Having narrowly escaped falling, you find yourself in, what you now percieve as, a human mining barracks. There the lockers and mining equipment stand, not on a backdrop of an ancient alien vessel, but of a common human built mine.

To the other side of the room you find two auto-docs, one smashed beyond repair the other in non-working condition and will take some time to repair. You are in need of it as your legs are still massively injured and throbbing even as stimpaks try to help recover some of the damage.

Meanwhile, the battle rages on above and you ask your commanders and companions for advice.

>Kreger
“I favor a more conservative approach. I believe we can convince the Marked Men to retreat. I’ve seen that not all of them are so incredibly fanatical as to wish to burn to death in the face of our flamethrowers.
My suggestion is to do a forward push with troops and leave the pocket open and allow them to retreat as we push them out. It would be safest and be the path of least resistance. We can shore up our defenses after that.”
>ZAX(MAJOR)
“We aren’t taking prisoners and they aren’t giving us any. We’re going to kill them all anyway, might as well kill them now.
Close the pocket, and cook em like rats before they come back to bite us in the ass! Attack attack attack!”
>CAIN
“I say we focus on rescuing the Courier and maybe the Axe Guy. These big battles always have some general or boss type at the top right?

Do this the way me and my old Brotherhood squad solved our problems. We grab our best boys, go find the general and kill him and all his men. They’ll scatter after that.”

>Chinese
The Chinese suggest digging in and calling building heavy weapons to obliterate the city.

>Well auto-med systems would just be a copy of what's in the stealth suit mk 2
True but this is recreating that reliably and possibly with more drugs like psycho, steady, jet and shit.

>I would say go jetpack for general purpose armour.
Agreed, the vertical mobility would be useful but the suit's weight might make landings dangerous for the user's legs. We'd need to get FO 4's PA's leg hydraulics so they could survive without breaking a bone probably.

>We're using energy weapons, so recoil isnt really a problem for the troops
Actually energy weapons in Fallout can generate recoil I think but only shit like Plasma which some of our troops do use.

>We can probably research alien shield tech so we have full body shields like in halo
That'd be energy intensive and I'd agree to that when we get the PA version which I want to make the standard. However the physical shield is a simple, low cost solution to the problem of having our troops survive heavy fire.

>Yes to pip boys
Agreed. The Geiger counter amongst other things is useful and the radio / message storage is useful. Plus it works as a map for our robotic command structure to feed data through.


>>1772355
>Follow the Zax's Plan, an envelopment to crush the enemy

Remember, their losses are permanent and every loss reduces their potential to innovate and respond to our actions. We should weaken them now as much as possible since they will continue to harass us no matter what. Better to get as many of them now while they aren't able to respond.

>>1772410
Sun Tzu talked about this type of thing in his book, if we allow them a pocket to escape from they will not fight to the death. If the enemy is enclosed they will fight with the Zeal of the last stand
It's in his book somewhere.

>>1772355
Use the general and xats plan, however. Let them 'retreat' and suddenly be roasted between artillery and other mutations

>>1772414
Sun Tzu is a respectable man and a good general. Yet I see no reason to make use of logic based on ill fitting comparisons.


Simple fact is that we intend to take more of this city and that means anyone we let out will be able to educate the rest on our tactics and thus we will face thicker, more effective defences and more sheer numbers thanks to the survivors as well.

>>1772414
This, i remember reading that.
t>>1772355
>Kreger

>>1772419
Yeah, but with all their tunnels and shit, they likely had some people who got out and would not be killed in the encirclement. So doing so for the sake of tactical secrecy is kinda a null point.

>>1772430
If that were the case then they'd escape through those tunnels, just like they would during Kreger's plan.

Only difference is that ZAX is promising a far higher casualty rate on their side and will be pushing them with the intent to kill rather than the intent to scare off.

>>1772437
If they have the high ground, it's better to get them in a less defended spot, so we ourselves take less casualties. It's using the old thing of forcing the enemy to fight where you want them.

>>1772437
I propose we drive them back some more while building up more artillery, until we have them nice and concentrated so we can eliminate them with gas and sustained bombardment. We shoud not worry too much about robot casualties as we can easily replace all those losses and the metal never really goes to waste.

>>1772443
Mate this entire city is a place we don't want to fight them. They've fortified, tunnelled, mined, trapped and generally prepared every part of it. All you are doing is shifting trouble from A to B in the vague hope that their defences will be thinner there.

