SRW Unification OOC Comm

The end

2016-08-28T18:54:51Z

Posted by: srwu_mods

With all of its missions completed, SRWU is now closing. Thank you to all players who decided to participate, and to our runners who assisted the mod team with running missions and events! The game wouldn't be the same without you guys.

New IC posts can still be written, and in fact there will be an NPC post up in a few days to provide in-character closure. Everyone has a chance to show what their characters are up to once their adventure with Unity Group and Project Unification drew to an end.

This marks a successful finish of the third (and last) SRW-based journal game, the second one with the mod team as it is now. As with the other two, this means final mission stats are now up on the 4koma community. The post is very long so I suggest reading it from the community page, but hopefully it will provide you with some interesting tidbits.

Finally, the closing messages from the mod team:

Final mission debrief

2016-08-27T17:19:41Z

Posted by: srwu_mods

The mission The Hero's Story Never Ends was a success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Eva Barton
Hetepheres
Volya Alkaev
Mizuki Onodera
Seta Albreich
Dido Sybil

Notes:
-Apollonius "Loni" Gavin was saved - from himself. He finally realized he wasn't a hero and how much of jerks his "friends" really were, and even though he tried to flee to other worlds to be a hero there, they all rejected him. So with help of people present, he finally made his own decision, not affected by the Lady or anyone else.
-Everyone returned safely from the strange pocket space the fight took place in. Everyone except Gavin, who decided to stay there. He will not be returning to this world, ever.
-The story is over.

"Hey, you. Yes, I'm talking to you."

"I know what you're up to. A well-deserved heroes' good end, right? And what's next? A happily ever after, a timeskip X years later where everyone's married and with kids?"

"Nobody wants to read this kind of bullshit! It's literally the worst... and listen here. I was supposed to be the hero. I was, but you stole it all from me. You stole my role! I was supposed to be the one celebrating my victory here! Me and my friends."

"Let's settle this, once and for all. That's a much better ending, don't you think? I'm ready to go anytime. Just tell me when. I'll be waiting."

The Hero's Story Never Ends!

The final battle between the good and the bad guys!

Canon: Loni's Greatest Adventure
Characters: Apollonius "Loni" Gavin and friends, versus any number of UG villains (only one character per player this time)
Type: Technically spontaneous in your terms... but if you think about it, they're all planned aren't they?
Setting: Does it really matter?
Schedule: This mission may happen between Wednesday August 24th and Wednesday August 31st. If you'd like to participate - blah blah post below, you've read this a hundred times by now.

Mission "The Story's End" debrief

2016-08-21T21:21:09Z

Posted by: srwu_mods

The mission The Story's End was, despite everything, a massive success! The log can be read here.

The canons Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 and Super Robot Wars Unification are both complete! No further canons remain unfinished in the game... but it is not the end yet.

Participants:
( Read more... )

Notes:
-As the rest of Project Unification and allied forces created a defensive perimeter, the Discovery of Self and its escorts made it into the Lady-controlled realm. There the Discovery's real, humanoid form was revealed, and we fought against Loni Gavin. The stay in the realm didn't make any favors for his mental health, but he fled after being beaten, and the path to the Lady was open.
-The Lady tried to persuade everyone about the rightfulness of her way of doing things, but no one was convinced. Her and her minions' power was overwhelming but Inspector Jou managed to personally crack the tiny crystal that was created as a weapon to serve against her. Despite all doubts it was enough to strip the Lady off her power, and the Inspector survived the attempt too (thanks to Gwen).
-The Lady's loss was a cue for a new opponent to appear. Keisar Ephes, also known as the true Balmarian god Augustus, an ancient opponent of the Lady with the power to control the dead as his minions. He sought to control all life in galaxy, with what remains of Discovery being his key. Selena tried to stop him, but his powerful End of the Galaxy power seemingly killed her in return.
-Right after, Princess Armana and her Balmarian allies arrived to reinforce us, but came under attack by the Lady returning with minions. Neither the Lady nor Keisar Ephes were willing to cooperate, both enemies hellbent on destroying each other - and us!
-Selena then returned to the world of the living (courtesy of Elma using her electric whip as a defibrillator), carrying a message - a song from those who have fallen but still wished to protect the Earth. They spoke to us directly, with UG's fallen friends and allies offering words of encouragement, and Commander-in-Chief Roland Antov hijacking an enemy Grunbein with help of Rani and Brye.
-Seeing her minions fall and her strength wane, the Lady decided to hijack the BrightSaber, as Loni stumbled back upon the battlefield. Unfortunately for her, he was done being a puppet and forcibly threw her out of his unit, critically wounded her and fled. The Lady was then finished off by Walt Schmertz - for good.
-His command of the dead neutralized by the song, Keisar Ephes fought desperately but his unit was in the end destroyed. Ephes himself tried to flee, and kill Selena for good after she pursued him... only to be stopped by the spirits of Albhard, Captain Symphonia and the rest of Team Jelba. Selena then finished him. For good.
-The Lady has fallen and her sphere of influence is gone from Earth. The Discovery of Self was destroyed in the process of defeating her, but its components are still being examined because there was something within them that interested Keisar Ephes. We also regained access to the ruined Fort Alhambra base, though it won't be used by us because...
-With its mission over and marked as a success, Project Unification will remain for some time yet, just in case. Afterwards, it will be dismantled. Its members will either transfer back to their original units (for military people) or go on their own seperate ways (for the rest).

