So this last week was my first as an "officer" in realism. As such, I got to participate in our planning meeting. Here's the insider report of said meeting:
In attendance: (IO) SA, Backstab!, Boyle, Efren, ronpaul, Bad Brain, YoSpankDawg, Skippy.
(IO) SA: Thank you gentlemen for attending. Please be seated. Efren, I'll let you handle the opening statements.
Efren: Thanks IO. Alright guys. As you all know, this week we attack on Campazzo and then defend on Paysage. First, we will discuss our plan of attack on Campazzo.
Boyle: However...before we get started, Efren and I are now going to disappear for a while.
Boyle and Efren leave the room.
YoSpankDawg: Uhhh....what?
Bad Brain: That happens around here sometimes.
IO: Moving along. Our attack on Campazzo. Ron, have you determined where the mid-line will be yet?
ronpaul: Yes, actually. (pulls out map and begins to draw a line with his finger) Right about here.
IO: That give the Axis a majority of the map to work with though...
ronpaul: Ok, how about here? (draws a line with his finger, even further to the left)
IO: Uhhhh...that gives us even less room to work with...
Another finger draws a line on the map.
C-WHiT: What about here?
IO: Huh, where did you come from? Get out!
Boyle: Let's just stick with the original line ron showed.
Skippy: Didn't you leave already?
Boyle: Oh wait, yeah.
Boyle disappears.
IO: Ok. Tactics. Anybody have suggestions?
Bad Brain: I have an idea. We just can't seem to win, and losing isn't an option, right?
Backstab: Yeah...
Bad Brain: ...so what if we just tie?
ronpaul: Interesting. How do you propose we go about this?
Bad Brain takes a few minutes to lay out his idea. It goes through a few more minutes of tweaking and fine-tuning.
ronpaul: This is crazy, but it just....might...work.
IO: Alright, now that we have that out of the way, let's figure out our defense on Paysage.
Backstab: I motion Plan A.
YoSpankDawg: What is "Plan A?"
Backstab: That's where we just wing it.
Skippy: Uhhh...is there a "Plan B"?
IO: Yes. Plan B is where we wing it, but quicker than in Plan A, usually because time is running out.
Skippy: What happens when neither plan works?
ronpaul: Then we're stuck just winging it.
YoSpankDawg: Uhh...
IO: Moving along. There have been numerous posts and even threads on the forums where the Axis are bashing the Allies and proclaiming certain victory. This is bad for morale. What can we do about it?
Bad Brain: Well, clearly we need to counter it with our own trash talk. We should find a volunteer...
Bad Brain looks down to the end of the table where YoSpankDawg and Skippy are sitting.
IO looks down there too.
As does ronpaul.
Backstab does as well.
Skippy scoots his chair away from YoSpankDawg.
YoSpankDawg looks back at everybody.
YoSpankDawg: K fine. I'll do it. Am I gonna have any backup though?
*Laughter erupts in the entire room.
Backstab: Oh wait, you're serious... No, you shouldn't need backup. We have a secret plan to keep the rest of us free for working on other things.
YoSpankDawg: What secret plan? ...and what "other things"???
ronpaul: Shhhh. "Things." And the plan is simple: just be as vocal and talk as much trash as the entire Axis team put together!
Bad Brain: In a sense, you'll be your own backup.
IO: Yeah. The entire Axis team will be involved in their side of the argument so they will all be frustrated and perform poorly come Saturday night. Most of our team can stay focused on the game plan this way.
Skippy: The game plan...of winging it?
Backstab: Correct.
Skippy: Ah, yes, just making sure.
YoSpankDawg: What if they get really mad at me and take it personally? Some of these guys are like that you know--can't take some playful ribbing.
IO: Do you really care if they get mad at you?
YoSpankDawg: Hmmm. Touche.
* * * * * * * * * *All Allies...who plan on attending Realism this coming Saturday night (12-11-10), please IM me on Steam or send me a PM on the forums.
