it's not so bad if you turn it to max replies per page or just use the links to the actual posts where things are going on. Granted I'm being a bit of a hypocrite when I say that due to not even finishing myself I still have to read Reudh's and Tomio's turns and then ALL the stories I skipped while reading...

You can pretty much skip my turn. Not much happened, I just bunkered up.

Edit: I probably got Fischer in her current state. My apologies.

It's not so bad if you started early and just kept up.  See if someone can lend you a time machine.  Just don't post in the past please, we don't want any temporal paradoxes making this thread more confusing.

This is quite a big thread, so have fun!

Continuing with Aegis Operations...

The "Operators"!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

WHO IS IN COMMAND?

Aegis Operations is lead by a group of 5 people, "Operators", who all command their own branch, and look similar in terms of clothing. They all wear formal attire, unless out in the field where they wear more practical clothing, plus a surgeon's mask and sunglasses, and their information is hidden in a server completely separate from the normal database used by Aegis Ops. Finally, they all assume a nickname in front of the epithet "Operator". (Ex. Operator Logs/Grove/WhateverTheHeck)

The purpose of this is to assume anonymity. Operators who are out on the field are usually hidden with false information, attire similar to normal researchers or soldiers, and usually act differently than how they usually are. This allows them to analyze their employee's performance, as being there blatantly to review workers would obviously make them work more efficiently than if their leader wasn't watching them. Also, when Operators are on the battlefield, they are protected from becoming a target of high priority.

With the Operators come their respective branches; Defense, Research and Development, Economics, Resource Gathering and Allocation, and Diplomacy and Trade. When an important decision must be made they all meet up and discuss options before deciding on a decision. Operators stay at the top for five years before having to resign and grant the position to another, they are usually left alone to quit the organization or continue working as a lesser worker afterwards.  When an Operator is deemed unworthy of the title, they are killed and their position is left vacant and filled at an earlier date.

This system is under the criticism in which there is the likelihood that a sleeper agent may activate if they ever reach Operator status and screw over the entire organization. However, the majority of Operators need to agree for an important decision, and the Operators are required to analyze the actions of other Operators for suspicious activity. Most Operators have been known to excel in the branch in which they control, as one needs to be apart of the branch they wish to control.

Thoughts?

I won't make any statments that aren't there, but it sounds like they're probably a newcomer and any involvement they have would probably be on behalf of an employer (most likely Joseph) or their own company interests in locations major fighting is taking place in the timewar's future battlegrounds like Sewaturet or near the Eris Facility near the ruins of Spearbreakers.

[Lennoxite]

Aegis Ops being a R&D organization looking for a profit, any involvement in the war would most likely be supplying new breakthroughs in warfare technology to the the side that is willing to give them the most money. In this case, joining the war on one side will warrant attacks from the other. Most likely, they will begin supplying new weapons to one side of the future time war and will start getting attacked by the other side.

My current idea for the first story concerning Aegis Ops will revolve around the recent decision to join the (future) time war, the flaw of the current leadership system, and the company's first tangle with Parasol/Ballpoint/Eris/Stone Inc.. Needless to say, this new company is going to learn just how screwed it is when it joins the war.

[Splint]

I'd say consult Mr. Frog and Talvieno on your group regardless. They'd be of greater help than I.

[Aseaheru]

I can just see people in Stone INC going "who are these people and why are they so clueless about this war? dont they know there is a war on?"

[Splint]

It's more of a clash between particularly powerful corporations that happened to suck in the towns and cities near the battlegrounds. Technically the only "legal" war on is between the states manipulated by Joseph into attacking Sewaturet as part of a ploy to get Ballpoint off his back so he can focus on dealing with Parasol first.

Hey guys, I had a sudden idea of brilliance.

We could start up a 'Spearbreakers Wiki' that explains all of the characters, concepts and companies, and the universe behind it. We could host it on Wikia, which is free I think.

We've already got a fair amount of art to go with it too, from our resident amazing artists.

If someone doesn't mind maintaining it (as I have no idea how that shit works,) When I get around to starting the next game ideas discussion thread and here on the OP I'll gladly provide a link.
