Damian, Incase you hadn't realised, Edzard didn't make any hostile moves - So it's entirely fine for you to post.

Edzard has still remained undetected; Successfully crawling to a new location.

OOC: Thanks PuNk I understand its just I am try ing to think of a plan :/

[ridgway]

Lewis had thought of a plan. He had a great idea, he would throw his smoke grenade out the door and into the are estimated of the sniper. Then him and the 5 units would go out the door and rush into the cloud of smoke and begin to clear out the trees. This would either force the sniper to fire, maybe getting one unit or so but it would give away his position and he would be forced to surrender or fight to the death. Lewis was sure his plan would work. He finished telling everyone what the plan was he rushed to the door. Pulled the pin on the grenade and threw it, it landed perfect. "Poof!" They waited a good 30 seconds before running out letting the smoke gather. Then they rushed out the door, all 6 of them ran up to the nearest few trees they found. AS they got up to the trees they noticed a figure up against a tree. Lewis noticed it was a Kraut. He Threw hos weapon up along with the other Units and shouted " Surrender put down your weapons or we will kill you!!"

OOC: I don't know how this is gonna work because I would like to continue on into the woods and search but I know I can't go on without a mod post. This is gonna be a tough decision for PuNk because we are standing the the open with a Kraut in front of us, I mean its not Like I feel vulnerable or nothing.

Okay, Austin... You've completely ruined your post.
Firstly, has Jack Knight given you permission to control his units? I'm unable to mod-mark until he's said so. Although you're more authoritive in rank, it doesn't change the fact that the members in the thread with you, have to give their permission for you to use their units.

So Jack, I'd appreciate just knowing if you've allowed Austin the full responsibility of controlling your units.

Secondly, you have made a bold move.
But I can't Mod-Mark until I get Jack Knight's word on allowing you to perform this action, as essentially, you could have to remake your post if he hasn't given you full permission.

Let's face it;
You didn't even acknowledge him in the thread! eek! Just grabbed his men and ran into the open, leaving him alone.

So I'd just like to know if Jack Knight has given you permission to take his men first.

PuNk, I stated right here that I had permission to use his units.

Lewis heard the shot and thought immediately about the safety of his troops. He yelled out one of the windows for all the troops to come in. One by one each troop came in, but there was one missing Pvt. Rigby. " OH SHIT!!" Said Lewis. Rigby hasn't come back. Lewis ran across the old wooden floor to the window every step creaking loudly. Then looked out the window towards Rigby's position.

"Oh my GOD" Shouted Lewis "everybody get DOWN!!", "A SNIPER HAS SHOT RIGBY HE'S DEAD!!!" "Stay low below the windows where you can't be seen!" Lewis Scarcely said. Lewis peeked his head above the window Cell to see if he could see anything.

Nothing so he moved over a few windows. Still he saw nothing but the densely packed darkness of the green forest. He knew it had to of been a sniper an ordinary soldier could not conceal himself to this good of an extent. "Well we're pinned here till we can find that DAMN SNIPER!" Lewis yet again Shouted.

OOC: Just thought I would let ya know Jack Knights PM-ED me letting me know I could move his units where ever I want and I could have Full Control over them. ALso Thanks for Mod Marking this one PuNk!!!!!

Thanks,


~Austin!

The following actions have been made;

SFC; Damiam Lewis:

• Throwing a smoke grenade, with it successfully igniting (try to reframe from saying these things successfully happened yourself ) and with a lapse of sufficient time before exiting. SFC Lewis and his 5 NPCs darted into the darkness engulfed with smoke…
  
  
• Upon running into the plume of smoke, in the dark, two of the soldiers have strayed into the opposite directions due to losing their bearings and sight of their comrades, becoming completely disorientated and remaining substantially open and lost.
  
  
• Damian Lewis & 3 Soldiers who entered the plume of smoke, are now 50% partially blind due to the smoke and choking on the soap-like taste of the substance the smoke is built from, blowing into their direction (why did you run into it!?).
  
  
• Aiming at Daniel Bartel’, they have a very vivid sight of where he is; Remember, it’s totally pitch black and you’re in a thick cloud of smoke - In the woodlands. You can be lucky I’m even granting you session on magically spotting him…
  
  
• Daniel Bartel has a good chance of escaping due to the circumstances and he himself being in the plume of smoke, would conceal his getaway in the dark. So it’s entirely up to Daniel Bartel’, whether he complies to the surrender or takes his chances on evading and running.
  
