(Don't get me wrong; storywise this is awesome. Just from her perspective she isn't able to cover them, and that is frustrating.)

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
I should also add some of the other things found on the guards besides the pistols and ammunition. When you search the guards feel free to grab any of the below as well.
Guard 1:
-Belt,
-Keys,
-Smartphone,
-Wallet (453 on a DA Card, ID card, Security Card, Picture of girlfriend he was going to propose to once he finished this mission)
-Utility tool (knife, Can opener, ect)
Guard 2:
-Belt,
-Keys,
-Smartphone,
-Cheap watch,
-Wallet (3 on a DA Card, ID card, Security Card, Ticket to get 1 free StimBurger with purchase of 4 stim burgers, two stimburgers already bought)
-Condom,
-Small bag of fruit candies,
Bossman:
-Expensive gold watch,
-Smartphone,
-Golden Pen,
-Golden .45 (no ammo, engraved pearl handle reading J.B.)
-Small notepad with ideas for a novel titled, 'The true life of the Black Syndicate' (Most notes are about hookers and blow)

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
I ret-conned Phaedra loading explosive rounds into the W3301 and changed them to the AT rounds. Knowing that the explosive rounds would have detonated on impact with the glass, she would have loaded those first.

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
A few things:
1: A bunch of character stuff is now up on the plot page ( https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=ne ... haaspfleet ). Everyone should have a look and fill in anything they think is important. As far as plot points go, I'm only covering what the marines have uncovered so far. I'm hoping that this will not only help people keep track of some of the smaller hints, but will also help give you an idea of some of the things your characters can look into.
2: Thanks to everyone who filled out the plot survey! One thing that was brought up was a dislike of my explanations of the areas your characters are in, in that they disrupt the flow of the 'story'.
To fix this, I was thinking about taking the area descriptions out of the plot and putting them in the OOC thread. We could do a lot of the 'what do I see here?' questions in OOC as well and it could really help smooth things out. I figure I will try this for a little while and see how it goes.
3: Related to number 2:
The casino floor still has six guards by the front doors (locked) and 2 guards by the administrative building doors (also locked). Harm is asking Phaedra to shoot them both, and then blow up the door with her explosive rounds. The door is sturdy, but it isn't reinforced or armored at all.
The first floor of the administrative building is mainly just cubicles with a lift and a staircase. Since Wazu is about to explode the staircase the team should focus on taking the lift. There is also now a hole in one of the upper windows, and a little bit of glass on the casino floor.

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
Cool beans! This is very helpful.Uso said:
Personally I didn't have a problem with the descriptions in the IC thread, but I image having them in the OOC thread will seem less distruptive.
I assumed that Phaedra could see the front door from her vantage point, but isn't the door to the adminsitration building directly below her location? As in, she would have no LOS to it? Or would the blast from an explosive round be enough to destroy it (as opposed to a direct hit)?
I shall check this out.

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
Feel free to add to the wiki page, especially if you don't have any plot points listed for your character. Hopefully you guys will find this setup useful.
As for Phaedra, she'll have to look nearly straight down to see the two guards in front of the door (she can't see the door directly, but she can tell where it is from the tables/exit sign above it.) It is a weird shot, but she should be able to nail both guards, and then drop an explosive round right in front of the door to open it up.
And yes, ICly there are hints here and there to some of the sub plots. If someone comes out and directly says something related to the sub plot I'll add that information to it so everyone can get a recap of the important bits.
