I'm in a discord group with theJMPer, the ban isn't permanent but it is a long one. If you want to keep up to date with the story keeping an eye on the SB version would be a good bet.
 
We know the region Kaga has to be in, since we know where some of her 25mm guns landed on the seabed. And Hiryu is going to be pretty far from the other three, because she didn't get nailed by the opening dive-bombing.

True, but even with the first three there will be a fair amount of spread since Soryu went critical fairly quickly (abandoned at 1045, scuttled at 1930), Akagi was under her own power for a while, and both Akagi and Kaga burned out over several hours before being abandoned.

Also matters are not helped by some 'convenient gaps' in the messages surrounding the carriers' scuttling (probably to safe face in the IJN).
 
What exactly did he do? Just curious is all.
If you look, you can find it.

Do we know how long the OP is banned for? Or is this one effectively dead in the water here?

Probably for a while considering what got him banned...

Yeah, was there for that. The mod's comment implied it might even be permanent iirc.

6 months, but IIRC he might appeal it to a CA/topic ban or significantly shorter.
 
If you really want to know, where you shouldn't look is on JMPr's profile, then you should not look under postings, and you should definitely not look for the newest post.


I would try describing it, but will refrain from doing so due to not wanting to misconstrue anything said.
 
You know, there's a question thats been nagging at me for a while now.

What happens if a ship is 1. at least 100 years old. 2. is comissioned and in active duty when her steel hull reaches 100 years old. Like We all know Texas Self-summoned because she was a tad over 100. But like, how awkward would it be if the girl self-summoned but her current crew was still at sea...like, I think things might become cramped because suddenly there's two or three (or more) times the amount seamen that'd normally be aboard the ship. Maybe, I don't know how any of it works.

Just the question of what happens to the current crew in that case boggles me because i know that when Texas self-summoned her Fairies were her past crew, full-sized. So if a bote is 100 and still active duty when she self-summons...

Like, how damn mind boggling would it be for that current crew? What all is gonna happen? What ,if anything, happens to her steel-hull? What happens to her steel hill when she comes into port and her current crew disembarks?


Like for Iowa, it'd be a thing much like Texas, maybe some full-size Fairy marines asking some peps what are they doing, sleeping in their bunks. (if Iowa both IRL and in-story still has tours were you can spend the night aboard that is. Someone help me confirm here, I only know that Jerjer has that for certain IRL.)

Interesting question. With Texas it seems like we got a full-fledged ship girl and a shiny new battleship. I guess if a ship like Constitution put to sea for whatever reason, and she self summoned, she wouldn't need a fairy crew until she got back to port and the regular crew disembarked.

Texas had to have a full size fairy crew, because the steel hull had to have people to run her. Maybe the steel hull doesn't need the full size faries anymore, and crew from Wisconsin operates her.

I guess other than Constitution, the only other military ship we might see a full crew onboard is the Russian vessel Kommuna (launched in 1913). Maybe @CrazyCog will write that one to show us what it looks like.

While I was working on the next chapter of Red Ship Rising, I had an idea for the next character that I would add. Here are a few snippets introducing the Soviet Hating Battleship Sevastopol. These may change when she actually shows up I might change a few things, but I thought that I would share my rough ideas with you guys. Also, just as a warning, these are rough drafts, and will probably not be as the same quality as the finished products involving them. (especially the last part)

The wind had started to pick up, causing the Soviet Flag to slowly spread into view. Richardson and a few spectators sat nearby watching Gangut's 'new and improved' version of the summoning ceremony. She had spent quite bit finding the right 'ingredients' summon a new ship. Ekaterina's only condition was that it had to include alcohol of some kind (Richardson half expected it to be an excuse to drink it if the ceremony did not go as planned).

Considering the success of her Admiral's summoning of her, Gangut decided to go with same approach… multiplied by ten. This time, she managed to borrow some speakers from Naka, and had the Soviet Anthem blasting at full volume. She herself was standing on a stage she made herself, Soviet banners draped on poles sticking out of the floor, and across the front. Honestly, the whole display made the ship girls present kind of nervous, as this represented a nation that they had never been on the best of terms with.

Gangut smiled as she stood confidently with her arms crossed. She took a deep breath and started to sing along with the music. That was when the light started to shine. Now some summoning's were seen as more peaceful, while others, such as Arizona's, were seen as more violent. This definitely classified in the latter category. A form started to rise, although for some reason, it's body did not seem quite solid yet. In fact, it seemed to violently be changing between two distinct forms, one slightly larger than the other. The change seemed to affect the water as well, as it was violently seething, so much so that some of the spectators could swear that steam was rising from it. The figure slowly approached, the most violent of the water always centred around it.

Finally, the smaller form seemed to become the dominant one, and some features could be seen. The face seemed to have a striking resemblance to Gangut's, although the eyes were colder, and more focused. Unlike Gangut who mostly wore white, this girl's clothing was all black in colour. Her trench coat was tightly buttoned up, and her black hat stood in contrast with her shorter, wavy white hair. As she approached, Richardson noted that her hands were clenched tightly, and her mouth was twisted into a grimace.

As soon as she reached the shore, the girl approached the stage. Gangut jumped off and strode briskly towards the new girl, "Comrade! It is so good to…" Her statement was interrupted by the girl punching her in the stomach.

