Battlegroup 12 - Iron Hammer: Comms

[left thistle]

Ahhh gotcha gotcha

[fluid viper]

We could do the motto in French. Makes it seem more fancy to most of us and gives a little credit to Frenchboi for helping run this.

[left thistle]

Ooooooh that’s good!

[hazy radish]

Oh, could do lol

But I prefer english so it's understood by everyone

Especially since apparently, according to Americans, french is fancy, I think

We're not fancy are we ?

Like, imagine having a motto for one of the battlegroups but each time you have to translate it lol

[fluid viper]

You are depicted as fancy and snooty in American media

[left thistle]

Guilty as charged 😂

[solar bear]

We could do Latin and no one can understand...

[hazy radish]

Yeah, and while we have a good mix of everything, we have a majority of american players I think 🤣

[left thistle]

-# you wouldn’t know from the times ppl are active

[fluid viper]

Minnesota is majority American and their state motto is in french

[hazy radish]

[solar bear]

I don't wanna know how you guys depict mine...

[left thistle]

New York’s is Latin lmao

[solar bear]

[fluid viper]

Fortunately for you I don't know where you are from Darkhen

[solar bear]

Brazil...

[left thistle]

Ah

Do you know of mordekaiser from league of legends?

[solar bear]

No

[hazy radish]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-im-taking-you-to-brazil-dragged-motorcycle-gif-17679601

that's one LoL thing I remember

[left thistle]

Eh nvm then, the circles of the internet I’m on are weird anyways 😅

[left thistle]

Oh yep that’s exactly what I was referencing lmao 🤣

[fluid viper]

Brazil is a country most Americans don't really think about.

You are probably going to get some stuff about a combination of crime, rainforests, deforestation, beach babes, and then in redneck America they will talk about how your country changes corn prices so much for us.

[hazy radish]

A country where the medals are made of chocolate
And the chocolate is made of crime

Not my joke, but I find it pretty funny 🤣

[solar bear]

Wtf?? kkkk

Where did hear that mate??

[hazy radish]

Internet historian I think ? let me find it

[solar bear]

Like... Is not wrong but damn kkkk

[hazy radish]

https://youtu.be/YcuofODMCMU?si=Spmd2p9kutgxm2W9&t=89

Ah swisslesticks, not on discord

But it comes from here.

ANYWAYS, Please vote here for thoses coming in 👀

[solar bear]

Ok... For a second I was concern that you guys just summarize with Rio and that it...

[hazy radish]

I sincerely hope to get a new motto, I'm not fond of the ol' on on the patch since we've never been a mechanized/heavy MBT unit, altho the first instance I tried, it just doesn't fit no more...

But we'll see 👀

[solar bear]

I forgot how we Brazilians took it as a mission to extinguish the Olympic Torch at all costs kkkk

[hazy radish]

yup lol

[fluid viper]

chaque problème est un clou

"every problem is a nail"

[hazy radish]

lol

add it to the logo/motto sheet I guess 👀

[left thistle]

Hey just be glad we’re doing this instead of expanding our illicit gambling ring armcomon

[hazy radish]

lol

[left thistle]

Honestly even in English this one’s rly cool

[hazy radish]

Close to the "if you have enough units anything is a nail" thing

[left thistle]

But/and this one can fit on the logo and still be readable

[hazy radish]

mmm true

could always have the english version of "Every problem is a nail" straight away too

Added on the sheet I guess lol

Oo, oo !

What about "A Hammer is always needed" or "You always need a Hammer" ?

Something like that

...but that's less the "new guys + accept everyone" idea and more of a play on the Iron Hammer name then anything 🤔

[left thistle]

Hmmmmmm I guess it kinda depends on the direction we want to go with it

Idk add it to the sheet for now, and when we go to vote we can force all these undecideds to stop being “happy to be here” >:)

[hazy radish]

hehe, we'll make them become...

very happy >:))))))

[left thistle]

he he he he >:)

[hazy radish]

looking again at the other propositions this one doesn't hold a candle to the humble iron one or the forge of many 🤣

@tardy blaze My sweet Dresden, can you please pin this for us ?

[onyx basalt]

Good morning everyone, here's Atlas' likely plan for next round:

-We'll drop out of the gate and move in a relative North by North-Easternly fashion. Optimally we want to place ourselves behind the predicted path of the enemy battlecruiser or between Fluffle and the enemy Battle Cruiser. We will also use our ships sensors and Comm-Intercepts to discover the unkown points of interests and reveal the enemy's intentions for next round.

-At the same time our fighter wing, Soteria Squadron, and the Light Freighter Black Pearl will peel off from formation to engage the BC and fighters directly.

-We will continue to move North to Nav Point one at full speed while engaging the enemy and providing cover for Fluffle and Civilian ships. Optimally, the enemy will follow us and keep their attention away from the gate and TF1 Victorum's arrival.

[hazy radish]

Notes

[tardy blaze]

Don't use "my sweet" with me again, and we have a deal 😛

[hazy radish]

Got it !

Guys, we need to find more cute ways to ask dresden that isn't "My sweet", any ideas ?

WAIT WE CAN SAY "MY HAMMER" SINCE HES THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH THE IRON HAMMER NAME

AYYYYYYYYYYYY

MY HAMMER

🤣

[tardy blaze]

Thats it. I am deleting the channel. Burn everything

[hazy radish]

nooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO

Not the gambling machine please !

[tardy blaze]

You forced my hand lol

[hazy radish]

I didn't call you "my sweet", just "my hammer" !

Completely different name !

[muted eagle]

Nooo! Not the gambling!

[hazy radish]

wha-

again ?

for visiblity ? for visibility.

[onyx basalt]

I hadn't posted here and not all of Iron Hammer visits our comms lol. Plus you're our passangers afterall. Want to keep you informed during your cruise

[hazy radish]

...you did

Dementia 🤣

[onyx basalt]

You'er right lmao

Apologies, removed

[hazy radish]

Good morning everyone, here's Atlas' likely plan for next round:

Just incase, a third time.

Make this a running gag or something. It's funny to me 🤣

[hazy radish]

could have kept it lol

we chill here

[left thistle]

Hey guys, just in case everyone missed it earlier, here’s Atlas’ new plan for next round:

-We'll drop out of the gate and move in a relative North by North-Easternly fashion. Optimally we want to place ourselves behind the predicted path of the enemy battlecruiser or between Fluffle and the enemy Battle Cruiser. We will also use our ships sensors and Comm-Intercepts to discover the unkown points of interests and reveal the enemy's intentions for next round.

-# I’m never one to pass up a bit

[median epoch]

(Definitely not final, discussion still ongoing, but seems likely)

[mighty osprey]

Well that’s kinda the thing, we’re mercenaries, our branding is way more important than in a military which has rules about what the name and logos can be, while we want something flashy and eye catching so people hire us

[hazy radish]

Ye ! :)

[hazy radish]

Thanks for putting it again Chinderella

[left thistle]

Of course! Wouldn’t want it to get buried 😂

[hazy radish]

Yup !

[hazy radish]

#meta-comm message

Confirmed one thing, when we'll deploy out of Atlas, VTOLs/IFVs/HVTOLs/etc won't be able to transport anyone

Only when they're unloaded (so, outside the orbital) will they be able to get on to transporting people

[hazy radish]

No VTOLs can have passengers

Eeehhh

@median epoch reformulate with the new knowledge i've given you in atlas comms please 🤣

[median epoch]

I delete. Bad Info. Only applied if you deploy from a Cargo Bay at a Spaceport.

[hazy radish]

alr

[tired jewel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utx5mzL8_yk

[median epoch]

To clarify from the earlier discussion:

If you're deploying from a cargo bay at a Starport: All units will appear next to the starport. Nothing loaded (only supply), nothing embarked. You're "Spawning in."

