Responding back correctly does it come with an instruction manual we're a recycling firm not a buncha mind readers

Ah Phaze, bragging about your short comings doesn't impress anyone except for Absolute Zero.

Hmmm.. I am going to have to start taking pictures of my conversations for it seems the edit fairy has been hard at work without my knowledge... :-?

Round One:
One by one the six Decepticon generals emerged from the tunnels and made way to
the court yard. Slowly they started going over the intel given to them by the
minicons.

"By the look of the arrays and sensors that are setup, they are long range motion sensors and short wave communication sensors.
They are out there for some reason. It really makes no sense though. Why those
five and whats with the training? Those are some the best that the bots have to
offer." asserted The Potentate. "Look at this " he continued. "The arrays are
set in such a way that they are going to see us coming, no matter what. We need to come up with a plan".

"Let them, it won't matter when I am done." replied Burn.

"What are you going to do Burn, lead another set of your troops to the dismantling line? You can't expect Sixshot or one of us to come save you everytime" Phaze questioned snarkily.

Burn's optics flared brightly causing Phaze to second guess his questioning, but only for a second.

"I am just saying we hit them fast and hit them hard." growled Burn. "We can take them if we come from the around the sun. If we fly in with a single cruiser, the electromagnetic interferance from the sun will hide just long enough to catch them off gaurd."

"It won't work. Their sensors will pick us up just about anywhere we come from." observed Wraith. "I say that they come in from this asteroid belt here. The rocks will give us just enough cover and if we ride behind a large enough one the sensors won't pick us up. We would basically drop in on them"

"Or get smashed to pieces. Burn may not be right often, but I would rather take my chances and come in from the Sun." stated Icon Jade.

"Well you can do what you want," chimed in Name_Violation, "but Wraith has a point. I would rather take my chances at being smashed by a rock than just giving the bots a free shot."

"Then I guess its settled." said The Potentate. "We divide up and come in from two angles of attack. I also think Galvatron is right, perhaps we should pick up Bristleback. Question is does anyone know where he is?"

"I do. In fact I just bought some old broken combat drones from him" stated Name_Violation. "I'll tell him to meet up with us."

Soon the six started to walk away and towards thier respectable ships, their plans set. This would be the easiest assignment that they had.

"I don't like the idea of sharing my Energon with you five much less that...that merc." snarled Burn.

"Your energon Burn? We just hope you don't shoot yourself in the face before we start this. Hell I am willing to bet my share that you don't even match me in kills." goaded Phaze.

"Phaze, you may be my first kill"

.... End back story....

Good hunting cons. See you in chapter two.

Add MooseMuncher to your lists. He's on my original post but must have got lost in transition.

Just to clarify things for you busy folks. I am going through the logs (at least the 6 at a time that I can see) for everyone (5 players x 12 bots) and (7 players x 6 bots). I will be trying to capture as much data for you guys as possible, however there are times (such as today that I forgot to turn the watches on) and probably between 2am and 5:30am est when I sleep that I won't be watching. If you notice I haven't captured, or feel like you enjoy posting feel free to.

by **Phaze** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 10:40 am

right the cons have 6 bots who if stasis'd we loose but can the rest of our crews take out any of the autobot players blokes or is it specifically just the 6 we've registered. i have a good idea what the answer will be but its just for a confirmation

by **_Anshin_** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 10:58 am

Yeah, my communications skills sucks. I know, but I guess that what marks me as a Bot :lol:

.

Rules:
Cons - You have to use the 6 bots you have selected to knock out any of the bot's bots. So for example
Phaze has selected these cons:
Phaze, Iontrail, Cydonia, Stepdown, Dropout, Malodrax

If he kills AllDarker's bots with anything outside of those 6 listed, the kills don't count. If any of the bots take out 5 of the 6 Cons he has listed with any of their troops then he is officially Stasis locked.

This is why the bots have to take down 5 of 6 listed cons (team work counts, so AD can take out Phaze, Iontrail, and Cydonia while Vic takes out Stepdown and Drop out) to stasis lock Phaze.

The cons have to just take down 3 of each of the 5 played bots. If after 2 days I don't notice any movement on a bot (Say AD stops playing for 3 days) I will allow my bots to be substituted for his to be fair rule. By the end of the day you should see a post about status and locks to make tracking easier.

Thanks for your patience on all of this guys and I promise by the later chapters this will be much smoother sailing

OK... Here's another question: Potenate has already stasis locked several of my characters (>3)... Does that mean I'm out of this round of the game, or can I keep on recording stasis locks on the 'Cons?

You can keep fighting. Pretty much what is happening is this. The cons have to stasis lock 1/4 of the troops on the field to win. The bots caught off guard, have to defend and stasis lock each of the Generals to defend the position. So while the Bots can't be taken out of the game (Hence full 12) they can be taken down quicker. The Cons once locked can not put down any more bots (Out of the game), but to make it harder you have to take 5 of the 6 out. This was just meant to be a quick skirmish so that way I could test how easy it would be for me to keep a constant monitor on 12 people and their characters and just have you guys make decisions and play while I did the data collection.

I may not have the opportunity to write a new HMW, but I can still try to bring new life to the regular sign in and deploy.

if me or AD dont play for 3 days, call the morgue

seriously. Something bad probably happened

Thanks for the rapid clarification, _Anshin_... And it looks like us 'Bots only need to lock one more of N_V's team to remove the biggest threat...
