Battlegroup 12 - Iron Hammer: Comms

[left thistle]

Awwwwww man

[iron arrow]

What calibre of thing could force him to stop so suddenly is scary man

[feral ivy]

I was just starting to get into the run of things... oh well. Hope Shack is ok

[iron arrow]

I really hope he'll be okay

with whatever it is

[rigid oar]

Yeah besst wishes to him

[left thistle]

Yeah

[hazy radish]

Orders are gone

MY ROLEPLAY

MY 8 PAGES LONG ROLEPLAY

😭

[left thistle]

NOT THE ROLEPLAY 😭

[rigid oar]

IT LIVES IN YOUR HEART FRENCH

[left thistle]

WAIT…

[rigid oar]

IT LIVES AS LONG AS YOU REMEBER IT

[left thistle]

Does this mean bg comms are going to close soon?

[hazy radish]

oh fuck

SAVE EVERYTHING YOU CAN KIDS

[left thistle]

AM I GOING TO LOSE MY FELLOW HAMMERS 😭

[rigid oar]

NOOOOOOOOOOO

[mighty osprey]

We’ll always have the google sheet

[rigid oar]

True

[hazy radish]

yup

[mighty osprey]

That things a fuckin repository of wierd memes and knowledge

[rigid oar]

ill probably change my sever tag to have iron hammer in it

just to remember

[hazy radish]

https://discord.com/channels/222052888531173386/1327290771048628278

orders here

phew

I uh

[iron arrow]

I'll ask later, maybe tomorrow if the people that ran trainings and were GM approved could still run games if they're willing

[hazy radish]

@muted eagle are you okay doing the tac-map posthumously ?

I am not sure if shack would approve, but just to see the orders that were given for this turn.

Only for IH here.

[rigid oar]

Yeah that's what I am hoping. Maybe I will have to gm after all.

[left thistle]

I mean ppl can always run them on the side, even without gm approval. It’s just they won’t count towards the unit history and rec

[glad hedge]

Maybe putting a 🔨 in our names is simple enough?

[muted eagle]

Yeah, sure

I'll get to it after I finish what I'm doing

[left thistle]

I do hope they keep the mission coms open until the next big campaign tho

[rigid oar]

Yeah but we have this massive discord bot might as well use it if they let us.

[hazy radish]

We only got days to live. If not just hours.

[rigid oar]

Thats also fair

As i scroll up i begin to see a sea of hammers

Let it spread

[glad hedge]

Same lol

[left thistle]

Gotta keep the spirit of hammer alive 😭

[rigid oar]

Gotta keep the spirit of gamlbing alive

[hazy radish]

That is a glorious idea, even if a bit much but thanks guys ❤️

[fluid viper]

I am going to try to figure out how to make a more limited version of one of these games. I don't know if I will run it here or somewhere else but you all would be invited. I would probably do like a 40-60 player limit. No way I could do 200+

[rigid oar]

Im proud to wear the hammer (￣^￣ )ゞ

[rapid pond]

French

We need finishing rp for warmongerer

[atomic basalt]

🔨

[rapid pond]

If you and Southpaw don’t do a final bit for Warmongerer I’ll be so sad

[hazy radish]

Yeah, we do. I'll compile a google doc with our RP don't you worry

[south ether]

Sad it ends this abruptly, but Sierra missles and quick ropes here i come

[muted eagle]

Once a hammer, always a hammer 🔨

[feral ivy]

Glad your keeping claim on the Dice call sign tho lol

[iron arrow]

[rough granite]

🔨

[left thistle]

Probs best to wait a tad, everyone is still in the “omg what’s happening phase”

[iron arrow]

Yeah but they'll be so many pst people doing the same later

[hazy radish]

[sleek cedar]

Time to make a ship called "Hammer Time" for the next campaign

[fluid viper]

We can burn out @hazy radish before we start by custom designing orbitals to make Iron Hammer a combined orbital/ground unit meant to pick up and move every 2-3 turns then redeploy.

[muted eagle]

Right, I may not make the map, paint.NET continues to allude me 😅

[hazy radish]

Celestial Hammer. @glad hedge 🤣

[thorn sand]

How does one put the happer in the server name? just : hammer: in the name without the space?

