General Thread

Sounds good to me. Expect less posting frequency this week. If I still hear from everyone on a course of action, I’ll go ahead and resolve it.

I'll still be posting in various games, but indeed, may be a fair bit less than usual. Good luck with the surgery ForeverDED!

Thanks Harrigan!

Same! Wishing you a quick and easy recovery.

Thanks SpiritualSock!

Gonna need another day. Surgery went well, but recovery has been fraught with an anesthesia hangover and other things that might be TMI.

There is no rush so no worries. The group knows this is a slower week. Other members of the group are also busy this week.

Yep! Look after yourself. I'm heading home from my business trip tomorrow...

Heads up that I’ve asked to have my username updated because it was bothering me. I am indeed the person behind SpritualSock511. There is a typo in my new username, and I’m seeing if I can get it updated one more time.

Knighthawke is no longer a player in the game due to his schedule. Narratively, I'm going to assume he became a causality of war. Opened up game to Pedrop. Otherwise, we'll keep moving with a group of 4.

There's one small problem: No one in the rest of the group speaks Polish, so communication with the boy is going to be tough (which was always a possibility) unless Pedrop comes on board with a character that speaks Polish.

I could swap Reed's Russian Linguist for Polish instead, if that helps.

If you want to, you can. However, I don't think it's necessary. At this point, Jakub and the rest of the group understand the situation to keep moving without any major difficulties. It comes down to whether you think having detailed conversations with Jakub or other locals is better or if it's better to pick up on any Russian you hear.

Group Question
I see that other games have Discord servers, and people here on GP talk about Discord. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to set up a Discord server for this game? Or do you think it wouldn't add much value? I'm not sure either way, since I literally just downloaded Discord yesterday.

I'm still relatively new to Discord, so I feel like I'm still learning the ropes. I'm better than I was as I've been online with it more in the last couple of months. Still, I'm not one to spend much time with it. If it's a necessity, I'll do it. I'm not against the idea.

I use Discord heavily, and back all my games on GP with a Discord channel on my own Discord server. However, if not everyone is a steady Discord user, it's probably as effective to just use the GP OOC. Otherwise you risk "leaving some folks behind..."

I’m on Discord a lot, but I’m fine with just using the OOC thread here.

Also, I took the day off from work today. Since I do most of my posting at work, posts will be slow until tomorrow morning.

Enjoy your day off!

@saevikas, some things to think about Reed's upcoming turn. I'm assuming Sheepdog will shoot at the guy with the radio. Even if he takes him out, the artillery will continue to fire even if the enemy isn't aiming. There is a possibility that the artillery could drift towards Reed and seriously hurt/kill him, Jakub, and destroy the Humvee.

Reed also has the linguist ability for Russian. With a successful roll on the radio, he could sound like a native Russian. I'm not trying to sway what you do on your turn. Just giving you info to make an informed decision.

That artillery! Yikes!
