OOC: He was obviously lying... He says he has a wife, but is saving himself for marriage... If he has a wife, they are married...
After Deamon had sent Black on his way, he came up to one of the men maning the turrets. Getting his attention, he handed the gunner several papers Deamon had been carrying. The gunner looked at them suspicoiusly, then looked at Deamon, then re-read the papers. Sighing, the gunner got off of the turret, and handed Deamon back his papers. With a smirk, Deamon took his papers and got into the gunner seat of the turret, then started to wait. OOC: I'm assuming there are turrets on the deck, and they can move in 360 degrees...

Mayhaps he got married right before the war? Meh. It's just amusing that the poor sap was blasted. Virgin or not. The fact that he brought that up as an excuse not to be killed was just.... classic.

OOC: I would think the turrets are designed to only shoot 180 degrees to prevent just the scenario I think you are plotting...

OOC: 180 degrees is basically 360 degrees, but only one side at a time... It seems easier to build it as 360, and what if an enemy is on the deck, would you not want turrets able to shot on the deck?

OOC: 180 degrees means that it could only fire outward, not inward. And if enemies got on deck you would use soldiers to force them off since you would be just as likely to blast the ship or your allies if you fire a heavy weapon at invaders. It would be like using a hammer to smash a fly that is on glass, you'll obliterate the important things to get a minor thing. This makes me wonder, what do the cannons shoot if they are turrets? There aren't any gatling gun type weapons yet (Although Dezil will get right on it!), and a rotating cannon turret doesn't sound overly useful...

OOC: Why can't their be gatling guns? The idea of a gatling gun is much simplier then magitek... And you don't even know what I'm planning (And what your thinking is wrong)

OOC: Cause Magitek relies on magic, which no one fully understands anyway, they just know how to harness it. I don't know, if there were gatling guns, wouldn't they be used on the field of battle rendering footsoldiers useless and bringing about an age of WWI style battle to the FF universe? (That is the most bizarre idea I ever thought of...) Gatling guns just seem to be too big a weapon concept to leave out. And now I'm interested to see what you idea is...

(OOC: How about this... the cannons are magitek cannons that fire tek lasers? That sound good to everyone? Reason they aren't used in normal combat is because you'd need a magitek engine to run them, so they're only practical on magitek armor. How's that? As for if they spin 180 or 360... someone flip a coin. If he does start blasting the ship, I already have a way to take care of it, besides, I doubt he'd do that, if his spins 360, so does every other turret on the deck, and he'd be outnumbered... and unable to dodge so long as he was using the cannons. So... doesn't really matter.

Edit: Come to think of that... one of the front liners should stick that in one of their messages kind of as a bit of a joke. He just got killed a virgin... and her house gets busted through by magitek or something while she's 'with' the milkman)