Mission "Inheritance" debrief

2016-08-19T22:24:23Z

Posted by: srwu_mods

The mission Inheritance was a success. The log can be read here.

The canon Iteration/Inheritance is now completed.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Setsuko Ohara (and the Glory Stars)
Mizuki Onodera
Shu Shirakawa
Leos Klein (and Lana)

Notes:
- Olympios Floating Facility arrived at Dakar and started spreading the Chimaera nanomachine fog - and it turned out that the facility itself housed a gigantic Chimaera Core! Soon after that, several similar Cores were discovered all over the word, making the situation dire.
- All of this was a part of Setsuna Zeeck's plan to improve humanity through forced evolution - a way to fight alien threats, especially the Lady, with humanity's own power, without relying on assistance or technology from aliens or blind luck.
- In the end, the Chimaera threat was stopped forever by Leigh deciding to fuse herself with the Core and then asking Willis to kill her. Since Leigh was the original core, this caused all of the Chimaera to die as well.
- Leigh was brought back to life thanks to Amahagara's systems recognizing her as its pilot in the last moment and restoring her with nanomachines. Thus, Elys' wish to use nanomachines to save people, not just kill them, finally came true.
- Evil Jen and Setsuna are both dead. Good riddance.
- Thanks to Project Unity's quick arrival through wormhole shenanigans and assistance from Aegis, casualties were relatively low - at least when dealing with an incident of this magnitude.

Mission "One Who Got to Know God" debrief

2016-08-14T23:44:40Z

Posted by: srwu_mods

The mission One Who Got to Know God was a success. The log can be read here.

The canon Guns of God is now completed.

Participants:
Daniel
Gwen Douglas
Astara Kellin
Roy Garnette
Lenore Iblis

Notes:
-The Lost Seekers stronghold turned out to be guarded surprisingly lightly, though including the final Centurion Chloe. However that was an ambush, and many Seekers more were lying in wait, lead by Jason Godefroy who also became a cyborg in search of enlightenment.
-The huge enemy force was stopped thanks to a Deisitic Disarmament Field, which turned everyone's Guns of Gods off. The ones responsible - Rupert Nestore and Marjory Marita, Daniel's long lost friends who turned out to exist after all, even if he remember their names wrongly! With their sole weapons gone (and their melee capabilities being quite bad), Godefroy ordered the Lost Seekers to stop fighting and surrender.
-The fight should have stopped there, but having discovered that they were the unjust that needed to be killed for Guns of God to bring someone closer to understanding God, Godefroy remotely blew all the other Seekers' machines instead! This allowed him to activate Apostle Mode himself, and he tried using his newly acquired power to travel to God directly - and take Earth with him.
-In the end, after a hard fight Jason Godefroy was killed and Earth isn't going anywhere. His last words were to call out to Daniel as the only one who could meet God now. The Lost Seeker stronghold actually did contain a portal that allowed the worthy to do just that.
-After a moment of consideration, Daniel turned the portal off.

