Okay okay okay okay okay.
First of all let me say this. If you honestly want to rejoin the game and throw your ideas into the pot, then please stick around or at least tell us when you're going to disappear for several months. You make it sound as though you're hurt because we moved so far ahead without you. Well you disappeared of the face of the map without a trace. You have wonderful and creative ideas and I think we would be all too happy to incorporate them into the game, but the problem is you're not around to do that. Before we commit to any of these ideas, we need to know that you'll be able to help see them through or at least try and stay in contact with someone enough to tell them what you want to happen with your character(s) at the time. I'd be more than happy to do that.
Next I want to clarify some game plot points that need to be made in liu of your absense. I haven't gotten around to writing anymore of the roleplay history/record so that you could update yourself that way, so I'll explain here.
Regarding Makeway, we did make every effort to bring him along in a CR Chamber until such time that you could rejoin us and possibly play him again. We don't leave one of our own behind. He is now most likely resting somewhere in one of the more advanced CR Chambers aboard the Aetherspite.
The search for TT/Cambreaker was sped up most to attempt to generate interest in the roleplay since that part only seemed to really interest myself and TT himself. As you may have noticed, most of the other posters, particularly Autobots, have dropped off since that time. I'm not sure if this is because of busyness in their lives, lack of interest in what's happening, or some combination of the two. I also think that everyone, TT and myself included, have big plans for the time once Cambreaker returned and making that search take less time was just more convenient for the plot.
I really don't know much about Abraham Dante, aside from what I read in that article, but I think I would've declined playing him. I've got enough characters right now with Zarak/BW Megatron, Scorponok, Inferno, Blackjack, and Sixshot that I don't need anything else. Of course you would have been and certainly are more than welcome to bring Dante in as a character.
The next phase actually has little to do with the Beast Wars continuity. I'm using characters/ideas from that yes, I will explain them, but it really doesn't affect the general plot as much as you'd think. The Nemesis is pretty much a G1 staple and the fact that it's in South America comes straight from the G1 cartoon episode Microbots. If you want to know all that you need to understand what's going on with the BW stuff, just watch the last two episodes: Nemesis Part I and II. Well that is, if you don't mind spoilers.
Basically all you need to know is that the Megatron of the future (not the same as G1 Megatron) time travelled to the past where he found the Nemesis and tried to use it to destroy the Maximals (Autobots). He was thwarted by the Maximals and the Nemesis crash landed in South America where later the G1 Decepticons would find it and retreive the Heart of Cybertron from it. It was abandoned there, unknown to Galvatron, Dirge, Blitzwing, Inferno, etc. as none of them was a part of the original expedition to find the Heart. So now as it is their best hope against the Aetherspite it has been ressurected.
As for your other plots ideas, feel free to pursue them. Just be aware that there are limited numbers of Autobot posters at the moment so attempting anything that would require quick responses from a lot of people may move very slowly. The active posters are:
Myself
Galvatron
Dirge
TT (but he's gotten busier)
Minerva (same for her I think)
Redline shows up a bit
And that's it. So just be aware of that. Now I should give you (and everyone who's been missing) a brief plot synopsis. I will also explain a bit more about my hoard of characters because I feel really guilty about that.
The Autobots found Cambreaker, yes. After a brief conversation with TT they boarded the Aetherspite, Cambreaker's warship and had a frosty reunion. The Decepticon Zarak showed up and demanded to speak with TT also. TT agreed to meet and Zarak revealed that he was actually being possess by the spirit spark (or whatever you call that) of Beast Wars Megatron, except that Zarak himself is not aware of this. Not getting what he wanted from TT, BW Megatron/Zarak then asked to speak with Rattrap and Dinobot, but was interrupted by the arrival of Galvatron and the other Decepticons. Cambreaker chased the Decepticons away with the 'Spite and they fled back to Earth to plot. Meanwhile Blackjack spoke to Cambreaker about leaving to track down his Decepticons nemesis Sixshot. Cambreaker reluctantly agreed. Minerva has also gone to speak with Cambreaker, something they've been dreading since his disappearance created distance between them. As the Autobots head for Cybertron, the Decepticons arrive on Earth. Here Zarak explains he's found the Nemesis which they can use to defeat Cambreaker's Aetherspite. Dirge takes it upon himself to repair the Nemesis while Galvatron watches Scorponok's TV. As Dirge begins to learn about the mystery surrounding the Nemesis with the help of Inferno, Blackjack lands on Earth and tracks down Sixshot.
That's where we are at. Now, I do have quite a few future plans myself and TT and I have discussed the future of the roleplay a lot. In regards to a Threat To Both Sides, I have devise one and am currently laying the seeds of it. Yes, it will involve the fact that Zarak is possessed by BW Megatron and yes he is the one creating the threat. In the interim time the Autobots must go back to Cybertron and I know TT has some plans for the Autobots in the future. Once the Nemesis is repair, the Decepticons will go and face off with Cambreaker and Galvatron apparently wants to find out what Dinobot knows. As always, STARS your ideas are more than welcome and I will help you in any way you need. If you want to pursue this Diaclonus, Triclonus thing then by all means do so and I will put my agendas on hold for a while.
In regards to my many characters, after the plot arc I'm referring to I will be removing Inferno, BW Megatron, and possibly Zarak/Scorponok (at least the background) so that I can focus solely on Blackjack. I don't really want to give up Zarak though because having Scorponok around makes the Decepticons seem like more of a threat. We'll see what happens.
Good to see you again, STARS. I hope you can be with us for a long time.

