death tribble Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Point of order. Drawing the card. How do you know that we are telling the truth when we say what card we draw ? Someone could for example be a Motorhead fan and claim they drew the Ace of Spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you could lie, but you're only cheating yourself blah blah and I think we're a pretty good bunch. There's your answer.

You must have at least three protagonists, your General, and your dragon picked before you have your card draw day. Short answer: Self-policing.

Doc Shadow Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 My draw card has also been made. It my request the Commish made it for me. I'm just not ready to reveal it yet. Got some thinking to do on it. In the meantime we have today's pick. Protagonist: Admiral Lady Dame Honor Harrington, Duchess Harrington, Royal Manticoran Navy (David Weber's Honorverse) One of Rhodan's oldest allies, Spacefleet General Harrington has been with him since the beginning. The two were roommates at the California Academy of Spaceflight 25 years earlier and served together on several missions prior to Rhodan's 1971 lunar landing mission. Now the commanding general of the Solar Fleet from the command deck of the Titan, one of only two 1,500 meter superbattleships of the Arkonide Universe class that was seized from Arkon last year, General Harrington is a brilliant strategist and an equally skilled tactician. Further she is a crack shot and expert in hand-to-hand combat. On a visit to the planet Sphinx 5 years ago she was adopted a 6-limbed, empathic treecat that she has named Nimitz. Note: this version of the character is not a genetically enhanced heavy-worlder, having been born in the USA in 1936 there was no need for her to be. Nor does she have any artificial parts, although she does bear several scars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 As far as the card draw goes, I already know what happens in three of the four possible cases. I'll draw the card after I figure out the fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Impudite Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Shuffling deck, drawing a card... 3 of Clubs. Taking orders from V'han is one thing, but Naraku is chafing under the command of that dandy, Mad Mod. He's secretly plotting to backstab Mod and take command personally.

Marcus Impudite Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Mad Mod greedily gulped down the contents of the ornate bottle in his hand. The effects of the water were immediately noticeable looking at his reflection in the inactive view screen: his wrinkled skin was smoothing, his hair went from grey to its original vibrant red and his hairline was returning. More than that, he felt a vitality he hadn't had since the 1960s. He smiled as he straightened his Union Jack pattern tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKJAM! Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 The Dragon: Paragon Joel Cochin has the ability to duplicate physical and mental abilities of those around him, at improved proficiency and power levels. This includes Stands. When not near a strategic genius, however, Paragon isn't that good a long-range planner; thus his second-banana position.

assault Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I've spent the week drawing a blank on my Dragon pick. It's ended up blocking my other picks. I'll try and make a decision today, and then catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