If you're deploying from a cargo bay on an Orbital: You can be carried by transports that are capable of docking with the Orbital, for the purpose of deploying to the surface. You're "Being woken up from Cryo Storage."

[hazy radish]

Yup.

And also check the pins lads 👀

[left thistle]

Okay wait are we hot dropping in then? Bc I always thought the plan was to offload at the starport.

[hazy radish]

Well plan is to offload at the starport, yes

but if the starport is taken

well... someone has to land right ?

[fluid viper]

We are a pretty good group to brawl for the space port if someone needs to

We have a fair bit of fighting power but not much self transport

[left thistle]

I guess so, not counting atlas and their troops/deployment capabilities, I think we can get 3 inf, Sven’s odts and a vehicle down on one turn

Also stormblessed will be with us too if they don’t all get blown out of the sky

[hazy radish]

ye, I believe :)

[odd lake]

Alright, which one of you monkeys wants a ride on the snacc wagon?

[glad hedge]

What kind of snacks we getting tho?

[hazy radish]

aren't you gonna haul supplies ?

[fluid viper]

I think if we get into an extended operation we may burn through the supplies we have real fast.

[iron arrow]

Well only the arty uses supplies and engis start with some of their own

[thorn sand]

Speaking of arty, I had a thought while reading the rules and what we know about the bots. The bombardment ability debuff can stack and the units being bombarded can only increase their defense values if a round passes without them being bombarded. Unfortunately for us, the bots have TBMs or some other long-range missile capability that may target our artillery and force them to move. So theoretically Beefcake and I could switch out bombarding a position and moving so that they never recover their defensive bonuses and we don’t get sniped.

Alternately I’m overthinking everything and this is pointless, the bots don’t use defense bonuses, or some other shenanigans renders all this moot.

[fluid viper]

We also have 2 engineers. It may be more viable for us to just dig you in for that +2 armor.

[median epoch]

Before we get there, I'll be updating Operation Deuce - for when shit hits the fan for our combined space deployment capabilities. With Storm's help, we should be able to get you all down there in two turns.

[left thistle]

Ooohh now that’s welcome news!

[hazy radish]

Was gonna wonder if the pinned poll is gonna end at some point

Well, it ends in 2 minutes

[hazy radish]

Think we calculated 6 supply burn maximum per turn earlier on

[hazy radish]

Could work, but that would mean logi truck & hvtol being occupied for the move to happen

meaning no logi truck (which is okay if we don't need supply urgently anywhere) and no HVTOL (which could be not okay if we need him to move a vehicle around to help retreat, or deploy something, etc)

'ere we go

Alright, old logo and change the motto on it if possible, good !

Ping has been thrown to J.Jordan, we'll see what he says

[left thistle]

Let’s hope

His unit isn’t activated so hopefully he’s still around 👀

[hazy radish]

Oh yeah, he's been pinged a few times 👀

Worst case scenario, I'll give a shot at editing the logo with the new motto

[odd lake]

Alright, i need options people: Focus on coordinating with arty, move engies or support medics?

[hazy radish]

where should the truck go, singular, more likely 🤣

Tbh do what you want but I feel early one you'll be better at keeping the arty blasting since they don't have a huge stock of supplies

medics get 4 medical supply, which only requires 1 small supply to restock
and engineers have 4 small supplies, which means they've got a bunch in stock for repairs
while arty can only fire twice before needing supplies

[odd lake]

dyslexia is a bitch sometimes 😂

[hazy radish]

it does says "the" it's just the "trucks" xD

Only need the motto vote now !

i'm playing GT4 (or, trying to with this emulator, at least) and i'll make the poll

[rigid oar]

So when it comes time to give orders do we just put them in this chat? or do we add a tab to the google sheet?

[hazy radish]

nono, that will be in mission orders

#1385617845831995402 message

over here !

Ooo, new mottos were added, I like "forge ahead".

do we have any other ideas before I get the polls going ?

yes, polls because discord polls can only do 10 answers at a time, and seeing how we got 12 suggestions in the sheet, imma need to make 2 polls lol

[left thistle]

Oh man there are a lot of good ones in there now 😭

[rigid oar]

Thats the aim

[hazy radish]

Gotta pick the best !

Best motto for the best battlegroup aye ? 👀

[left thistle]

👀👀👀

[hazy radish]

AAAH CHINDERELLA NO 🤣

[left thistle]

Is there something you aren’t saying French… hmmmmmmm 👀😂

[hazy radish]

you bunch of gamblers 🤣

[solar bear]

The first is me too...

[left thistle]

The addiction is so strong not even being in another bg can keep them away 😭

[hazy radish]

I swear if we get a motto that's in link with gambling in one way or another the next BG I make is gonna be named "Gambling Hammer" 🤣

[solar bear]

kkkkkkkkkkkkk

[left thistle]

At that point we gotta redraw the logo to have a die as the hammer’s head

[hazy radish]

GOD NO 🤣

I'm halfway tempted to not include gambling related mottos to avoid this possibility lmao

[solar bear]

Thats a good idea...

[hazy radish]

Fuck true it is @mighty osprey from the 212th lmaooo

Good to see she still keeps up 👀

[left thistle]

Whaaaaaaat??? I thought “I have a gambling addiction please help me” was a totally serious and legitimate submission for group motto

[hazy radish]

i'll keep "Always the right gamble" because it sounds right :P

[left thistle]

Full disclosure, a random number generator will be making all of my decisions this campaign if we land on that one

[hazy radish]

GOD NO 🤣

I have an idea for a motto with "Iron Will" but idk what else to add to it

"An Iron Will for a noble Hammer" ?

nono, "an iron will for a modest hammer" maybe ?

[solar bear]

An Iron Will tempered by fire

[left thistle]

“Strike with an Iron Will” ?

[hazy radish]

Oooo that slaps too

...that one feels less hammer-y

[left thistle]

Yeahhhhhh

[hazy radish]

Well, wew, we got quite a lot of mottos on our hands lol

Think it's time to make the polls 👀

[iron arrow]

forged in the fire ?

[left thistle]

I had the misfortune of pressing send a second slower than darkhen there 😭

[hazy radish]

...that could work

"Modest Hammers, forged in fire" ?

[left thistle]

That reminds me too much of the history channel show lol

[hazy radish]

Modest Hammers, forged in the heat of battle ?

but that seems too long

[left thistle]

Yeah it’s gotta be short and catchy imo

[hazy radish]

Mm, and fit on the patch

If it's too long to fit in we'll go for the 2nd most voted, and so on

[hazy radish]

I'll add that one in tho

AIGHT, nothing else ?

[left thistle]

Should we maybe do multiple rounds? And eliminate the bottom half each time to narrow it down?

As it is the votes are gonna get pretty spread out and something with like 3 votes could win lol

[iron arrow]

ik there's something else starting with forged i just can't think of it

[hazy radish]

Ooohhh truuuuuuue.

I mean, we do have multiple votes but...

We do have quite a lot of time on our hands don't we ?

MOTTO POLL TOURNEY LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🎉 🎉 🎉

[left thistle]

That we do… that we do

[mighty osprey]

I'll always be around boss

[rigid oar]

For legal purposes i put the gambling one in and it was... a joke.

[hazy radish]

Which gambling one ? the "PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE A GAMBLING ADDICTION" one ? xD

It is really funny lol

[rigid oar]

Yes

[hazy radish]

alr

[mighty osprey]

For legal purposes i put the other gambling one in and it was not a joke, i feverently believe it is a good motto

[rigid oar]

I legally for all intents and purposes do not have a gambling addiction 😉

[iron arrow]

thanks french idk how i kept missing the 's

[hazy radish]

It does fit quite well

[left thistle]

But what about illegally tho 👀

[rigid oar]

I totally dont play XCOM and take every shot even if its like 50%

We make those

[hazy radish]

Hm, I can make the polls either 24 hours or 3 days, not 2 days

How long should the motto polls be for the tourney you guys think ?