[muted eagle]

I'll give it a go in gimp before I give up actually

[hazy radish]

I just read after the "designing orbitals", oh god please no not this again

[hazy radish]

I just copy paste the emote 🔨 into the username

[glad hedge]

I am tempted 👀

[atomic basalt]

I'll be curious what the unit spread will be spread like after people spend their points on refits

[sleek cedar]

GiMP represent

[muted eagle]

Hmm... Yeah no, making TAC-COM maps is not my speciality 😅

[solar bear]

I came back and meta was nuke??

[thorn sand]

ja :{

[hazy radish]

yup. :(

[mighty osprey]

[muted eagle]

Hello Edited!

Shame I wasn't able to come say hi in the crossroads

[mighty osprey]

All good

Hey, I didn’t die

[muted eagle]

Next turn and I would've been right next to you

[mighty osprey]

Nice

[muted eagle]

[fierce dirge]

lol

[thorn sand]

Iron Hammer stronk!

=v=

[hazy radish]

There's this if you guys wanna

And if you guys got any feedback for me, well, send it lol

I'm aware of needing to ask for help more 🤣

[muted eagle]

=w=

[solar bear]

Good to see that you know...

[hazy radish]

Yeah... 😅

I am honnestly scared as this also means we will only see each other either in another mini-campaign or in C6 if it does happen

...and if it's like last time, only like 5 peeps max will be back in Iron Hammer from thoses that were already in it

Does that scare me ?

Yes.

I mean, I understand people switching to other BGs, doing what they want

No issues, no problems.

[gentle trench]

I said to Rabbit that as long as I play this game Rabbit will exist in some form or another

[hazy radish]

It's just thoses that have gone inactive. :(

Luna.da.tuna 😭

[gentle trench]

Endeavor to do the same

[mighty osprey]

Don’t worry boss, I ain’t going knowhere

[left thistle]

Well hopefully meta-comm will stay up, but yeah kinda hard to do our usual shenanigans there 😢

[hazy radish]

no more shenanigans

unless...

[left thistle]

😨

[left thistle]

I’m chronically online so I imagine I’ll be back

Maybe I’ll finally get around to joining the foxhole group, which was my original purpose in joining this server anyway lol

[thorn sand]

I'll try to be back for next time (I am going to hope I see the alert)

[neat fossil]

You’ll always be welcome over in Pathfinders, just leave the gambling at the door.

[muted eagle]

And neither am I boss

[solar bear]

https://tenor.com/view/orton-rko-randy-orton-the-viper-wwe-gif-13853292

[hazy radish]

I'll be honnest, like I did for this time, a ping will be thrown to thoses I've seen very often and be active in our chat

But that might aswell be everyone honnestly 🤣

[solar bear]

You are not getting hid of me @hazy radish

[hazy radish]

(for C6, I mean)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AjM55w-prfb7DxHSBA6Nby_VGdMBIpMzrYSrpenA62A/edit?usp=sharing

I'll drop this in case

I AM AWARE IT IS MESSY AND DISCORD THEMED THEN DOCS ONE

But I might get around to fixing it one day

[muted eagle]

C5 may be be over, but the iron hammers will always live on

[hazy radish]

omg i'vej ust seen this in our doc

100% approoved

[muted eagle]

Yep, I don't think any of us will be going so easily

[muted eagle]

Oh right, I needed to add something to the title

[muted eagle]

There we go

I added the last bit of it

[hazy radish]

OH COME ON RIGHT AS I GET THE .MP3 GOING

[muted eagle]

:p

[hazy radish]

Too late, that's kept like this for now xD

[left thistle]

Oof

[hazy radish]

...idea being an iron hammer discord, but honnestly not sure what'we do on it or if it's even, like, allowed or something

[muted eagle]

I don't think it's disallowed

[left thistle]

Got the reporter style voice down near the end there lol

[solar bear]

I lost the one you did for yourself... That thing had almost 2 minutes...

[neat fossil]

iirc it’s heavily discouraged as Shack doesn’t want to split the community.

[hazy radish]

you mean this one ?

[hazy radish]

Well, it's not like i'd be here for anything else then meta campaign tbh.

