Are you trying to suggest Jan is a female?

Or are you talking about Yukie's reaction to killing two people after being backed into a corner?

Mukade · 02/11/12 12:02

To be fair, Jan can actually be a girl's name. When I first started catching up on the story, I pictured it as a girl, forgetting what it said on the character screen, until it started saying "him"

Every time I've heard the name it's been a man.

Mukade · 02/11/12 12:02

The only time I've heard it before, it was a girl's :-/
But oh well, I have no issue with it, it was just a bit confusing during your first post.

Depends on the pronunciations

Based off of American literal pronunciation this is how it would sound

Male: Yahn (As in, Yeah-un)

Female: Jahn (As in, Janice or Janet)

Mukade · 02/11/12 13:02

Ohhhh, okay, I've been pronouncing it wrong then xD

That's why you read the character thread first.

This is what I meant.

I will still keep pronouncing Jan's name like 'Jahn', I think it sounds more awesome and bad-ass than 'Yahn'.

Sorry for the double post, but I need to bump this so Certified is sure to see.

To Certified: Please cut down on the flashbacks a little bit, it's getting a little difficult to follow. You can have flashbacks, just don't make too many. You also should keep in mind that each post should take up at least 1 AP, otherwise it isn't really worth a post (if you intended to use the AP but forgot to write it, please do so). I know this doesn't sound like much, but please fix the time in your post (you wrote 12:00 AM when it's supposed to be 12:00 PM). If you wish to stop your electronics from occasionally sending signals (revealing your location), you can turn them off.

I apologize that I sound like a butthole, I am just trying my best to keep the roleplay consistent (so that it makes sense and doesn't confuse people).

Not only is it too late, but even IRL it wouldn't work.

Cell phone GPS transmitters don't work like that.

They can be tracked when they're off?

Yep. Very little batter power is needed for it to transmit, so little that you barely notice that it drains. And so even when your cell phone is "Off" it still transmits.

Now of course, if you were to remove the battery...

Ok. Well, you can remove the cellphone battery to prevent further tracking.

Bump again, need kyletm57 to see this.

To Kyletm57: I don't know whether I'm not fully understanding your posts, but it seems to me like you said that your character will first go to "take a closer look at the location Jan sent" you (which is J31 by my understanding, the 'West Syndicate Warehouse'), then in the next post your character is going to 'Karachi Motel and Breakfast', where Jan sent a call (when? to whom?) and then you mention that your character maybe find out "the Syndicate was doing there" (since when is the Syndicate at that location, and where is that location?). Please clarify this, I am very confused. Thanks.

kyletm57 · 02/11/12 22:02

@Striker:

Jin and Vince are headed to the location where Jan fought the Syndicate troops (including Lucifer, while Jan was there he requested backup. There was a TCTF unit sent to that location after backup was requested, however none of them are investigators so they are simply guarding the area until Jin and Vince arrive. 'Karachi Motel and Breakfast' is where Jan is currently located, and they were able to pick up Jan's phone call when Jan contacted Perez (if you read through Certified's last post he states that the line may have been tapped). Jin and Vince aren't headed there, however Vince helped organize a team to be dispatched to that location. I'll edit my post and try to clean it up. Hope this helped.

Thanks a ton, it makes sense to me now.

Mukade · 02/13/12 00:02

To kyletm57: I see that you have rolled the dice and got a higher number than Creature did, so why didn't you write the outcome? The dice roll was supposed to decide whether you succeeded in your goal or not. You got the choice of picking where you wanted to go - the helicopter or the warehouse. You picked the helicopter and won the dice roll, so please provide with the details of what happened after. Thanks.

kyletm57 · 02/13/12 16:02

@Striker

Lol, I thought TheCreature won, I'll fix it ASAP (might be a little, I'm quite busy right now)

Mukade · 02/13/12 17:02

Hey, I rolled a combat, could a GM roll against me? I saw Striker online earlier, but he didn't roll against me
(Did you mistake my post for TCs because of the roll at the end? idk )

I talked to him a few minutes ago

He said he had to go very soon and was merely skimming the forums, and that he has had too good of luck when doing rolls

Mukade · 02/13/12 17:02

Oh lol xD
well I'll get TC to roll another one of those 9s that he rolled against kyl

Valkyrur · 02/13/12 17:02

Btw, you do know what the dossier actually contains right?