[rigid oar]

3 Days

[mighty osprey]

remember, you miss 100 percent of shots you don't take

[hazy radish]

I can always make it 3 days then cut it to 2

[rigid oar]

would suck for someone to forget to check discord a day and not have a chance to vote

[mighty osprey]

make 2 24 hour polls and add them up together

[iron arrow]

roll of the dice?

would that work?

[hazy radish]

lol

[rigid oar]

Making it three days and then cutting it short sounds like the best

just pin a comment that explains that it will close early

[hazy radish]

Yup, i'll make a pin explaining the motto poll tourney and link to the 2 polls

I don't wanna pin the 2 polls AND the explanation msg ngl

Unless dresden forces me to.

As for how i'll be making the groups, well...

RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

for group A and B

[rigid oar]

Look to be honest people in this discord do be scrolling. I got ping for a reaction to something i said 6 hours before and i have done the same thing to others. I would just pin the explanation

[hazy radish]

yeah x)

[left thistle]

The lurking is strong here fr

[median epoch]

Any time Atlas has a poll, I edit our pinned comment to have a link to that poll.

Seems to be working ok

[hazy radish]

so wait

do I make it multiple choice

or single choice ? >:)

If I make it single choice I'm making 4 groups and 4 polls 🤣

[hazy radish]

yep lol

[old lark]

Multiple

please I want the chaos

[hazy radish]

alr

but only if you do a cute pathfinders emote

to indeed confirm you're pathfinders

[rigid oar]

Single

Make it simple on you and force people to pick one

[hazy radish]

...how about a poll to determine if it's single or multiple... 🤣

I'm joking i'm joking.

[old lark]

french u kno me tho >:3

would I lie to you?

[hazy radish]

Nah I think multiple is good

[rigid oar]

Multiple increases the chance for ties which means more poles

[iron arrow]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithing_gods someone make a motto from one of these

[hazy radish]

Multiple for the 2 groups of polls
Then we put them in one group with singular vote, and watch the chaos

wait but if we do multiple there's no point in merging them into one vote

...okay this motto poll tournament is a silly idea 🤣

unless we do single vote, but there is just so many good mottos I can't force myself nor others to put singular choice

[rigid oar]

But we can only have one motto

[hazy radish]

i'll make the 2 group polls with multiple vote and if there's a tie we'll make a final one singular poll

[iron arrow]

Vulcan's own?

forgot thst guy hes great

[rigid oar]

so just one vote per person makes the most sense. Plus with two poles their is techinaclly two votes per person. also "We are Hephaestus hammer strike" or something like this

[hazy radish]

not sure we want one in link to a smithing god

[rigid oar]

GW will copy right strike us for being to similar to salamanders

[hazy radish]

BUT I DONT WANNA FORCE PEOPLE TO CHOOSE ONE 😭

[rigid oar]

Also yeah i feel that

[hazy radish]

I see so many good ones and I wanna vote for like HALF OF THEM 🤣

[rigid oar]

But we will have to at some point

[hazy radish]

Yes

So that's what I'm saying

[iron arrow]

ah fuck them rome predates them

[old lark]

How about an inverse poll? Vote for the ones you want to see dropped?

[hazy radish]

Multiple for the first time

If there's a tie, single one to root out the tie with the cream of the crop

If there's no tie, good.

[rigid oar]

That's why two of mine are inspired by john henry the working man trying to outwork a machine. Fitting for going against bots.

[hazy radish]

fuck me he's got me there

[rigid oar]

I know john henry isnt french but their is like a 12 minute animation i had to watch in like elementary school that was soooo good.

[hazy radish]

ay we're right bang on 20 motto proposals

imma fire up the multiple choice polls irrespective of cagereal's common sense

and cry and shit my pants when we'll get a very much predicted tie between like 17 mottos 🤣

[rigid oar]

Watching as french breaks down in the google sheet as i add one more john henry reference

[hazy radish]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[rigid oar]

Its ok i deleted the joke one so its still 20

[iron arrow]

Roll of the dice evened it out?

[rigid oar]

My joke one about gambling

[hazy radish]

no, i already had the joke deleted so it's 20 I think

[iron arrow]

Seems fitting

[hazy radish]

pain.

WELP.

[rigid oar]

No i just counted 20

[hazy radish]

No I counted 21 for me

can we not count ?

i'm coutning the "technically the original motto" in aswell

[rigid oar]

Im not counting origi

Just compare origin for which ever one wins

[hazy radish]

welp

[iron arrow]

you guys can count?

[rigid oar]

like a final showdown

[hazy radish]

Oh

[rigid oar]

As a CS graduate i usually let the computer count for me

[hazy radish]

Yeah that could work, having the "technically original motto" as a final boss or something

alr back to making polls

...with a hefty warning 🤣

[rigid oar]

Also for legel reasons or if my employeer sees that comment it was a joke. i can count and do math. 😉

[tired jewel]

Alright, my vote is in

😄

[rigid oar]

Well their is more votes to be had

[hazy radish]

FUC

I MADE THEM 24 HOURS LONG

I JUST REALIZED

NOPE

REMAKING THEM

🤣

aaaa fuck me.

[rigid oar]

Damn

[hazy radish]

yup

trolled

[hazy radish]

Ay since when are you an Iron Hammer ?! >:(

[rigid oar]

Oh yeah do non members get to vote? Do we need Iron Hammer voter ID?

[tired jewel]

We definitely dont

[hazy radish]

Only thoses with current Iron Hammer ID, or thoses who were once Iron Hammer (be it C3, or transfered from here to somewhere else this campaign)

And NOW, that's the polls done, phew.

[rigid oar]

Also its going to really funny if everyone only votes for the motto they put in

[hazy radish]

The 3rd option is "Before I let you beat me down I'd die with a hammer in my hand", it was too many caracter for the poll to handle.

[rigid oar]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not the john henry reference

[hazy radish]

Alright, now...

[solar bear]

I think @tired jewel can vote they are pretty much a honorary hammer since C3...

[hazy radish]

mmmmmmmm

trueeeeeeeeeee

we had great friendship

I agree

[rigid oar]

Wait shouldnt we get another poll

[hazy radish]

OH NOT AGAIN

xDDD

[rigid oar]

one to see if they can vote on the other polls

Only democracies finest here at iron hammer

[hazy radish]

nah unless they're iron hammer or named nalla no voting from anyone else

dictatorial decision

[rigid oar]

Fair

As a dictator you should have a rank though. Grand Hammer General Frenchboi

[hazy radish]

I likey.

[solar bear]

But he already have many...

[iron arrow]

i think we need 4 more polls to determine who can input the right code to be allowed to vote

[rigid oar]

The Grand Hammer General Frenchboi should have as many titles as they want

[left thistle]

Oh no…

[solar bear]

Hare his many ranks and tittles... Oh mighty Frenchboi...

We must plaster their unit with papers listing their titles.

[hazy radish]

Heya boys !

Little update so far of what's been happening:

1. Atlas transport is delayed due to our spawn point (aka Lussan Gate) being assaulted by a bot battleship, so it'll take more then what was initially thought to get on Elim. But we'll get there !
2. Thus, we do have some time to spare, and, we've voted on for a new logo or not, which we've decided to keep the old logo, but have a new motto on it !

And thus, here are 2 polls with the 20 new motto propositions for the battlegroup ! They've all been harvested from our sheet. 👀
#1383066706724913293 message
#1383066706724913293 message
You may vote multiple times, vote shall close in 2 days at around this time <t:1751040000:f>, so make sure to vote by then !
We will also have a final vote with only one vote allowed, to compare with the technically original motto which is "If you have enough units, anything is a nail" as a kind of "showdown", which will also be used to break the tie.
EDIT: We'll also most probably have more polls for the motto to "consolidate" the vote and make sure everyone has a say in it 👀

If you have any other questions, well, we're here !

