Working for the Lemon

[Bree Fletcher]

Well of course one got away. What kind of story would this be if it was as simple as that? :P Anyway, the activity tab is prett ymuch likea normal forum page, except the posts run from bottom to top, chronologically. Though I did just notice that the pages all seem to have the same posts, and there's no way to see ones previous to the ten most recent or so. I'll go take this up in the maintenance thread, it might be because of that.

This is a long-standing bug with the activity tab, actually.

[Bree Fletcher]

Yes, real opponents. *Wags finger* No killing them in a single post's worth of fighting, 'kay?

Extra sad face! Super-sudden-but-unforseeable-misfortune-activate! I have to leave for two months on business travel, starting today, and I won't be able to post. In the meantime, I leave my character to (insert name of interested party here). If necessary, you can brush Marie off to the side and I'll dust her off later, but it's up to you. Again, sorry everyonee!!

[Bree Fletcher]

Aw... alright then. I'll do what I normally do. Try to keep Marie around, and contributing, but not involved in anything major. I'll just make sure there's a light touch put on her, if that's okay.

We appear to have one person, (the rebel leader) having been put in two different places, and I'm confused. On the one hand, RedRaine and myself have him landing on Hauclir, shouting at the peasants, running over to stab Shannon, and getting a knife in his hand.

Elloit seems to have him landing, shouting, and then turning around to attack Hauclir...

Does anyone actually read, or do they just skim the posts? We need to get this worked out somehow.

[elloit]

Of course I read the posts! What's the point in writing my own if I haven't already read other people's!?
I'm sorry if I got it wrong, but I thought that when you said the ring leader turned to stab Shannon you meant Harry Shildin (the guy with the axes who was leading them at the beginning of the fight)?
I will re-write it if you want me to.

[Bree Fletcher]

Shildin's on your side, buddy. Did I need to make that clearer?

[LawOfTheLand]

Yeah, I'm skimming, but only because I've been sick. It's that time of year again. <<

Anyway, from what I read, there was one dude coming up behind Shannon only to get taken out by one of her comrades, so she focuses her attention on the guy strangling Hauclir. The logic behind my posts is that the peasants are trying to offset the frightening prowess of the Lemon Seeds with strength of numbers...in this way, it's easy to picture one guy circling behind Shannon for a donkey punch, only to have one of her fellow Seeds be watching her back and take out the threat, allowing her to focus on saving Hauclir's ass.

Sure, this makes for a more chaotic scene, but think of it in the sense of the classic kung-fu movies, where the hero is beset by numerous foes but comes out on top by dealing with individual opponents quickly and efficiently. Similar logic applies here: Outnumbered by the peasants, the Lemon Seeds have to focus on thinning the ranks of the rebels and watching out for each other.

EDIT: Because double posting is bad for the soul (as DraconicArcania would say), just thought I'd let you know that school is kicking my ass right now: Tomorrow's test covers implicit differentiation, curve sketching, and everything in between (except possibly Newton's Method for approximating a function's zeros, which is calculator-intensive).
