My laptop charging cord is broken. I'm borrowing a public computer in my dorm lobby, but I don't think they'd appreciate me spending an hour or two every day monopolizing it for forum stuff.

So. Radio_Controlled gets control of Grate until I get back.

Reminder: Tomorrow is probably my last post for a few days, depending on circumstances. I might get one out on monday, but I'm not sure. We apologize for the inconvenience. The Piecewise Mainframe is undergoing routine maintenance.

Ok, I'm ashamed to admit that for a time I was so preoccupied with training up for my military interview that I neglected to pay attention to this monster of a game and since I didn't have the nerve to trawl through the threads to figure out what the hell is going on, I am hilariously far behind.

Can someone give me the summed up events of what happened up until now? I last posted before the time skip, so yeah... Really far behind...

Well, let's see. We have set up our defenses - the bunkers, the ships, the artillery, and the new base in the aurora (you were around for when the aurora was created, right?), and then we had a timeskip and the enemy attacked.

Then one quarter of our defenses blew up another quarter of our defenses (that would be the artillery and the bunkers, respectively), and people are dying left and right, but with the aid of our ships we managed to repel the first wave.

Now the second wave is incoming, and I fully expect one of our ships to randomly crash into the base, completing the war of the defenses and once again proving that the best defense is the one that has the best offense.

In the future, having any kind of artillery be fired by conventional-focused players using dynamic bonuses or decompensators would likely make it a godsend. We'd probably even pull off time on target.

Or Sods specially made for the purpose. Like sniper sods, but modified to have pretty much no physical stats and very highly boosted CON. And a decomp.

Cool. I'm not sure if I should get level ups or not though... Did everyone get a level up from the time skip or something?

I'm thinking that I'm in either the reserve squad or the command post defence, since that means that I'm not anywhere that messes up past events too much.

No. Well, one or two people might have, but usually you only got a bonus to a single skill.

Never said how much of a bonus, now I think about it...

I think it was something like either 3 points to skills or 5 points to stats or something in between (1 point to skills and 3 points to stats for example).

You can just say what you did during the timeskip or just say which of your skills and stats you want to boost and PW will give the appropriate bonus.

Cool. I'll just post the time skip details and mission deployment stuff here for Piecewise to see.

Bishop spent his time practicing his shooting skills mainly and helping out with mechanical stuff when needed. He also got the last of his auto protectors installed so he has full coverage as well as had battlesuit armor plating installed over the main areas of his suit, including the rocket pods.

For this battle, he cashed in his gauss rifle and rocket rifle, picked up a Sibilus rifle and a cutting laser, 2 spare clips for each weapon and also got an advanced kit for field repairs. He placed himself with the mobile reserve group so he could be utilized for heavy weapon deployment and onsite repairs.

I don't think PW wanted retroactives. He was rather insistent that if you didn't get it in then, you didn't get it at all.

I very much regretted not choosing to work during the timeskip like Teal did. I needed tokens way more than I needed 3 points of Conventional, really.