>>1772445
Can't use artillery to hit the city's inner regions. The tall buildings block the shots.

As to gas? Ghouls'd just heal through it most likely.

Zyklon B maybe? Definitely airburst white Phosphorous. I will have to read up on NBC warfare to give you better examples, though I highly doubt nerve agents would be very effective here.

>>1772641
Scratch Zyklon B.

>>1772529
I did a bit of light reading on chemical warfare and i am sure that blister agents would be especially effective here as they should be easily absorbed by the marked men through their exposed flesh.

There are 6 main types of chemical weapons employed, namely Nerve Agents, Choking Agents, Blood Agents, Blister Agents, Vomiting Agents, and tear agents.

I highly doubt that blood or choking agents would be highly effective against them as the blood agents shut down the ability of the body to reform cytochrome-oxidase, the molecule used by the bodie's cells to produce energy. I doubt this will be highly effective because their bodies differ greatly from normal. Choking agents can easily be blocked and are no longer used today becasue of it.

I can go into greater detail about the rest if you guys would like?

>>1772688
We lack sufficient knowledge of Ghoul biology to state what weapons would function effectively.


This could be resolved by autopsy and vivi-section of Marked Men we capture which works well with the plan to use their brains for the TACTs.

>>1772641
Airburst white phosphorous against the marked men. Id support that

>>1772718
We could attempt to develop Chlorine Tri-fluoride into a weapon but that might be a bit too much.


On the other hand, it'll turn the city into a nice melted pile of slag we can reprocess. Ignoring the poison gas.

>>1772725
Im not familiar with Chlorine Tri-fluoride. What would it do?

>>1772725
I don't think we're at the point where we can justify unrestricted chemical warfare to our people. They might take offense to it, seeing how some of them might recall the gas attacks in New Vegas.

>>1772743
Well it would react with more or less any form of matter it encounters, creating chlorine gas as well as ultra high temperature chemical fires as the fluorine breaks it's bonds with the chlorine and instead attaches to the shit around it.

What is important to note is that this shit turns to a gas at 11 degrees Celsius. Which means that in a split second, it goes from a liquid to a rapidly expanding gas reacting with everything and turning the temperature into a furnace.

It should also be noted that the gas it forms is corrosive, toxic and generally just a fucking nightmare.

“We have no weapons able to reliably kill them.”
“It takes a dozen shots just to penetrate the armor and they go down, but then more of them just come up and drag em away. Its like they keep repairing themselves.”
“-Somehow they know where we are when we stick our heads out!”
“We need bigger weapons.”
“SHADDUP
You idiots. How hard is it to kill goddamn robots. We’ve been fucking killing them since we arrived, Old World Army robots no less!”

“Fuck off. Im not selling my bloody soul”

Looks like their sqaud morale is breaking. If we offered them a chance to be fixed, or at least releived of pain, then they might be willing to surrender.

Battle Update.

Resistance is almost minimal. The enemy is maintaining pot shots from a distance, which are swiftly returned by artillery fire and return sniper fire by order of Kreger, as the robots take cover where they can, lobbing rockets and grenades and basically leveling anything in their way.

Its dangerous for the Spy Bots to be caught in the cross fire, so the firepower is not accurate, and heavy saturation is used in lieu of this.

Every little hole, crevice, or crawl is hosed down by the flamethrower tank.

It appears, for all intents and purposes, the effect to drive back the enemy is a success.

However, the success is short lived. a MASSIVE explosion is felt again, possibly even one of the tactical nuclear warheads or an entire ammo dump, destroying several squads of robots just as you had claimed new ground. The marked men scorching the earth as they retreat, if such a thing were even possible.

>ZAX(MAJOR)
"Fucking tunnels and booby traps.

We're winning but we need to adjust our strategy. They are using these tunnels effectively, and have built them too small for our main line of soldier the Securitron.

I have some requests to make for immediate research!"

This ends the battle turn for the month.

Post Battle Assessment:
>Kreger
"This was an intense battle, but comparatively speaking every marked man we kill is gone for good. We can replace these robot losses and press on. If we can even build more robots than we started with and overwhelm them with numbers, the better.

We could open up several fronts in the city, divide their attention. Currently we make an appealing target in our one place."

>ZAX(MAJOR)
"I support the generals assessment. Send teams to collect the scrap from the territory we have so far. Build more forces and attack from more angles.

