So Wufei… is the Punisher?

At this point, as addressed in my last RP as Trent, the Argama hasn't reached the battlefield yet, meaning our current point in the battle is before any of the onscreen events depicted in the series. The Gryps battle had actually been raging for roughly a day before Kamille and friends showed up, an...

This thing, like a lot of what the Gundam fandom produces, is riddled with speculation presented as fact. AmuroNT1 already pointed out the salient problems, not least of which is that it's a cluttered mess. Not to mention adding Correct Century machines to a UC chart is really unjustified, as are a ...

Nobody's accusing you of being a troll, silly.

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Dervish Team 3 - The hammer-and-sickle-marked target hadn’t been hit by Wes’s opening shots, but Team 3’s leader pressed forward unfazed. At least one of this trio of murderers had to die before they could get away. But none would. Sometimes even the most experience...

- Axis Zeon Mudra Detachment Vicinity - - Zarm Team - Tek, blood pumping behind his eyes and a snarl on his lips, was still trying to line up a shot on Allister when both of Jason’s beam rifle shots ripped through the torso of his Gaza-C. In half a heartbeat, Tek’s mind knew something terrible had ...

OOC: Axis and AEUG posts will come tomorrow; I'm basically falling asleep where I stand right now :| IC: - AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Alpha Team - The lock-on indicator screeched for Stukov’s attention, but with only a backward glance the Russian knew a slight dip would be enough to evade the in...

Scorpius, Orinoco Team shot some missiles at Jules ;) I'm just rolling with it for now but heads up for next time. I think I'm gonna do like some other players have been doing recently and bring back the old attack summaries. I know the sheer number of characters I'm juggling can make my RPs a bit l...

Looks like Coachella and other concerned parties went through and made sure all videos of the performance were purged from Youtube. Too bad; it was pretty cool, and you almost, almost forget you're looking at a generated hologram. Definitely worth seeing. Tupac's always been one of the few rap acts ...

With midterm studying beating me around, I won't have all my RPs up for a bit. I can throw together my Axis RPs real quick tonight because those'll take less work, but the more substantial Titans and AEUG posts will have to wait for the weekend. Thank for understand. Edit: Nevermind, Axis RP will co...

It's really a minor point, but the first we see of Side 6 is in the original series, and the CGI colony we see in CCA is Sweetwater, which isn't located inside any of the designated Sides ;) Overall, though, mecha design in 0080 tended to draw from both CCA and Zeta, with an apparent effort to creat...

That's the impression I got; the guys doing MS Era weren't all that worried about continuity or whatever and just gave us cool-looking artwork. I could see how it could give rise to the 0080 revision myth among confused latter-day fans with no access to any publications or promotional materials exce...

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Dervish Team 3 - Wes swore. The Black Tiger had effortlessly deflected his beam saber strike and then disengaged. But now it looked like the Titans were falling back anyway. Trask was moving to regroup. The armor on Wes’s shoulders and upper torso was mangled and bu...

- Axis Zeon Mudra Detachment Vicinity – - Bindra Team – The pair of Nemos grouped behind a single shield was up to something, Ball just had no earthly clue what . Rather than let himself get wrapped up in such a mystery, Ball focused more on cutting left into a tight corkscrew to evade the distant ...

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Alpha Team - Stukov disengaged the Rick Diases he had been fighting halfheartedly. Pan and Dolk fell into formation shortly thereafter, the inconclusive nature of their clash with Dervish Team 1 leaving a bad taste in their mouths. - Gamma Team - Linking up with eit...

The idea that the 0080 suits were originally meant to be new artistic interpretations later retconned to be new MS variants is an old fan myth. Don't feel too bad for assuming it to be true - I think we've all absorbed it unquestioningly at some point ;) In the case of the GM units, they can't reall...

In the 2012 April Fool thread , we actually initiated a discussion worth continuing. Rather than using that thread, let's pursue it here, where it's more appropriate. The relevent posts: Already explained my vote to Fritz and Red, but really, going the historical route would allow us to focus on our...
