Wake Up and Smell the Poop!: The myths, deceptions, lies and obsessions that keep you from having the Perfect Dog

Product Information

It's made bluntly clear that although GDI and the Cygnus Fleet were willing to stand together to defend the Fitzgerald, they are by no means friends, as GDI really wants access to the missiles that the fleet acquired from the ship. In fact, prior to the Conclave and Flashpoint getting involved, GDI planned to outright wipe out the fleet to acquire the missiles.

You do not need to be a lover of coffee to love Simon Mac Rory’s wake up and smell the coffee - the imperative of teams. Simon captures the importance of teamwork and the role organisations must play to create the optimal environment and culture for teams...and individuals to thrive in! A must read. Flo Panel-Coates, Chief Nurse, University College London Hospitals The Cygnus Fleet are probably the most unambiguously heroic player faction in the RP, but their leader, Claude, is naive and instigated a massive battle by accident because he Didn't Think This Through regarding his broadcast about acquiring the Fitzgerald. Following Touchdown, it becomes apparent that while most of the player factions want to help the inhabitants of the Zone, their motives are wildly divergent - GDI and the Phoenix Project want to remove the alien presence and have shown no indication on if they would spare the Shrine, Clear Skies and the Grey Death Detachment are more aligned toward the Survivalists and NAC, respectively, niether of whom want to rejoin the United States, the Cygnus Fleet want to figure out a way home, the Expedition just wants to be left alone, ADVENT and Flashpoint are hostile toward almost everyone, and the Decepticons and Atlas have only just showed up. So teamwork might disintegrate soon. Flashpoint occupies a darker spot on the sink, being functionally an extension of Mitchell's need for vengeance against Gordon Freeman.Missed the Call: The only reason the Phoenix Project missed the battle for the Fitzgerald was because their communications were shot for the duration of the operation. The other powers that weren't involved (ADVENT and Clear Skies) willingly chose not to intervene to avoid excessive casualties.

Since the US Government starts hosting Search And Rescue missions after Touchdown commences, some civilians refuse to join the player factions - they want to join up with the military and leave the zone behind.

Wake up and Smell the Poop!: The Myths, Deceptions, Lies and Obsessions That Keep You from Having the Perfect Dog We Have Reserves: The major reason that Touchdown is a hazard to players not aligned with the US Military is that it results in periodic waves of US Soldiers and Marines being deployed to reclaim the Zone. Said forces are not only more numerous than any of the players, but they are also well armed and equipped. Due to circumstances, the majority of the battle for the Fitzgerald boils down to this trope - while Flashpoint and the Damned Brigade are undeniably evil, the Cygnus Fleet doesn't want to use the nukes but also wants to make sure they don't fall into the wrong hands, GDI has similar motives but is willing to claim the nukes by force from the Cygnus Fleet due to believing Claude's claims of peace to be insincere, the Conclave wants to avoid being the target of the nukes on the ship (Flashpoint wants the nukes to destroy the Shrine, who are allied with the Conclave) and the Grey Death Detachment don't want to use the nukes either, but aid the Cygnus Fleet becuase they know that less well intentioned people will want to use them. Always Chaotic Evil: It's explicitly stated in one of the information posts that Race X remnants, unlike the scattered Xen forces, are hostile to everyone. Negotiation is not possible.A major focus location of the RP is an Aperture Science laboratory located in the Exclusion Zone. Due to all of the advanced technology left within, it's been raided by the Cygnus Fleet, the Phoenix Project, and Clear Skies (who all did so as a single group) and Flashpoint (who aren't really liked by the mentioned group). The Expedition discover an abandoned biolab that was apparently examined by the NAC at one point. Corpses of both humans and Race X are found in the area, but its indicated that whatever ended the fight came from within the biolab... and is now free in the Zone. Shotguns Are Just Better: The Cygnus Fleet finds shotguns to be very nice weapons when they get their hands on them in California. note Shotguns were apparently banned as weapons of war in the Valkyria Chronicles universe, something that was attempted in real life but fell through.