It is also imperative we find and locate you as well. Your assistance is best used either on the front, or as CAIN puts it to find and eliminate their leadership."

[FAILURE - Though you speak into your pip-boy and on the otherside Kreger holds up a microphone to his radio, and you present a formal case and do your best to persuade the Marked Men to surrender, promising to use science and rational to cure those who have been converted, it would seem none of them are taking it.

Indeed efforts to send robotic envoys or your own soldiers to broadcast this message are merely shot at, or ignored.

You wonder if it is your previous actions and murderous rampage against them, or if they have been convinced of a different alternative. No matter what it reveals that, for now, the Marked Men still refuse to bend to you one way or the other.

Oh well. They were always hostile to you to begin with anyway.]

let SPI do their thing with the spy-eyes.

The ZAX decides to build and do a test run with your previous heavy Scout Drone Model, while making a few modifications of her own, and building a prototype all in one thanks to the efforts of CEO and your automated robotics factory.

She immediately scans BigMT, finding nothing of note that James Bond didn't already detect.

However, as she scans further than James' own spy eyebots, she makes an interesting discovery.

>ZAX(SPI)
"Peekabo!

I see you!"

Hidden in the air, made invisibly by stealth technology, are hidden flying robotic drones! You've not seen this model ever before.

They are bordering the edge of NCR / Phoenix Commonwealth Territory, though an exact border doesn't precisely exist in the desert, only on paper.

>ZAX(SPI)
"Hmmmm. I'm not sure if they can see us or not. But I do feel some radar pings coming off those things and I believe I am scanning some high performance camera lenses on their undersides."

The SPI's Spy Drone keeps track of the foreign drone, as the ZAX organizes squads of home reserve Spy Bots to pursue with EMP blasters. However these are short range, so they'll have to get close.

They have tremendous speed thanks to the Alien Metal used in their making and the alien batteries, but the other drone spots them and makes a run for it clearly headed west.

The Spy Drones pursue, giving chase and blasting it, but the drone attempts to duck and weave and escape. It is hit however, and eventually crashes to the ground

However its clear you are almost a mile or two deep into the NCR's side of the border. SPI's drone radar detects vehicles moving in fast possibly a jet or a helicopter from the northwest closing in. They may intercept your drones if they try to retrieve the downed drone.

The ZAX does a lot of flashy noises and quick thinking as precious minutes pass.

Finally the Spy Drone sees what is coming over the horizon, its lens focusing in on what can only be an NCR Jet Craft. It catches a glimpse of the NCR logo on it just before it dives and makes its bombin run, blowing up the downed drone and the eyebots that were carrying it.

Luckily, the Spy Drone escaped the blast.

It depends on what type of quest I imagine. Will it be a civ quest or a hero quest or something else?
I was able to draw inspiration from other quests I've been in, and having hosted similar, non quest games, from both this site and another. You learn a lot from trial, error, and failure and success both.
I myself borrow many elements of my system from another civ quest QM. So simply reading other Civ Quests is a good first step. See what ideas or writing styles other people do, and then discover which one you like and think will be fun with players
What someone else recently told me that helped is this:

"I wasn't able to tap into its memory chip before the blast, but I was able to take some choice pictures and from them assemble a clear picture of the drone itself.

There aren't any records here in BigMT or with us to tell you what it is or where it came from, but its clearly a scout drone. Simple propeller propulsion on, what RND and Dr. 0 theorize, to be a sleek carbon/glass, kevlar, fiber and aluminum alloy of sorts.

I spotted two missile pods, which were jettisoned previously to improve speed.

There was a multilense camera underneath clearly meant for long range, hi resolution photos. And I saw a clear radar antannae type. This thing is, in the very least, able to take pictures and send them somewhere else. Furthermore it clearly has at least short range stealth detection capabilities, as it was able to spot our incoming Sp y Eye drones. Though its possible it was able to spot my Spy drone at medium range detection as well.

There was no logo on the device, or if there was, it may have been painted over."

>finish the train
You have already built the train, and have a number of cars all ready for it. Thus I have had this action double up to further complete the railroad.

It's already halfway there!

>>1774951
We didn't finish the train actually. There was a turn where you wrote out finishing the train, but that was a mistake because you git confused by which turn got voted in.

>>1774951
Can we send a diplomatic note to the NCR, asking for an explanation for the previous incident. Why when our own forces which were in hot pursuit of a flying machine of unknown origin were bombed by a plane bearing NCR markings.

