the Img tags assumes its a web address. Basically you need to host the file somewhere. (image shack, photobucket , wherever) I guess you could ask someone with FTP access to NMA to host it on NMA too... But you wont be able to host it off of your computer like that.
 
Uziel, was it your intention that we rescue you before the mutants make off with you or did you in fact wish to be taken prisoner?
 
I'm intending to be captured and dragged south. If the mods don't agree, then I guess I'm just knocked out and you'll have to rescure me.

"Save me Gaurd, Save me!"
 
If you get captured and drag south you will miss some action that is about to take place.

I could be a good Idea though, since you could tell us in your posts about your experiences in captivity and in a future we might be able to rescue you. But to keep the storyline we will not do that for now.

To avoid more confusion than the one already exists we will rescue you and you will return to the squad.

So, this is what happened: Uziel got lost, and not knowing where the heck he was he found himself somewhere between check point one and check point two of the patrol. The squad runs across Uziel when he is being captured by a mutant and rescues him. Post the rescue in the IC thread, where the fight with this mutant, or maybe even more, will take place.

To avoid this situations in the future, consult via PM to the mods or post your ideas in the oca thread first when planning things like this.

Sorry that I have been unable to post these two days, but I have been busy. I have been checking the thread though.
 
I can't help it, but I feel like I'm sticking out like a sore thumb here. With everyone else in Max's squad, me playing three NPCs and myself as off on our own feels rather foolish. I don't know if I should have them disappear to reappear at a later time or whatnot, but Major Max seems to think they dropped off the face of the Earth and aren't worth searching for?

I mean, I don't want to be like an attention hog, but its more like fanfiction on my end as what my group does seems to have no bearing on anyone else. I don't know how to really rectify that, but I don't want to retire Kell and his group as characters either.

Bit of help, perhaps?
 
Well, since this is Welsh's roleplay I think he have a better Idea about what should be done about it.

Still, I think it should be better to have a single group with a good cohesion than smaller different ones. Maybe you can join Jack's squad later, or we will could redistribute the characters in a better way.

right now my squad is kind of regrouping. It could be a good chance for a character redistribution. We should talk further about that.
 
Fireblade, these roleplays often go the way they wish to go. I can manage large plot stuff to a larger extent than player interaction.

I would advise that you bring your group into Jack's squad. Both have been pretty badly shot up and should merge.
 
OK, Fireblade, you have linked up with Max and a couple of BOS, and are leaving some traps before you withdraw. A concentrated Mutant attack is about to hit you.

You and Jack are to draw the enemy after you and into a killzone.
 
Maybe I should be MIA for a while, I've had a lot of stuff going on outside of the 'net recently. I'm in a lot of pain and I've misseda lot of school so I've been busy. Maybe it's best if my character is captured and wakes up at a later date.
 
Okay, you are an MIA. But at your own risk, I don't know if you are going able to reappear in this chapter. Will see. Good luck with school, let us know when you have more time.
 
I don't know if that would be even in this chapter. Maybe there will be something else. Will advise.
 
Er, sorry about being gone, I had my finals all last week up until to day. Now i'm free for the summer. :-D I'll Catch up on the RP and start contributing again.
 
No worries tempest- it's that time of year. I am busy grading.

Anyway, we finish up the battle in the Hub with the rest of the Mutants withdraw and then close it up.

Next chapter will probably involve a recon mission for weapons and supplies.
 
I think it's about time this chapter ends. If left uncontrol, the battle will go on forever and we won't have much story.

So please finish up whatever you have planned and let's start chapter 2 in two weeks.

Cool?
 
The chapter two is being planned. I might open an OC thread for that chapter in the next days to start recruitment.
 
Sounds good. Do you think we'll be able to recruit more players? If anything I suspect we might begin chapter 2 with less active players than Chapter 1...

I'm still committed if that helps.
 
Yes, we may get new roleplayers and that's all good.

In roleplay you have to expect a turn-over of players. Remember, It's only just for fun. People drop out all the time. Ideally you find a few people who are willing to commit to a story for the long haul, but that is always a minority.

This leads to a secondary problem. Fewer writers means fewer posts and more work for those who remain as well as potentially long breaks in between. That can slow down a thread until it dies down.

Add that to the problems of "other stuff"- people go away on vacation, take exams, etc at about the same time. They may leave the forum to do personal stuff and forget to come back. If the character is playing a pivotal role in the story- that's a problem.

And finally there are the long pauses where not much is happening in a story. It can't be all action- or that gets boring. But people get bored.

Other than that, most people prefer to be reactive rather than initiate new plot developments.

Anyway, that's a short list of why players drop out and the problems it causes.

What you need is a manager who has a sense of the story, knows where it wants to go, and can lead the players. Thus the manager's job is usually the most busy.

A new chapter usually means new characters can enter and essentially a continuation of the old characters and maybe the plot with new stuff happening.
