They may not have worked correctly but damn did they give us a reason to constantly run contests.

Well for the 'Cons anyway. For the 'Bots it was a case of "Please Mr Sentinel, can we have some more?"

And I did love those Minicons.

33? Man that's low. And what do you mean I used to be a great XP generator? I still am, hell, I'm even better now since that's my goal, to generate XP. Just not for you. I'm generating XP for people who'll put it to use, and level up faster. But that's ok though, you're still a reliable generator for me. Level running with Medics. Who would have thought that was the way to go... I didn't need an iphone or blackberry to get into the top ranks then, and I didn't when I got there post reset.

I remember when they were blowing through them so quickly, he had to add missions where the winner generated minicons for their faction... and we kept winning them, and sitting on the little buggers. they made more effective beer stands and footstools than boosts.

Yup, no arguing there: nr. 33 was pretty low. I was glad to have just a single level 8 back then, and I was proud of him! BTW... I too have medics which in actual fact do feed off your team. You're welcome, I know

No kidding did they always run out fast! I tried to be careful with them, as much as possible, and I believe my characters back then had some of the last Autobot assigned ones. They most definitely did provide some boost, though...

Oh, you do? That must explain the occasional times you score higher than me in missions... That solves that mystery.

To bad it wasn't enough of one. Looking back, it's kinda funny if you think about it. The Autobots ran "Operation: Get Behind The Little Guy and Hope For The Best" while the Cons, for the most part, kept their pets safe and well fed. Yeah, they were slave labor and sometimes got dressed up as Psychout for midgetbot porn fetish (DON'T JUDGE ME!) but, they had long and healthy-ish lives.

+1

Thats my sentiment toward everybody

Remember the days well when that Psychotic midget leeched xp off of my crew way back when lvl 10's and 11's roamed the game.

As of 10/14 I am officially online for Monitoring duty. My spreadsheet and crawls are apparently working. I should have the data that you not only have provided me, but the data that I collect (When I remember to actually press the damn execute button to read the damn logs).

I have to take a poll though.
Rage Bot appears offline this week.

I need to know if you would like:
1.) Open up the game to one more bot (Levels 1 and above)
2.) Give him till Monday to activate

Also to make this fair, if I do not see any activity from him by Saturday night, I will open up the ranks to the cons to take out my team since I finally have a weekend off and will be playing.

Anshin, i'll be blunt. You should sub him.

Prior to popping up and putting his name in he hadn't been around for months. But for the sake of playing nice if people want to give him a chance then i'll support that.

I didn't know if anyone here may know him in real life or not. Like I said however I am more than open to try to let another bot that is willing to play in. I would throw my bots in, but since I am running this I don't feel right doing that. To top it off if something comes up such as AD can't play or AZ breaks both hands and can't push a keyboard I can sub my team in as a spotter till we can get subs.

That didn't take long. Even if you substitute me in at Midnight (EST) The standings are as such. If you wish to keep the round going just say so and Kills of mine after midnight tonight will count. Kills of me after midnight will count, else I will wrap this up and post the next chapter

Autobot first down: Alldarker


Decepticon Longest Standing: Wrath
Decepticon with most kills: Tie between Name_Violation, Burn, Icon Jade, and Phaze
Decepticon first down: N_V

1: Eff Ragebot. Drop him for someone who'll play and isn't dumber than me.
2: Hows this? Sure, AD beat me in kills, but he was the first one down, and I was the longest standing autobot? Who's your savior now? That's right. Last man out. Here's your F.I.F.O. award AD... or it should be here somewhere... Oh wait, you got capped before it could be finished. Ohhh... For shame.
3: Phaze: Aye, I remember those days fondly. Sad, it is for me to see, that the first level 10 on the board, isn't the number one bot in the game.
4: #2 is probably related to my overall lack of play time with school (and transportation to and from) eating up almost the equivalent of a work day.
5: If we're down, but not out or eliminated, can we still post kills? Or does that mean the round is over?

1.) Spread the word. You can other get 1 high level Bot or 2 low level bots.... It will take me 24 hours to change a few things in what I have plan but I can rebuild on the fly since I have the basic structure. I am going to have to change some of the games anyways.

5.) Right now the Scoring is on Pause till I get more feedback on if we want to sub my troops (or get the new person in by tomorrow), or proceed to Chapter 2. Either which way Bots can be wiped but still actively lock down the Cons. Cons once they are wiped are out of this round, but until we get at least a 50% response on what we want to do I am pausing the tallying.

I vote for you putting your bots in Anshin. You're a highly active player and that helps more than anything.

And I guess I found a big enough asteroid to hide behind if I'm the last con standing need more kills though...

Yup, I'm gonna have to say, sub the Rage Bot with another more active 'Bot. I know A_Z is hiding behind my back somewhere while I bravely jump into the fray, make the most kills, take out whole teams on my own and shield my comrades from 'Con flak, but at least I can see him cowering in the missions I enter, now and again.

And that's why A_Z's no saviour, people!

_Anshin_, you should step in for Rage Bot, I see you a lot more. And for proceed to the next chapter, it’s up to you, I’m easy.

He's your saviour whether you like it or not.

Mod Decree.

Ok, well, I found one. His name's Anshin. He's pretty active and higher ranked than me, and he seems like a pretty good guy. He's fairly active on the boards, so I'm sure you've heard of him.

I can't help that your backside takes up two city blocks.

Ha! Sorry AD. I told you, you can't declare youself the savior, that makes you a false idol. I was chosen by the higher authorities. Just because they're all Con's, don't let that cloud your judgement.

On the bright side, like I said before, you can always be my number 1 fan and like, the pope of the church of AZ. If you do a good enough job, we can become an offical religion, with all the perks you could want. Like tax breaks. Or, you could go for the Con's #1 XP generator position, and take that Zordon. He might fight ya for it though, and well, I hear he knows kung fu.

That'll be difficult it is the autobots your talking about

Seriously did Ragebot not pay attention to when this lot kicked off bring in the super sub

Well if he hasn't said anything about being unavailable i say find a substitute.

Well we're both in the same spaceship errm boat.

No no, crazyfists gives you full support to. I mean isn't it obvious? He hasn't locked this thread yet!

Considering your backside measures three blocks across, I'm still surprised you manage to hide so well back there. And please don't huddle so close, it makes me feel slightly uncomfortable.

The Church of AZ... That's the one where you get to fiddle with all the little kids, right? Nah, thanks, I'll pass.

has slight anger issues and a tendency to lash out at anything he feels is mocking him like big mirrors with his reflection?

Ok folks. I have substituted my guys in. I am only counting attacks as of 6:00 EST hours with my bots when I deployed and starting now at the time of this post at 10:30 EST for everyone to be fair.

This round will go until the cons wipe me at 3 bots or by some freak chance the bots pull this one out of their aft and lock Phaze/Wrath/Burn/Bristleback and Icon Jade.

Awww, none of my kills on Phase will count? Drat...