>>1774968
I mean they would probably just say they engaged an unkown enemy with force, and our drones, which were trespassing were collateral. Not really going to get much to work with.

>>1774969
We have to at least send a note. Also we are technically a trading partner and they just went ahead with bombing instead of contacting us or sending troops to secure the area.

We have to show some displeasure or let it be treated as nothing.

>>1774970
Its kinda their territory. They can bomb it if they wish, and unless we want to admit to violating borders, we don't really have much to complain about.

>>1774972
It is just how these political games are played.

Also potential casus belli to eventually declaring war while portraying ourselves as the aggrieved party.

>>1774972
Yeah, I pretty much agree.

We don't really have ground to stand on diplomatically without also exposing ourselves.

Let's just treat it as the spy war in which we're engaging. We should definetly adopt this tactic of spy drones covering our borders though.

Good thing we didn't try and infiltrate the NCR to take out their artillery as well - we'd be at war now as they would have seen us coming.

>>1774972
So moving forward, up the production of espionage bots for border control, incorporate the outposts into our CCTV system, sprinkle the desert we control with little pop-up long-range laser turrets for AA and infiltrator shooting and publish our book with a sideorder of propaganda.

>>1774975
Fine send a letter. Just don't expect anything.

What's the casus belli going to be "you bombed an unknown entity in your territory and our trespassing robots got caught up in it"? Not really going to fly.

>>1774982
Fine. Forget it.

Besides it would have been more along the lines of "our forces were in pursuit of a spy which ran right through NCR territory. While taking it down, our forces were attacked by our trading partners without any provocation as they were doing their duty to defend our borders."

>>1774966
Oh okay well then you have the Train!

I'll go find the post, but the jist of it is it will run on your electrical grid. As you are only running at 88% and not using it this very month, and the leftover is enough to get it charged after about month of non-usage. Granted this will increase your energy cost.

However, should you wish you can spend a considerable sum on adding a reactor battery which will entirely remove this problem and make it self-recharging.

>>1774984
Border defense stops at the border. Once they're on the NCR side they aren't our problem.

>>1774990
Hardly matters. This material is just propaganda and the only people it would have been really supposed to convince, in the event of war, is our populace.

>Hazmat clean up bots
Research of the Hazard Cleanup bots continues.

The primary difficulty is maintaining the level of protection that is afforded with the Hazard Robots, while at the same time, not being so near as bulky and large. Most people consider robots 100% immune to radiation, and in general, this is true. In fact the Old World used robots to for direct nuclear rod handling. But for such intense and massive doses, even they need more than a modicum of protection for their electronics. None the least the possibility of exposure to intense heat, caustic acids, rusting moisture, and much more. The securitron model is often too big to fit into small spaces, let alone the much larger Hazard Robot.

So the decision is to keep them humanoid while making them entirely out of alien metal rather than steel. This has increased its fissile material cost. In addition, the application of the repulosor field technology and filtration used on the Exoarmor is also used. The ZAX manages to design it in such a way their armor can be replaced if exposed to caustic substances.

These humanoid robots will be deployed with a variety of tools, such as disposable shovels, metallic hoses capable of both sucking up material and spraying the Sink's Neutralizing-Radiation insulation foam, and a heavy disintegrator to vaporize the most offending materials. Foam can be sprayed on surfaces to help catch the radiation from contaminating other surfaces, while distintegrators work on the solid matter underneath.

As a bonus, they also function quite well as a fire brigade!

>Jacob Miles
"Always bothered me we didn't have that. Even with concrete buildings, we were lucky we didn't get a house fire here and there.

Okay, so we have the robot crews and the human protection too.

Now all we need to do is decide what we want to do with the Toxins. Destroy them or store them somewhere else?

I mean, the whole point of this particular facility was storage and look where that ended up."

>>1774999

Possible storage for usage as weapons against NCR? Strategic usage of these gases could render large segments of their industry crippled.

In addition we can literally fabricate storage facilities with inbuild repulsor tech without weld seams or microscopic holes.

>>1775003
Certainly of use to eliminate enemies ignoring their...moral qualities. Also I never did get a response as to if we should make use of chlorine tri-fluoride. >>1772781.

Still with this action we've gotten anti-toxin robots that can double up as our fire service robots the rest of the time but we might want to make some proper anti-fire robots later.


