Well here we are again folks. Time for another great year of Bias spectating.
That's right Dan, and what an amazing season this one shall be. We have the two big runners again this year with the underdogs, the rogues, filling in the third spot.
They may be underdogs Brad, but you can't count them out. They gain VP or CP without damage, earn a daily paycheck when they want, and even can start out of the reach from the big two powers.
True Dan, oh so true. I'll be rooting for those farmers in the coming weeks, it'll be interesting to see what they come up with isolated from the rest of the action.
Oh! Look! Here come the teams now. What a nice turnout.
Yeah, you don't expect this kind of appeciation and turnout for something that's failed four times in the past. It's remarkable! The 5th Edition...I think we've caught up with Dungeons and Dragons already.
Wow Brad, you are such a geek.
Up yours.
Getting back to the players, here they come now. Looks like we'll be taking a look at the space forces to start with...and there are the Feds! Well looks like we have the standard line up for the EFSF. You have your two reliable GM Es, and a risky bet by jesiah putting his money on the GM Light Armor's ability to avoid fire.
Well it is a higher performance machine than the standard issue, but as you said...a few hits with a machine gun and it'll be lights out for the poor pilot. I think someone had some luck with that last run however.
Ohh No. Nolan Harkin had that thing. God his ass was handed to him.
That's right, but that may have been his own fault, he was on Earth when that happened.
Fucker owed me money. Stay in space jesiah, your life depends on it! And breaking continuity for a moment, may I mention congrats to Altoh, a natural 20 lands him a NT score of 2. Impressive for the EFSF forces. We'll be looking to Radune to really try and separate himself from the crowd this running. Oh! Speaking of running, here come the officers now.
What kind of name is Floppy Lion?
I think it's taken from a plushie doll released mainly in the UK. Interesting choice of naming there, it will be interesting to see what he names his second Salamis.
SEE! NOW THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! Look at that GM Command. What a beauty.
That would be Kyle piloting that GM Command. Very nice choice on his part. What you have there is a wonderful combination of engineering and plain damn luck. You end up with this unit that is excellent in both Gravity and Space! Beam rifle equipped, optional shield, beam sabers, grenades! I MEAN THIS THING HAS THE WORKS.
That it does Dan. That it does. Now heres the part every one has been waiting for...The Space Test Pilots.
Well what a surprise here. The Gundam and the GM Juggler. Sean leading up the Gundam this round, it'll be impressive to see what he can do without a NT score to aid him.
Sweat and swears will build the path to manhood for him Dan. Or perhaps he could just buddy up with the Juggler, holding onto his all ranged attacks might just give that close combat suit the advantage it needs.
Well that looks like all of the Earth Federation units in space, How many was that Brad? I got 7.
You can count to 7, congrats.
Fucker. Moving onto the Zeon side, we'll start off with those wonderful space grunts.
It's always been a little unclear with those zeeks in space. That whole MAF and SAF has always messed me up. You can never tell where they will end up fighting.
Well, we'll just go by where they start. They seem a bit lacking in grunts in the SAF...Having just one Rick Dom to boss around piloted by...does that say brittany? Sounds like a girls name, can we get a double check on that.
Yeah, that doesn't seem right.
Not at all. Space fighting is mainly a manly thing. The lack of gravity apparently annoys the hell out of women as men can't help but bump into them to get a free show.
I used to do that in my recruit days. Yup, Braddigan was known for knocking those knockers all over the place. Almost got a callsign for it. She seems to be more than a bit psychic, so the men will have to be extra crafty to get a free show. Anyways Dan, who is in space besides the woman?
Hmm, Let's see Brad. We have a few Test units up there. A Prototype Gelgoog and a Zaku I Minovsky Particle Scattering Equipment Type.
Holy shit. I love those Gelgoogs. That thing has a full sized beam rifle doesn't it?
That is Correct Brad, I think it and the Gundam will be facing off many times. Now the other unit...It seems to be a Zaku I.
That doesn't look like a Zaku I, you sure you're reading that right?
It says here in the pamphlet. "Zaku I Minovsky Particle Scattering Equipment Type"
Well, it'll be interesting to see what it does...Theres no profile for it so we'll just move on. Sorry Jim, pick a more popular unit next time, you unconventional bitch.
Props for insulting Jimmy, Brad. Moving onto the officer, seems like we have the Rick Dom once more. If I were frenzy I'd be showing off my machine gun and head spike all I could, it's all that separates him from the grunt he commands.