And don't forget to often check the pins !

[hazy radish]

@tardy blaze Heyo, can you pin this & unpin the finished poll ? :D

[hazy radish]

I SWEAR I WRITE ONE FUTURE PINNED MESSAGE AND THIS STARTS AGAIN 🤣

[old lark]

First of his name, Hammer of Justice, He Who Strikes Hardest, Arbiter of the Iron Fist, Forge of the Eternal Compact

[iron arrow]

I will forget to check the pins

[hazy radish]

FUCK

I REALIZED IT RIGHT BEFORE YOU SAID IT

DONT forget, not forget xDD

ffs me

[hazy radish]

Thanks Dresden !

[muted eagle]

Amazing motto

Even if it doesn't become the iron hammers motto, I'll take it as the motto of my company :p

[hazy radish]

So far, "The forge of many" is in the lead, but we'll see where it goes 👀

I really do like the one ConsulManlius came up with, "With humble iron, we find diamonds", that one's really good imo

[muted eagle]

True

[muted eagle]

It'll be a BG I make regardless of which motto wins :p

[hazy radish]

Oh dear 🤣

[muted eagle]

We'll have gambling and the same chances to hit the enemy as in Xcom :p

[hazy radish]

oh no

and thus, with one single prompt from @glad hedge, and a single idea from me, we've created a monster

As you can tell, we have wayyyyy too much time on our hands here
-# plz get us to the surface quick, we’re losing our minds 😭

[hazy radish]

(and that's okay)

[median epoch]

we're trying, gonna do what we can

[muted eagle]

Or switch to something like JS... Hmm...

[hazy radish]

Coordinate with @neat fossil is all I wish for

I don't wanna see the split of the 2 versions continue 🤣

[muted eagle]

Right, time for github I suppose

If I can remember my password

@neat fossil Do you have a github account?

[solar bear]

Oh god... @hazy radish What have you done??

[hazy radish]

Typical Iron Hammer things !

Nothing more, nothing less !

[median epoch]

XD

[hazy radish]

ngl looking at the votes it hurts to see my 2 favorites being behind "every problem is a nail" 😭

[tired jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-yuru-camp-bonk-inuko-inuyama-aoi-gif-26248050

[median epoch]

I would have voted for the French version of "every problem is a nail" but I'm not IH, so I didn't vote

[tired jewel]

Same

[glad hedge]

"Forged in Fire" also has 4 votes!

[tired jewel]

Forged in Fire is good too

[muted eagle]

Clearly should be "Always the right gamble", best one there

[left thistle]

I so want “The forge of many” to win 😭

-# partially because I proposed it

My only problem with the “Forged in Fire” one is that it’s the exact title of a master chef-style forging competition show that used to air on tv and I just can’t stop associating the two 😂

[hazy radish]

I like it aswell, but I feel like the forge of many & humble iron one convey more the idea of "hey we're just humble folks who got their first campaign in here :D"

[hazy radish]

Me too 😭

[solar bear]

But you can vote... You're a honorary Hammer...

[hazy radish]

confirm honorary hammer

you've always been there helping us and being in the chat majority of the time

even reaching out to me when you made your bg

i'm happy with you voting

And also with dresden voting since he made the Iron Hammer name but, I'm unsure if he's gonna see this 👀

[median epoch]

Wait, Darkhen, you're NOT in Hammer?

I totally thought you were

[hazy radish]

(yes he is)

[median epoch]

oh I'm dumb

[hazy radish]

anyways gotta go to the gym again see you guys in a few hours

[median epoch]

nevermind

[solar bear]

kkkkk

[mighty osprey]

We can always do another poll with the top 4 or 5 from both

[hazy radish]

Mmmm...

I'll see 👀

I might do that

[left thistle]

Yes! run it again until we get the result we want I think multiple rounds would help consolidate the votes and give us a better chance to make sure everyone has at least some say in the process

[tired jewel]

Not like we're running out of time or anything yet

[left thistle]

I fear we’ll run out of sanity first

[hazy radish]

alright, sure, i'll do that then

[left thistle]

I mean that’s just one idea for if things are close, if there’s a clear run away favorite we probs don’t need to do all that

[median epoch]

[This is a running gag, info may be out of date by now]
Good morning everyone, here's Atlas' likely plan for next round:

-We'll drop out of the gate and move in a relative North by North-Easternly fashion. Optimally we want to place ourselves behind the predicted path of the enemy battlecruiser or between Fluffle and the enemy Battle Cruiser. We will also use our ships sensors and Comm-Intercepts to discover the unkown points of interests and reveal the enemy's intentions for next round.

-At the same time our fighter wing, Soteria Squadron, and the Light Freighter Black Pearl will peel off from formation to engage the BC and fighters directly.

-We will continue to move North to Nav Point one at full speed while engaging the enemy and providing cover for Fluffle and Civilian ships. Optimally, the enemy will follow us and keep their attention away from the gate and TF1 Victorum's arrival.
[This is a running gag, info may be out of date by now]

Just incase

[left thistle]

Smh people just don’t understand good literature these days

[mighty osprey]

Man I miss y’all

It’s so much fun in here 😭

[hazy radish]

Ay you can always still hang out :)

But you did the right thing going to the 212th logi, in the grand scheme of things, that allowed them to exist

But yeah, I miss you too, the 3rd lad to join in this BG, thy ultimate plan maker 😭

[muted eagle]

Well, 212th has 16 people, but by the time they got to 16, we were unfortunately already at 25

[median epoch]

@hazy radish Ey. Liked my novel? lol

[hazy radish]

huh, this is not atlas comms now is it

I won't lie, I was looking if anyone aboard atlas would mention ARMCOmon 🤣

[hazy radish]

I likey.

[median epoch]

lmao, I haven't read all of them yet, I don't think so

[hazy radish]

I've done a big surface reading, exept where there's big amount of text, no ARMCOmon mentionned

[median epoch]

😦 remind me for next time, and I'll include one

[hazy radish]

Nooo you don't need to

I just found it funny when it was asked in atlas so I thought someone would have included it 🤣

Do what you want with your roleplay.

[median epoch]

it fits in universe lol. Something about:
"These new ensigns are all addicted to some confounded new game. They're calling it ARMCOmon, and have moved a LOT of money around its lootbox system. If I can track down the creator before I deploy, I will."

[muted eagle]

-# You'll never take me alive!

[median epoch]

Eh, I already spoke in robot speak to our resident robot, I'm the Tac-Com, so might as well be the RP chameleon and interact with everyone.

[rigid oar]

Are the fleets doing orders right now?

[iron arrow]

Uh would any RP messages not be welcome in here?

[hazy radish]

no, you're good doing rp messages right here right now

heck we've had a whole rp conversation going a day or so ago with southpaw

go wild

[iron arrow]

i might make one or two can you tell i'm bored

[hazy radish]

bet, join the boredwagon 🤣

Some cope with gambling, others with polls, others with roleplay 🤣

[iron arrow]

lol

[fierce dirge]

Soon we will combine these three into the ultimate combo

[hazy radish]

Roleplay, with a poll at the end, and it's result gambled on by Vivian

[muted eagle]

It's easy to combine roleplay and gambling, just play d&d with a wild magic sorcerer :p

[neat fossil]

Unfortunately I don’t…

Right now, I’ve learnt classes and I’m planning to learn pygame so I can make an ARMCOmon with graphics.

[hazy radish]

fuck me, then the ARMCOmon game competition will not solve itself ?

We'll have 2 different games perpetually ?

Who's pokemon ARMCOmon blue & ARMCOmon red then ?

