New plan: Everyone hits the duck. That bitch will murder us all if we let it.

I swear to God, I'm going to do this. I mean it.

EDIT: Okay, those bits with Nagarai and the duck? That's just me rubbing it in.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Very nice. I probably deserved that. What I'm planning is that, next turn, Impact will wake up fairly late, so he'll be able to participate, but not to command. So Pierce'll have that turn all to himself (Immortalized in the picture book: PIERCE'S BIG MOMENT: AN INSPRIATIONAL STORY, FOR ASPIRING TRAINERS). And then both Pierce and Drac will shut up about getting to give orders and leave that to the professionals.

Dracorion · 04-30-2010, 09:26 PM

And maybe AB will start introducing only male characters!

Geminex · 04-30-2010, 09:35 PM

Witty. Very witty. One fallacy, though.

AB's massive libido would have to dwindle for him to resist introducing more large-breasted female characters.

For you to shut up about leadership, all I have to do is
a) stop doing all the thinking and watch you screw everything up
b) also remind you that, unless Pierce has a better idea (which he won't), he goes along with what Impact suggests
c) outline the consequences of not backing down. See, mind control is valuable. I wouldn't waste it on allies that're nice and (at face value) obedient. I would, however, see its use as an investment if there were any teammates with... rebellious tendencies, that I could tame.

Why aren't you doing this?

Hey, you don't know for sure.

Meh. It was probably going to come down to that anyway.

If it helps, I'm coming down on leadership now because rather soon Pierce is going to have bigger worries on his mind. Then it'll just be Renny and Impact competing. Sure, he might try to get back in the race at some point, but by then it'll probably be too late.

...

Ok, the way I see it, we can keep slanging back and forth, or we can work out a deal now. The slanging's fun, but I don't have much time, so how about this?

For the rest of this, and the next mission, Pierce and Impact will share leadership (if they're on the same side, that is). Each gets an equal share, for every round one spends giving orders, the other will as well.

Provided that they're on the same side, I'll keep using my magnificent brain to think up fun plans, no matter whose turn it is to give orders. Pierce can effectively take credit for my plans, though some input from you would be useful too, so they won't be only mine.

I'll keep doing this during your sidequest, when Pierce leads alone. Again, my plans, Pierce's credit. Additionally, I can't promise that I'll agree with every decision Pierce makes, but I'll be a bit more obedient than I've been this sidequest.

In return, Pierce will give up his leadership aspirations for the rest of the RP (not, you understand, due to reasons of competence; it'll be understood that he's still good at leading), and will support Impact even more than he currently is (which isn't a lot at all).

I decided to take this particular argument to PMs, because I think it best if Menarker doesn't know how Geminex and I are going to plan Renny's demise (because that's the only way Impact will be getting Pierce's full and unconditional support).

Geminex · 05-01-2010, 12:08 AM

No, Drac! Killing or otherwise eliminating Renny would be highly, highly immoral! How could you even dream of doing such a thing? I refuse to be party to such an evil, albeit highly profitable enterprise!

Menarker · 05-01-2010, 12:22 AM

... and you guys wonder why I try to get good upgrades in case I get ganged up like a red-headed stepchild. Talks about my death is freaking depressing. T.T

Anyhow, back from work, so making my post since Whitney's transferal has been finalized and all.

Geminex · 05-01-2010, 01:47 AM

What do you work as?

And no, we don't wonder why you get upgrades, we try to stop you from getting good upgrades, so we can gang up on you like etc. etc...

I've started writing Impact's socially awkward omake, but I'll wait until AB's next duty day to post it.