  - Remember, there could be a time gap here where Daniel Bartel’ ran before you made it too him. I’m pretty sure after having a smoke canister throw at him, 30 sec’ time lapse you waited before running out and even when you did run out towards his general direction; He could’ve been gone, but due to the circumstances of darkness, smoke and woodlands. Daniel Bartel’ stands a good chance of evading his captures anyway.
  
  
• You have failed to rattle or tread upon the Sniper’s location.

OOC: Eh that was the problem Daniel was right in my way of where I planned to just run through the Smoke and continue into the forest on the other side and begin the search.

Heres the new Map Guys

[washi]

As Daniel was watching the house he saw one on the soldiers step outside and threw something. As he looked it landed next to him and it was a smoke canaster and he knew something was up and instead of sticking around to find out he ran for it back to base to alert the general.

Remember to keep OOC to a minimum guys, I'll most likely delete all OOC posts when everyone in the thread's read it and seeing as there isn't much to day about Daniel Bartel', I'll make this quick;

- Daniel Bartel successfully retreated from the battle.
(Like I've already said to you, you could've simply just ran back to a safe distance in the woodlands, you have to remember, it's dark and with the smoke outstretching, you would've been covered. I gave you the better odds.)

Anyway, Daniel Bartel's retreated!

[nathansinfantry]

OOC: Damian gave me permission to move him, just FYI

Nathan lay prone on the deck and peered down the sights atop his rifle. He watched as the smoke began to fade and a silhouette ran away from the building. Nathan focused his sights on him before deciding to ignore him. He wouldn't want to go and shoot one of his guys. He crawled backwards from the edge and slowly dissapeared onto the top floor. He began moving from window to window, never staying in one spot long enough to be targetted by a sniper.

On the ground James signalled the men into position, spreading out among the trees and slowly moving forward, every so often turning around to check their back. Nathan did a quick headcount from the lodge and saw only four of the six men their. Where are the other two?

Harry and Daniel rubbed the smoke from their eyes and slowly crawled across the open ground between them and the others. They took cover among the trees and started a 360 cordon, if anyone came near them, or shot at them for that matter, there was no way they would get away unseen. Nathan slowly began sweeping his LOF over the soldiers ready to put down suppression on anyone that came near.

Hey Guys, just a quick word.
You are allowed to move one another's characters with permission, but don't go doing it EVERY post. This is mainly due to the fact, YOU are the soul responsibility of your character and not just that, but it can be viewed as cheating to an extent; Being able to double your moves each post, by allowing the person to keep controlling you.

So please, don't do this very often. Not in a hostile thread anyway.

Following actions have been made;

SGT. Jack Knight:

• No Offensive actions have been made...
  
  
• The smoke is still strongly floating about the area and drifting north-west due to the wind. Edzard Crimm is still strongly concealed...
  

NEXT POST, EDZARD CRIMM!
~Danny[/color]

[⊕ Edzard Crimm]

Edzard looked out with squinted eyes, using his peripheral vision since the darkness had consumed most things. A hissing sound erupted in the distance and smoke seemed to engulf some of the forest, a bunch of footsteps littered the ground, they seemed to be going in multiple directions, one of them seemed to just keep going out of the range of sound. Odd, but whatever they need to do to make themselves feel better I guess. Probably a little uncomfortable sucking in all that smoke, come on give me a cough or two. He thought as he crept along his merry way. He felt as if he was starting to get into their heads, making them think irrationally at times.

He stopped for a second as he looked out to try and find a silhouette in his scope, but none were to be found, the low light had limited everyone range of vision, but you could still fire blindly, Edzard had no intentions of doing such a thing, he had planned to strike some fear in the hearts of the enemy as he picked them off, one by one. He set back to his slow and arduous crawling, he didn't like moving so slow, but as long as it kept him under the radar so to speak, he was fine with it.

Simple and Sweet; Edzard Crimm has successfully moved without giving himself away.
I hate to give tips, but seeing as this is the first Sniper thread, I'd like to offer a little bit of advice to the opposing team; Nathan/Lewis.

