The Games are On

[liebe_krieg]

The log for Wargames is up! The Doctor and the Major are throwing down with their pet monsters and pulling the rest of the City into the fray.

The thread for the first night's happenings is up. This post will be updated with threads for Saturday and Sunday as the events of those nights unfold. All organizational stuff and questions that come up as things go on can be worked out here as well. Hope everyone has fun!

ETA: The Second Night is underway! Everyone can still start their own threads for generalized participation, and specific threads are up for playing out the joys of Nazi captivity and the ambush at Union Square. The Major has also posted with his demands, cold-bloodedly executing Joel Weinberg to drive the point home.

What's going to happen at the Square is that Floyd Pinkerton will call for help saving refugees from vampires, leading any heroes who respond into a murderous ambush by the Major's troops. Then the Doctor's monsters will crash the party, turning the bloodbath into a three-way brawl. For characters looking for the thickest fighting, tonight Union Square is where the party's at!


ETA2: Night 3 has begun, as the Wargames reach their climax. Tonight the Major and the Doctor are defeated along with their minions, and the Major's hostages are rescued. Tony Stark will be posting soon with the work of technical experts tracing the Major's location. As in previous nights everyone can start their own threads for generalized stuff! Tomorrow there will be one final wrap-up post for working out the aftermath of all this!

soooooo how do you feel about playing out Alastair's capture?

I was trying to figure out who to throw in the log first and how and that just sort of came to mind. OR that can be handwaved while I get the fighters to fighting.

[liebe_krieg]

We can if you want, but I don't see there being much to play with there besides vampires + concussions, really.

[notadartboard]

yeeaaaah I think you're right about that one.

lol vampires + concussions

[backstabbing]

So bouncing off that, all captures of hostages (I feel like that's not worded right but lmao whatev) will be handwaved? Isabela would definitely put up a fight so I wouldn't mind handwaving it or playing it out when I get back if this is only a case-by-case thing.

And when will the kidnappings take place? Would the hostages be able to take part in the "festivities" before their capture? And what will they be doing on Saturday?

[liebe_krieg]

It's case-by-case, we can play it out if you like! Most kidnappings take place Friday, hostages can festivitize all they like before they get taken down, and Saturday will consist of uncomfortable shackles, being gloated at by Nazis, and being put on the Network by the Major to motivate people to fight the Doctor.

When will the techs be needed?

[liebe_krieg]

They can catch on to the trace-ability of the Major's radio signals and start trying to crack them together whenever you want; they'll just have to deliver the location on Sunday.

[redlooksgood]

Okay, cool!

Topher will be watching you, you crazy Major.

[whoneedsinformation]

I'll be putting up a post with Billy asking for help and offering the info he's got, within the hour!

[redlooksgood]

sweet! Topher is already egging the Major on like a good boy.

[plays_with_dolls]

Boyd will just be over here laughing his ass off at the trolling and wondering why he didn't do this ages ago.

[redlooksgood]

Topher is such a good pet for Boyd.

[backatthehotel]

Oh my, this is amping up nicely!

Screamer starts work on Monday as a native/import liasion for City Hall, (and I can't think of a better time to have that job tbh). Do you have any plans for potential post-wargames fallout?

[liebe_krieg]

No plans yet! We're gonna see what kind of shape things are in once this wraps up.

[ex_backstab594]

Thanks, keep me informed!