That and the paycheck Dan. Never forget the paycheck.
Speaking of Paychecks, do we get paid for this?
No, but we could be banned. So let's hurry up.
Right, MAF time. This is where I think the Zeon forces will get a lot of space support. Looks like we have heading up the lineup, the Bra Bro.
That's Braw Bro, Dan. With a double u.
Did you just type out double u?
It's my accent. Stay focused.
Why don't I get one? I started talking about things first, I should be the accented one. You know, grab the audience's interest and all that stuff.
Focus you fuckachicken! Besides, you got italicized in editing.
Fine, calm down, and I would hardly call that 'editing'. Anyways, the BraW Bro. An awesome long range assault mobile armor, so awesome it doesn't need a face.
You know, I always pictured the two 2-barrel mega particle gun as the faces, like a double headed orge.
Stop with the virgin-geek talk. Moving on from faceless monstrosity, we have...Seriously? Another one of those? Are you sure those rolls were legit? Whatever. We have a bit wielding Dom. How original. Piloted by of course~ A NEWTYPE. Grats Zeon, you are ruining the game.
Easy there Dan. let's move on. Kuriboh might blush if we focus too long on that suit. HEY! Look It's Ming! I know that guy!
I do too!
HIYA MING!
LOOK OVER HERE MING! DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT.
AHAHAHA! HE TOTALLY LOOKED!
And is now giving us the finger on all 6 of his Zaku II Manipulation System Type's arms...
He loves me. We'll let him pass for a Psychic just because I think it's mandatory and in out contract.
They actually got you to sign that?
Wait...What?
Sucker. Anyways, we have one ship in this part. Trying to pick up the pace.
No seriously, what did you mean abou-
There comes the Musai now. Captained by commanded Chan, who was voted best male and female planner of OYW Mk IV. I'm sure he'll bitch about the mobile suits being tin cans now instead of the ships. I think that wraps up space Braddigan, Shall we go to intermission?
I knew I should have read that...
We'll be back shortly!
And we're back!
Welcome back everyone, I'm your host Braddigan Heart, here with Dan Nickerson, bringing you live coverage of the Pre-launch Bias special of One Year War Mark Five.
It's great to be here Brad, completely ignoring everyone's ideas on everything and setting my own opinion for every pilot in the RPG based on stereotypes.
Good times, Dan. Good times. Now we move onto the Earth force's well..Earth Force.
Quite right, Lets get a good look at these grunts...I'm seeing 7 grunts in the EFGF this round. We have the GM Ground type.
GM Nothing, that thing is a fucking tank on legs. It's armor compares to that of a gundam, even if it's armaments leave something to be desired.
Not so far there Brad, Looks like these boys will be heading into battle with a GM 305mm Bazooka. Was that always given.
Not sure, never paid too much attention, but they also seem to be getting TWO shields. Damn they will be a bitch to take down for a zaku.
Nice Grunt units indeed. We'll have to wait and see if they are put to good use. Now I can see the shine off a visor now...Yes it is indeed the GM Ground Sniper.
Just as armored as the GM Ground type, this thing has the armor to shrug off a few machine gun rounds.
And that Gun Brad! What a beast.
I remember that thing swatting down Zeon Warships a few runs back.
Yes indeed, the zeeks are going to have to break that gun over a knee sooner or later. Oh, and speaking of knees, here's everyone's favorite suit that resembles someone in a wheelchair!
Yes Dan, that is highly offensive but it is the Guntank MPT. While not holding the same armor as those in the V Project, it did remove the core block 'providing extra protection for the driver inside the Guntank's hull.'
Stop reading the pamphlet you dick.
Right, anyways, I'm sure it will...do whatever a guntank does. Do you remember any memorable guntank pilots?
Not really. No.
How about Ron Bentley, didn't he kick some ass?
That was me. And I didn't pilot a Guntank, it was an A-1 Admiral Tank.
Oh, right. Hmm...Good luck Flession! Do something we'll remember!
Hehe, what a dick. Alright, moving onto the Grizzles vets in a second, but did tou know I was actually the first Grizzled veteran?
No kidding?
Yeah, hopping in that tank and everyone laughed. Seems to be a thing now.
Yeah, I see Advocate actually picked the same unit you did. The Type 64. Any advice for him?
Honestly, I don't remember much. I think the secret was paint dueling with the grenade launchers, but don't quote me. But seriously, what is THAT.
