It's all good. The whole purpose of those question marks is to let you know when I was confused by something, not that you were necessarily in the wrong.

I know.... I'm scared and confused. I want to know who felt the need for a change. The old format was simple, and it worked. This new system just seems finicky and confusing. I'm especially confused as to where to make what threads. Where do I put my OOC? What about the IC? Is that really the right spot? I don't know!

Shit.... I just realized that Prosper might just die here... Leonie is the only one here he is going to obey, well until she dies or a higher ranking INEF personnel shows up, and I can see her forgetting that Prosper needs to be told to get the hell out of there. XD

When the retreat order is given, it'll be by a member of the local planetary forces who have jurisdiction over the fight. Failing that, it can be assumed that Prosper would understand what a general retreat looks like, and unless otherwise ordered, would fall in line. Especially since his overriding directive right now would be "protect command staff", and a rear admiral is on his way over.

Alright. That will work perfectly. I guess I was forgetting that the poor thing is near godly levels of intelligence. XD

Look below action log for additional notes--your name may be pinged there, as well as in the action log!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
North Bellsford, Super-Centre: Currently in a high-tension area, engaged.
North Bellsford, Zinc Road: Holding position. EVAC HAS ARRIVED!
East Bellsford, Red Line/Convoy #4: Subway station online. EVAC HAS ARRIVED!
Additional NPC information here. Don't be afraid to ask more info on them.
After this tutorial section is finished, I'm going to likely drop the action logs and offer to speed up posting rounds to one week instead of two weeks! Let me know what y'all think below.
As you can see, East Bellsford has united into one area. The tutorial phase is coming to a close soon. The only thing stopping North Bellsford from the same now is @Helios which is fine because Ascendant leaving the RP gives him an easy window to escape with. Once Helios takes the rappel line, North Bellsford will become one group as well. Once this tutorial phase is over, I can stop with the obtuse railroading, and leave all of you in the hub world (central city). From there, y'all can decide for yourselves how you'll survive.
Seriously, just get aboard the VTOL/Subway, and the tutorial railroading can end. We're one step away from getting all of you the freedom to make your own decisions on how to survive this situation.
Next GM IC Post will go up Sunday 11th, October.
@Aleksandar has failed to post for the previous two rounds. Since there was no intro post, that makes dropping him easy as can be at least.
@Ascendant has informed me via Steam that he's leaving the RP. Best of luck in future endeavours, mate. Thanks for the time you spent here.
@Azathoth no post from you. What's up?
@PCSutfin no post from you. This isn't the first time you've done this in one of my RP's either.
@Honorific no post from you either! Shamefur dispray!
If there are any questions, as always, just ask.
Just a list of acronyms and the like. Will be updated as more appear.
Universal Terms
NAT: No Action Taken this round. For the round that a new player is introduced, this is normal. Failing to act in the story repeatedly will get you warned and eventually removed from the RP. I don't like being that guy though, so please don't force me to do so.
Pinned: Character is pinned. They generally will have to struggle free, or else be knocked out or killed by the target pinning them. Strength is the prevailing trait here, though agility can play a factor.
NPC Terms
Independent: NPC is acting of their own accord.
Under Orders: NPC is doing what a player has told them to do, overriding what they would normally do. (If confronted with multiple orders, they'll generally execute the ones that make the most sense to them at the time, unless they value loyalty over common sense.)
Leader: NPC is the leader of a larger group. (Ex: Militia Sergeant.)
P-NPC: Party NPC. These characters generally have no overriding reason to leave you and will stay with you. Other NPC's may come and go, but these guys are here to stay with you.
Elite: NPC is highly trained and will present a very sincere threat to the group. NPC has flat bonuses against death checks and will instead ordinarily take injuries. Be very wary engaging one unless you have a good defensive position or you can ambush it. Will ordinarily apply only to enemies.
Boss: NPC is absurdly powerful in some way. Only engage if you have no other choice, and expect to see PC's die trying to kill it. Retreat should be your normal strategy against these characters, as they generally won't pursue and will instead send their underlings after you.

Standing Orders (Admiral): Himself, Bao, and Morgan first. Libero and Phillipe second. William and Sergeant Max last.
Sergeant Max (A-1205) (NPC): Is going to be sacrificed for the greater good, as the player is no longer participating. A good death is its own reward.
William McCormick (@Helios ): Opens fire on one of the incoming stealth-scouts.

Cannot fire while moving and has to deploy to fire. When deployed, tendrils move through the ground like roots, supplying it with the resources necessary to fire.

@Brovo This format has got me questioning whether I want to stick around on Iwaku, particularly since this is my last RP on the site. As interested as I am in the Tychon's potential as a character, I might just stop RPing altogether with the way things have been going.
Sorry for not mentioning that before the post deadline, but I'll definitely give you a heads up on what I decide to do in the coming week rather than just disappear.

- Fantasy is my #1; I will give almost anything a chance if it has strong fantasy elements. Post apocalyptic, superhero, alternate history, science fantasy, some supernatural, romance, and a few fandoms (especially Game of Thrones) are also likely to catch my eye.