[neat fossil]

Heh

[median epoch]

let me know if there's something I can play without learning/downloading python

[neat fossil]

I mean, you don’t really need to learn python to play either ARMCOmon. Just download python and then paste in the code.

[neat fossil]

Eventually I’m thinking of making an ARMCOmon using pygame that’s not just gambling. It’s a long way off though.

[iron arrow]

Wait theres an Armcomon competition now?

[hazy radish]

...I guess there is

vivian with her version
derg with his version

Unless derg gets a github account

[iron arrow]

Every time i look, it somejow gets worse

[neat fossil]

I guess? I didn’t really intend for it to be…

[iron arrow]

What's next, armcomon nuzlocke tournaments?

[neat fossil]

I just wanted to put ARMCOmon onto a stupid little raspberry pi pico I have but it didn’t work. Then I decided to clean up the code… the rest is history.

[iron arrow]

oh btw does anyone here know what to do to make text super tiny?

Aboard the crew accommodation deck of the Endurance, several Harotians are gathered around a table playing Kabatji, a card game I definitely did not make up on the spot, Sgt Grenier is even bragging he has a 76 Sepoor flush, a winning hand, I think

Grenier: 'Yep you guys better loft now, my hands are burning rn, my cards are so good.
Wrede: Oh really Antoine? ''Were your hands burning like that when you dropped the package on Saphor V too?''
''stfu sabine '' Merveldt: ''Yeah no way you're getting away with that, Grenier'' Merveldt calls his supposed bluff with utmost confidence, Grenier freezes, then reluctantly revela his hand to be a 33 cintra, a losing hand, i'm told
Everyone celebrates their friend's downfall as just then, the company CO Lecler walks in
''Hey guys, got room ''for one more?'' ''yeah of course boss'' replies Merveld, as he begins to deal him in
Leclerc: ''So, I know it's been boring waiting this long but how's everyone been doing apart from that''
Wrede: 'Well it's off-putting with all the new faces here, I swear I caught a maintenance crew staring at our eyes this morning. Wish we were back with Ih, those guys were cool''
Arrojado: ''At least the 32nd are here, they're chill, though I guess no-one but the 5th knows them''
Merveldt: ''I agree with sabine it's, weird here, and on the ship the leader of this whole thing runs? Has anyone seen the big man by the way?
Grenier: ''Compans saw him down in the hangar earlier, well he thinks so anyway''
Leval ''By the way Nic, what's the word on the rest of the 9th?''
Leclerc: Well 1st Company is even more bored than us, despite pike wanting us here, the Culs are on another coffee run and won't be ready until we're back, the Viboras are still on their extended vacation, and the 51st and 21st are still getting set up'' in two messages bc discord no likey

Wrede: ''So we're the only ones bringing in any cash, no pressure then''
Leclerc: ''I'm sorry to hear about the awkwardness here, but we do have to be onboard for insertion so i'm sure you guys will endure, talking with the 32nd like Felix mentioned maybe, and Sabine i'll look into that crew tomorrow. but for now, hand me my deck Anton.
The Marines played at that table for quite some time, enjoying greatly their time together. much more than i'm enjoying this wait help ;-;

i'll say possibly cauliflower blue could work even better but that looks good

[left thistle]

red

[median epoch]

😠

[hazy radish]

HEY I WAS ASLEEP OKAY

[median epoch]

Red is reserved for the enemy. Are you secretly a bot?

[hazy radish]

...maybe 👀

But yeah Iron Hammer's always been red themed since the dawn of it's inception

Why red ?

...I dunno ask me when I made Iron Hammer in c3, i don't fucking know. I just like red. 🤣

[median epoch]

The orange is also "rust" or "iron oxide" which is fitting

[hazy radish]

TAC-COM's please mark down anyone who signed on but went MIA.

So just keep a list for us!

Also, don't you dare go MIA, or I don't know what I'll do.

(spoiler: it seems you won't get paid)

[left thistle]

Minus the potential confusion with enemies, the orange is growing on me

[hazy radish]

...I'm still gonna keep red for me.

I mean, we could always do a fucking poll on it, it's not like we don't have time at this point 🤣

But even if the ennemies were red too in C3 it didn't stop us from being red aswell so.

[median epoch]

Does French want a special "shoot me first" uniform?

[hazy radish]

For all intents and purposes, Iron Hammer is red, dark red even :)

[hazy radish]

Do you want a special "tirez moi dessus en premier" uniform ?

(same thing, but in french)

oui ou non?

[hazy radish]

[median epoch]

Operation Deuce

-# For when shit hits the fan

Atlas Deployment of Iron Hammer without access to a Spaceport.

[hazy radish]

o boy

[median epoch]

With some paradropping, and creative borrowing from STORM in exchange for free rent, we can get you all down there in 3-ish turns if we have to.

All the vehicles (not mechs) are interchangable, so if you want to change the order, that's up to you

[fluid viper]

Cool so all infantry down t1 and then vehicles being bulkier take a bit longer?

[median epoch]

We can put the Vehicles on HATs if we've got an airfield to land them on, but yea, the heavy vehicles will take extra time.

Hopefully, we can just take the port T1, and then land everyone else T2

[left thistle]

Wouldn’t paradropping in the city cause inf to take damage?

[median epoch]

If they're dropped on buildings, yes, but there should be some open ground to aim for.

Plan A ofc, is just:

"Picket Line Docks at Spaceport. BG12 disembarks. Done."

[fluid viper]

If we need to paradrop I think there is open space SW of the space port

[median epoch]

Yea, that was my guess too. It's still an outdated map though

[left thistle]

I think it’s any city map/area tbh. Pulled this from the rules sheet:

attempts to paradrop into forests or urban areas will cause your unit damage (1d4)

I think if we’re paradropping it’d have to be way out to the bottom left of the map to avoid that

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[hazy radish]

We got a map from shack in tac com messages a while ago

with no intel

but still

[hazy radish]

aye that seems fitting

[median epoch]

I'll be carefully clarifying with command where it's safe to drop

[left thistle]

Yeah more like that I believe, still doable as a last resort though for sure

[fluid viper]

I wonder if the Blue and red is areas under defender. Control and bot control

[left thistle]

Last intel was that friendly forces still held the starport, and that’s really all we know for right now

[median epoch]

it comes to that, it'll be up to you to volunteer for the dangerous paradrop, nobody's getting ordered

[hazy radish]

yeah, I hope we get the starport ngl

This paradropping operation looks head-ache inducing from here 😅

[median epoch]

With your other VTOLs, they could bring you down round 2

[fluid viper]

If I was infantry I would volunteer just to get guns on ground but as an engineer I see no point.

[median epoch]

yea, seems super dangerous as engi/medic

[fluid viper]

Unless we are coming in and the space port needs repairs

[median epoch]

"oops, that building was spikes, now you're dead"

[hazy radish]

yeah so can our VTOLs help in getting us down on the planet in case of "operation shit hit the fan" ?

i'm calling it "operation shit hit the fan" in here even if for you it's "operation deuce"

[left thistle]

Yeah no way the engi/medics should do it, one bad roll and their fully wiped lol

Are people still fighting on Male velon Creek still or did the bugs eat the planet?

[muted eagle]

No, the planet has been under super earth for quite some time now

[sharp wolf]

It has been liberated for quite a while, try as they might to try again

[eager lichen]

Reasonable concern, y'all are cooped up on the transports.

While some concern would be appreciated, this is also fine.

[warped axle]

don't despair, Iron Hammers, your chance to maybe die will be coming soon.

so, enjoy the complimentary pancake breakfast and the gambling!

[eager lichen]

NEVER FEAR, FOR I AM HERE,

To ensure you die a quick and dishonorable death. (Shot down while in transport)

(please don't get shot down)

[charred swift]

So I want to make sure I have this right, I'm apart of second wave, is that next weeks orders or the week after?