A Tin Cod.
A PC is piloting it?
Yeah, why not? You were in a Type 61.
Yeah. On the ground, where 11 RP worth of technology and material belongs. That guy takes any hit of any kind and he dies! Hell, if you ambush him in bad weather I'm sure he'll kill himself while you wait.
A little harsh Dan...
Perhaps he'll upgrade into a Pegasus, props to you Feyd...you dreamer you.
Now that's all of the mobile weapons we have fo-
Wait, you forgot them.
Who?
Them...The marines...
Oh yes! The Infantry! New to Mark Five.
Do you spell five out because of your accent too?
Only sometimes. Kusuriurite seems to be leading a squad of marines...and also has a large paycheck, is that size normal for a 1 man platoon?
I think part of it is drug money. But we all look forward to what the infantry will do this run. Now scurry off you little men.
I wonder if that Federation Don't Ask Don't Tell policy is still in effect...
Follow his RPs and I'm sure he'll let you find out sooner or later.
Oh! Heres the officers now, Dan. First we have another sniper unit, the GM Sniper Custom. Very classy, beam pistols and everything.
Wait, isn't this like the 3rd person to have a board name of something resembling Drewsie or the likes.
I don't know, I ignore that kind of stuff.
Oh..Right. Remind me to smack you Braddigan. Anyways, who's next?
One sir Blackmage..in his GM.
Wait, this guy is supposed to be in space.
So why is he here?
I think they forced him here since he was in a GM instead of the GM-E...
...
...
HAHAHAHAHA
Oh god that is funny. LOL
I can't help myself from laughing.
Look at him! He's trying to explain it to the staff. Brad! I think he sees us.
Hahaha..OH CRAP! GUNDAM HAMMER! INCOMING!
...
Dan. You can come up now. Sucker didn't even make it half way. hehe
Alright, enough with Mr. Bizaro, who's next.
Alright Dan, we have Duke- Wait. Kyle is missing. Oh... I think they put him in space instead of blackmage.
Makes sense, at least he can refit.
True.
Ok Brad, here comes Jojo in his Medea. God that thing will be a pain in Zeon's side I bet.
Nothing pisses off a zeek more than off base repairs. They'll be getting enough of that crap from White Base.
Watch the continuity there Brad.
Right. Dan, is that it for the EFGF?
No, of course we still have the pussies in the group. The I want to be invincible plz let me hav gundam men.
You are relentless tonight.
Yeah, well my team leading in another RPG is in this pussy group so you have to let it out, you know?
I guess. I sometimes diss my game master when I'm alone in my bed.
Brad, grow a pair and meet me in jaburo, we have test suits to talk about.
Right! First is the GM Desert Type. Useful in the Desert. I expect him to move to Africa or the middle east shortly.
Talk about picking a predictable suit. The TAF can just circle his sandbox on a map and count him out.
Poor Eric...Speaking of circles, there's Aleksei in his Aqua GM!
I wonder if the Desert GM and Aqua GM will team up. They are on the same side after all.
With a hammer, you smash their testicles once again.
One was dry, the other was soggy.
Too much information.
I wonder how desperate Ket was to see this thing in action to make it a joinable test machine. I know he tried to talk me into it last time.
Is that so? Well it looks nicely equip.
But Ket can't label it on a picture if you forced him to. He said the scissor anchors were anti-ship torpedoes, so I could only have the anchors or torpedoes.
Bitch much?
A little.
Here, have a tissue.
Oh, Brad, I take it those balls you ordered came in. Remind me to kick them later.
Thank you and will do Dan. Now we see the GM S Type and GMPGT coming in. Both of them seem to be heavy hitters.
That is correct Brad. The S has the speed and Reactive armor to it's advantage, while the Mass Produced Type has a larger array of weapons..including...get this, a 180mm Artillery Cannon (A) (10 round magazine).
Long range capabilities out of the box.
You got it.
Not bad...But how will they stand up to the Blue Destiny?
I honestly havent a clue Brad. Never bothered to read that Manga. I think the suit is kind of like that aquatic suit from Gundam X.
Where they shove the dolphin brain into mobile suits to give them...what was the reason for doing that anyways.
Either to kill the dolphins or the dolphins were newtypes and they wanted to rule the world with dolphin mobile suits or something, I don't remember.
Good show, I liked the female crew.
That one blonde chick acted so easy... surprised no one hit that.
