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??

[Beefy187]

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

[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 IN

[Beefy187]

I'm the host now! No grudges.

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

Don't tempt me

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

[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:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[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?

[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?

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

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

[slashandburn]

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

[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!"

[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]

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

[Khazaar]

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

[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?

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.

[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...
