Other thread was getting lengthy, so let's keep the battle info here.

Basically what's going to happen is that we're going to have our catapults in the formation that Reijin described just pounding down on the fortress. Our army will wrap around the catapults on three sides to prevent flanking from the east or west and to prevent any United from just rushing out at the catapults.

We basically chill at the catapults and let them do their business. Once the fortres is so torn apart for us to just run in, we'll begin the charge into the fortress.

[Broli]

By the way, I'm really going to need you guys on this one. I understand you're burnt and busy, but do the best you can.

United has a splurge of activity in them. They aren't going to let us win this one without a fight. Let's show them that we can still best anyone.

[Burter]

Did you guys ever allocate your 1,000 troops? If so, show me where, cause I must have overlooked it

3rd post from the bottom.

[Reijin]

Man you are in a hurry -_- I'll try to get a post up of "relaxing" soon although I was hoping to rebound off you guys and all.

[Broli]

It's been five days man since the Garlic fight where we didn't even need to really RP. It's been ten days since Sanguine. How much longer were you wanting to wait?

Vejita and I both want this over. I really don't know what else to tell you.

[Broli]

Once the battle actually starts, Android 16 is going to post giving out his troop orders because he doesn't want us to suddenly attack and takeover the fortress defenses unfairly.

I agreed, so once the battle starts, let 16 post. After he's given his orders out, go crazy.

We're still free to post during the pre-battle phase, too.

[Broli]

The pre-battle phase only lasted a couple of hours, so no problem on no one getting RPs out during then.

I'm not sure what the deal with our strategy just yet. Once I clarify it though, we'll be needing to do a lot of RPing.

Edit: Yeah, we're just chilling and protecting the catapults while they pound on the fortress.

Be as active as possible. Make yourself having a dream if you need something RP, I don't care. We just need to be active.

[Broli]

Talk about motivation on their part. They've already posted three times.

We need to step this up. Find SOMETHING to RP. We need to step this up quick or we'll be so behind that we won't be able to recover.

[Vejita I]

I have the night off tonight so I'll be able to RP a good bit later tonight. I think if I post two more times, I'll be pretty even with 16(who I notice has the most posts). Hopefully I can post more than that. We all need to start RPing like crazy.

Akane/Reijin - you guys are going to have to RP a few more times to keep up. They aren't going to ease up in the least. We've still got a larger troop count than they do, and apparently our strategy is working right now, but you guys have got to do something to avoid dying.

Btw, that was a nice wait though because those two RPs felt pretty nice to write. =D

[Reijin]

I prefer to try to win through quality and not throwing out as many RPs as possible. I'd like to get a decent number of decent RPs out there, because I really don't like when people try to make 6-10 bad posts that are regurgiations of their previous posts (to where I literally just move right over them) in hopes of compensating for their actual content. I've seen people do it alot in previous tournaments, and I just can't write that way.

I'll have more up tonight after work, since I have been busy, if I'm still alive by then. I'm fairly happy with that post I made ealier, so I'm hoping it will keep me till then at least.

Broli, I really think we shouldn't go in through the fortress when an opening presents itself. If we are simply bombing the same place that they are standing and they refuse to move, wouldn't they get destroyed eventually or just be forced to leave their area to come to us? There's no reason at all to leave our perfectly good position to move in to a more vulnerable area when we gain nothing by doing so. If we were trying to capture them, sure, go in through the holes in the walls. But if we are trying to kill them, just blow the entire building down around them and keep smiting the damn crater in the ground till we know they are pulverized beyond a chance.

[Vejita I]

I wasn't trying to imply thatyou should make shit RPs. I didn't mean it like that. And wow, I don't blame you for not posting that much. I'm finding it amazingly difficult right now to post a RP. I've got 200 words so far in this RP and it seems like every single sentence is a struggle to come up with. I just didn't want these guys to totally take us out due to their mass RPing. I hope that still isn't the case. =/

Anyways, as far as I know, we're sticking with the same strategy. We're losing more people than United right now, but not a large amount. I think we may move forward into the fortress whenever we have a way inside, but not right now. I don't remember if Broli and I mentioned anything to each other about what we'll do when the walls breakdown. I kind of think if we move inside the fortress, we'd all be a lot more motivated to RP. I think that may be my problem here, but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'll direct this to Burter.

No, it wouldn't decimate their troops. They can easily move backwards and reform their ranks to avoid the catapult fire.

The catapults can be used however you want, but it's MEANT for breaking down defenses, not pwning an entire army

Looks like we have no choice but to charge. Any further suggestions?

[Reijin]

KV, I wasn't angry or anything, I was just giving my opinion about it. I'll try to get another post up as soon as I can tonight. I didn't think that's what you were saying, I was just throwing it out there.

[Broli]

I'm going to make a post having us charge them in the morning, unless anyone has any disagreement.

No, no. I didn't think you were angry, I just assumed you took my intentions the wrong way. It's all good.

And that's fine Broli. Personally though, I would like to step in place for Akane to fight Koola. I know she's not able to RP at this very moment and fighting him may buy her some time. But it's totally up to you, Akane.

[Broli]

I'm sending in the charge, and I'm hoping that's going to motivate you guys to RP. More specifically, Akane, you really need to step this up.

[Reijin]

I apologize greatly. I was working on it last night, and something happened so I couldn't finish. So I left Word up with my post. Then this morning very early the people showed up to work on our stove so I couldn't continue it. Its still up, I'm working on it now in the hour I have before work, and hopefully half of it will still apply to whatever the situation has changed to.

[Vejita I]

Oh shit. Rei, if you want Koola, you can go after him. I just wanted to get him out of the way since I knew he was weakened.