Jamil did. You know he did.
Hell yeah. Anyways, that's it for the EFGF. Let me scroll back up to figure out what voice is saying this and we'll be back in a second.
Good cut there DAN. Now to round out the evening with the Zeon forces of the ground~
I'm included in that you know!
Really, I guess we're enemies then since I'm part of the EF.
REALLY?
God no. Ket would get all pissy, and Anastasia would get pissed by instinct, it's cause a whole fight that I don't want to.
Ok. Well Good luck. Here they come now...Look at that marve- Ok What the fuck is a Dopp doing in the TAF? If I knew me being a tank would lead to someone putting their faith in a Fucking Dopp I would have never joined that run at all. Give me a fucking break!
Woah! Dan! Dan! Where are you going? ... Well he'll be back in a moment folks, I think he's...yes he is trying to shoot down PinkZaku with his pistol. Moving onto the line up. We have Losshadow piloting a High mobility of the Gouf. Very nice suit. Shotguns, chain mines. And secondly we have the Efreet! I think this also ran on dolphin heads, but I'm not sure. What I can tell you is- WHAT THE FUCK! Theres been some kind of explosion in the crowd, I'm going to try and see wha-
Told you it's a piece of shit.
Dan...did you..
Yes, I shot down a Dopp with a pistol. Only took two clips too.
What the fuck!
Pinky will heal, no worries. The things are like 5 RP anyways.
Try more like 22.
Really? That's kind of a lot.
Yeah! It out performs the Tin Cod in every way!
Wow...That Tin Cod is in for a lot of shit then.
But you..and the pistol...how did you?
I shot it.
The aircraft?
Yes.
How?
I lead the target. You never played those clay discus games?
...We'll talk about this later.
Hey! Look! A Zaku II S! You know I have a system to remember these things!
What system is that Dan?
See, the Zaku II S, is S as in Sexy. Sexy because it has a large rod coming out of it's head. Like a phallic antenna.
And the others?
Well the only other TAF one is the Zaku Kannon. Zaku II K. Duh.
I like the cannon, it can do long range attacks as well. Also Dan, Cannon is spelled with a see.
Theres that accent again...God it's annoying.
You make me depressive. What suits are left?
The DOM!
They killed you last time.
Fuckface.
No really, they did. They have that big ol bazooka and skated at high speeds, Damn I'm sure that slugged your GM Light Armor's chest at a demolishing speed.
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Right, well. Ender...he has a Gouf. I think he'll be a bit sad knowing he is the only Gouf, and there is a high mobility one in most battles he is in just out performing the fuck out of him.
Hehe...Poor guy.
DOMS KILLED YOUR PC!
WALNUTS! LET US MOVE ON! MAF! I CALL DIBS! Zaku II F! Hehe, check this one out. ket will call me BRADIASS or something overly homosexual if he ever reads this, but It's Zaku II F for Fail. Since the link in Ryocha's roster entry is broken.
You are a fucking dirty troll.
Yeah, well go ahead and tell me what my racial attributes are geek.
I assume you don't actually want to know.
You are correct. Moving on! Scarth is a bunch of marines. Good luck to him. I will part with him often. He will be sore.
Oh yeah..
SHH! DONT SAY IT!
Ok Ok, Onto the SS.
Wait, we didn't say these guys were in space or anything.
Well they are all on Earth except Arc.
Not a team player...
No, Not at all. Dan, you may have the duties, he has an E in his name. Make up some completely incorrect meaning for it.
Eavesdropper.
Huh...that's not bad.
Thank you.
And the Rest of your SS family?
We have Chris in a Z'Gok. I don't know is that is made for water...or for space..or what. Reminds me of World of Warcraft though.
You sold your account, forget about that game.
Ok...Chris is our leader. We will do awesome stuff under him. Or ignore him. Haven't decided yet. Next is ghostcloud in the Apsalus I.
I thought we were missing that! It's in the SS? Very bitching.
Indeed. It...I dont know what it does. I don't know what to do with it either...I'm at a loss. I never paid attention in other runs so..Perhaps I duel it?
You could. But before we mention you, we have an awesome Acquy. Viktor!
He went AFK last game.
He did?
Fairly sure. EF lost the Gundam...and the game because of it.
...Awkward....
BUT I LOVE THE ACGUY! I WANT HIM TO PARTNER WITH ME AND GO ON EPIC ADVENTURES IN WATER!
