<span style='color:purple'><b>z.x. bogglesteinsky, and everyone else, sorry for the confusion a page or two back, i've been exceptionally busy and also been trying to keep up on this thread, so due to not total concentration when reading ended up in a lot of crossed wires >_<.
Time to write myself back in properly, as i'm not quite so busy now. Ignore all the confusion parts. I went with the team to Engine Room, basically tagged along, didn't get hurt, did my share of panicking, fired off lots of ammo, down to my last 2 clips. Rest assured i'm with Lumberjack, bogglesteinsky, Terran and so on, outside Engine Room waiting to phase back to base.

<b>Terran, I think it's best if you keep to one character, instead of spawning multiple ones and switching between them. It's hard enough to keep a sensible story going with this many characters, people creating their own conversations between several characters makes it a lot harder and eliminates the roleplaying aspect of it.</b>

*speaking into microphone* "Comm, Ship armory 243 is not safe, theres a vent in the roof that the khara have acess too, its to high to weld." "No sir, only found some pistols over here, one has a scope though, not that it will do much good against these buggers, Yes sir, we need everthing we can get, ill bring them."
*I turn of the microphone so i can here the enemys better and starts back toward main base, with a total haul of 1 lmg (damaged amo load), 3 standard issue knifes, 1 oficer class monoculur blade, 1 standard pistol, and 1 scoped pistol*
<b>The concept of roleplaying is that everyone plays a character. Then people can talk to each other and take part in the story themselves. It's not supposed to be a thread where everyone posts a bit of the story, I'm the one telling the story, you are the main characters in the story. Posts saying "a skulk drops down, I kill it" doesnt make much sense story-wise, and only makes the thread one big array of totally unrelated events because everyone is trying to tell their own story. The same thing goes for people playing 5 different characters, because they are essentially making up their own part of the story.
That can work as far as their own character is concerned, because after all a marine DOES influence the story by his actions, but having several people also help descriping and form the non-marine aspects of the story simply removes the plot and replaces it with the chaos of 5 people writing fanfic-bits in the same thread.
So simply stick to your own character, talk to the other people, comment on time, place and happenings, but don't make them. Be part of the story, don't tell it.</b>
