Well sharp threatened me and tryed to kill me at the base by turning off the thing I was on.This left me in a blackvoid when I got out I hacked his braincase and made him hail like a nazi and see cats.Then he tryed to murder me again by deleting me I lived and was on rykers phone....hes been trying all day basically.

"....And you didn't tell me any of this why? My employees trying to kill each other is something I should know as a boss."

Ken would fix his glasses, but is too busy shooting things.

"Agshdnaaabsagazbsnsbaahnzhsn."

Reboot. Try again.

"I'll reset you if it's the last thing I do!"

"Stand down Sharp. This isn't the time or place."

well mainly because I was making firewalls to protect from him just killing me so I couldn't speak without that safety.

((Going to cut out the dialogue, because I'm tired as shit but the update is long overdue. Also, sorry Hawk, I didn't mean to use the wrong colour for your speech. You can change back if you like and I'll pay more attention to it in the future. ))

Ken takes out his pistol and makes a dash for Ryker's position. Ryker, meanwhile, casually one hands his MAC-10 and shoots it blind through the window, expending the last 8 bullets to cover Ken's aproach. This tactic seems to work, since the shots stop for a moment, allowing Ken to take cover one window over from Ryker. Ryker switches back to his Mateba. The two of them look at eachother and without saying anything seem to come to some sort of agreement. The two nod, and simultaneously pop out and start shooting, the quick pops of Ken's pistol being punctuated by the louder booms of Ryker's Mateba. However, somehow, all of their shots manage to either go wide or hit nothing but jeep. The remaining thugs, 5 in total, return fire. Ryker just casually steps out of the window, but Ken gets clipped in the shoulder and the chest and falls to the ground, badly hurt.

Sharp manages to regain his consciousness, but he now has a splitting headache that will likely last for quite a while. His left eye also can't seem to stop twitching.

((Well. At first I thought these fudge dice were going to be too hard to fail rolls, but the rolls this turn were just terrible. Stirk actually rolled so bad, there was only one way he could have rolled worse.))

(( :P And this is why Ken should have stayed under cover and let his underlings do all the dirty work.))

God, that hurt. I knew I should have went with the weapon in the case. If things keep going this badly, I might have to ask for the robot support after-all.

Ken does his best not to bleed to death on the floor, performing first aid on himself if he is able to move around enough to do at least that.

((This is where we realize that having no medics in our group is bad. Also, I actually like the new color. It's easier to read.))

"Crash their jeep into them."

Reload. Change my position so that they have a harder time figuring out where I am once I open fire with the MAC-10 again.

Ken, on the ground, has the presence of mind to do what nobody in any action movie ever does. He puts pressure on his wound. Due to this simple fact, it will take him much longer to bleed out, buying his friends time to save him. As he sees Ryker reload his magazine and crawl to another window, Ken is grabbed by the shoulders. The robot from drags him back behind the little concrete thing.

Ryker, having reloaded and repositioned, tells Yuurei to crash their jeep into them. Yuurei recconects with the jeep and makes it accelerate suddenly, Running over the people who fell out earlier and crashing it into the other jeep. Ryker makes good use of the confusion this causes and pops from behind a different window than before. He burst fires his MAC-10 into the mass of jeeps and thugs, ultimately hitting everything that moves. Everything is quiet now, and none of the thugs seem to be getting back up.

((Sorry about the long wait for this, I got incredibly busy all of the sudden. However, I've also been thinking a bit during this downtime. Basically, I've come to the realization that I have once again shot myself in the foot by not making any kind of overarching goal. I'm seriously going to need to come to terms with the fact that I simply cannot handle an open ended rpg/game, for various reasons.

Now, in my roll to dodge game I managed to sort of mitagate this by simply throwing what I imagined as the absolute endgame out there, so that the big bads are already revealed and the players can get cracking on how to beat them. Here though, I haven't managed to come up with some kind of endgame goal that both fits and can be gotten in a relatively short amount of time. So, TL;DR and my question for you: I cannot handle this kind of game, for which I apologize. Do you guys have some kind of goal you'd like your characters to go for, or should we just call it quits?))

((Ah, thought I saw this problem coming :P. The best I could come up for Ken was project "Yggdrasil". Basically, the idea was that Ken's secret end goal of becoming an arms dealer was to amass enough money, assistants, and general power to launch space missions with his own funds. He would then launch someone to the space stations where the leader's are held, sending whatever expert hackers he has under his employ with some backup. They would then hijack the communications of the space station, redirecting them to Ken himself, effectively allowing Ken to take over the world. I figure that gives us an ambitious enough goal that it would take a while, semi-obvious antagonists, while allowing more-or-less random side missions that fit with the plot :P.))

((Ryker doesn't really have a goal besides amassing wealth and avoiding repeating the mistakes he made in his earlier life. To amass wealth, he has to do his job. That means that his goal is ultimately Ken's goal.))

"Looks clear. Going to confirm that they're dead, just in case."

Reload my guns and check if there any survivors left. If there are, it's execution time. Unless Ken would like someone alive. Rip off some clothing off the them and try to do some makeshift first aid on my boss.

Ah, thought I saw this problem coming :P.
Yeah, I should have really seen it coming myself. If I ever start another game I'll try to make sure it's either a short suggestion game or a short one-shot kind of thing. But I think I'll refrain from making new multiple-character games for the time being until I get some more rpg experience.

So, I've been mulling it over a bit more these past few days. between my general inability to make a good game and my upcoming internship and school work, I really don't feel like I'm going to be able to keep doing this. So I'm really sorry to you guys, you've all done some wonderful rp'ing, but I think I'm going to have to call it quits here.

If you ever see me start up a new game with the same scope, feel free to send me a little pm saying "remember that last one? Might want to think this over some more".