What about Aleksei?
I guess he could join.
Right..
Anyways, after the stealthy Acguy who is highly configurable and cute. THERE IS ONLY ME. I am a highly trained fighting machine. I wear a personal pressurized suit of body armor that protects my entire body. I have no less than 4 Guns with one being a TMP mounted inside of my shield for storage. I have Wappas to fly around in. Grenades. A fully stocked MS team at time of adding. AND TO TOP IT OFF....I am Psychic. I the Panziergrenadier am Psycic! All wil-
You know, you are the lowest score possible right? I mean you didn't even mention Ryocha when we talked about her score of 3, and you are a 1. Three times a much. No Bragging.
We didn't mention her?
No.
Oh...Ok. Well, I guess that's it then.
Ryocha also has 3 times your VP.
Sadness. I get paid more!
She has a mobile suit.
Aww. Cut to credits.
So Dan, any regrets?
You mean besides wasting my time, losing my sleep, and doing this a night where I have to take up and be in class in 4 hours instead of doing a proper RP post which would help my character advance and be loved by the likes of Ket and Ryocha who is a NT Godess?
We'll just go with that...and Ryocha is out of you league.
Ouch.
There we go folks, that's all the time we have for...last night. We'll leave you off with some maps to judge your imminent doom on.
Horizontal Lines FTW
First off: Space.
Now as you can see, there is a large Zeon bias on the edge of the Earthern rim. It's slowly moving towards Earth but with a body of Bias this large, it's never known if it'll reach earth or how long it will take. Even upon reaching Earth, it could simply burn up on re-entry. Now more in favor or the immediate, scattered Federation Bias can be seen around Side 7, moving between it and earth, almost guaranteeing a safe arrival for white base once again. Unexpected was the EF Bias on the moon. Perhaps it will be rammed into Odessa.
Earth:
Now what stands out in this map is the large amount of EF bias in Europe. With the strong coastal winds building it up it's now a hurricane or a tornado of Fed bias devastating all of Europe Zeeks. Our radar does show in the Eye of the EF Bias however a panzergrenadier who rolled a newtype. Strong Zeon Bias. You have you standard mix of Bias in Asia, use whichever is more convient for your complaints. Oceans seem to be flooded with EF bias, avoid if you are a zeek, stick to the artic where your Zeon Bias still has a steady cover despite snowstorms. The wild card this game is Canada, which is Zeon Bias. WTF Canada. Also, Sydney, you are fucked. Ket likes to watch you die every run. Zeek bias.
This has been Bias watch 2009, thanks for listening...did you really?
That's right Dan, and what an amazing season this one shall be. We have the two big runners again this year with the underdogs, the rogues, filling in the third spot.
They may be underdogs Brad, but you can't count them out. They gain VP or CP without damage, earn a daily paycheck when they want, and even can start out of the reach from the big two powers.
True Dan, oh so true. I'll be rooting for those farmers in the coming weeks, it'll be interesting to see what they come up with isolated from the rest of the action.
Oh! Look! Here come the teams now. What a nice turnout.
Yeah, you don't expect this kind of appeciation and turnout for something that's failed four times in the past. It's remarkable! The 5th Edition...I think we've caught up with Dungeons and Dragons already.
Wow Brad, you are such a geek.
Up yours.
Getting back to the players, here they come now. Looks like we'll be taking a look at the space forces to start with...and there are the Feds! Well looks like we have the standard line up for the EFSF. You have your two reliable GM Es, and a risky bet by jesiah putting his money on the GM Light Armor's ability to avoid fire.
Well it is a higher performance machine than the standard issue, but as you said...a few hits with a machine gun and it'll be lights out for the poor pilot. I think someone had some luck with that last run however.
Ohh No. Nolan Harkin had that thing. God his ass was handed to him.
That's right, but that may have been his own fault, he was on Earth when that happened.
Fucker owed me money. Stay in space jesiah, your life depends on it! And breaking continuity for a moment, may I mention congrats to Altoh, a natural 20 lands him a NT score of 2. Impressive for the EFSF forces. We'll be looking to Radune to really try and separate himself from the crowd this running. Oh! Speaking of running, here come the officers now.
What kind of name is Floppy Lion?
I think it's taken from a plushie doll released mainly in the UK. Interesting choice of naming there, it will be interesting to see what he names his second Salamis.

