I feel I owe you guys a resolution to the whole events surrounding Dr. Frost despite my activity tapering off. Nobody wants to be left with loose ends so my current plan is to reach out with staff about finishing that arc with his story. There may be follow up posts in a new thread, but it will...

*Someone circles this particular line within Lucas' message in red ink*

Updated, finished The Stranger series. The Chronicles are complete. I would like to thank everyone who stuck with me and was willing to play along to keep the story going, including those I might have accidentally missed. Credits Karol-Nordinstrom/The Stranger - @Avg_Joe Lucas Leavitt -...

February 27th, 2021 Today would be the day in which we would finally leave this desert, the Watcher's Bunker, the ruins of 626's fortress, and the remains of the Hive marking the downfall of this region's prospects of ever being inhabited again. Everyone here had their piece of the pie and left...

February 26th, 2021 A long time passed as I was up at restless hours waiting on the Stranger to come through that door and I had just about passed out. Scavenging in such a resource scarce region and separated from the main camp meant that the food supplies had been dwindling. We only just...

Out by the 'ol fishin' spot lately before them rebels and coppers scare 'em off, scavengers poachin' the lake were a pain in the arse before but this is getting mighty ridiculous! I drew me line out and expected a bite in at least around twenty minutes, but by Bluebeard's beard I got a snag in...

OOC disclaimer: Trying to remember events from months ago so it may not be 100 percent accurate but figured I would finish this series up before I forget even more details.

February 25th, 2021 Still no sign of the Stranger returning, had I taken too long? Even with how uneasy he is to be around the hideout we found is just as eerie, too quiet. He could be hiding somewhere doing God knows what but I have searched every corner of this bunker complex already. Its...

Events where people could get information on future targets: - Data centers - Combine or Resistance messengers carrying info (less of the case for the Combine but still cool regardless) - CCA outposts with their own bulletin boards and messages - Passing conversations between units or bandits...

It's understandable and not always easy to gauge 100 percent all the time what would have be best in each moment. My character did not want to vault the railing since it would have probably lead to him getting shot from in the courtyard or from above. I think through a GM's perspective it is...

If HORIZON was perceived as an intel squad it would not really matter as long as players actually enjoyed fighting against them and it was leading to cool scenarios. The fault of most intel factions is that across different servers they exist for their own sake rather than provide anything for...

I think with the whole bullet sponge thing Royce it is more of a general observation of OTF. I cannot recall getting into any encounters with your soldiers but there are instances with others (I do not know who) where I felt their portrayal and scaling was off. --- Heads up for Overwatch...

This will likely be the first and last time I leave a note on this board. Will somebody look after that cat when I am gone? I have no idea how it survived the shelling but if a thing like that can survive out here then maybe we can too. - Sam
