Ambidexterous, and the machine pistols have RC 4. I fired one burst from each weapon. Ares Crusader: 4P, Explosive Rounds: +1P, Wide Burst: -2 to defense pool.

Initiative (7d6.hits(5)=3)

That'd put me at 10 or 11.

Okay, since there seems to be some confusion about this, wound modifiers impact both the initiative score itself and the dice pool.  So a person with a score of 9 with a wound mod of -2 would roll 7 dice and add the successes to 7 for their final total.  I am in the process of studying for a midterm, so I will not be posting any further until tomorrow afternoon, American EST

You know, I'm a little unclear on something...  Wasn't part of the agreement with Creidhne to run some overwatch to help prevent exactly this scenario?

[Necrogigas]

I wanna say that I'm hella surprised that this game has lasted this long even with two characters, and three players, dropping out,  The longest pbp game, before this, that I've played only lasted two months before falling apart.

The advantage of starting with 8 players is that you can lose a couple and still have a viable game. 

[RHat]

And when you have enough players, the game easily handles one or two people having to back off for a bit.

[HydroRaven]

Hopefully we can ride that wave into another assignment if the GM allows it.

[RHat]

I'm in for more if it's there to be had.

[farothel]

Me too.  Currently I'm waiting for the second combat round (having a 1IP character means having to wait a lot in combat  )

I really am sorry that things have slowed down this week, I am just getting crushed by school at the moment.

That said, I do want to chime in on this topic and say that I am down for playing for the long haul.  I fully intend to keep running as long as I have players to play, and i want to thank you guys for sticking it out through all the lulls we have had.

[HydroRaven]

I'm good with how things are going right now

That being said, here's Clem's initiative for the next turn: Second Turn (11d6.hits(5)=6) So that's a 17.

I'm super happy with how this game is working out and I'd like it to continue if everyone who's still here is up for it. As for the slow part its actually really nice from time to time since I'm also in school. 

[Thvor]

I've been swamped recently, between making the kids' Halloween costumes and watching the Red Sox win. Now that those are both over, I'm good to go!

[Crossbow]

Starting to get things moving again, but I still have a lot going, so bear with me...

You know, I'm a little unclear on something...  Wasn't part of the agreement with Creidhne to run some overwatch to help prevent exactly this scenario?

No, your agreement with Creidhne was to keep you from being jacked up for driving a stolen car all over Seattle all morning while 9 people were broadcasting no IDs whatsoever.  This falls a little outside of those guidelines.