That would be Kyle piloting that GM Command. Very nice choice on his part. What you have there is a wonderful combination of engineering and plain damn luck. You end up with this unit that is excellent in both Gravity and Space! Beam rifle equipped, optional shield, beam sabers, grenades! I MEAN THIS THING HAS THE WORKS.
That it does Dan. That it does. Now heres the part every one has been waiting for...The Space Test Pilots.
Well what a surprise here. The Gundam and the GM Juggler. Sean leading up the Gundam this round, it'll be impressive to see what he can do without a NT score to aid him.
Sweat and swears will build the path to manhood for him Dan. Or perhaps he could just buddy up with the Juggler, holding onto his all ranged attacks might just give that close combat suit the advantage it needs.

I do too!
HIYA MING!
LOOK OVER HERE MING! DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT.
AHAHAHA! HE TOTALLY LOOKED!
And is now giving us the finger on all 6 of his Zaku II Manipulation System Type's arms...
He loves me. We'll let him pass for a Psychic just because I think it's mandatory and in out contract.
They actually got you to sign that?
Wait...What?
Sucker. Anyways, we have one ship in this part. Trying to pick up the pace.

Right, anyways, I'm sure it will...do whatever a guntank does. Do you remember any memorable guntank pilots?
Not really. No.
How about Ron Bentley, didn't he kick some ass?
That was me. And I didn't pilot a Guntank, it was an A-1 Admiral Tank.
Oh, right. Hmm...Good luck Flession! Do something we'll remember!
Hehe, what a dick. Alright, moving onto the Grizzles vets in a second, but did tou know I was actually the first Grizzled veteran?
No kidding?
Yeah, hopping in that tank and everyone laughed. Seems to be a thing now.
Yeah, I see Advocate actually picked the same unit you did. The Type 64. Any advice for him?
Honestly, I don't remember much. I think the secret was paint dueling with the grenade launchers, but don't quote me. But seriously, what is THAT.
A Tin Cod.
A PC is piloting it?
Yeah, why not? You were in a Type 61.
Yeah. On the ground, where 11 RP worth of technology and material belongs. That guy takes any hit of any kind and he dies! Hell, if you ambush him in bad weather I'm sure he'll kill himself while you wait.
A little harsh Dan...
Perhaps he'll upgrade into a Pegasus, props to you Feyd...you dreamer you.
Now that's all of the mobile weapons we have fo-
Wait, you forgot them.
Who?
Them...The marines...
Oh yes! The Infantry! New to Mark Five.
Do you spell five out because of your accent too?
Only sometimes. Kusuriurite seems to be leading a squad of marines...and also has a large paycheck, is that size normal for a 1 man platoon?
I think part of it is drug money. But we all look forward to what the infantry will do this run. Now scurry off you little men.
I wonder if that Federation Don't Ask Don't Tell policy is still in effect...
Follow his RPs and I'm sure he'll let you find out sooner or later.
Oh! Heres the officers now, Dan. First we have another sniper unit, the GM Sniper Custom. Very classy, beam pistols and everything.
Wait, isn't this like the 3rd person to have a board name of something resembling Drewsie or the likes.
I don't know, I ignore that kind of stuff.
Oh..Right. Remind me to smack you Braddigan. Anyways, who's next?
One sir Blackmage..in his GM.
Wait, this guy is supposed to be in space.
So why is he here?
I think they forced him here since he was in a GM instead of the GM-E...
...
...
HAHAHAHAHA
Oh god that is funny. LOL
I can't help myself from laughing.
Look at him! He's trying to explain it to the staff. Brad! I think he sees us.
Hahaha..OH CRAP! GUNDAM HAMMER! INCOMING!
...
Dan. You can come up now. Sucker didn't even make it half way. hehe
Alright, enough with Mr. Bizaro, who's next.
Alright Dan, we have Duke- Wait. Kyle is missing. Oh... I think they put him in space instead of blackmage.
Makes sense, at least he can refit.
True.
Ok Brad, here comes Jojo in his Medea. God that thing will be a pain in Zeon's side I bet.
Nothing pisses off a zeek more than off base repairs. They'll be getting enough of that crap from White Base.
Watch the continuity there Brad.
Right. Dan, is that it for the EFGF?
No, of course we still have the pussies in the group. The I want to be invincible plz let me hav gundam men.
You are relentless tonight.
Yeah, well my team leading in another RPG is in this pussy group so you have to let it out, you know?