Also I would suggest we construct a few flights of fighter drones and use them to try and eliminate any more of the NCR's recon drones that we can.


We should also see about using our next few turns to just focus on construction robots and other such things so we can harvest the Divide as quickly as possible and shit.

>>1775009
>Also I would suggest we construct a few flights of fighter drones and use them to try and eliminate any more of the NCR's recon drones that we can.

If we do we should consider not shooting down all of them. They dont seem to have detected our own spy drone. We could purposely let one flee and escape while we wreck the rest while our spy bot tracks them to their base of origin.

>>1775014
True but we'd be better off constructing a flight of spy drones and using them to triangulate their base than doing that.

>>1775015
Sort of faster. Especially if we're clearing our airspace of their spy drones, this is something that comes naturally since we might not be able to eliminate all of them and just make it costly and clear that any intrusion will be messily dealt with. Survivors that flee can then be tracked down.

Reminder that we should build a new power plant soon so we can generate Fissile material to convert into metal.

>>1775019
Honestly we could do both plans at the same time, seeing as we need both kinds of drones either way long term. Anyhow, it's not like this is a high priority mission compared to the Divide and harvesting everything we can there.

>>1775020
Agreed. We need it for more robots and shit as well.

You think immediately of those crazy theories that tin foil blocks pyschic mind waves, which actually according to BigMT research Tinfoil is effective against Robo-Brain Mesmetron attacks.

But your initial efforts to make a helmet painfully remind you that you have a bloody tesla coil in your head. This presents a problem, as you can't completely cover your head this way or risk the damned coils being interferred.

You consider you have to work on a better system for that.

In any case, the other hard part is the dish meant to amplify the voices signals itself. Normal metals don't seem to do much, however, you almost think you hear a faint whispering if you stick your ear up to your Alien Raygun (which you did purely out of luck after falling over and nearly passing out whenwhen putting on the original helmet).

You start dissassembling your alien weapons and begin making a sort of dual dish system around your shoulders. Its bulky and looks ridiculous, but you are hoping it will work.

When I get back you can be certain that this has shown me the power of your star father. I'll make sure that we dedicate some effort into researching these effects and helping your people spread not only your beliefs but your technology."

"My power is limited, as are the means available to me. Only because of the efforts on your end and perhaps your willpower are you able to hear me. There are some faithful standing right next to me who do not hear.

I will try to help you, but I sense a great source of Neurodyne influence nearby. It beats and throbs like a heart, fluctuating in power as if acted upon by another force. I cannot see where it is, but it is likely you will know you are close when you stop hearing my voice."

Why did you want me to get to the crater with swiftness? Just so we can talk?

>>1775107
How do we kill it?

>>1775113
I perceived staying at the bottom of that tunnel to be a poor choice, as there was a healing machine up here and also that you were afraid of heights. Climbing would be difficult if the illusion took full hold of you.
>>1775120
Is not devising the means to kill things your specialty? I think to be safe you must either stop it's influence entirely with some sort of barrier, or utterly obliterate it and leave no trace.

Rolled 56, 66, 42 = 164 (3d100)

Meanwhile up above the battle continues, but without your ability to communicate effectively the genrals are left to their own machinations.

>>1775182
I followed Homesteader quest and thought to myself "How DO they get so many nat 20s?" Well, now I know...

>>1775177
This guy rolled a 7 and got dub 7s. That has to count for something, right? That's 3 sevens.

>>1775194
Oh right, there was a rule of special numbers wasn't there? What do 3 singles get us?

>>1775197
Probably nothing based just off the rolls.
If my post ended in 3 >>1775172

Holy Shit

Winrar is you!

....and with a little bit of mercy from QM we will be as well.

>>1775395
Maybe with all the rolling, OP would accept both a Nat 1 and Nat 100. Because we're playing with fire, we could have made the problem much worst or much better, it all depends on the rolls.

The OhShitYouDidItgain ft. DJ Crypto #2

But in all seriousness, seeing the first three rolls I think he could give us some slack. This whole thing has been a giant disaster for our hero anyway. Not to mention the fact that the marked men will soon sell their souls to the Elder Gods. The dice really fuck us bad.

We rolled 12 times. We had 12% to get a Nat 1 or a Nat 100. I hope OP accept the 100, because if I gotten a 1 he would too accept that.

Rolled 32 (1d100)

>>1775418
Nah he will.