As she watched the battleship fall, the girl uttered a single sentence, "Never call me that again." She then went on to start tearing up the stage, along with the banners and flags. Most of the onlookers were stunned, while Pennsylvania gave a rare smile as she watched the girl spear one of the speakers with the flagpole, "I think I am going to like this girl."

She will bring some humour:

Sevastopol looked at Jane with a critical eye, "Are you really helping my sister revive the Soviet Union?"

Jane shrugged, "It makes her happy when I help out, so kind of?"

The battleship's face immediately softened and she let out a bark of laughter, "I see, you are humouring her!" She gave Jane a pat on the head, "You are a good girl, although you really don't have to go that far. But don't worry," She held up a notepad, "I have a list of things to help cure her of her Soviet sickness." She flipped a page and looked at Jane, "Is electroshock therapy still a thing?"

-0-​

Arizona and Hiei watched as Gangut put up a Soviet poster, only to have Sevastopol tear it down as soon as she moved on to the next one. Arizona turned to Hiei, "Should we stop them?"

Hiei held up her phone and started recording, "In a bit, Mutsu will definitely want to see this."

But not all if it will be sunshine and rainbows:

Sevastopol sat beside Pennsylvania, "How do you think I feel? I helped take down one government and helped put in a government that was just as bad, if not worse." Her eyes started to water, "I tried to make up for it, but my crew ended up being killed or sent to labour camps." She slammed her fist into the stone bench, causing a piece to break off, "And worst of all, I was helpless to prevent my sisters from being corrupted. They had their names stolen, and given new ones to snuff out their old identities. Gangut was bombarded from the air, Petropavlovsk's crew ended up with the same fate as mine, and during the wars, she ended up becoming a floating battery. Worst of all, our youngest sister Poltava was slowly stripped of her parts for our use." She turned to Pennsylvania, who could see the tears running down her face, "You watched your sister die, but I watched mine suffer."

-0-​

Gangut knew that she was outclassed. The Abyssal form of Marat had all of her weapons trained on her. The poor girl was stuck in her floating battery configuration, and with every shot, she could tell that it hurt the poor girl. The other abyssal destroyer present smiled, "Why do you oppose us comrade? We both want the same thing. To recreate the empire that we served." She held out a hand, "Come Comrade, and together we can show everyone which nation deserves to be…"

Her speech was cut short by a shell slamming into her chest, causing her to skid back. A voice came from behind Gangut, "No one tries to corrupt my sisters." Gangut twisted her body to look behind her. Sevastopol was standing there, although she looked a little different. She looked older, and due to the addition of a bulge, certain parts of her body had become more defined. The biggest change was the fact that her armament was much more extensive than before, and she had unbuttoned a few buttons at the bottom of her coat, causing it to flutter more in the wind.

There was a moment before the destroyer recognized the arrival, "Oh look, it is Parizhskaya Kommuna. I see that you have finally embraced your true self."

Sevastopol gave a crooked smile, "On the contrary, I have not embraced anything at all." She lifted her arms up, "Do you see any red on me? I have accepted the upgrade, but not the form. Besides, not all of my new equipment is Soviet made. The Americans were kind enough to let me use their superior anti-aircraft detectors, much better than your Soviet ones."

The destroyer raised an eyebrow, "If that is true, you should not be standing after forcing your body to adapt to that much foreign equipment."

Sevastopol smiled, "Oh it hurts, but right now, I want to blast your head in more than I want to fall over." The destroyer tensed as she heard the sound of more ships approaching, while Sevastopol dropped her arms, revealing her reinforcements, "Besides, I brought friends."

I am know imagining battleship Panteleimon being anti - communist and very unsuccessfully trying to explain that her mutiny was just a teenage radical phase she has grown out of.

Yes, we do.

Overnights are actually the #1 source of revenue for most warship museums (we're rather rare in that our #1 is still ticket sales). That said, oh boy does that webpage need updating. That video is from literally the very first overnight we did.
 
Just read the new Chapter.
For the poor souls who don't go and read it:
Mo's back.
 
OH HELL YESS!!! having just read the latest chapter all i have to say other than that is ... i wonder how terrified the abyssal's are gonna be when they realize just how much firepower is coming for them

Wonder if she'll appear before sailing or else make a 'save-the-day' kinda arrival.

Jersey: Save the day-deal...drama queen.

:D
 
I can see Mo teasing Jersey about her outfit, while Jersey teases Mo about being a movie star. Then there's this scene:

*As Jersey and Mo are chatting, a fairy in a chef's hat and garment climbs out onto Mo's shoulder*
Fairy: Hey! Hey!
Mo: Understood...thanks, Chief.
Fairy: Hey. *Goes back inside.*
Jersey: Who was that?
Mo: Just a cook...a lowly, lowly cook.
Jersey: *Gets it after a few seconds* Seriously?

:lol:lol:lol
 
Mo showing up like this could also give Jersey a little hope, since if Mo can come back right after sinking, as did Big J herself, maybe it isn't too much to hope for Lil' Whiskey to come back eventually.

Come to think of it, the only two Iowa-class battleships to come back so far have come back after being sunk.

Quick, somebody set a scuttling charge on Iowa's-

Iowa: *Ominous silence*

...Bad idea. Scratch that.
