There's a lot to cover here, folks, but first things first. Let's address your most obvious mistake: Leadership. I know it's post-apocalypse, and good leaders are as scarce as an untainted water supply. But there is never and has never been a logical or remotely justifiable reason to follow ANY man that makes the conscious decision to look like THIS:
Do I even have to say it...? |
Try to argue to the contrary. I dare you... |
I feel like you guys have taken all the wrong cues from Mad Max. As cool as the guy may be, Lord Humungus is NOT a role model nor is his gang. For one thing, you need to make a name for YOURSELVES. Hell, what do you even call yourselves? "The Shadow Warriors?" Look, that doesn't play. You guys don't even specialize in stealth. At best, you've got ONE adequate ninja on the roster. You're gonna have to do a little better than that. "The Black Warriors?" I'm just gonna say it...I find that racially offensive, and your buddy Williams over here should too. Really, what the hell kind name is that anyway? You've got this weird hard-on for a "darkness" theme, and the goth thing died once they made sequels to The Crow. Your whole mindset is tragically stuck in the worst decade I've personally experienced, and that has to stop. IF you absolutely HAVE to take cues from other gangs, look at "The Southern Cross" or "The Kingdom of Shura" from across the other pond in the land of Hokuto no Ken. The only guy that could stop them was an ultra-violent mystical Bruce Lee. You guys are getting your asses handed to you by a couple of twins in denim vests. That brings me to my next point: Strategy.
This reeks of desperation on multiple levels... |
Moments prior to catastrophe |
This is a terrible idea. I can describe our friend in a lot of ways. Strong, loyal, a talented sousaphone player, and a lover of cats. But notice that the words "nimble" and "fleet-footed" are NOT among those words I chose. Look at his legs. They agree with his body even less than his eyebrows do, and that's saying A LOT. Plus, his footwear has always been at odds with him. That's why he rarely kicks...other than the obvious mutation, I mean. Again, you HAVE to play to your strengths or else. Putting a guy like Abobo in this position is the reason why things went downhill for you so fast. He needs a steady terrain with an enclosed environment so he can trap his opponents and put his mass to good use...
As bad as things are at this point, there is still potential here. You've got Machine Gun Willy, so that's a plus. I'd work on that name, but otherwise you're good. Don't link yourselves up with any guys that look like this...
...and you should do just fine. You've got the numbers, the attitude, the resources (seriously, how the HELL did you guys get so many helicopters in this age?), and a diversity about you that I personally admire. You just haven't hit your stride yet, but you will as long as you stay on a reasonable path. Don't over do it, and play to your strengths. Find yourselves a decent leader if you must, an--
Looks promising...Wait...
...fuck it. You're on your own.