[muted eagle]

So discouraged, but not disallowed

[left thistle]

We better be keeping this up… don’t want all of us Vivian to get withdrawals 👀

Oh wow I should have cropped that first

Whoops

[solar bear]

That one kkkkk

[glad hedge]

Gotta make sure to keep the gamblinb addiction going into the next campaign

[muted eagle]

We should create a BG with an orbital next time :p

[hazy radish]

Checking every discord name and putting their real discord name (not just shown discord name) in comments just in case for pingies 👀

[hazy radish]

OH HAHAHA JUST GOT TO THE END

🤣

I forgot I had said that lmao

[solar bear]

kkkkkkkkkkk

[left thistle]

Why you coming for us like that 😠

[hazy radish]

😅

[muted eagle]

I can't wait to be able to get even more titles

Maybe one day I'll have more titles than French

[hazy radish]

hehehe

[muted eagle]

-# Totally part of the revolution against the monarchy and won't actually turn it back into a monarchy

[rigid oar]

🔨

[hazy radish]

sweats

Damn, can't even have a discord for banter ?

[neat fossil]

Nah, y’all can just drop random gambling memes every so often.

[hazy radish]

I'd honnestly not open sign-ups 'till the campaign opened, and would still allow everyone and anyone and wouldn't pressure people to join iron hammer again (even if I would ping 'em about it again)

Thing is, this discord is just wayyyyyyyyyy too big to just have our little corner of fun like we had in this chat.

This is what I like about meta campaign too.

Not just the stats, the units, the midrounds, the meta comm.
It's the comms, everyone having their own corner with their battlegroup, their own banter and fun. ❤️

[muted eagle]

Indeed

[neat fossil]

-w-

[muted eagle]

w<

[hazy radish]

w< !!!

So... What now ?

[left thistle]

^(>w<)^

[muted eagle]

Well, keep in contact with each other and wait for something to happen here I suppose

[hazy radish]

I guess...

How the fuck do we keep in contact with each other then

This discord's so big and we're so many

[neat fossil]

We’ll sit tight and remember Iron Hammer and Pathfinders.

[muted eagle]

I mean, I doubt it'd hurt to create a server for us, but idk

[left thistle]

Are discord dm group chats a thing we can’t rly do?

[muted eagle]

They have a max of 10 iirc

[left thistle]

Ah

Could we lobby to keep the current mission-comms up?

If there is going to be a pause in campaigns I don’t see why it couldn’t be a thing

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[neat fossil]

Uhh guys, I think I might’ve had a dream last night that that we had slow time in BG chats…

[hazy radish]

Maybe.

[muted eagle]

I think the discouraging is more so for game masters from reading it

[tribal elbow]

Not sure if you can even put slow mode in threads so I wouldn’t worry about it too much😆

[muted eagle]

I doubt they'd mind if we just created a server to keep in contact with each other

[hazy radish]

I mean, yeah.

[tribal elbow]

They aren’t strict on it like they were in the first couple campaigns. Go ahead if you want to

[hazy radish]

Honnestly, if I did make a server to keep us all up, it would be slightly armco themed, but it would neither be an "instant iron hammer ticket" nor an "only iron hammers" here.

And if I DID make such a server, which, I would never DARE to do under such rules, well, I'd probably put the link, hm, I don't know, somewhere on the sign-up ?

But, that's only if I did make one.

[tribal elbow]

French what upgrades are you planning on getting with your pay?👀

[hazy radish]

for real ? 👀

[tribal elbow]

I remember in the first couple campaigns they barely wanted us to make spreadsheets to organize people. It was a very different game and culture back then😆

[hazy radish]

And, ngl, no idea why having a server with some friends you made here outside of armco, a gigantic friggin server would be a problem 🤣

[hazy radish]

Jesus...

[tribal elbow]

It must have been C2 I was trying to join. Yeah they were hard against a lot of the organization stuff because they were really worried it would turn into command structure. Now of course we rely on it to even make the game function

[hazy radish]

Maybe somewhere on the right of all the grey "discord name, callsign, unit type", etc on our sign-up sheet.

Maaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyybe.

[hazy radish]

Jesus, so that's why c1 & c2 had google docs and not spreadsheets

[tribal elbow]

Yep it was a rough time😂

[hazy radish]

christ

[hazy radish]

thanks, just noticed this :P

this feels so calm now.

so @muted eagle no tac-map then ?

