Decided to start a poll about it. Do you guys want intermissions, with both backstories and the events after a Chapter?

Yes. Backstories about our characters, which may answer questions? Seeing the world after the destructive chapters? Yes, please!
- 2 (40%)
Nah. We should just start Chapter 2/3/5/291, and put background info in the Chapter itself.
- 0 (0%)
Why ask, Greatness? It's your game, if you want this sort of thing, just do it already.

((Definitely going to have to be tomorrow. Nothing major's really happened, but I feel like I'll be able to type for something up for 8-10 people tomorrow. Besides, it'll give even more of a chance for LordPorkins and Ragenaut to post an action, or post their dropping out if it calls for it.))

EDIT: Sorry for the delay, guys! Just running a bit late. It'll be up by tomorrow morning for sure.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Boss Battles
Round 1: Scouting the Frozen Wastes
Hoth VI, Hoth System
Noon, Cloudy, 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

After that briefing from Jess Warner, the Wiki Warriors stand there, bewildered. Did he just say...what they think he just said? Yes, yes he did. After a silence of a minute or two, BiggerFish speaks up first, his tone of voice unsure of itself. "Wait. Was Vader actually on Hoth?", he says to Jess Warner, before getting a simple response from Logan, "Yep. He saw the Falcon leave at the end of the battle.". BiggerFish nods, before a shiver takes over his body. He can then hear Jaws slap himself in the face, before asking if they have snowsuits. [Equipment Check 9] Without another word said, a purple light envelops the inside of the Helicopter, before a side door opens up, and a crate disgracefully drops onto the snow. Inside are around 9 Snowsuits. All except Hawk put out a Snowsuit, Hawk not needing to due to his Robe. BiggerFish throws on the Snowsuit, and he feels quite satisfied with the warmth. BiggerFish walks back to the group, who are asking questions about the situation.

PirateJoe holds up a hand before walking forward, his brow furrowed into what seems like frustrated confusion. He walks forward, before saying, "So wait, you're telling me we're NOT supposed to kill each other, and instead have to kill Darth Vader?", the only reaction from the 4 being murmurs of agreement and affirmation. PirateJoe's only reaction being to sigh, before walking back. He tells the group to follow him when they're ready, before walking over to the firefight. ...At the battle at Echo Base, PirateJoe arrives on top of a cliff, close to the Ion Cannon. He looks down at the large cluster of plasma fire, looking to the large AT-ATs still walking to the base as hordes of Stormtroopers rush Echo Base down. At this, PirateJoe tries to locate any of the members of the 501st, or even Vader himself. [3-2-2(Chaos & Not Knowing the Appearence of the 501st)] The sheer amount of Blaster fire actually temporarily blinds him! As he rubs his eyes, he realizes he didn't ask or stick around to see what the members of Vader's Fist actually look like. His allies will tell him, however, so he merely crouches down and waits.

NRDL nods, the snow crunching under his feet as he ponders this. Finally, he looks up and says, "Hm, so no immediate conflict then. That's fine. Always wanted to fight Vader. Kinda.", with a smile on his face. He would have looked for warmth, but then the crate fell containing the snowsuit. Putting on the combination Jacket, Gloves, and other assorted clothing items, NRDL nods his head before walking to the group, keeping his Armor strapped to his back as he makes light conversation with his new allies.

Person groups up with the team, same as everyone else as they gather to discuss strategy. Unlike everyone else, however, Person explicitly formulates a plan. "So, how should we go about this then?", he says, before glancing to Abstract's MEKA and then quickly continuing with, "I'd recommend we get ourselves some vehicles, as our targets are probably spread out across the battlefield. Besides that, we're bound to be outnumbered out there and some heavy firepower would not be unwelcome.", the rest of the group agreeing as they look out to the distance, where PirateJoe ran off to.

Abstract pilots his MEKA forward, his brow furrowed slightly as the hulking mech crushes the snow underneath it's feet. He then says, "Yeah, me and everyone else need details. We know who Darth Vader is, but who are the 501st Legion? What do they look like, and what is it, exactly, that we're going to try to accomplish?", leading to the people inside the Helicopter to laugh slightly before Jess answers. "Well, the 501st Legion are a group of elite Clonetroopers, the only Clones in the Empire's employ. I'll get Jaws to show you the 5 members that you're going after. And if any of you are Star Wars buffs or Wookiepedia goers that knows the ins and outs of every member...it appears these 5 haven't been documented yet. Completely original, I'm surprised.", he says, and purple light once again envelops the inside of the Helicopter before the 9 Wiki-Warriors suddenly get a vision. It flashes between their eyes, showing them 5 respective people. They're all wearing modified Stormtrooper Armor. One has a Cycler Rifle, a Slugthrower, and is wearing Purple Snow Armor. One has what looks like Black Snow Armor, though what weapon they have isn't seen. One appears to have a Gatling Gun, and is wearing Red Snow Armor. One has dual blasters and is wearing Blue Snow Armor. Finally, there appears to be one trooper with Clone Trooper Armor, with red highlights on his helmet and shoulder armor. He has a "Slugthrower", or a gun that fires bullets enveloped in plasma. His Slugthrower is a modified Imperial Pistol, and he appears to be some sort of Officer, due to also having a Vibroblade and Binoculars. After the visions play out, the Wiki-Warriors prepare themselves, before realizing that PirateJoe isn't here to see that.

