40. Did I complain? No! And then they increased it to 100, and I thought that was the motherload! The motherload, I tell ya!

/cranky old man

:laugh4:

[pevergreen]

Results are out, same deal, let me know if I missed something.

24 hours to get orders in, then theres going to be a gap of two days.

Reason:

Thursday I get surgery, so that night im gunna be out of it, Friday night, im going out to a 21st.

[shlin28]

The crumpled corpses of Xenos bear testament to the might of the Emperor.

[ULC]

Okay, one of you "Space Marines" is a terrible, terrible liar :laugh4:

[shlin28]

The Imposters shall be found, and the vile taint excised from their bloody corpses. So decrees the Watcher of Death.

[pevergreen]

:laugh4:

This game would be a lot better with in thread communication, but what can you do with it? :no:

You know what...there may be a problem. I don't have a copy of the original PM's anymore.

If you still do, send me it please :sweatdrop:

[Askthepizzaguy]

The Imposters shall be found, and the vile taint excised from their bloody corpses. So decrees the Watcher of Death.

Leave their taint alone, man. It's bad enough they are dead, at least let a dead guy keep his taint.

[taka]

hm... unless theres a lot of us, i dont see where there are other blood god worshippers...

[Beefy187]

Your lack of Faith in the Divine Emperor... disturbs me... :thumbsdown:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Your lack of Faith in the Divine Emperor... disturbs me... :thumbsdown:

Your interest in a dead man's taint disturbs me.

[shlin28]

My only interest in that despicable piece of corruption is how many bolter shells it would take to obliterate it.
:yes:

[Askthepizzaguy]

My only interest in that despicable piece of corruption is how many bolter shells it would take to obliterate it.
:yes:

I'm pretty sure that all it would take to obliterate it would be a night spent eating spicy fajitas and bean-filled burritos.
