USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FIRST ASSIGNMENT- 'The Museum'

haha,
I like how all the Matrix vets went "F the Philo path, I'm gonna shoot shit."

Hehe, yeah, pretty much seems that way!

Helios is on Philo.

Ok then, you guys need to plan.

Museum people- there are five major places.

The largest, on the left side and closest to the entrance, is a general display of impressive extincti species- so, dinosaur skeletons, woolly mammoths, that kind of thing. It is very high, and windows are all over the place.

To the east of that room is a connecting corridor that binds everything else together.

Adjacent to that corridor are three other rooms- "Neanderthal Civilization", "Wonders of the Ancient Deep" and "Majesty of the Air", all with attendant exhibits. They are in that order from north to south, with connecting doors also.

No other rooms will be particularly significant in this scenario.

-

Outside, you also have five areas to cover, simply listed A to E

A is the area immediately outside the museum

D and E are your two exit points. D is a wall-attached phone in an old apartment complex, and E is a payphone in an old plaza.

B is the route to D, and C is the route to E. They are no moee than a minute long. B's route is through back alleys and narrow streets, whilst C is along several roads.

Edit - On another note, having just seen Ush's post, I'd suggest we head for the corridor first, since we can get everywhere from there. Perhaps leave somebody at the entrance to the first room and then check out the others one by one.

Well, I think we have enough combat-nuts to have two people at every location but one.

Looks like. Probably a good idea to pair newbies with last game's players as much as possible.

heading to the corridor involves going through the general exhibit.

You are getting in ahead of the meeting, though, so this is about where you start off, not where literally you go first in a fighty scenario.

Combat:
Mors
Fire
Firewall
Ares
Burn
Hawk
San
Barb
Melis
Cloud

Philo:
Balder
Heph
Spades
Sirin
Melkor
Klez
Berserker
Azrael
Mirage
Helios

That's everyone that I have listed as playing, divided into Combat and Philo. That's 10 on Combat, 10 on Philo.

I'll leave the planning to Mors...

Okay, 10 Combat people? Perfect, then we can have two people at each point.

I'm not coming up with the pairings, but 1) it would be best to pair up the new guys with vet players (as opposed to with each other), and 2) we should probably try and pair them up so that the pairings aren't really imbalanced on terms of templates/powers - IE not putting Ares and Burn at the same place, or Cloud and Melis. That sort of thing.

Okay, as a First Officer, I'd like to plan everything, but I think I'll leave the Philo planning to them and just handle the Combat situation.

I'd look to Heph and Azrael, as our oldies, for ideas on that.

San and I will lead the Combat situation, I think? Maybe?

Anyways, two people to a spot...ideas on how you want to do that, San?

EDIT- Okay, will slap together a list shortly of where people should be going...

I suggest that if possible, pair Fighters and Gunners, so that they can compliment each other if (read "when"😉 combat starts.

think most solid ideas have been mentioned in here, I trust Mors to do a good pairing.

Pretty much what I said 😛

One of us (prolly Mors) will have the pairs up shortly.

Barb looks down at the Eager Hawk.

"Haha. Sterben Sie nicht Kid."

Smiling, He turns to the rest of the Percy and Shez Vets, and Winks.

(If you'll recall Barb tends to stray between languages occasionally.)

Well, the Philo guys should remember that if they don't come up with a plan, Dallas will be the one arbitrating...

Here's what I've got in mind...

A
Fire
Firewall

B
Mors
Hawk

C
Cloud
Barbarossa

D
Melis
Burn

E
San
Ares

Firewall and Hawk, our two newbies to Combat, have been paired with myself and Fire. Fire and Firewall are both All-Rounders, but Fire knows what's up. Hawk and myself, Fighter and All-Rounder, did pretty well together in the Training mission. Cloud and Barb, Fighter and All-Rounder, they can do they're job. Then Melis and San, our crazy stabby babes, balanced out with our manslut gunners, Burn and Ares. Exits are probably pretty damned important to hold.

And there you have it. Whatcha think, gang?

Hah! Nice 😛

Looks fine to me.

Looks good by me, BB. Haha, "mansluts"... 😄

Hawk looks up at Barb for a few moments, eyebrow arched, before simply shaking his head and saying "Didn't plan to," with a grin.

Well, since Mors said it, I guess I'll take a crack at planning? Dallas' plan probably involves 'Kill everyone in the Museum,' so let's see what we can pop out...

Do we know where Dallas wants to go, Ush?

Extinct Species Exhibit - It's the largest, so we might want to put three here?
Heph
Spades
Dallas?

Connecting Corridor
Azrael
Spades

Neanderthal Civilization
Klez
Melkor

Wonders of the Ancient Deep
Sirin
Mirage

Majesty of the Air
Berserker
Helios

Um...okay. Tried to do likewise with balancing people and pairing oldies with newbies, but not...there's only two oldies on Philo. ermm

Heph and Spades together, Fighter and Gunner. Maybe Dallas with us?

Klez and Melkor, Gunner and All-Rounder. I figured Klez knows what he's doing.

Same with the Sirin and Mirage pair, All-Rounders, Natural and Hacker respectively.

Berserker and Helios, All-Rounder, Vet and Natural. Yeah...

I guess that all works. Any objections from the Philo team? Or Dallas?

Barb smiles at Hawk, before looking to Firewall, And Laughing.

"No, I don't suppose you would."

The Pairings look good to me. I can't wait to get Slashing and Stabbing again.