[muted eagle]

No

Though I can screenshot the orders if you want to do it tomorrow

Just to make sure we have access to them

[hazy radish]

sure

I'm up for it.

send 'em in dms

2 hours later this feels awfully quiet now.

[muted eagle]

Well, I should be off now

It's midnight afterall

[left thistle]

Oh right… time zones

[hazy radish]

1am here 😅

[left thistle]

Damn go to sleep y’all

[thorn sand]

[left thistle]

[hazy radish]

DONT YOU GUYS DARE ME TO GO TO SLEEP

[solar bear]

[thorn sand]

[left thistle]

[thorn sand]

[glad hedge]

[hazy radish]

[steady zephyr]

[muted eagle]

[hazy radish]

[hazy radish]

[muted eagle]

No

It's 1am for you french

Sleep

[hazy radish]

https://tenor.com/view/but-it-refused-meme-gif-3132063699765079917

I refuse !

In any case, I hope people take a look at the sign-up sheet again, I've added a certain idea to it if I may say.

[neat fossil]

your body collapses under the weight of your insomnia

[hazy radish]

Why am I being so vague ? BECAUSE PEOPLE TOLD ME IT USED TO BE ILLEGAL OKAY 🤣

It feels like i'm seeling alcoohol right after the prohibition ended, i'm like, "are you sure now ???"

[hazy radish]

lies.

i'm gonna take some orange juice :)

[thorn sand]

The sight of your bed, it fills you with tiredness.

[hazy radish]

I DONT EVEN SEE MY BED !

I can easily stay up for another hour >:)

[fluid viper]

You can't even type you silly sleepy baguette

[neat fossil]

The warmth of the couch fills you with comfort.

[hazy radish]

Yes I can !

[thorn sand]

Oh no! The blue light is getting to them! They're drowning us out with their indifference!
Quick! Do something?

[left thistle]

Oh wow the C5 mourning vc is still going

[hazy radish]

...yeah, I launched that. 🤣

[thorn sand]

You put a space in front of your punctuation! Obviously you are to addled to properly type!

[hazy radish]

ITS THE WAY YOURE SUPPOSED TO DO IT!!!

[fluid viper]

You also forgot a comma

[thorn sand]

WHERE'S THE APOSTROPHE FRENCHBOI?

[hazy radish]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[fluid viper]

Yes, I can!

[hazy radish]

I CAN STILL STAY ALIVE

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-super-saiyan-gif-24018228

[thorn sand]

Eww. Vegeta, truly?

[hazy radish]

I found him being angry better then goku being angry ngl.

• he's cool c'mon.

[left thistle]

Whoa… a vegeta hater? You’re a rare breed in this day and age

[hazy radish]

vewy tasty

[thorn sand]

Eh, I don't hate him, I just don't like his personality. I can understand how the character evolved, but most of the people in that show grate on my nerves to some degree.

[simple elm]

Man

[left thistle]

Oh yeah very fair. Esp into super a lot of the problems in the show they make for themselves

Which got pretty annoying to me

[hazy radish]

Oh. Yeah, so.

Good news: No need to worry about missing orders !

Bad news: Uhmm.... yeahhhhhhhhhh........

Are you okay dude @simple elm ?

[tired jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/tohru-honda-tohru-honda-fruits-basket-fruits-gif-1020039318310337767

[simple elm]

You okay Nalla?

[thorn sand]

Nalla?

[simple elm]

And I’m fine as I can be. Can’t really contact my boyfriend but I at least know now what they found

[hazy radish]

They found him, I hope ?

[simple elm]

Yeah? The medical staff didn’t lose him xD

[hazy radish]

Okay great 🤣

[simple elm]

I meant more just what exactly is going on with him

[thorn sand]

Is it fixable?

[simple elm]

probably?

He’s still going to be stuck in the ICU for a few days anyways

[gentle trench]

Stay safe, pass the regards of internet strangers to him when he’s better

[thorn sand]

I hope he recovers well then. I'm not experienced with this sort of deal, but I know anything involving that long of a stint in the ICU is serious.

[eager carbon]

I will always be in iron hammer

[left thistle]

For all the ppl just trickling in…
-# there is a special surprise in the Iron Hammer sign up sheet for any who wish to see (and I truly mean any)