Mission "Deception" debrief

2016-08-14T23:30:27Z

Posted by: srwu_mods

The mission Deception was technically a success - but one that brings a lot of bad news. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Hetepheres
Mizuki Onodera
Optimus Prime

Notes:
-The Chimaera fog appeared in the Sakihama city - the populated part. Leigh Tahlia and the Licht appeared as well, having reunited with Willis and decided that she wants to help us now, regardless of who or what she is.
-Aegis reinforcements soon followed. Unfortunately they were here because of Leigh - as a presumed Chimaera Core, they assumed the fog was her fault and she needed to be killed. We fought Jen Douglas and Michael Verge, but after defeating them they were seemingly killed by a Chimaera ambush. This is when the Aegis CEO Silvius Christensen appeared, as well as Genoveta and Lucille. The trio was enraged by Jen and Michael's deaths. Only after both Silvius and Willis severely damaged each others' machines, they came to a conclusion that the whole trouble could've been avoided if only they were more willing to talk to each other instead of automatically assuming the worst.
-Jen turned out to be not quite dead, having been revived by her nanomachines in a similar fashion to Leigh before. Michael also returned, but as a mindless Chimaera.
-Elys is gone. The only way to save everyone present and the city from the Chimaera was for her to push beyond the Destruction Limit, suppressing the fog over the whole area and weakening the Chimaera, at the cost of her own life.
-Jen fled, the Durandal Chimaera in tow. Trying to chase after her finally revealed the true mastermind: Setsuna Zeeck, Caduceus CEO. Despite her Olympios facility having done a lot of good towards humanity, she admitted to being behind the Chimaera, both their original appearance and the recent return. She warned Project Unification not to interfere with her plans.
-Thanks to everyone's fast reaction, civilian casualties in the city were small. The Olympios floating facility is currently missing, its reappearance will most likely be bad news.

Mission "Smoke Over Earth" debrief

2016-08-07T20:38:27Z

Posted by: srwu_mods

The mission Smoke Over Earth was a much-needed success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Daniel
Gwen
Flit Asuno
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Leos Klein (and the strongerest robot)

Notes:
-With the Lost Seekers performing simultaneous attacks all over the globe, Project Unification was stretched thin to respond to them all. Our only chance was to stop their commander, who was leading the attacks from the (not-so) abandoned old Seeker compound.
-We faced off against the commander, Smoke Centurion Masaru, as well as Light Centurion Chloe. The former turned out to be a real bastard who thinks nothing of using even his own men as living bombs, and managed to critically damage the Steel Wanderer and seemingly kill Daniel...
-Only for Daniel to realize he has unlocked the true power of the Gun of God! The key to that was to kill enough unjust, which he did by fighting the Lost Seekers. With his newly attained Apostle Mode, Masaru was killed and Chloe was forced to flee. With her signal to retreat, the Lost Seekers all over the world withdrew as well.
-Daniel marked one of the retreating Seekers with a transmitter so we know where they're going to now. As soon as the location of their hideout is pinpointed, Project Unification will move out to put a stop to their crusade.
-The Lost Seekers actually did attack Sakihama just like Masaru told the mission participants, but unlike what he said, the attack was repelled without much difficulty thanks to all the security and Project Unification forces stationed there. It turns out villains sometimes lie or tell half-truths, who knew.

Mission "Freedom to Live" debrief

2016-07-31T02:47:40Z

Posted by: srwu_mods

The mission Freedom to Live was a failure. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Mizuki Onodera
Hetepheres
Volya Alkaev and Interitus
Dido Sybil
Shu Shirakawa

Notes:
-Fort Alhambra is lost. The base is now in the middle of a steadily-growing zone of the Lady's influence, and unavailable for us due to obvious reasons.
-What happened is Fort Alhambra coming under attack by Loni and Ilinka who wanted to avenge Desta's death. The Lady's minions appeared to assist them, but they didn't appreciate it and actually destroyed several of them. Their units' sorry state revealed that the duo didn't work with the Lady anymore.
-However, when the tide inevitably turned against them, Ilinka decided to use the power of love that, according to her, means willingness to do anything for the one you love, even kill or make deals with someone you hate. In other words, she used the Lady's power to become a Guardian to cover Loni's escape.
-Gavin made an on-foot return as he made up his mind, and wanted to just have adventures with Ilinka from this point on... right on time to see her die. This caused him to lose it, and since no one in the world can bring his friends back to life - he was urged by the Lady to bring her back so that she may change the world itself. An offer which he accepted.
-We lost Shirogane and captain Lee Linjun, the latter refusing to leave the ship to the end to make sure he takes Ilinka down and protects Alhambra. Interitus is also severely wounded, burned by Tronium energy she tried to redirect to prevent a massive onsite explosion. Because of their efforts, casualties to the base personnel were relatively small, and everyone alive managed to evacuate in time.