[muted eagle]

Well, depends how quickly atlas gets to Elim

[median epoch]

Assuming no interference, we should arrive in 2 rounds (next wednesday's orders). It was never really clear how the strategic travel worked.

[charred swift]

I just wanna make sure I don't miss it and get stuck in orbit, alone, lmao

[median epoch]

And that plan is a backup plan for if we can't hold the spaceport

We should be able to deploy you all next Wednesday with Plan A.

[tired jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/my-hero-academia-im-here-gif-11261063

[rigid oar]

Thats what i am confused about. Isnt our fleet about to engage the enemy? How many turns will it actually be before we can even make landfall? Also looking at the updated map i called it when i said Elim city was going to be under attack.

[median epoch]

Atlas is gonna run their blockade, we're not stopping, so much as taking pot shots as we fly by.

TF1 is bringing the big guns, and they're right behind us.

[tired jewel]

Yim, so hopefully... next turn?

[rigid oar]

Hopefully we don't get blown out of the sky

[median epoch]

We'll take some hits, but shouldn't take any losses. Even the Light Freighters have 3 health.

The big boys have 9

[fluid viper]

So long as nobody gets disabled and left behind

[left thistle]

We’re “in” one of those big boys right?

[median epoch]

Hmm. From the Frigate, it's got two 50% chances to get a crit, but a crit just disables a random system, not necessarily the engines.

The BC has a 25% of a crit

Plus, they might shoot at Fluffle instead

[fluid viper]

Or the civilian ship

[rigid oar]

Look im just asking if their is a chance the ship we are in gets critted and then rolls and gets like "Cargo bay hit" and we all vacum into space.

[median epoch]

0%

The exact location of the Battle Group isn't confirmed until we're "actively deploying you"

[rigid oar]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[median epoch]

So even if Atlas Wipes completely (which won't happen), you'll still be able to enter with the rest of the groups on the slow transports

[left thistle]

Yeah we’re currently shrödinger’s bg atm lmao

[hazy radish]

best to check in early, that screen is if we don't have a friendly starport to check in when atlas & us get to elim

[hazy radish]

we're shrodinger's battlegroup right now

[hazy radish]

AAAAH HE ALREADY SAID IT

well, doubly said now I guess 🤣

[left thistle]

Whoa is there an echo in here?

[hazy radish]

maybe!

[rigid oar]

maybe!

[iron arrow]

hey guys i think we're schrodinger's battlegroup

[fierce dirge]

When I left Phalanx, I thought I similarly joined a group that would enter the battle somewhat late. But than I read:

"Atlas is gonna run their blockade, we're not stopping, so much as taking pot shots as we fly by."

And I am beginning to get the feeling I mayhap, the power of gambling is getting too strong.

What are those wise words again? 99% of people stop before they reach their goal?

[hazy radish]

exactly

GAMBLING FOR THE WIN BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[limber cargo]

So what are we doing?

I haven’t checked back in a bit

[rigid oar]

We are running the blockade before dropping in Elim i believe

[iron arrow]

waiting

[left thistle]

Exactly 99% of gamblers quit before they hit it big! And we here at Iron Hammer always aim for the top!

[left thistle]

But also if that fails and Atlas blows up, we were never with them to begin with and were always in the second wave… right guys 👀

[rigid oar]

I guess you could say we’re… taking a gamble with this plan 😉

[fierce dirge]

The plan is to make the enemy cower and shiver.

[sharp wolf]

What about driving enemy spaceships into the front line, as a projectile?

[hazy radish]

There's the pins if you wanna catch up too, I'm trying to keep them somewhat up to date with our situation

But yeah, as others have said, we're waiting as atlas tries to go through the bot blockade !

[left thistle]

Oh also a poll on the new group motto! Don’t forget to do that

Very important stuff

[muted eagle]

Dice for the dice god!

[hazy radish]

Ye. :)

[rigid oar]

D6's for the D6 throne

[old lark]

Slots for the slots throne

[muted eagle]

I'm more a fan of d100's myself :p

[hazy radish]

meanwhile the motto vote, i'm still crying for theses

I can't include them in good faith with the other more voted propositions knowing theses only got 4 and 3 votes

[muted eagle]

I'm just praying that the one that edited suggested gets voted for :p

[left thistle]

It did 😭

[hazy radish]

I do like the choices that have been made, "forge ahead" and "forged in the fire" sound good

forged in the fire may be the one most voted motto that still somehow keeps the "hey new boys here" idea I liked in the mottos

One can only hope !

[muted eagle]

I'd go look at the vote but I can't be bothered to scroll up

[hazy radish]

pins

it's in the pins

:(

[muted eagle]

Ah, so it is

The link got cut out when I looked at it since I'm on my phone

[left thistle]

Oh yeah as a perma-mobile user it’s pretty annoying to navigate

[muted eagle]

Hell yeah, always the right gamble is going well with 5 votes

[hazy radish]

Ngl I would have voted for it, the only problem is that this meme might not carry over 🤣

[muted eagle]

I'll make sure it carries over

[hazy radish]

It's like the big ass title list I got, it's somewhat carried over but, it's a background running gag not a main one like it was back then

[hazy radish]

o no

[muted eagle]

My civilian aid centre for next campaign is just gonna be a casino

[hazy radish]

But you can only win health

...I mean, knowing healing is a d6...

[muted eagle]

I mean, a civilian aid centre is mostly an RP thing

Though can have benefits later down the road

From what it says

[hazy radish]

OOOOOOH

AY

YOU WANNA KNOW A FUN FACT FROM THIS ?

THIS ORIGINATES FROM IRON HAMMER !

[muted eagle]

Hell yeah

[rigid oar]

The only game I can think of that uses d100 is the old warhammer fantasy ttrpg.

[hazy radish]

Can clearly remember @tawny lynx with his medics using supply to aid civilians ! ❤️

And this DID get us information too !

[muted eagle]

Well there's rogue trader ttrpg, d&d wild magic too

[hazy radish]

(get pinged for your good idea urface, you are not immune to Iron Hammer propaganda & getting credited for things you did)

[rigid oar]

I forget that you can use a d100 for dnd wild magic. Probably cus i only play pathfinder.

[hazy radish]

He did it for 4 turns, leaving in the 5th one, and campaign ending on the 6th one

Man spent 2/3rd of his time healing civilians.

[onyx basalt]

Call of Cthulhu uses d100

[hazy radish]

I'm happy with a d20.

[rigid oar]

This is my d20. Their are many like it but this one is mine. My d20 is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

[tawny lynx]

Hey, had to do something since everyone else in the bg was doing too well at not getting shot. 😆

[fluid viper]

Old school D&D used to use it for skills (specifically thief skills), Openquest's core system uses it for skills, Mothership RPG (a horror game) uses d100s with crits appearing on same numbers (11, 22, 33, etc), d100 systems are actually pretty common.

Sorry I run a group dedicated to indie RPGs.

[median epoch]

There's also mishap chance for the Teleport spell.

D100

[rigid oar]

I remeber being a kid and watching a really bad dnd movie on scifi and some lady teleported into a concrete wall.

Also yeah i have heard of mothership. Want to play it sometime. Just like how ATLAS ship will carry us to saftey and will cause this conversation to not be off topic.

[eager carbon]

That is a mood haha

[hazy radish]

lol

Well, I just hope Atlas is doing well, the midrounds aren't very telling so far

[warped axle]

I think the mood for us right now is that we're gonna get rocked but we think our formation is strong and we can weather it and get to work fixing it on route to Elim. Its always possible an unlucky hit could disable an engine or something.