>>1775423
Stop rolling anon. You want to get a Nat 1 and make my efforts useless?

>>1775430
Worse than useless actually. If things go the way they did last time.

Did OP say when he's coming back? Or did he left due to that 3 single digit rolls?

>>1775191
I also follow that quest, OP is due to come back and we can see the results of the battle with our main man Karl

>>1775437
He's gone for a good while >>1775077

>tfw QM is just gonna ignore it and be mad even though though we had the same chance to get a bat 1

>>1775445
He don't do that. Also the three rolls were 19 vs OP 164. That's the lowest we have ever gotten.

>TFW OP will use the Nat 100 due to being a cool QM

I am pretty sure that it has been confirmed that OP will use nat 1s and 100s no matter how many rolls there are and whenever he called for rolling or not

>>1775387
Strictly speaking according to the rules you have to link a roll to a vote to make it count.

And this is clearly roll aboos.

So I'd have to consider an exception or not. Or perhaps something more . . .elaborate. hehe

>>1775651
Don't worry though. Chances are I'll pick something fun.

For me at least. You guys better cross your fingers.

>>1775652
What about the three sevens from >>1775177

77 plus roll of 7.

>>1775652
>>1775651
OP please use the nat 100

>>1775651
>Strictly speaking according to the rules you have to link a roll to a vote to make it count.
If someone could scour the archive and find evidence of a non-linked 100 or 1 being used that'd be lovely for this moment in time but I can't since it is nearing 1 AM for me and I feel like death.

>And this is clearly roll aboos.
Not really. You left an open vote for multiple hours using a system which uses of "best of". So this sort of thing always happens. It's a fact of the system as players returning to the quest, i.e catching up after sleep or work or anything else, feel the need to vote since every other vote is bad and the same goes for new players.

Of all those rolled numbers there was only one occasion where a person rolled twice and that occurred with both votes within five minutes of each other and within ten minutes of the rolls opening.

The nat 100 that was used for debraining Bradley the mutant was not best of 3, nor was it linked to the post asking for a roll.

>>1775796
Thanks man.

>>1775775
Don't worry. Sometimes I forget that jests and facetious humor don't always translate well on text without verbal intonation.

Of course there's precedence for non linked 100s, I was merely referring to the ruleset I am inspired by but not strictly bound to and it's not like you guys rolled a hundred rolls or something.

However you did roll like shit and got a 100, so expect some interesting results. But it's not a nat1 so it won't be another crypto.

>>1776191
The 100 counts is what I am saying.

>>1776198
QM, if that Nat 100 was a Nat 1. I would be okay of it having counted. As the rule should apply to both of the extremes

It's Mystery time!

This time you won't know exactly what these things do. So take a guess!

CHOOSE:
>Marked for Sacrifice, a Colossal Mistake
>Impasse of the Lords of War, and the negotiation
>The Third Holocaust, the rockets red glare
>A Map Error, the Claws of the Bear
>Weapons Test, a show of force

>>1775170
>>1776809
Who is this for? Is this our generals while they're in battle or us while we're still in the mineshaft possibly suffering from illusions?

>>1776809
>>Impasse of the Lords of War, and the negotiation

>>1776809
>Impasse of the Lords of War, and the negotiation

>>1776809
>>Impasse of the Lords of War, and the negotiation

>>1776809
>>Impasse of the Lords of War, and the negotiation
or
>Marked for Sacrifice, a Colossal Mistake
Would involve a negotiation of some sort from the Shamans and Marked Men, which is what we wanted.

>>1776809
>>Impasse of the Lords of War, and the negotiation

>>1776858
Whoa check this Nat 100 out linked to your post

>>1776858
Are you deaded again QM?

Also, how long does it really take you to write a post? It seems to me like 40 or so minutes between the affirmation and the post is common. Are you actually writing that long or are you multitasking something else while doing it? It seems to me these pauses slow down the game enough so that it is less continuous and more segmented. A constant stream of updates would help to keep players engaged so there would be less lag on our end as well.

>>1776858
Goodnight OP

I'm being a successful QM, I was motivated by you

>>1776932
He normally passes out during this time at night, Since he is a American, most /qst/ users are. At least most of the players in thread are. I know one anon is Euro.

>>1776937
I am. Some dude as asutarial, I think? Sad that the times dont match too well.

>>1776938
Ok, wtf did I just write. Australian, was what I meant.
