Wow, 1 million people assassinated in 6 years or so? That is like 456 people a day... Did you take out an entire military or two? Just curious. :P

Wait a minute now...

How did Tyler kill a million people? Doing so would require killing roughly one hundred people per day for thirty years... also, the current on-foot kill record is held by a Finnish sniper, who killed between 500 and 700 people over the course of two years (it's unknown how many he got and how many his squad got) and is accepted to be one of, if not the, best sniper in history. That was during the Finnish-Russian war immediately prior to WWII, when sniping was a far more effective tactic than it is today, and that was someone who never had to worry about the police.

To my understanding, Gracie was being sarcastic in her post. Correct me if I'm wrong.

But honestly, the maximum I'd expect an assassin to have killed over the course of a twenty year career is maybe a hundred. You see, after each kill, you have to disappear effectively, slip under the police radar, and lie low for a while before you can make another hit. Teenage assassins would most likely have only killed about twenty people over their short careers (assuming that their careers have been about two or three years long).

For the record, Valentine has killed roughly a hundred people over two years, but the majority of those were police officers caught in bombings, as opposed to him killing them personally. Also, he had no home address and was legally dead, so disappearing for him just meant getting out of the country and switching IDs.

Really? Wow, that is honestly very impressive. I assume it was during the winter war?

Yep. Let me go find his Wikipedia page...

Here we go.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_Häyhä

He's got 505 kills confirmed and credited to him with his sniper rifle, and a good number more with a submachine gun.

Also, I was wrong; it wasn't two years, it was around a hundred days. Seriously.

Funnily enough, he was eventually put in a coma; the war ended the day he came out of it. The Russians probably heard that he was back...

Hey, Nasia, I've got an idea. Since I've got regular access to my father's laptop for the next couple of days, do you want to introduce Valentine in a small arc where he and Gracie end up targeting the same drug dealer? I'm in the mood for some RPing.

Hey, Jackrules. I gotta say, I've got a problem with your posting style.

You see, you assume that your character is a thousand times more powerful than any human. Assassinating the President of Russia would require going through literally hundreds of fully-trained FSB commandos armed with assault rifles and heavy weapons. Valentine is a veritable genius, is incredibly well-armed, has full Spetsnaz-issue training; he's planning on attacking the Vice President of the US (significantly less-defended than the Russian President), and even then, he has no expectation whatsoever of getting out alive. Plus, the FSB are far more willing to kill anyone they have to in order to defend the President - which means that, even if Tyler has abilities on the level of a physical god and somehow got past the initial wave of bodyguards, he'd be subject to an airstrike by the Russian Air Force, which would inevitably kill him, along with any civilians in the area.

Put simply, assassinating the President of Russia would be nigh-impossible unless you had access to a legion of Special Forces troops who were willing to give their lives for the cause. I believe I'm well-qualified to speak on this, having spent the last half-year researching ways to write a realistic vigilante assassin.

Try to stick to more realistic targets, please.

On the contrary I'm not trying to make him that powerful I picked a random target it's easily fixable you don't need to go into depth just a simple. You made a mistake will suffice

Well, I am realizing that this time the game is shaping up in a way to make it very hard to fit Tina into the story. Does anyone have any ideas? The best I can come up with is that Tina is on a run at night and gets taken hostage at gunpoint, but that is a little forced. Does anyone else have any ideas?

@Jackrules: Thanks. Just try to stick to realistic, low-profile targets from now on. Remember, Valentine almost got killed by the police after taking out one Senator, so that's about as high-profile as you can rationally get.

So if anyone wants to pick a new target or something, we should ask Zero if it's good or not. I mean like, president is way up on the 'WTF' list. But I guess senetor is also a ig operation, so anything smaller than that really?
