I hope so, although there's still a lot to learn! And of course while I'm happy to tell nameless pilot #3 to stand stock still and trade shots with a mech outside their weight class, you have to be a bit more careful with your PC and their lancemates!

Re: OOC Chat 1: Calculating navigational path
Yes! Agreed 100%. This is the difference between a one off game and a campaign. You end up getting very protective of the pilots you level up.
It's going to be doubly more so for PCs in a roleplay game. That may lead to cautious play, which is fine. I don't plan to start too difficult - ignore the Black Watch combat, which was meant to be challenging! I'm actually most curious about how folks treat their lance mates. They're a lot more squishy than PCs as they lack edge to prevent "bad things".

It was this. Whether you win or not is less important than how you perform.
Also, don't mess with the Black Watch!

snickers BJ-3? OMG, too easy. snickers
I ruled out PPCs just because I figured others would want them and LRMs seemed similarly fun. Now that we have LRMs all over the place, I guess I didn't need to worry!

Re: OOC Chat 1: Calculating navigational path
A thought for those in the reverse pop up thread - do PM people where you have matching free timeslots and you would like a thread. Everyone hoping someone else makes something (and that they somehow get notified about it) is very passive.
You're better off either making something and posting it in pop ups, or checking the reverse pop up thread and then PMing someone to agree a time and place.
It's not so important for pre-game, but do bear it in mind for when we start fully.

Re: OOC Chat 1: Calculating navigational path
NGL, would love to see Crusader Company go into battle as a formation, but I understand not doing that, because I value Yuusha's mental health.
But boy, if I wasn't so scattered, I'd totally write a fiction about some larger engagement from Kelenfold. And how we rescued some silly Scout Company types.

Alison's art looks a bit like Gianna, just lavender hair instead of blue washing out toward gray-green.

Gianna will call Alison purple twin IC if you want. Should drive her actual sister, Princess, crazy.

To note: One of Catherine's lancies has the surname Rodríguez (you can look her up in my bio, linked to via my signature). I leave it up to you if you want there to be any relation, but I won't be actively playing them and they will appear very rarely, if at all.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help get you into things. There are still plenty of open threads and pop-up threads for you to take part in. Take a look through the character bios and see if anyone seems like a good fit for Allison to already have a connection with, were here to help.
