Lady K Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Hey fellow MANTIS members, Agent Echo signing up as Special Forces. Welcome Special Forces Agent Echo! The Council Of Five has determined that you are ready for your security clearance and thus will now be able to access the private communications center. Quote
LucByard Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Welcome MikroBricks and Echo Fox to the mysterious, sinister, covert and occasionally slightly bizarre world of MANTIS. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Hey, all. Out of curiosity, would it be possible for you to insert some kind of tag to the Spider Web story for ease of rereading? Considering that the "Builds" segment of the Players and Planets post only gets updated now and then, it'd be a lot easier to merely click a tag to find all story builds than sifting back through build backlogs. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote

I know that my part of the story starts at chapter VIII, but not many other players catalogue their stories. Quote
Big Sal Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) I'll try to go back through and do this for everyone's if I get time, but it's trickier than it sounds - there are some builds where drawing attention to the fact they're related might be a spoiler Edited August 16, 2016 by Big Sal Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 You don't have to tag all the back story stuff. I'm sure that'll be linked in by players as it becomes relevant. Ie: for my Invasive Species storyarc, "Catching-Up With Odus Dillberg" is not tagged as part of the main story, even though it sets the stage for the events that unfold. So, You don't have to tag all of Spacersteve's old builds. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
EpsilonEta Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Give them two different tags then (Like spider and web) and players can choose which parts they want to read (or can go back to the web stories later) Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Give them two different tags then (Like spider and web) and players can choose which parts they want to read (or can go back to the web stories later) Good idea. And I'd recommend going with S.P.I.D.E.R. instead of spider, just so you don't run up against all the people outside AG who build Lego Spiders. that's why Octan occasionally uses the tag "Octancorp" here. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited August 16, 2016 by Dannylonglegs Quote
pombe Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Not enough bricks in your corporation's colors? NEVER FEAR!!! Check it out what my crew has done: an entry with just terrain an entry with Kawashita colors we be pirates in this entry, yar a spaceship made from space whale flesh working with the Merchant Confederacy using M.A.N.T.I.S. vehicles using Kawashita vehicles and a M.A.N.T.I.S. fitness club dealing with the Dust Demons racing with the Separatists Quote
Brykster Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) (out-of-role comment) Did you come up with the planet on your own, or are there pre-set types of planets to explore? It's all very cool! (to the person who made the base on the magma-filled planet) Edited September 29, 2016 by Brykster Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 @Brykster Check out the galaxy map for all the Planets in Andromeda. The world is back in balance, because the last post of this thread is no longer by pombe. Quote

SpacerSteve Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Attention all MANTIS Personell. We interrupt your regularly scheduled MANTelevision program for this important message from CEO SpacerSteve from the reactor-side lounge. S- Greeting MANTIS emloyees. Look at the camera not the blaster! - Anyway...As you all know Big Sal has been busy working on an employee weaponization project in seclusion. An Octan spy posing as Big Sal has infiltrated Sal Labs with help of Chief accountant Long. The two have escaped in a top secret MANTIS ship. The two are considered armed and dangerous. The Council of Five has placed a bounty on the both of them. 20 credits alive and 50 credits dead. The spy will insist that he is the real Big Sal. Don't believe him no matter how convincing he is. Remember shoot first and don't ask questions! Goodnight..... Quote
