Hey all, has anyone heard from, or spoken to, Jaam or Eldritch? Neither has posted in a while.

No, I haven't heard anything from them. I hope they're still around. Otherwise, we're down two more 'cons.

Ember, I was just wondering if you want Aftershot to stay behind on the ark, or did you just forget about him?

Oh crap! I forgot about him. My apologies, Wodicus. Just have him there with he rest of the team.

So I know the complex is underground, but is there still a military patrol/presence on the outskirts? IRL if you get too close your stopped by the Army (or something)

Mon Jun 01, 2009 11:53 pm

Well when giant alien robots start transfoming around you and start blowing stuff up I doubt the military is really going to work hard on trying to get them to halt and turn around.

Question: Would it be viable of me to try writing up Heatwave as a regular-verse Autobot? (As in, same general abilities/personality, just an Autobot and not a combiner/13 member.) I had a d20 Modern character ages ago with a similar personality who was a lot of fun to play, so I figured it might be worth asking.

He would be considered a fanmade and fall under all of the rules governing them.

Okies, thanks.

Fri Jun 05, 2009 9:00 pm

Deva and I wanted everyone to know that the rule for the amount of characters you can play in the game has been amended.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Jun 05, 2009 9:14 pm

What is the rule now? (I'm not sure which of the threads to look in...)

Fri Jun 05, 2009 9:27 pm

• We are setting a character cap of 3 characters maximum. If a player proves himself capable of handling 3 characters additional ones may be allowed.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Jun 05, 2009 9:44 pm

Aah. No problem for me; I can't imagine wanting to juggle more than 3 characters anyway. XD

Hmm. Has Armorwind been about lately? Not that anything happening on the Ark is particularly relevant, of course, but I had thought a conversation between Ratchet and Skids might have been potentially interesting anyway.

I've seen him skulking around the boards. I suppose he thinks you should post? Who knows.

I already have the most recent post in that thread, which is why I got curious. :/ Oh well, I guess...

Greetings All,

It's your least favorite on again off again poster here! With the anticipation and excitement of the movie coming out I kind of want to post again. I'm just curious first:

1. Are fan-mades fully allowed now?

2. Are things moving a little faster? I was around in this site's heyday when people would post ten to twenty times a DAY. The slowness would always kill me at reboots and I'd loose interest. If things have changed though...

3. is there anyway Cryhavoc would relinquesh Motor Master?

4. is there a limit of fan mades as of right now? I know what it says in the rules...but also know sometimes things change and do not get updated

News Credits: 1 · Thu Jun 18, 2009 1:25 am

Hmm, weren't you playing some canon characters and a fan character a few months ago? Things haven't really changed since then, but...

Marlboro Man wrote:1. Are fan-mades fully allowed now?

Yeah, though you have to play a canon character for a while first.

People have been posting maybe once a day or every few days lately. Which is better and fine by me... I could never keep up with reading lots of posts a day, let alone being able to think up good responses for that many, yikes. o.O

Marlboro Man wrote:4. is there a limit of fan mades as of right now? I know what it says in the rules...but also know sometimes things change and do not get updated

I think you're allowed to have one fan character.

Thu Jun 18, 2009 2:03 am

Thanks Jeysie! And yes, I was round a few months ago playing as Stryfe and Thrust. I swicthed jobs and Seibertron was disallowed on our internet server as 'Social networking' Since then, due to large outcry of people who wanted on facebook, social networking has been allowed. Now I can go in again full steam. Already posted app for Starscream!

As a second note, I have another round of questions:

1. If I wanted to add the 'Rainmakers' from G1 would they be considered canon or fan-made? I was thinking of using the names:
green one: Acid Storm (obviously)
yellow: Fallout
and Blue: Crackle

2. Would anyone be interested in a GI Joe/Transformers RPG? With both movies this year I think that'd draw a lot of interest! Just have to kake the rules of TFs being Joe/Cobra vehicles and have certain characters being assigned to the vehicle/Transformer. I'd be happy to come up with a proposed rule list if you all like...

Thanks. I've bothered y'all enough for 1 evening.

1. You must play two canon characters and prove you can play them consistently well before getting a fanmade approved.

2. The current storyline is moving at a strong pace.

3. Cryhavok isn't playing Motormaster at the moment. The staff does not feel you are ready for such a powerful character.

4. 1 fanmade, assuming you have proven yourself to the staff.

1. They would be considered fanmades and would fall under all of the rules of fanmades about stat points, special abilities, etc.

2. This board isn't capable of supporting a second RPG. You can feel free to create your own board with this game if you want.

Also you will have to reapply for any canon characters you had previously and your old fanmade is on hold until you meet the requirements to play him again, assuming you still want to play him.

Thank you Devastron, very helpful! I am in the process for re-applying now. In actuality I saw Starscream open and went for him. I will browse to see if any other character really catches my eyes. My former fan-made is on hold, got it! I would want a fan made at some point but no the same one. Similar, but needs to be tweaked and have a new name. Thank you for your help, my STarscream app is already up.

)As always, if I forget to take my sig off of posts, please don't kill me! I forget from time to time.
