I just realized how much of a bummer snowwolf's arc is.

He not only fails to rescue his girlfriend, he fails, AND gets her killed, AND gets killed himself, AND gets like 389 other prisoners killed just so he could take the chance to save his girlfriend but ultimately completely fail at everything. Seriously, what a downer. Good job snowwolf, you hero. You got 389 people plus your girlfriend and yourself killed and you accomplished nothing at all.

I'm joking for the record. Don't take it personally.

The good thing about snowwolfs new character is that he can easily be changed into a fighting force. Just because he is the leader only means he gives orders otherwise he is just like a normal soldier. I just hire him and I am in charge of him by default still making me one of the three big leaders and giving his what he wants.

Leaders don't fight, they pay other people to fight for them.

If he's in charge of the company, he's important and he's not going to risk his life on stupid adventures.
If you hire him, you belay your orders to him, he commands his people. He doesn't fight, those days are over.

Quite often I make compromises, and I ask if its OK if its changed to this, people can only object. But I don't want another CEO of a company, it's not what the story is primarily about. I have enough.

But there is no such thing as a CEO of Mercenaries they have a leader and that leader is out fighting while the guy who hired them stays home.

No, there isn't. But there is a top dog. A top dog doesn't go out on operations, he is valuable. This is why Generals don't participate in open battle or high ranking officers.

He's not a soldier anymore, he would be something much more valuable.

He's not a lowly officer, he's the head of the group. He described it as a large group with many resources. It's not a gang you're hiring, it's almost a crime syndicate.

**snowwolf1996** 28th August 2012, 3:32 pm

May i ask, why are you both using the same rifle? excuse me if this sounds stupid but shouldn't they have different rifles because each of the armies have different weaponry, and wouldn't an N14 have a more advanced rifle?
just something that sparked curiosity

They do have different rifles. As stated, normally, Western marksmen use M14s with scopes mounted onto them, but in the enclave, supplies get messed up and a lot of Western troops use captured weapons like L1A1 battle rifles. Desmond uses a NET R700 because it's what is available.

Also, it's NI4, as in National Intelligence, Section 4, not N14.

An NI4 may not necessarily use a more advanced rifle, just because they're special forces. If they deem a rifle is fit for their duties, they use it. He could've also very easily used an L1A1 with a scope on it, or a completely new system, but even their country has limits to what they spend. It's cheaper to use a bolt action rifle than develop an all new weapon just for them.

In short, they don't necessarily have to. Old school special forces used the same weapons that regular soldiers do. It's not about the weapon, it's about the man behind it.

Also, you need to sign your new character up (update him)

Remember that everything is approved except for that he is the head of a mercenary company. He can be a part of it, but he can't run it. He can be the leader of a mercenary team, but not the head of it. Anything that is plausible for a man his age.

Is my character, Ztron's, and Destroyer's out of prison yet?

I don't know if I should be waiting for a timeskip or if I can start writing updates.

**. ADestroyer360** 28th August 2012, 9:13 pm

What West said. Also, what's the story on Clark's gimlet?

Sorry for this not being clear.

Your characters were released when the charges were dropped. Because West's character was bailed out by high-ranking operatives in OFSA (Merely said the word) all who were arrested because of connections to him were released as well.

Information you should take into account when writing your update:

The West is taking security very seriously now among their PMCs. They can't assign you government troops because of shortages and also because you're a foreign merchant, but they're "encouraging" you to increase your security by 1000%. Failure to comply will result in contract termination.

Officially, the policy is called "No weak links".

@Destroyer

What do you mean by gimlet?

**Desert Sleepy** 29th August 2012, 8:32 pm

I just don't know what I'm doing. I know I'm apparently in a town called Sky and apparently want to hire mercenaries to take out western supply lines. But I have no idea why. Do I just want to fuck up Ico's business in general and ensure the East wins the war? Why, will that give me a monopoly or something? I don't know what Durov wants either, so I have no idea how I could work with him. I also don't know what I'd do once I hired mercenaries. Just tell them "Go west" and then you'll fine tune it so it makes sense in the story (IE changing "Go west and kill stuff" to "There's a caravan that ships guns for the Ico Corporation that travels along the southeastern interstate up from his factory in North Mexico. Use bla bla equipment to take it out and retrieve the supplies.")?

Basically, what am I doing and why? I'm not sure enough of my situation to make a good decision and I feel uncomfortable writing things into someone else's story.
