'The Salt Mine' - Event Thread

[RedMan]

20/05/2023
11PM BST

The source of Earthquakes are no natural occurance.
Something is provoking the Mothernature.

A Vortigaunt has experienced a vision.
A vision which calls for an expedition.

The honeycombs are weakened.
A chance for passage has opened up.

Antlions, Vortigaunts, and Rebels are welcome to sign up.
Provide the character name and their interests in regards to the Salt Mine.

Depending on how many Antlions sign up. The event may be S2RP or S2K.
The event will be short and simple. Focused on quick exploration.
Negligent behaviour or choices will lead to PKs.

I may have to handpick individuals should I receive too many sign ups.
Fire away all questions or enquiries down below.​

 

[Dr. sandu]

Vortigaunt name:

'Ostarion'

Interests regarding the mine:

A rare opportunity to explore a hive and to harvest various compounds only found within the various subspecies of antlions. If possible, they prefer a stealthy approach and a small team, as to not waste personnel and resources on needless carnage.

 

[Deleted member 7969]

Antlion name: 'Popeye'
Interests regarding the mine: It is their home.

or

Vortigaunt name: 'Raphael'
Interests regarding the mine: To gather intelligence/resources, potentially for use against the Combine.

Whichever character is needed more, I will play

 

[Oceana Fireball]

Oskar Miles

Salt mine - Sounds like a chance to scavenge

 

[Andrew]

Character(s): Kr'uk-Kelk, vortigaunt
Reasoning: end-goal damages combine, only reasoning needed for them

since i haven't touched that vort since the start of the map apart from today to be briefed on this, i'd rather they be kept as a low-tier slot and other people who've played more get ahead on the choice
have two more characters who'd probably help though if there's enough vorts

 

[RedMan]

I decided to change the time of the event from 10PM BST to 11PM BST since apparently people have jobs. Bleh.

 

[bilack]

Character: Lennie Lambert

Reasoning: Roleplay

 

[dorph]

Character: Cherna Morozova

Reasoning: lets get some frags 2nite baby lets goooo!!!!!!!!!

 

[Valtorix]

Character: James Lancaster
Reasoning: He wants to do everything he can to support the Rebellion that saved his life // OOC: LETS GOOOOOO

 

[DIGGA NOB]

Jaana Braemoira
Biologist. A chance at rare compounds, not to mention compounds relevant to her current research project? Amen to that.

 

[Appetite Ruining Kebab]

Name: Masum Khan Afridi

Interest: What disturbs the vortikind often disturbs Masum. A perpetual debt to pay and a symbiotic relationship stretching back years compels him to quietly desert his usual obligations every so often - in service of his otherworldly allies.

its been a while

 

[FieldersNL]

I'll play with 'Buggers' the antlion, a loyal antlion defending their home from the intruders.

 

[Valtorix]

Im retracting my participation with James this event, I don't have time anymore :S

 

[Fawful]

Name: Luigi Anderson

Reason: RP + he is as blind as a antlion

 

[Slin]

Name: Nils Theodor Flügel
Reason: i hate Antlions >:c......but loove loot :D

 

[Ricsow]

(I hope it's not too late to apply)
Name
Warren Barr

Reasoning
A desire to destroy anything that's either combine, or antlion related, and in this case it might just be a bit of both. After fighting in a desert for almost a month, fending off antlion attacks on the daily, who wouldn't want to jump onto the opportunity to destroy one of their nests?

 

[PrincessKatey]

Vort Name: Harmony

Reason: It sounds like a very fun event and I'd love to help my kinsman with their vision.

 

[Dr0pex]

Vort name: 'The Last One'

Reason: I would like to help the other Vortigaunts as well.

 

[FreeSpy]

Vort Name: Min'Ka

Reason: I wish to play my vortigaunt again and this seems like a good excuse to do so!