I guess. I sometimes diss my game master when I'm alone in my bed.
Brad, grow a pair and meet me in jaburo, we have test suits to talk about.
Right! First is the GM Desert Type. Useful in the Desert. I expect him to move to Africa or the middle east shortly.
Talk about picking a predictable suit. The TAF can just circle his sandbox on a map and count him out.
Poor Eric...Speaking of circles, there's Aleksei in his Aqua GM!
I wonder if the Desert GM and Aqua GM will team up. They are on the same side after all.
With a hammer, you smash their testicles once again.
One was dry, the other was soggy.
Too much information.
I wonder how desperate Ket was to see this thing in action to make it a joinable test machine. I know he tried to talk me into it last time.
Is that so? Well it looks nicely equip.
But Ket can't label it on a picture if you forced him to. He said the scissor anchors were anti-ship torpedoes, so I could only have the anchors or torpedoes.
Bitch much?
A little.
Here, have a tissue.
Oh, Brad, I take it those balls you ordered came in. Remind me to kick them later.
Thank you and will do Dan. Now we see the GM S Type and GMPGT coming in. Both of them seem to be heavy hitters.
That is correct Brad. The S has the speed and Reactive armor to it's advantage, while the Mass Produced Type has a larger array of weapons..including...get this, a 180mm Artillery Cannon (A) (10 round magazine).
Long range capabilities out of the box.
You got it.
Not bad...But how will they stand up to the Blue Destiny?
I honestly havent a clue Brad. Never bothered to read that Manga. I think the suit is kind of like that aquatic suit from Gundam X.
Where they shove the dolphin brain into mobile suits to give them...what was the reason for doing that anyways.
Either to kill the dolphins or the dolphins were newtypes and they wanted to rule the world with dolphin mobile suits or something, I don't remember.
Good show, I liked the female crew.
That one blonde chick acted so easy... surprised no one hit that.
Jamil did. You know he did.
Hell yeah. Anyways, that's it for the EFGF. Let me scroll back up to figure out what voice is saying this and we'll be back in a second.
Good cut there DAN. Now to round out the evening with the Zeon forces of the ground~
I'm included in that you know!
Really, I guess we're enemies then since I'm part of the EF.
REALLY?
God no. Ket would get all pissy, and Anastasia would get pissed by instinct, it's cause a whole fight that I don't want to.
Ok. Well Good luck. Here they come now...Look at that marve- Ok What the fuck is a Dopp doing in the TAF? If I knew me being a tank would lead to someone putting their faith in a Fucking Dopp I would have never joined that run at all. Give me a fucking break!
Woah! Dan! Dan! Where are you going? ... Well he'll be back in a moment folks, I think he's...yes he is trying to shoot down PinkZaku with his pistol. Moving onto the line up. We have Losshadow piloting a High mobility of the Gouf. Very nice suit. Shotguns, chain mines. And secondly we have the Efreet! I think this also ran on dolphin heads, but I'm not sure. What I can tell you is- WHAT THE FUCK! Theres been some kind of explosion in the crowd, I'm going to try and see wha-
Told you it's a piece of shit.
Dan...did you..
Yes, I shot down a Dopp with a pistol. Only took two clips too.
What the fuck!
Pinky will heal, no worries. The things are like 5 RP anyways.
Try more like 22.
Really? That's kind of a lot.
Yeah! It out performs the Tin Cod in every way!
Wow...That Tin Cod is in for a lot of shit then.
But you..and the pistol...how did you?
I shot it.
The aircraft?
Yes.
How?
I lead the target. You never played those clay discus games?
...We'll talk about this later.
Hey! Look! A Zaku II S! You know I have a system to remember these things!
What system is that Dan?
See, the Zaku II S, is S as in Sexy. Sexy because it has a large rod coming out of it's head. Like a phallic antenna.
And the others?
Well the only other TAF one is the Zaku Kannon. Zaku II K. Duh.
I like the cannon, it can do long range attacks as well. Also Dan, Cannon is spelled with a see.
Theres that accent again...God it's annoying.
You make me depressive. What suits are left?
The DOM!
They killed you last time.
Fuckface.
No really, they did. They have that big ol bazooka and skated at high speeds, Damn I'm sure that slugged your GM Light Armor's chest at a demolishing speed.
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Right, well. Ender...he has a Gouf. I think he'll be a bit sad knowing he is the only Gouf, and there is a high mobility one in most battles he is in just out performing the fuck out of him.