DigitalDemon, after absorbing all that information, merely responds with, "Whu... What?.... Weird....". After waking up a bit more, he tries scouting around to see if he can find where PirateJoe went, and therefore where the battle is. [6+2 (Sounds)] After hearing the sounds of heavy blaster fire just south of the location they're at, Demon assumes that's where he went, and directs the attention of the Wiki-Warriors to that location. They acknowledge Demon, and thus continue planning.

Ukrainian Ranger, after also taking in the information, looks south. Knowing how the film goes, he knows that down south of their location, the Rebels are most likely dying, shot down one by one as Echo Base falls. In order to earn the trust of whoever's left down there, UR pulls out his radio, before cranking a dial to try and connect to the Rebel Alliance's communications. As the rest of the Wiki-Warriors get set up to follow Joe, UR waves them off, saying that he'll catch up.

Hawk, like Demon, begins his part of the journey via examination. What he's examining isn't the battle they're fighting, but rather the snowy hills the Wiki-Warriors currently reside at. [5] While it is a good examination of the Hills, there's nothing of value. No strategic landmarks, no ammo or weaponry dropped or left behind, not even any Tauntauns to ride into battle, or Wampas to kill. Hawk brushes stray dust and snow off of his robe before looking south.

((Auto'd)) Both Porkins and Ragenaut stay with the group, Ragenaut taking a bit of charge, priming her Energy Gun as she steps up. Porkins also steps up, clutching her soccerball as she waits for them to make any moves.
------------
Beirus watches the Wiki-Warriors from the Helicopter, his Alphonse Elric based Alchemic Armor now off of the Disgraced Alchemist's body as he looks around. Beirus makes his own commentary, saying, "Ooh, Hoth. That's a pretty cool location. And it looks like a few of the competitors got bug shifting powers. I wonder how they'll deal with the freezing cold environment here.", before thinking for a moment, before turning his attention to his...friends? Acquaintances? Non-Enemy Enemies? Frenemies? He doesn't know how to describe Jess Warner, Logan Sawyer, and Veronica Sawyer. "You know, I've always wondered what Wampa tastes like. If I go kill one and grill it, would anyone else like some?", only to immediately get a resounding "YES!" from Logan. Veronica looks up from her phone, and says, "Eh, I don't know. Hey, if you find some good alcohol, I'm down.", and finally, Jess Warner, for the first time that Beirus has seen, doesn't put his grin on. He instead seems to be staring off into space, only lightly muttering as though whatever he heard sent him off. [8] Beirus can make out some words, but never a full sentence. He hears, "Mistake", "Father", "Hatred", and finally, "Why?". Veronica nudges his shoulder, and Jess turns to her. Veronica relays the question, and he says, "Sure. Wampa meat, why not.", before muttering, "I've eaten worse for lesser people."...

BSN: I...have...nothing. Nothin'. Nope. TO THE SHEETS!

...What? OH! Actually, yeah, I forgot. Sorry about the wait! I couldn't really get around to it until now, and even then, the character sheets do take a while. Also, funny story. I started typing this at 5:00 AM, but I fell asleep during it! ... :-\

"Hm.  Specialised armour.  Isn't that convenient.  Odds are they're not alone, surrounded by contingents of men.  Piratejoe was headed the way of the battle, I'll join up with him.

Find Piratejoe, give him the rundown of Vader's 501st.

Keep looking out at the battle, look for anyone who has a red lightsaber and black armor, or anyone who really just stands out.

Follow the rest of the warriors, specifically ATH, keeping my 1887 ready. Keep an eye out to look for our targets.

So are there ways to get new articles? Specifically, ways that aren't killing our team mates.

@Person: Well, I will award the player who kills the last boss the wish, as you know, but new articles? Hmm. Maybe the player who kills a boss gets a wish. There's 5 Vader's Fist members, plus Vader himself. That means 5 new articles, and the wish for the person who lands the final killing blow. Yeah, that sounds good.

Yep, sounds good. Was just curious since nothing had been mentioned. I'm quite happy with what I got. I figured the wish would go to whoever kills Vader.

Keep trying to communicate with rebels units and try to rally them. In  the same time get in the car and drive toward the battle

"I'll be right back, then."

Go kill and grill a Wampa. Or bring the Wampa here, then kill and grill it. With my abilities that I totally still have from last match.

The Next round is coming soon, guys. Had a stressful few days. Nothing really major, just kinda stressful., you know? Where nothing bad's happened, but you still feel stressed out? Yeah, that. If the next round isn't coming tomorrow, it will come the day after, mark my words!

Ponder if bullets break Stormtrooper armor.  Start moving.

Search for the smallest group of stormtroopers on the battlefield, and plan a route towards them.

Hey, guys. I know this isn't the next turn, but...well, you know how I say that It's always nice to improve? Well...

You see, after Ardent Debater jumped ship and vanished without telling me he wanted to leave, I got a bit...upset about it. So, I have something to ask, what should I do about players who are Idle for too many turns? No, I'm not saying no one can be idle, I'm asking what I should do for players who just stop without telling me. Should I enforce a turn limit for how long you can stay idle? Because that sounds unfair to people who have slow Internet, or a crap computer. I'm not at a loss, per say, but I'm not sure if my idea is the best idea. What do you guys think?