[hazy radish]

true but I believe

Just gotta hope aerospace is clearer afterwards

If not, we're kinda fucked

The more we advance the more this feels like a code black

[warped axle]

Yeah, this is a case black for sure

or at least a very dark maroon

this force at the gate is not insubstantial. there are still unknown sensor pings, likely other opfor assets of some kind. i still think TF1 is going to scrub them, but, this force is here to watch the gate and to deal w/ civs who wind up there thinking they can jump. Now that the bots know we can bust through w/ those pirate nav-codes they are going to call for back up.

[hazy radish]

This is looking like great fun for our taskforces

For our battlegroups ?

Ehm, not so much.

[warped axle]

i'd guess that once TF1 is through they'll push up to nav L-W1, which would cover the paths of the automated freighters. on the Elim side, Fluffle and Atlas assets can do the same, ideally providing a safe corridor for deployment. You guys'll be early though. cause we can deliver the hammers straight to the starport. or elsewhere with, what are we even calling it now? Op Shit's Creek?

[muted eagle]

Morning fellow iron hammers

[hazy radish]

Morning !

[hazy radish]

Shit Creek yeah.

At least on my side i'm calling it that lol

You lads are calling it Operation Deuce

[fierce dirge]

Goodmornin

[hazy radish]

Good morning !

[left thistle]

Not so much yet

[left thistle]

Morning!

-# whoops replied to the wrong person there lol

[rigid oar]

Morning

[hazy radish]

Morniiing.

[median epoch]

Morning Hammer

[muted eagle]

Morning

[jolly cloud]

Just to check in, we’re still hanging out order-free for the time being, right?

[muted eagle]

Yes

Don't think we need to post any orders until Atlas arrives at Elim

[jolly cloud]

Gotcha. And, when that does happen, my VTOL will be taken out of storage with no passengers or supply aboard, right?

[median epoch]

If you're deploying from a spaceport, yes.
No passengers. (You would have supply though)

If you deploy from space, you can bring a passenger.

[jolly cloud]

So would deploying from space be like, me deploying from one of Atlas’ VTOL bays?

Whereas from a spaceport would be waiting for an Atlas ship to make landfall?

Sorry, I’m sure I’m super behind on how all the deployment things work 😅

[median epoch]

Seems like you got it to me 🙂

[jolly cloud]

Okay phew

[solar bear]

Morning... What did I miss in the pass 2 days??

[median epoch]

Boat's rocking a bunch. Midround-events are still ongoing (and crazy)

[solar bear]

Just read the midround events... Thats a lot of firepower...

[tired jewel]

Just gotta wait for victorum to arrive and beat the shit out of those enemy orbitals

Looks like whoever suggested the bot inf might have armor was right 😭:

these things can take a beating

Is not a promising quote

[onyx basalt]

Looks like a target rich environment for you lot. Fingers crossed we make it to the Starport.

[fluid viper]

Thank God this group has a lot of AP

[south ether]

glad we have a lot of ap

[left thistle]

Oh for sure def gonna need to live up to our name here

[muted eagle]

The dice says we'll make it (17)

[median epoch]

Multiple ongoing polls now, but Intel suggests there may be some Lumaran Prisoners aboard the enemy BC.
Atlas is apparently the only TF that is capable of Boarding, and our vote is currently, (not final) to stay an extra turn and launch our boarders.

It'll also depend on how violent TF 1 wants to be. We're not gonna board if they don't care about the collateral damage.

[solar bear]

I don't know if Victorum will hold fire for the boarding action since we have a lot of troops to come in and that BC complicates that...

[iron arrow]

** Boredom RP Round two, Electric boogaloo**
Aboard the endurance, a few of the 9th are carrying various items from the cargo bay to be used by the ship's other sections

2nd Lieutenant Valtere holds a crate herself while making small talk with her fellow marines
''So Habert, that Icebergs bet didn't work out quite the way you said, you really thought they could beat the Giants? she shakes her head in disapproval
''Hey they only lost that game cause the ref made that horrible interference call and you know it''
''Mhm, whateever you say''
As the band passes one of the drop pod bays Sgt Terreros spots a familiar face
''Hey Dave! long time no see, how you doing? Storm still being a hardass about that SRM training?''
Pvt, Dave looks up from his SRM training tube after checking his kill ratio. ''oh hey, yaaaa. but if i miss that means people die, and i don't want to lose anyone. i know that we are drop troopers death isn't if but when. it's just .. after haven. seeing everyone in the 32nd chewed on by the bugs, even Lt. Atlas got his arm chewed after saving my ass from a bug i don't want to be the reason we lose some one because i missed a shot'' a six legged Lussan lizard lays on a table under a makeshift sun lamp belly plump like it just ate -
''Nah Dave no-one's going to die because of you, you're great, hey when we get to Elim you're going to nail those bastards!'' ''hey Terreros are you coming or what?'' ''Shit sorry Dave wish I could talk more but I've gotta run'' ''Oh ok then, see ya!'
With a final wave the Sergeant hurries bacj to the group, just making it into the turbolift to the mech bay in time

''Um Renée, Trp Reynier asks do you know anything about how we're dropping?''
''Nope, Fabien got it from Leclerc that we're not making drop plans till we get to the city, which will be awhile still, just hold on a little longer Lune, we'll get to do something eventually''
''Just think of Molphitar rookie, you'll be fine'' Habert adds before promptly getting elbowed by Valterre
*The band continues to assist wherever possible on the Endurance, with Habert receiving many more Elbows to the gut, and still doing much more than me help the 2nd
hey look it's in two messages again

And thank you to Yoger for writing Pvt Dave's dialogue

[hazy radish]

oh makes me think

end of the polls one sec

[solar bear]

We 3 new mottos to the next poll??

[hazy radish]

I guess so.

[ivory goblet]

So what's up gents

[hazy radish]

3 mottos with 7 votes
1 motto with 6 votes
1 motto with 5 votes
1 motto with 4 votes
4 motto with 3 votes
etc

[hazy radish]

Oh uh, nothing much, atlas fighting some stuff in orbital, we have to wait.

Also first motto poll's over, i'll be remaking the other one soon enough™

Trying to eat through my mushy pasta right now so... x)

[muted eagle]

I personally think always the right gamble should also be part of the next poll :p

[solar bear]

kkkkk

You need professional help Vivian...

[muted eagle]

The dice says I do not (11)

[solar bear]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[fluid viper]

Are 2 of the 7s the same thing in different languages?

[hazy radish]

...yeah

But different votees.

[mighty osprey]

It did have the second highest out of the second poll

[muted eagle]

Exactly

[mighty osprey]

it was also top four out of all the polls

[left thistle]

How many do we think we should include in the final poll? The top three and the og og motto?

[muted eagle]

I'd say top two of each poll

[mighty osprey]

top two of each poll and og og feels correct, five options, each of which was decently popular

or maybe the two tied, then the next most popular after that, and then top two of the second poll

[solar bear]

I think this is better..

[left thistle]

Ooooooor, we do every option that got more than 3 votes and make French do a third round of polling after that

[mighty osprey]

why are we torturing poor french?

[mighty osprey]

yeah since the next closest one was only behind by 1 vote, seems unfair to not have it in

[left thistle]

to rig it so that he/me can get the option we want

[left thistle]

The only stipulation I have with this one is that the top two in the first poll are the same thing in English and in French

[mighty osprey]

yeah thats why i think the second option is better, we get the two tied ones and then second place, and then top two of the second poll

[muted eagle]

Or have that one as the same option and a third poll if it wins to see if people want the english or french version more

[left thistle]

I think something like that would be simplest

Oh wait that’s the exact same thing as edited’s option lmao

[muted eagle]

Is it? 😅

[mighty osprey]

see but then that one automatically wins because if we combine the two votes it has twice the votes compared to the other stuff

[mighty osprey]

mostly, its basically just 4 options and a second polll vs 5 options

[muted eagle]

Fair enough

[mighty osprey]

its one more poll for, not much change

[muted eagle]

But dice for the dice god, polls for the poll throne and hammers for the uh... hammer forge...? I guess...

