Ren'Py Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[PJWhoopie]

What don't I understand?

I think you are making my point for me. In the small space that this mission is.... Any sexual contact between Chris/Annie/Kelly/Sarah would fall under Article 40 you posted above. So Chris telling Annie that she would, "fall to her womanly charms, the contact during the strip down re-entry, and the open chasing of Kelly... ALL fall under this."

And of course, the MC and Annie are Article 27... no questions asked.

 

[PJWhoopie]

Yes Jr officers, but a 03 cant be sleeping with an 01 that works for them.... you are saying otherwise.... right?

Ask yourself this question. What is actually Chris' mission? We don't know for certain, but it is most likely simply to transport the MC to the station. Chris' crew includes Sarah and Annie - therefore critical to her mission. Hence, rule 40. Now what happened between Chris and them? A friendly banter between two friends and a bit of flirting. None of that breaks the rules. Chris knows what she can do and what she can't.

MC is not a member of her crew, neither is Kelly. As long as the encounters with them don't specifically endanger either MC's or Chris' mission they can happily shag together. Kelly is not important at all.

Chris is very mission focused and Annie is her best friend, so it makes sense she would try to protect her from some guy she just met, particularly if it breaks the rules.

Aside all that - how many of you have a "canon" Annie play through?

In your canon Annie play through how are you considering handling the whole Article 27 thing? I'm actually thinking if we're given the option, to ask her which of us should quit.

I don't know what you mean by 03 or 01 but as far as the article is concered they are junior officers, so on the same level. No further distinction is made.

Chris spends most of the day chasing Kelly. She is as much guilty as the MC who decided to get piss drunk with Annie and try bed her. The only difference is that Kelly didn't return her advances so far as we know.

Stop spamming the like button Frap.

I here what you are saying.... I am trying to get my arms around what Chris is protecting Annie from though. A one night stand? Chris comes down pretty hard on her after she is caught. I'd argue that Chris should have called her in and said, "Hey, I need you focused here.... I can't have you getting hammered after hours and jeopardizing our ability to make this bird fly.... so stay out of the bar until we get the ship sorted".

Maybe she did , and it was off screen and we didn't get to see it. If so, maybe it could be added in later to give the seen more context.

Again, I think we suffer from trying to put US Military code on the backs of some fantasy space force. Maybe their rules are different. I have no idea what the British Military Justice Code is... or if that is what Nottravis is basing the Heavy Five structure on.

It is not that I "don't understand"... its just maybe I cast a wider net for "endangering the mission" than most.

Well, Annie's been my fav since chapter 1, thus my canon playthrough is an Annie playthrough. But other girls are rapidly becoming charming as fuck, especially Sarah, so in the end, I don't know what will be canon and what won't be. I guess I'll decide my canon playthrough retrospectively

That being said, even though I said no to Annie during the Drunk&Funk event, I don't know how we should handle that stupid article :/ My main idea would be to bed her on the down-low and deal with it when shit hits the fan. Is it mature? Absolutely not. But Pepito Massiveshlong is a man of danger!

I do, but Sarah is making it difficult for me.

Yeah, I would try to persuade her to quit. I mean her career won't go anywhere anyway. Or if she was unwilling, I would quit myself.

Alternatively, we would steal the Vanguard and start Ophion Space Pirates! I don't think it would take much to convince the parrot to join either, since Rah-Rah's career is on the verge of collapse.

Hmmm - and use Kelly as in insider when she's in logistics (she gets shares of the haul for telling us where to find it, for sure.)

Apparently so.

No, it's different. Please read my or Notty's previous posts. Annie is off limits to all. Kelly is a fair game to all (except Annie). Chris pursuing Kelly breaks no rules whatsoever.

I'll say this and then duck, but Annie is my least favorite Character (I didn't say she wasn't well written and dynamic, she is just MY least favorite).

But, because the game is very compelling and well written and fun, I went through and played them ALL (we all did... right?)

*aside* the game is built as having "choices" at the backbone, but sadly, "having them all" is the ONE choice we don't get to have... yet????

My first time play through, I didn't do the Annie thing because of the whole Article 27 thing.... so in my gamer mind, she was off limits... likewise for Sarah ( as she was jr to me in rank). So, I went for Chris as it seem to be the most logical match (though she is married..... )

 

[DA22]

Apparently so.

Same problem here and also still wondering who will go with for canon, You are way too good at creating appealing females Notty.

As a big Annie fan... I'm totally okay with you liking her less than others
If you look at it as first, all the women are either "militarily" unavailable (Annie, Sarah), married (Chris, Trisha), frown upon by society (Kelly, little green man n°2) or suspicious as fuckity fuck (Amanda, Mike and Marcus*).

Please McGruder, come quick, ye wee scunner basterd!

*Yes, M&M's are frankly women at this point!

No need to duck - the heart wants what it wants.

Re a harem route: Notty has said a few times that it will be possible, but very difficult. I almost said hard and my inner ten-year-old said "huh, hard, hehe!"

I fear the harem route will be real close to the blackmailing waterloving bastard route :x
I don't see any way where more than one girl would get with you knowing you're shagging on the side. At least, not if you're in a serious relationship.

I guess Chris tolerates her drinking because Annie would do it anyway? They're best friends, which is why she is not so hard on her in general. And despite her vices Annie is very competent as an engineer. IMO it's better to have a crew that works together well.

Thing is, they don't know the MC. They just met him that day. Chris can easily see it as her drunk friend being taken advantage of. And it breaks the rules. If it got out that would be the end of Annie's career.

For Cryin' out loud... is there a thread at this forum that Grows as fast as this Heavy Five Thread? I can't keep up minute to minute with you guys, let a lone see/read what happened two weeks ago!
