What should be the themesong/anthem for the Goban if there would be one?
Me and Zeph were discussing this, but we were stumped.

Any suggestions?

 

[zephyrite]

Ha! I got it! Walkin' on the Sun, by smashmouth. It just works! That is definately our theme.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Each episode is named after an album I particularly like. So you could have the album as the soundtrack of that particular episode, though usually the title of the album is more important than the album itself.

 

[zephyrite]

I like that idea a lot, but what Luca is doing I think is adding an official theme song for the Goban.

Oh, and btw, here is a good album, The New America by Bad Religion

 

[Luca]

Thanks Zeph, that's just what I meant. Doshii, That's a clever way of naming our episodes, I never thought of it that way.

Anyway, I was thinking of a few themes from Animes that could suit us, to name a few...
- FLCL
- Trigun
- Cowboy Bebop
- Final Fantasy Unlimited
- Neon Genesis

Any other suggestions?

 

[Omega724]

If I'm understanding this correctly, and each episode is named after an album title, then here is my unofficial list of names for Communique.

-Good News For People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse.

-The Fake Sound of Progress by Lost Prophets

-Losing Streak by Less Than Jake

-Danger! by Electric Six

and finally...

-From Here to Infirmary by Alkaline Trio


Oh...and how does one go about getting healed...I'm kinda at a loss of how to continue.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Our medic, perhaps, requires a more experienced doctor!

I shall provide in the morning. For now, laundry.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Shitcock.

Well, I'm working the next 7 days straight, gentlemen. So the stall isn't going to get "better," but I'll post tomorrow morning to help us all out.

 

[Anthony]

With the idea of a theme song for the Goban itself i thought maybe just a suggestion we could do "Rise" its the opening theme song to GITS:2GIG or even maybe something from the first season of GITS:SAC

 

[zephyrite]

I like that idea.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Zeph --

Let the GM control NPCs, okay? I know you're impatient, but trust me, it's a habit you need to be careful of. Got it?

 

[Yangfan]

I tend to be forgiving of NPC-usage if the player was just trying to move the plot along, but Jake has a good point. Other GMs might not be so forgiving. You also make the GM's job harder since you're basically moving his pieces.

It's not a good habit to have.

 

[Doshii Jun]

*nods* This is true. So everyone knows, Zeph's NPC usage was actually okay this time, but yes, I want to make sure everyone knows it's not a helpful habit to have.

 

[zephyrite]

Ok, I got it. no more NPC use for me, lol. You can control them.

Hey, Jake, please note that there shouldn't be any civilians in the military half of Kyoto.

Also: Hanako and company visited a tactical shop in Kyoto a while back. Maybe you might want to re-use this one:

Hanako held her hat and jacket as she slid out the rear door and into the rain, which fell in wind-gusted sheets. She quickly sprinted over to the door's entrance alcove, under the bluish light of a streetlamp. It wasn't night yet, but the clouds were dark enough to light them today.

The store was a Ketsurui Zaibatsu outlet of some sort, part of a smaller section of the large government-run manufacturer. The staff were behind a large, round transparent display counter that was full of pistols, knives, and other small weapons, while behind them were hundreds of rifles and shotguns of various types, mostly of KZ manufacture, but also some of other varieties. The main area of the store consisted of a boot sales section in the front left corner, tactical clothing in the left by the counter, tactical vests in on the right by the counter, and miscellanous items in the front right. Various pouches and gear lines all of the walls, from flashlights to green heavy-duty tape.

An incredibly beautiful, soft-spoken Japanese girl wearing glossy white boots, a silky red pleated skirt, and a sheer white top immediately offered to assist the new shoppers. Definately a Ketsurui-run store.

"Ah, look at all the camouflage patterns," Hanako pointed. There were an excellent variety of them, from brown, leafy patterns to artic snow and rocks. The standard Star Army one was there, too, a sort of dull light green with irregular rounded patterns of black stripes on it. Traditionally, the Star Army had worn it with large flak vest that was white, dark green/olive, or tan grassland pattern, depeding on the environment. She asked the sales rep if there was some place to hand their jackets. The rep nodded, and took Hanako's hat and jacket to a coat closet near the entrance.

(There is also a dressing room mentioned)

This trip to Kyoto also includes decriptions of a clothing store (for ladies) and a store for "initimate accessories" so to speak.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Oh! I didn't know if I could reuse that one. My bad!

I was recalling the Navy Base in Everett, which had civilians working on it a lot. But okay, I'll fix it.

Galar'll visit another shop for now.

 

[Wes]

Alternatively, you could have the shop be in the civilian sector.

 

[Doshii Jun]

*nods* I'll save it for now.

 

[Omega724]

Just a heads-up: I'm probably not going to be on that much this week (It's turkey week y'know) due to family and working. It's probably a good thing though, since Galar's taking a little adventure. If the story progresses; Jake, you can rp my character into a new body.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!
