Really sorry guys. I am not worthy! :BOWDOWN:


You and me both. I think I am, after this posting fit, going to well and truly die screaming. The amount of posts hang above my head like a vast predatory bird. Well, it is better to post and die than live with the knowledge that I ran!

So. Many. Furmanisms.

Remember to focus on the fun aspect. Don't let your mind make posting in to a chore. Find the balance of characters to where your brain enjoys keeping up with that amount and isn't excessively pressured to do it. Everybody's comfort level/character amount is different.

If, "if" being the key word, you feel like you have too much pressure to post, shave off a character or so until it gets back to what it felt like when you were having the most fun in the game. In a perfect world, we'd all have a chunk of various characters and have no problems keeping up with them. Barring that, I'd rather see people snag one or two and keep up with them regularly rather than progressively snagging more and more in a fairly short span of time and then just drop off the face of the Earth when they realize they can't keep up.

I'm not saying that anyone in this chatterbox is thinking of quitting, I'm just speaking from having seen it happen plenty of times before when pressure to write begins to creep in and outweigh the fun factor--and trying to help before it happens again as opposed to trying to fill roles again later. :D

Don't worry; I haven't forgotten the fun, and I plan on bugging you guys sticking around for a long time. :D

I've just felt guilty because of my sickness holding back game progress, recently. It also is no help that I will be gone for the next few days with no computer to at least do some offline writing. It bites.

Oh, I haven't forgotten the fun aspect either. You're not getting rid of me that easily! I happened to look away and then look back and lo and behold, it had been a long time since my last post. I felt really bad about it is all.

Oh on a totally different note, I am celebrating my birthday! :DANCE: Which is, you know, both good and bad. Sometimes birthdays only purpose in life seem to be reminding us of just how old we are getting.

Thank you very much, Cry. :D

On a slightly darker note, someone can just shoot me. This week will murder me one way or another anyhow. I'll try to get some posts out, but I hope you can all understand when real life takes precedence.

:shock: Hope you don't mean that literally, Foxfire.

Of course real life always takes precedent before this silly little transformers RPG.

Wait, did I just call this silly? I didn't really mean that, I swear! Primus forgive me, I have strayed off the path! I must read what's left of my TF comic book collection and watch the original movie at least 5 consecutive times and pray for forgiveness now!

Yes WnR. For shame. Go little Optimus. Punish the heretic.

Anyway, I think I'm going to to ahead and head off to my auditions. I'm trying out for honor band on my flute. Wish me luck! I'll be back later with a post at the very least.

I am! Hopefully. I've just finished Assassin's Creed III and I need to play through Dishonored before I think about getting it though.

Oh and auditions went well. I didn't get in but it was a worthwhile experience. Now if you'd said that to my nervous wreck self earlier, I would've said you were insane.

Too bad you couldn't get in! Maybe next time, right?

Was AC 3 any good? It looked pretty neat from what I've seen.

Good news! My laptop is back in action! It is why I have managed to post today. ... Still wanting my for my creativity on Waspinator to kick in...

Frankly I've been thinking on replacing him, or downgrading him to an NPC status. Whereas I can relate to the poor fellow (My luck is terrible {At least in cards [And dice]}), I just can't seem to come up with a possible story for him. Well, story other than getting scrapped multiple times.

Wassssspinator, terrorize!

Just kidding. I'm actually just starting to watch Beast Wars now. It's actually really enjoyable. Transformers would be hard pressed not to be for me really...

AC3 was good. Really fun to tool around in revolutionary america. Oh and animals! Nuff said.

Anyway, that kind of thing happens sometimes. Just do what you gotta do. I'm sure Waspinator will understand. He was lucky to get you as a writer for the time he did.

It's pretty cool how they used historical documents to make Boston look like it did. It is stuff like that makes me want the game. Halo first, though. ;)

I'm still thinking on it, though. I am not one to abandon someone on a whim.

You wouldn't happen to be referring to a certain someone, would you? ;)

Yeah, sorry about that. I got my iPad taken away until Christmas about a month and a half ago. Only reason I'm using it now is I had to use it for Girl Scouts, and my mom doesn't know I'm using it for other things. Shhhhhhhhh......! :lol:

I'd also like to apologise for my lack of posting, too. I've been trying to post, but life has interrupted me more times than I thought it would. I'm hoping to do something with Blitzwing in the next few days, though, so that's a good thing. I think.

I wonder what the Chaos Gods think about that? ;)

Which Space Marines do you collect?

A couple of my friends paint the 40K models so eventually I caved and decided to try myself (White Scars if you're wondering). The results thus far, however, have been absolutely atrocious and weeping with shame, I'm thinking I should just stick to the novels.
