Well, I read through the whole thing, and it sounds like a pain in the ass, Hexx. If you want the migraine that would go with this, you're welcome to it.

I think I'm becoming more and more amazed at the number of people who have read it, but think it will more difficult to keep track of than what we do now. It won't.
Fortunately I'm not a graduate of the American Public School system (bsed on the NJ model I assume)
I can handle the details.

That said, I raise an additional caveat. You can't tell how many internals are being done to your own ship. How would you know to withdraw at 200+ damage when you can't tell how much damage that is?

I must have forgotten to mention , no disengagement in patrol missions (after combat begins of course)
without an enemies permission. So not an issue. Otherwise it's a surprsie..

CaptJosh · « **Reply #21 on:** October 05, 2005, 11:59:57 am »

So...what? Then they can stick around and destroy the enemy, but if they get more than 200 internals, they have to retire the ship? That'd be interesting to try enforcing...

Should be easy
DH(DNH) & his faithful lapdog Bear (NCD+) draft Kreug (C10K) and Spanky the Wonder Dog
(D5D)
Bear smacks into a planet, DH is now fighting Kruegy and Spanky. DH makes a close range pass
on Spanky, D5D eats a DNH alpha and goes away.
Krueg, fighting with insane inspiration (and my guiding voice on TS) kills the DNH.
At the end of the mission DH announces that he scored @ 150 internals ( numbers are completely made up, I have no idea how many internals a Dn can take) the C10K is taken out of the OOB line up for @ 24hrs.

Easy breezy beautiful covergirl.

And you expect players to remember still another detail? We have a hard enough time remembering to report kills before we forget who we killed!

I do not think D2 is the best venue for a campaign such as this.

Good thing you said 'Bear' vs 'Bearslayer'.... you might have been talking about me and I would have to get offended.

Variety . . . as servers go . . is good.

Some with OOB
Some not
Some with rules
Some not
Some with Hexx
Some not

I like choices.

Well then Josh perhaps you just dont bother to read the reports after the battle. It CLEARLY states how much DAMAGE you took, how many INTERNALS you took, how much damage your team took, and how much damage your ENEMY took, etc... A screenshot of this would guarantee there is accountability.

CaptJosh · « **Reply #29 on:** October 06, 2005, 02:33:53 pm »

Dfly, you missed the point. Hexx was suggesting that after a certain amount of internals, a player would have to withdraw. You can't tell in mission how many internals your own ship is taking.

Dfly · « **Reply #30 on:** October 06, 2005, 07:25:22 pm »

Actually Josh, you better scan up and read again. He clearly states that After a mission where the damage is X amount, you must pull that ship from service.

Here Josh is an excerpt from the Quote " At the end of the mission DH announces that he scored @ 150 internals ( numbers are completely made up, I have no idea how many internals a Dn can take) the C10K is taken out of the OOB line up for @ 24hrs."

It sure sounds to me, and most likely others, that it is AT THE END OF THE MISSION. This would mean that the numbers would be taken from where I SAID.

Hexx · « **Reply #31 on:** October 06, 2005, 07:33:21 pm »

Yeah, the ship would be withdrawn (from the front) after the battle is over

Mog · « **Reply #32 on:** October 07, 2005, 02:11:00 am »

I think Josh is usually too busy ogling Tracey's sig pics to actually read stuff

CaptJosh · « **Reply #33 on:** October 07, 2005, 09:14:15 am »

Actually, I'm more interested Tracy's mind than pictures that aren't even of her, Mog. I think she's very likely smarter than I am, and that's just hot.

As for misreading Hexx's post. Oops. *grins sheepishly* Must have been half asleep or something. How did I get that from what he actually typed? *scratches head confuzzledly*

Sounds good to me. Has that role-playing element we've talked about. All I have to do is get out of this friggin' motel....