[mighty osprey]

I think the best list is "every problem is a nail (both french and english versions)" "Forge Ahead" "Forged in fire" and "always the right gamble"

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[mighty osprey]

sigh Vivian

[median epoch]

I'm currently fighting for the ability to Tow the Tormentor along with us while we fight inside so we can keep our deployment schedule. No answer yet 😦

[muted eagle]

:p

[hazy radish]

The Humble Iron one...

[left thistle]

If we do a five option poll we have to make it one that you can have multiple votes I think

[mighty osprey]

I guess?, i dont see why

[left thistle]

I’m trying French, don’t think we can stack the deck on this one 😭

[muted eagle]

Could always do a ranked choice vote I suppose

[hazy radish]

People voted for english while some voted for french, I think it's best both aren't combined

[left thistle]

It’s a discord mechanics thing lol

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[hazy radish]

I'm thinkin' the 3 with 7 votes, and the 2 who got 6 & 5 votes.

So that would be... looks up the polls

"Chaque problème est un clou"
"Every problem is a nail"
"Forge ahead"
"Always the right Gamble"
"Forged in the fire"

[mighty osprey]

Seems like the best one

[muted eagle]

If you want me to, I could always create a quick ranked choice vote rather than using discord's polls

[hazy radish]

And the technically OG motto from Crazy Axx

[fluid viper]

Is it only vote for 1 or vote for as many as you like?

[hazy radish]

aka "If you have enough units, anything is a nail"

[hazy radish]

Oh this one's gonna be 1 vote.

[left thistle]

Would we do a final round after that? With the top 4 left, where everyone only gets one vote

[hazy radish]

I think this one is gonna be one vote and then if we somehow tie again, we'll do another one

[muted eagle]

The main reason I'm saying a ranked choice vote is so that the one we do end up getting is infact the most liked out of the 5

[mighty osprey]

yeah i don't really undersand what you mean by "discord mechanic" when you say multiple votes is better Chin

[hazy radish]

...ranked choice vote ?

Ooooh I see

avoiding the shitty first past the post vote system

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[hazy radish]

uhmm

[left thistle]

I thought you could only do 4 option polls for single choice voting, seems like I’m wrong lol

[hazy radish]

could always do multiple choice then one choice lmao

but that might end up literally being the same fcking result

...so maybe not

[muted eagle]

My preference is still ranked choice :p

[left thistle]

cries in american

[mighty osprey]

Choice ranked sounds fine to me

[hazy radish]

Alright, sounds good to me too then.

@muted eagle Make the thing.

[hazy radish]

with theses + "If you have enough units, anything is a nail"

[mighty osprey]

orrrrr we remove the ones with the lowest votes each time and do like 50 polls

[muted eagle]

Give me a couple minutes, helldiving rn

[hazy radish]

FOR SUPER EARTH

[mighty osprey]

apparently anyone can make a poll

[hazy radish]

I mean we COULD, Atlas is looking to board and keep fighting so 🤣

but if we can avoid the motto thing taking 7854 years...

[mighty osprey]

yeah ya'll do have time on your hands...

[muted eagle]

Time to make a ranked choice vote in the spreadsheet that'll take an hour or two to make

[left thistle]

Wait if the bots board Picket Line, would that mean they’re going to face the entirety of IH?

[hazy radish]

No, we're cargo

• we're undeclared cargo

[fluid viper]

If Atlas is willing I would prefer to get into the fight on the ground sooner rather then later.

[hazy radish]

For now we're literally the illegal immigrants in the trunk of the bus rn

and it's only when Atlas recognizes us we'll be in the seats of the bus

But even then we'll only be able to watch from there, if I understood correctly.

[hazy radish]

So would I but uh

[mighty osprey]

212th is also discussing if we self deploy or not

[hazy radish]

#1382037040438181950 message

That ain't happening.

[fluid viper]

Isn't that Victorums Job next turn?

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[hazy radish]

No but their main argument is the life signs that have been detected aboard

[muted eagle]

I think atlas is staying so they can board the battlecruiser

[hazy radish]

Victorum can't board for shit, while atlas can

I'm honnestly thinking thoses aren't civies, just the things making up the shitty boarding bots and they somehow exert life signs

But hey, to each their own I guess.

[muted eagle]

Or the bots are made a similar way they are in helldivers

[fluid viper]

I think Atlas staying behind to fight here is a strategic mistake. I think we need the space port vs we want to board the BC.

But I am not impartial viewer

[muted eagle]

I personally agree with them staying behind, purely for an opportunity to potentially save civilians

[left thistle]

You’re preaching to a choir here I think

[fluid viper]

How many more die in Elim City?

[left thistle]

But also think of the civilians down on the planet that will be suffering for every minute we don’t secure the space port

[mighty osprey]

not securing the spaceport basically means all our ground forces are impotent for another several turns

[left thistle]

And the fact that if we don’t secure the space port we could very feasibly still be driven from the system and then we save no one

[fluid viper]

We don't even know if there are civilians in the BC they may be a crew.

[solar bear]

My biggest concern at the moment is Storm... They will be alone if Atlas stay and fight...

[muted eagle]

Well, it's certainly a difficult choice, I don't know which option will save the most civilians, we could save more civilians by atlas staying behind, we might not

[left thistle]

Fr, it’s honestly a great narrative conundrum for this campaign

[mighty osprey]

yeah thats my worry as well, currently 212th is thinking about self deploying to try and assist them on the ground

[solar bear]

That can lead to a lot of KIAs...

[mighty osprey]

yep...

[hazy radish]

Fluffle ?

[hazy radish]

Otherwise I can only agree.

[left thistle]

Does fluffle have any ground capabilities tho?

[muted eagle]

I'm not sure if atlas can even make it next turn

[left thistle]

They’re speed 2 no?

[muted eagle]

Yes

I'm not entirely sure how orbitals work, but they're about 3 hexagons from the entry point to nav field-1

[solar bear]

4 LM
1 Infantry
1 Medic

This is not a lot... They have more aircraft than ground...

[left thistle]

Oh then it’d take them two turns I think?

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[left thistle]

Since they’d need to leave this nav point in order to get the “fast travel” mode between through unoccupied nav points

[muted eagle]

Whereas fluffle can get there next turn

[left thistle]

Hmmmm imo that means we shouldn’t stop even more, since Storm is deploying next turn and any delay here would put us 3+ turns away from being able to help them

[mighty osprey]

Storm not having fire support is really bad

[muted eagle]

Hello Iron Hammers!
I, Vivian, and it's totally not Frenchboi writing it for me because I'm not good at making summaries, have made the (hopefully) last poll on this website, to know what's gonna be our new motto !
https://app.rankedvote.co/rv/i5qvdm9aermynllhi7/vote

This website allows for a better system then first past the post, basically allowing for preference choice (so, 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, etc) and thus a fair-er representation of what people really want, then having multiple equal votes or one singular votes.
If there is a tie, there will be a discord poll with single choice ran, hopefully for the last time.

As for news of the front !
Currently, Atlas has been engaged by the meanie bots as seen in the midround events, and are currently debating whether to stay fight or go through to Elim City. I (as in ~~Frenchboi, remember, it's me writing this :D not ~~ definitely Vivian, ) think personally the best decision is to go get the starport at all costs so we avoid a costly paradrop, but, well, that's just my opinion. We'll let Atlas make their own decision.
We are still waiting, as most other Battlegroups really.
Storm has made it through to Elim City orbit ! However, they've got an orbital waiting for them up there...

And I think that's it! This was I, Vivian, and totally not Frenchboi!

Don't forget to often check the pins !
