ECM can be countered by ECM, see rules. Took someone long enough.

Except that I had active ECM in the fight from the Loki, which I had mentioned to the GM, and it had no effect

jimdigris · « **Reply #361 on:** 07 February 2019, 16:03:25 »

Same here, but my ECM was being operated by someone with intelligence training.

You may have had it, and it might even been on, but did you declare that you were using it as ECCM and how close to the raven did you get? It makes a difference

Yes you said you ECM was on in standard mode and did not change to counter ECM.

Also never said anything about going to counter ECM.

These are all the major points.
Players must inform the GM about how you are using you toys. ::)

Also the big thing was all the E-toys did not close with that lance. You had a binary of clan toys messing with your day >:D

Do keep in mind that I did inform all that the Raven get a bit extra as the 35 ton toy gives up 7.5 tons to e-toys.

Iron born, could you modify those orders regarding the complete destruction of the Raven? It could be useful to us. If it a choice between escape and total destruction, choose destruction. But it is possible that we could use its communication systems to trick the Black Dragons and White Robes into fighting each other.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Come get sum, saith the Raven.

I have an idea for our little Blakist/Black Dragon problem- a false flag operation. Specifically, I'd like to spark conflict between them by attacking the Black Dragons masquerading as Wobbies. Ogremage has an Exterminator that has only been seen by the WOB. He could go in with the mimetic armor activated. Once he has been detected, the Hussar (just within communications distance) will send copies of the transmissions that the WOB forces that we tangled with used to communicate with each other, to the Exterminator. That will be when all of our Arrow IV equipped forces launch an artillery strike against the Black Dragon enclave, while our forces in the field peel off for air-evac. After artillery forces fire four salvos, they are air-evacuated as well. If all goes well, the Dragons will think that they have been targeted by the WOB.
What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Fyall · « **Reply #368 on:** 10 February 2019, 15:05:08 »

mission for the exterminator with only a hussar for back up. :D

jimdigris · « **Reply #369 on:** 10 February 2019, 16:11:52 »

It has mimetic armor which will make it really difficult to track. The artillery barrage will provide a huge distraction for any pursuers. Your mech is faster than many designs out there. Unfortunately, we don't have much in the way of Blakist-used designs.

Dawn, this is a reminder to get the minor clans done and give a copy to Anthony. Your holding up the progress of the Arkab Harib pulling the Governor's ass out of the hot seat and saving the planet for the Draconis Combine single handedly. :D

English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages, and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary.

The Dakuu-orianyusu (Dark Warrior News)
Citizens of Nejiro the Dragon need you to see past the false words of those that are in charge. They are not looking out for you or the Dragon. When pressed they make up stories of what is happening on this world. They find ways to distract you with flash and fanfare. Good people of Nijero you are of the Dragon and do not need such things and will see them for what they are, NOTHING. Brothers and sisters of the Dragon you have friends that are here to help. They are for us not themselves. Reach out to them, welcome them.

Shin no wadopuresu (True Word Press)
People of Nejiro you face many problems here out in the periphery. You have made a good life here and now others are looking to take that from you. The government brings mercenary troops to “protect you”, but are they? They tell the stories of pirates and out siders that bring all this death and destruction. They are the only ones that have the information and they point to others. Funny how it works out this way.

WNN News Update
Today government security personal informed us that all the people of Nejiro need to be alert as we have outside forces looking to destabilize our world. These people want us to fight among ourselves so they can take what we have worked so hard to make for ourselves and those that will come after.

Sentinel News Update
Today Keiji Sugai announced that he is starting a new firm that will be looking to producing the Holly Long Range 15 missile system here on Nejiro. He informed us that with luck production should start in six months.

do we know who is transmitting these statements? is it a true news station? if these are rouge transmissions can we trace them to find their source and devise a plan to silence them?

commanders to be interviewed?

i thought we were going to form a public relations team to handle interviews and our public image.

did anyone else think that my suggestion to do this was good? none have responded

i do not know if kiah would interview well she would have to check with the governor before doing such a thing and she would have to be prepped for it properly
