Dots get these posted to GPG already and send em up the chain. Grab TAC or CC or whoevers around and get em to read a couple, then forward em on. Seriously CT needs to read these himself when he has the time. Theres enough content ere for em to be gettin on with for now, ya might as well send em and see what they think at least.
Also to Patton hmm, I'd imagined it as in they were all there on the battlefield helping each other for the main cause (since they're fully allied now) but diverted now and then to do their own objectives, (the differences ya see while playing each faction)
Would be awesome in the game if ya had the other 2 there with ya as AI.
Remember that although they're champions and have prototypes, they get the sh**** bombed out of em by the sephies lol.
Seriously even on the first mission every time I did an objective it was 1000000000000 bombers incoming! I ended up having to build some super duper important target (arty or something) upfront under a few shields and SAMs to distract em from wiping out half of me main base since they bomb before ya even have time to respond, even if fully turtled.

Quote: This thread will be used for book 10. Usually this is the part where I drop hints, clues and stuff... well it won't happen this time. Even the title of the book will remain secret, even after the first chapter is posted.
No problem, I'll fill the time with my work on the cover for Book 7: Survival, which I have been struggling to make look good for more than a week now...
Anyone has got some ideas? (I might upload my 'current' version so you know what I already have)

I don't think there's really much forcing him to write it as if one champion did all the missions, since the champions just gate onto a planet whenever they need to. It would be a little harder if it was a story where the characters were walking from place to place rather than teleporting I think.

Agree with the CT part.
As for FA story, it's forged alliance after all, shouldn't the three of them work together ?

Aye thats what I thought.
Either all 3 of em are sent into the battles together (plausible since the FA missions are hectic as hell and they're about to destroy the last stronghold) and they just do each of their own side-objectives themselves. Hall telling Timmy to save the civilians, Dostya telling buckethead to do whatever, and so on.
OR each one of em does whichever mission seems most suitable and relevant to that character. mebbe all 3 of em on the first mission, buckethead on the 2nd, Aeonbabe on the 3rd and so on.
Either way would be reyt.

Hypothetical scenario:
Let’s imagine for a moment that the chapter was completed a day ahead of schedule (today) and I had it on hand. Would you guys be able to not post spoilers to save the surprise for those who expected it Friday or should I play it safe and just post it Friday?

I'd probably just say "Excellent..."  .

I'll review it once or twice more and then post it. You guys can expect it in the next hour or hour and a half.

The three most important things in FA seemed to be T3 mexes, ASFs and Monkeylords. Things can't go really wrong if you have them
Oh Dots, I eagerly look forward to your chapter. I can even lose to you a few times to provide inspiration

Chapter 1 A Brand New Day is now online!
It is vitally important that no one posts spoilers for at least 2 days (I'm even hiding my own reaction). You'll understand why when you read the first chapter (I won't even explain in what way either yet, it's that well protected).

Nice chapter. Would the reaction "Holy ****!" be a spoiler?

Excellent beginning dots. More later after the "no spoiler" moratorium.
Check your PMs,

The *no spoiler* rule will end as soon as it becomes saturday (use your own time zone, no need to make this uselessly complex). Thanks!
