Qualifications? What're those?

I was assuming there was some qualifications for the weapons, but maybe that's just stats based.

I guess I'll qualify for a crow bar.

If less that 5 goons die in this missions vs C tier guard I'll call it a success.

Also entrusting me with an m60 on the ridge totally won't result in friendly fire.

I do like having the m60, sorry I'm slow. Is there anything I can do to get better at that? Can you level up in this?

I'm a weak baby soldier so clearing rooms will probably kill me pretty quick.

Ok I came up with this bracket

http://challonge.com/tournaments/bracket_generator?ref=jCq0LFlcKc

I did seeding base on who had the highest Strength + Agility + Health. in the case of ties higher seed went first to Motivation, then Size and finally Will. Here is how that broke down.

code:

NAME:								Strength + Agility + Health
Spanky								43
Snake Doctor							42
Grimace Howlington III						40
Tesla Cola							39 (11 MOT)
Count (von Count)						39 (10 MOT)
Simpson McFish							38
Dread								37
Popete								36 (10 MOT, 12 SIZ)
Potato								36 (10 MOT, 10 SIZ)
Dwayne "The Dwayne" Dwayne					35 (10 MOT, 5 SIZ, 12 WIL)
Actuary								35 (10 MOT, 5 SIZE, 11 WIL)
Steve								32

Every bracket generator created bye's so if we want to elminate bye's we'd have to come up with how to handle that.

The stats I prioritized for seeding were pulled out of my rear end with my thinking being these seem important in a fight. If anyone disagrees we can fight (verbally) over why they think Telepathic Sensitivity should be the determining stat.

1x Physical Fitness Training Center - $150,000
1x Firing Range - $75,000
1x Field Hospital and Staff - $200,000

Bogdons Cousin He will take over our Firing Range and get the boys in fighting shape.

Total = $500,000

I really think getting our guys trained up should be a high priority early on. The field hospital as well should be a big priority, cause we are likely gonna get shot the hell up.

As for weapons, maybe we should give each recruit an allowance? Say $10k each and pick out whatever you want.

I definitely support giving each recruit a stipend to customize their kit, but I think we should pick up radios (once we find out if headsets count for everybody) and binocs for most people and helmets for everybody. We probably want that long range radio too. Will the long range radio let us communicate with our friends in their Autism Plated Sky Chariots, to use Planetside 2 parlance? We'll definitely want that if we can use it to call in air strikes.

Yeah any big ticket support weapons or general items (radios, ammo, extra armour) we can buy as a group but individual weapons everyone gets a allowance.

This but with the addition of the Comms Centre

I left it out because it's expensive and I'm not really sure it'll do much for us at this time that a few walkie talkies won't do. Picking up some support weapons would be higher on my list as well as keeping cash reserves for when we lose recruits.

I'd prefer we go with Bogdon so he can train us on the firing range and save us money. Also we should think about picking up a support weapon, I would love to work on my mortar skills :getin:

I like Cash Money Woes as it fleshes out buying radios/armour and extra goodies. I do think we should just go with Bogdon as he provides "combined arms and general soldering" which sounds like the kind of training we need. For an additional $50k he will stay on with us and train us in the firing range so it seems we'll get the most bang for our buck with him.

That frees up some cash that we can use to discuss buying support weapons as a group. I think there are a number of us that would love to get our hands on a mortar, maybe pick up the HMG for base defense and perhaps throw in a few RPG-7s. The $10k budget per Goon should suffice for each soldiers armour and small weapons needs.

I'm not sure if we'll be getting air support, maybe Phi can illuminate us. The advantages of mortars is it only takes 1 or 2 crew to man and probably doesn't need to be moved much. Might just be able to leave it at insertion point and lob rounds into the enemy from there. Or if we go with the portable mortar Phi mentioned it was half the weight of the M60 so we could easily carry it.

Perhaps we should hold the Thunderdome before purchasing weapons? We will then know who the squad leaders are and we can assign everyone to a unit and position. Then we just buy the weapons for those slots.

So did we allocate buying rounds for the mortar or should we each buy 1 a piece?
