[Nexus] OOC 27: I saw Moffy kissing Wolfy Claws

[Murkus]

I'll just go post then. Thanks Happy.

[ThirdEmperor]

Hey, Murkus, seeing as Jack is woven into all the Object stories and such, would you care if Prometheus knows him by reputation? Cause Jack would probably be the one thing that genuinely scares him.

[Murkus]

Sure, sure. Jack's whole gig is fear. He thrives on it. That's why all the scary stories about him help.

[Halae]

Lily doesn't know anything about him, but figures she may as well check what sort of person he is with a bit of divination

[Zefir]

C'nor I think it's your turn for the distraction street Ex-grave Titan thing. Oh and your PM box seems to be full^^

[Lady Serpentine]

It is, on both counts. I just tend to save up the Distraction posts for when there's no-one around that I'm in a scene with, since they take a while.

[Zefir]

So for scenes I#m in like every day.
I hate time zones. We need to make the whole world a disk.

A few things:

-Sorry to everyone expecting a post from me yesterday. I had to take an extended leave (I fell asleep for twelve hours, insomnia sometimes does that to you.) If there is anywhere I owe posts that I haven't gotten to, feel free to poke me.

-Julie's next show is finally ready to happen. Anyone with a free character is welcome to put one in the audience, so long as they follow Magtok's rules, or clear it with him if they don't. I'll be doing something a bit different than last time, with a possibility of less audiance participation. That means I might not get to everyone who shows up. In my unbiased opinion, it's sure to be a hoot.

-Here's the Wallpost for the show.

-"How am I doing on time... Just one more? Well okay." One more thing to wrap it up. Couple of weeks from now, just before christmas, I'll be busy with pre-cooking dinners and baking and whatnot. Then I'm off on vacation. Since a few of you will most likely be busy during the holidays as well, this probably isn't too much of a shock. Suffice to say, posting may be spotty, with a chance of deadtime.

So I'm of the opinion that AMEN should do something big and vaguely silly and fun. Any volunteers for victims? :V

[Zefir]

Wasn't AMEn planing such a thing latly? I mean they head to the meeting room all together. But then the typical AMEN stuff happened everyone wants to do their own stuff

[Gullara]

You mean when two plans were actually acted upon? I fail to see how that's a bad outcome of the meeting.

Provided it won't leave her permanently dead or anything, Karyana would probably be up for big, vaguely silly, and fun.

I fail to see how this counts as AMEn thing and not as things some people want to do.

[Gullara]

I fail to see how it can't be both. Last time I checked, assassinating the leader of Remnant and stealing weapons can both be seen as things AMEN would want to do.

[ThirdEmperor]

Er, yeah, that's how AMEN works. The members never agree with each other, and no plan ever has everyone on board.

[Lady Serpentine]

What TE said. Trying to get a group of selfish people, most of whom are quite paranoid, to work together is going to be rather hard, to say the least.

What makes recent events an AMEN thing rather than someone doing their own stuff is that in the plan to have Gus kill Vasquez, you ended up with so many of these people working together (a Magtok, two Moffs, Becky, Stu, and Rocid), without, in most cases, preexisting alliances, as well as the passive support of most of the others.

Which is two of of the reasons, in my opinion, that the attack on Erin's, while certainly something AMEN won't have a problem accepting the spoils, if any, of, isn't an AMEN thing - first, Prometheus and Cyrus already have things worked out to some extent, and would appear to at least semi-trust each other, and therefore would have been likely to work on it without AMEN being around as a reason, assuming they met in some other manner, and second, their plan had the direct dissaproval of almost everyone else in the organization.

(Speaking of these plans, considering that Vasquez comes back any time she dies, what did they hope to accomplish by killing her?)

[Zefir]

Ok that where things AMEn MEMBERS want to do, but the leadership had other plans which no one heared to and in my opinion it would be an AMEN thing if the members would go for such things. Sorry for that.

[Slii Arhem]

Zefir, the plan against Vasquez was an AMEN leader's plan. Magtok may not have absolute authority there, but he's definitely high enough on the ladder to be considered a leader.

Prometheus' idea wasn't terrible, from a certain perspective, but he was definitely reading from the wrong book. Attacking the people you're trying to steal the good weapons from isn't in the "Art of War" as far as I know.

And playing go-karts with everyone was just... well, the veto there was obvious, and for good reason.

[Earl of Purple]

Deadtime now, no comment on when I'll return.

[Reinholdt]

I mean, it's not like you and Phantom couldn't set up the Go-Karts anyways. There's a decent chance people will just show up regardless of what they think of the idea if you do.

[Lord Magtok]

(Speaking of these plans, considering that Vasquez comes back any time she dies, what did they hope to accomplish by killing her?)

Well, I can't speak for the other characters involved, but originally, Magtok threw the idea out there just so he could say he had a more villainous, more exciting alternative to being murdered by the Emporium or hit by that annoying spiny blue shell. Honestly, he didn't actually care at all what happened to Vas, went in knowing that she'd probably be alright or get resurrected, and just thought all the attention and support of his fellow AMENites would be cool. Mag was simply in it, to be quite frank, for the lulz.

[Zefir]

TE you should post in riverside I think. (And in GloG)

[BladeofObliviom]

Prometheus' idea wasn't terrible, from a certain perspective, but he was definitely reading from the wrong book. Attacking the people you're trying to steal the good weapons from isn't in the "Art of War" as far as I know.

I might add that Cyrus missed the part where the plan was to attack Erin's. He was under the impression that the raid was on some Remnant Weapons Depot that Prometheus knew the location of, not the one shop with better fortifications than a typical ACRO.

Of course, he would also be less concerned about that fact because he's not actually in the line of fire.

[Gullara]

Hey Earl, looks like the lack of commenting worked like a charm.

[Earl of Purple]

As I hoped. Had I said 'for supper', or 'should be back soon', events will transpire so that I'm not back that evening.

[Earl of Purple]

Sorry for the double post, but Deadtime here. Goodnight everybody.

BladeofObliviom And ThirdEmperor, please post for the Swamp of Not-Quite-Sanity.

[Lady Serpentine]

That would likely be because Prometheus specifically stated that the plan wasn't to attack Erin's.

Not even Remnant could believe he'd attack Erin's.

I still think, of all the ideas thrown out in that silly meeting, the plan to steal money and go to Erin's and buy the weapons was probably the one that made the most sense.

It's scary to think that Stu could be he most sensible person in AMEN.

[ThirdEmperor]

He didn't say that. He was just suspiciously silent on the exact target.

In all seriousness, Prometheus had more reasons than just trying to acquire lots of weapons. For a start, attacking a high-profile target like EE is more likely to draw Remnant's wrath than say, setting fire to a museum. For another, EE sells to Remnant, so their sales records should give a fair estimate of what kinds of equipment Remnant has.

[UncleWolf]

Actually, EE only sold one thing to Remnant. The starting armor, which EE was paid to destroy all records of.

The rest of the Remnant equipment is either built on site, or Pre-Remnant.
