Well, yeah, and I don't think everyone that goes on it should die of course. A full squad wipe is nearly impossible to do unless it's all NPCs or someone is willing to volunteer themselves as tribute.

Never said all would die, but it would not be a horror story if not 3/4 of a party would die. So I do hope some people where hoping killing someone off sometime during this RP, because if not then I find this whole war story really weird. Only having red shirts die isn't fun either. Heck I would even make a character to apply as a soldier, make him a late addition, get him to rank high just so he could die on that ship, I would do it! For the story it would be woth it.

Don't worry. This probably isn't going to be another everyone lives season for me...
Unless I wuss out.

You mean as the title of the story? Yeah I like it Chryssalid: Isolation sounds great.
No, it is a parody of Alien: Isolation the video game.

Ah okay xD Did not get it at first. But yeah like Aliens, just like I mentioned in the descritpion.

Here's the thing: If anyone had plans to kill a character here why would they spoil it? I like the suspense of not knowing.
I do have a couple of people my money is on, though. And those that I doubt... like people with one character. Death likelihood = 0.

Ultimately, though, raising the cap on characters is partially meant to encourage character death, but I will never force it. And I mean soldiers. If a staff member is going to die there better be a good reason for it aside from spontaneous human combustion or a random rogue Balmadaar appears on the Einherjar.

Well, you know what happened last time. I killed... how many was it again? Originally all my minor characters, including other Sammy and the entire Tribe, almost killed Penny out of reflex.
Dear god. I'm a menace.
I think Pixt takes that spot last season.

Pixy was a menace to the NPCs, not actual characters despite his urge to kill Fay at the end.

Could you imagine a murderer on the einherjar
Saka menacing intensifies

Depends on the murder. If you mean a guy with a plasma pistol/regular pistol and a knife that f**ker is dead. xD
I could see an assassin, but a murder would get caught fairly quickly with so many psions and soldiers on the ship.

Then maybe someone who murdered someone and then took his life, make for a great investigator story xD

There already is. He's just retired, and can't run as well anymore.

Isn't that like one of the big "Don't do this in detective stories"? Having the case be related to a suicide means you ran around in circles for nothing.
It'd be like a detective story about McCarthyism. Nobody wins.