Hehe...Poor guy.
DOMS KILLED YOUR PC!
WALNUTS! LET US MOVE ON! MAF! I CALL DIBS! Zaku II F! Hehe, check this one out. ket will call me BRADIASS or something overly homosexual if he ever reads this, but It's Zaku II F for Fail. Since the link in Ryocha's roster entry is broken.
You are a fucking dirty troll.
Yeah, well go ahead and tell me what my racial attributes are geek.
I assume you don't actually want to know.
You are correct. Moving on! Scarth is a bunch of marines. Good luck to him. I will part with him often. He will be sore.
Oh yeah..
SHH! DONT SAY IT!
Ok Ok, Onto the SS.
Wait, we didn't say these guys were in space or anything.
Well they are all on Earth except Arc.
Not a team player...
No, Not at all. Dan, you may have the duties, he has an E in his name. Make up some completely incorrect meaning for it.
Eavesdropper.
Huh...that's not bad.
Thank you.
And the Rest of your SS family?
We have Chris in a Z'Gok. I don't know is that is made for water...or for space..or what. Reminds me of World of Warcraft though.
You sold your account, forget about that game.
Ok...Chris is our leader. We will do awesome stuff under him. Or ignore him. Haven't decided yet. Next is ghostcloud in the Apsalus I.
I thought we were missing that! It's in the SS? Very bitching.
Indeed. It...I dont know what it does. I don't know what to do with it either...I'm at a loss. I never paid attention in other runs so..Perhaps I duel it?
You could. But before we mention you, we have an awesome Acquy. Viktor!
He went AFK last game.
He did?
Fairly sure. EF lost the Gundam...and the game because of it.
...Awkward....
BUT I LOVE THE ACGUY! I WANT HIM TO PARTNER WITH ME AND GO ON EPIC ADVENTURES IN WATER!
What about Aleksei?
I guess he could join.
Right..
Anyways, after the stealthy Acguy who is highly configurable and cute. THERE IS ONLY ME. I am a highly trained fighting machine. I wear a personal pressurized suit of body armor that protects my entire body. I have no less than 4 Guns with one being a TMP mounted inside of my shield for storage. I have Wappas to fly around in. Grenades. A fully stocked MS team at time of adding. AND TO TOP IT OFF....I am Psychic. I the Panziergrenadier am Psycic! All wil-
You know, you are the lowest score possible right? I mean you didn't even mention Ryocha when we talked about her score of 3, and you are a 1. Three times a much. No Bragging.
We didn't mention her?
No.
Oh...Ok. Well, I guess that's it then.
Ryocha also has 3 times your VP.
Sadness. I get paid more!
She has a mobile suit.
Aww. Cut to credits.
So Dan, any regrets?
You mean besides wasting my time, losing my sleep, and doing this a night where I have to take up and be in class in 4 hours instead of doing a proper RP post which would help my character advance and be loved by the likes of Ket and Ryocha who is a NT Godess?
We'll just go with that...and Ryocha is out of you league.
Ouch.
There we go folks, that's all the time we have for...last night. We'll leave you off with some maps to judge your imminent doom on.
Horizontal Lines FTW
First off: Space.
Now as you can see, there is a large Zeon bias on the edge of the Earthern rim. It's slowly moving towards Earth but with a body of Bias this large, it's never known if it'll reach earth or how long it will take. Even upon reaching Earth, it could simply burn up on re-entry. Now more in favor or the immediate, scattered Federation Bias can be seen around Side 7, moving between it and earth, almost guaranteeing a safe arrival for white base once again. Unexpected was the EF Bias on the moon. Perhaps it will be rammed into Odessa.
Earth:
Now what stands out in this map is the large amount of EF bias in Europe. With the strong coastal winds building it up it's now a hurricane or a tornado of Fed bias devastating all of Europe Zeeks. Our radar does show in the Eye of the EF Bias however a panzergrenadier who rolled a newtype. Strong Zeon Bias. You have you standard mix of Bias in Asia, use whichever is more convient for your complaints. Oceans seem to be flooded with EF bias, avoid if you are a zeek, stick to the artic where your Zeon Bias still has a steady cover despite snowstorms. The wild card this game is Canada, which is Zeon Bias. WTF Canada. Also, Sydney, you are fucked. Ket likes to watch you die every run. Zeek bias.
This has been Bias watch 2009, thanks for listening...did you really?