- Try and search for him, walking about won't exactly mean you'll find him. Let's face it, there's been many incidents where soldiers have stepped within a foot away from their concealed enemy and not noticed. For all you know, you could be doing this. So please, be more descriptive, search!

Finally the smoke started to clear, lewis was beginning to see the little he could see once again. He gagged and coughed a couple of times getting the soap like taste of the smoke grenade out of his system.

Then turned to his and began to walk, when all of a sudden he heard a low whisper " Sgt Lewis! He turned around and noticed one of the units, he had not a clue who he could care less right now. Lewis replied "Hey follow me lets find this damn sniper" As they were walking through the brushy terrain within a few feet they came to another unit, he was also told to come help find the sniper.

Lewis had decided that Jack would take the remaining 3 men and go
Clockwise searching the whole area and Lewis would go counter clockwise. Until they found that sniper.Lewis came to a small tree and noticed bushy figure laying at its roots. He jabbed his bayonet into it a few times then continued on. He then arrived at another tree a quite large tree which was bare underneath it. His goal was to continue on checking 99.9% of all the trees in that vicinity beings that that was the best place for a sniper to hide. He then came to a smaller tree quite a bit smaller than the other ones but noticed nothing near it. He had began a Zig-Zag Pattern checking all the trees around. He came to the next tree and stopped he noticed another bushy like figure lying at its roots and also bayoneted it a few times.

The same as the next tree all the trees had creepy looking figures at there roots. Lewis and his men bayoneted everything that looked suspicious. He came to the next tree very small compared to the others but had enough cover to hide behind there was also some sort of bush below it which his men an him bayoneted. The next tree was very small but yielded nothing. This tree he just came to by far beet all the others in size it was enormous, beating every tree around, and what a bush it had below it, they spent nearly 10 minutes just bayoneting it alone.

The trees were coming in a very odd order the next tree he came to beet all the trees he had seen in size yet, it was tiny, not but barely enough to even hide a body they skipped it and continued on. They then came to the next tree and bayoneted in its surrounding bushes. They were exhausted not wanting to take another step but somehow they pushed on into the night bayoneting bush after bush. Then they came to one tree, they thought the on they had seen before was big, this one dwarfed any other tree that he had seen. Trying to add some humor one of the units said " Damn by the time we get around this tree we will be in a wheel chair" The other unit laughed Lewis turned around very unamused and said " Hey there is a sniper out there he could kill any one of us an second now shut up before you get us all killed!"

The units gave him a nod back and continued on. When finally they came to the barrels. They quickly walked around the barrels checking every good spot to hide. Lewis then ordered the trench to be cleared neither of the units thought he could possibly be in there so they jumped in.
walking through the trench checking every nook and cranny there was they found nothing. They jumped overt at the end where they met Lewis and cleared the only two trees in the open meadow area. Then decided to work there way back. They walked up to the side of the lodge and began walking around towards the door.

They came to the edge of the trench Lewis had one unit stay and him and there other went to clear 4 more trees outside the door to the lodge. The first one was rather normal and yielded small bush which be stabbed, then continued on to the next tree which was a bit bigger and had nothing under it. The next tree was even bigger but yet had nothing. The final tree was by far the smallest they didn't even bother to look around it. They then went back to the lodge to wait for Jack to clear the other half of the possible sniper's area. Then they waited for jack to return.

OOC: Probably the longest I've ever wrote real boring though I do have to say. Poking trees all night lol fun night!

Austin... You've pushed the barriers, beyond the barriers...
You've defeated the whole object of this website's realism and done something completely and utterly silly, in all honesty, you've wasted your own time!? And now mine!

I've had to kill half of your post, due to it being such a massive overkill in one post and you seriously expected me to allow it? Frankly, you've wasted your turn in this round and the map has been edited to a rough estimate to what I feel you have accomplished... If it's entirely wrong, you should've thought about doing something a little more realistic, than what you just did.

Honestly....!

SFC, Lewis:

• Searching the nearby woodlands through the clearing smoke, SFC Lewis and his men have found nothing...
  
• The Sniper remains hidden.
  

UPDATED MAP!
~ Seriously, I really wish I didn't need to keep updating the map myself. Be realistic, it's starting to annoy me now.

NEXT POST, JACK KNIGHT!