Sorry everyone. Planning an wedding and planning a cross-country move has taken my forum-reading and story-plotting time to a low. Hopefully I'll be able to me a little more active in September, but I need to get married, get moved, get school started again, and get a job first. >_______< I'll do my best to stay up on the story, though.

CONGRATULATIONS REDLINE! (Can i use my "Botgratulations" joke again?)
Clearly, you've mentioned the whole wedding thing before elsewhere, and just as clearly, i've either missed the announcement or forgotten about it, but i do wish you every happiness. Oh, and good luck with the moving, and school/job stuff, too.
BLACKJACK, i'm truly sorry if i've given the impression that i'm upset with ANYONE here for MY lack of involvement. What i meant to say was that i was--am--upset with myself and my circumstances, and i missed you all and missed being part of this game, and even though i was away, i was still thinking about how to participate whenever i managed to come back. (i do believe i said i was unsure how much i'd be around for a while, although i didn't expect to be completely gone, let alone for so long! and i didn't keep in touch by e-mail or anything because, well, if i have time to e-mail, i have time to post, right?) But i will repeat myself: i'm glad you didn't wait for me.
i'm reminded of a scene in "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". MINOR SPOILER WARNING. Imperial forces had discovered the Rebels' hidden base on Hoth, and were coming to wipe them out, so the Rebels were evacuating. When the first of the Rebels' transport ships managed to slip past the Imperial capital ship in orbit, the in-base intercom announced to everyone remaining, "The first transport is away," and everyone there cheered.
That's kind of how i feel--like, even if i don't survive, i'll celebrate that at least some of my compatriots are still fighting the good fight.
END SPOILERS.
Thanks for the synopsis. i think i've caught up on my reading of the RP--or, i thought i'd caught up, because even though i figured out the bit about Zarak being possessed by BW Megatron, i didn't realize it had been "revealed", as you say. To which characters has that fact been revealed? since Zarak himself doesn't even realize it...
Also, DUDE--Sixshot splitting into six versions of himself!? How bad-aft IS this guy?! Did you make that up for the game, or does he do that in canon somewhere? (Reminds me of a pointless hypothetical question i've long intended to ask some TransFans in idle time: If six duplicates of Sixshot were each locked in a different one of his modes, and they fought each other to the death, what would the results be?)
Back to the game, you're right about my follow-through; i shouldn't play any characters with major roles if i can't be sure i'll be able to fulfill my part. (i built that into Makeway's profile: He has grandiose ideas beyond his abilities to perform, too.)
...i'll see what i can do.

((You'll have to excuse my not replying sooner. I needed to get that specific 1,000th post in before I did. Imagine if I wasted that milestone replying to this thread? I shudder to think.))
Congratulations Redline and Rattrap. I had thought maybe you guys were gonna wait until everyone had finished school for good before doing that, but I'm excited to hear that things have worked out so well. Next year is going to be such a big wedding year.
transit/STARS, no worries mate. I understand as well as you do that life gets you busy. I've not been able to be around as much as I'd like either. We're just glad you choose to come here and participate in this great story. I rather like the "MINOR SPOILER WARNING" thing you've got going on now.
Why the sudden change of name? I was getting used to you as STARS.
To answer your questions, the BW Megatron thing has been revealed to Time Traveller and any Autobots/Maximals/Decepticons/Predacons clever enough to pick up on the tone of voice and mannerisms that Zarak has been using (in particular the "YEEEEES" he keeps emitting). I was assuming that maybe Rattrap and Dinobot had figured it out.
Everything I've had Sixshot do, he's done in G1, most notably the Japanese Headmasters series. He uses the multiple forms to terrorize the whole world at once and uses his Wingwolf form to kill Ultra Magnus.
Also don't feel you need to kill off your extra characters. Fasttrack, Skywarp, Solder, etc. can be kept around as NPCs at least, just to beef up the Decepticon numbers and give the Autobots some generic guys to scrap when they fight.

I know double post, but since I've not been here for ages I thought it best to announce my return. I apologize for not posting for a couple of months and for the effects this has had on the roleplay and the board in general. I have been lacking in time to visit the online world and more importantly TFL. For some reason I feel like a few months just got away from while I was saying "I'll have time tomorrow..."
Anyway, I'm back and I plan to devote more time to here again.
Anyway, I'm back and I plan to devote more time to here again.
So just FYI, I'm trying to get TT to resume posting here just so we can get some Autobots posting again, but I know for a fact that he has a fairly signifcant bit of things to do over the next week (right Minerva, wink, wink?). I don't really have much to say or do until then because really if the Decepticons have no one to fight then what are we? I would've love to have had the Nemesis up and running ages ago but I'm really just waiting on the Autobots to start showing up again. Hope everyone is doing well. I'll be around if anyone needs anything.
TT mentioned to me that he had plans for a short mission to Earth, but I think that came later. For now I think he was heading you guys back to Cybertron to reclaim everything there and take more over since the 'cons have kind of up and left. But in his absense, I'd imagine that someone else would be welcome to move things along. I'm not having Blackjack catch back up with the 'bots for a while. I want to focus on other characters.

Believe it or not, teleporting Skywarp into Sixshot's line of fire was not primarily about reducing the number of characters i have in the game, or about trying to save Blackjack. Yes, i did it to give myself the option of removing Skywarp from the game, and yes, i did it to buy Blackjack some time--even if Blackjack ultimately decided to kill Blackjack off (even temporarily, a la canonical Optimus Prime, among others), i thought it might be possible to add drama to the Blackjack/Sixshot showdown by giving Blackjack a few astroseconds to regroup. Mostly, however, i did it in an attempt to better fit in with the slapstick comedy of our primary RP Decepticons, Dirge and Galvatron. (See also: Anything i've done with Fasttrack.) i Wile E. Coyote'd Skywarp, with Sixshot playing the role of Acme.
At your invitation, though, i have an idea about bringing Skywarp back online...
i also have an idea about getting Sideways a new ship, along with a few bonus side effects: What if, en route to Cybertron (or Earth, if that's where they're going, although i thought Cambreaker wanted everyone but Blackjack headed for Cybertron), the Ætherspite and Nighteye (i assume both ships are headed home, SIDEWAYS) find several Autobot and Decepticon ships adrift in space? Sideways gets his choice of ships (with other damaged ships nearby for any spare parts he needs and any customization he wants to do), and maybe there are some TFs on board one or more of those ships, if anyone needs to introduce an NPC--or a new PC, if any new players want to join the game. (And who knows? Maybe one of the ships is the one built on Earth by the A-Team.) In addition, why are these ships here, and why are they adrift? Were the Autobots and Decepticons fighting each other, and each side did enough damage to neutralize the other? or were the Autobots and Decepticons perhaps fighting alongside one another, against a Threat To Both Factions...? (Dare you to ask me about my latest Threat To Both Factions idea.)Sideways wrote:I'm not exactly sure how we would make it back to Cybertron.. Are we taking the 'Spite? Or are we gonna take Nighteye?
As ever, i'm not done yet, but i've got to go.
i wrote:i'll double-post later.

Finding a new ship for Sideways is one of my primary goals. The next one would be to return to Cybertron and my lab and extract Rev from Inode- my virtual reality world. I would need to repair my lab a bit more so I can explain details about Inode and it's purpose for the Autobots assuming that anybody has the guts to step into it..

i'm not making any promises here, because i was getting ready to bring Makeway out of the CR chamber--but now i'm considering the possibility that perhaps he's sustained some sort of damage that the CR chamber can't identify/repair, and maybe Makeway has to--as you say--"step into it" in order to come back online? even though his body unfortunately remains offline while his mind enters Inode.
i did go ahead and set some Autobot and Decepticon ships adrift in space. Maybe the Ætherspite and Nighteye will cross paths with my NPC ships, maybe not. (NOTE: Drumroll is not an NPC! even if i do have too many PCs already.)
i reactivated Skywarp, too.
Request permission to give Thundergun control of the Royal Flush replica before Pinstripe and company get ahold of it. (i MIGHT make Thundergun an NPC... if i can bear to do it.)
More later.

If you feel so inclined to try, go ahead. Inode's nowhere near completion. The issue that we currently have is that the scan/transfer/virtualization process takes up too much energy. Sending Rev blew several of the generators in my lab, which shut most of the lab down. Sideways was attempting to reactivate an expermental energy generator which backfired and blew up, causing him massive damage and left him in a stasis mode. Eventually, a backup generator came online and was able to bring REBA (my supercomputer in charge of the lab's upkeep) back online.
So if you can help me fix my energy issues, then I don't think Inode is a bad idea. I personally would love to visit it myself, but someone who knows how to work the computer has to start the virtualization process. Sideways can do it from inside Inode too, but it's much more difficult and requires him to have direct access to the supercomputer, and he has to be in the core zone to gain access to the secondary control panel..

Okay, Sideways... Makeway knows nothing about REBA, Inode, or Rev, and neither do i. Other players probably know about REBA and Rev, but it sounds to me like Inode is news to everybody. So, how much do you want to explain out of character, and how much do you want to save for explaining only in the game itself? because i don't think i understand even as much as i thought i did, and i don't think i understand enough (yet) to plan on (or plan for) participating in the Inode portion of the RP.
...That sounds ruder than i meant it to, although i'm not sure why, and i have to log out now so unfortunately i can't edit it the way i'd like. Sorry. i guess i'm just trying to say i'm curious, but i don't want to pry spoilers out of you, but i'm not sure i can even consider playing that part of the game without them.
