Yeah, pretty much what Sumo said. We'd love to have you if you're interested in joining. Feel free to PM me with questions if you have them, or post them here or ask a mod or another of the players.

Thanks! Ya know, those LONG guideline posts for the RPG game, makes me think this is quite a complicated thing, and will take time for me to figure out. If I make a mistake here and there, please bear with me.

Of course! I remember it looking kind of intimidating when I first joined too but its not too bad. Honest!

Thanks! I was kinda tempted to let this go... but then I would be missing out I guess.
Btw I've been trying to figure something out, so I may have to PM you...

We all make mistakes when we get started. One of the biggest ones I done early on was when I had the entire Aerialbot squadron and attempted to play suicide with them in the form of Superion by taking on a nuclear warhead. There are only 2-3 people here who would remember that crazy idea.

HA! I so remember that!

So old...

it was a great moment that really tore the heart out of many of the Moderators at the time. Was fun to entertain the fall out though.

Is this where the other Contructicons are? decepticon-battlecruiser-thanatos-tides-of-revolution-p1723132.php#p1723132 Do I need to do anything else before starting the RP? Do I need to wait for something on the rollcall? I posted on the rollcall that I now have Bonerusher, after Insidious approved my post for Boney, is that all?

Yep, that's it. Start your character!

How do I start my character? Was me doing the rollcall thing starting it?

The roll call is just a handy way for each player to keep track of their own characters. In my case, I use it to get a mental refresher on who I've posted for recently and who I haven't.

Getting started, in your case, will be diving into the Thanatos thread and picking up from whatever Mastersoundblaster last referenced Long Haul doing and then...making him your own

Yay! I just posted my first post on there! decepticon-battlecruiser-thanatos-tides-of-revolution-p1723872.php#p1723872

I've had a little bit of writing experience, and I read books a lot, so this is a piece of cake.

By the way, I have Bonecrusher, not Long Haul. I don't know if that's what you meant by "picking up from whatever Mastersoundblaster last referenced Long Haul doing and then...making him your own" but I'm just clarifying anyways.

Generally, you should refrain from writing for other people's characters.
Needlenose is Mastersoundblaster's character. Unless he okayed you to use Needlenose (which you should note in the post you have permission)

PSA over

PS for the PSA (i'm tipsy... al, hail the wine)

I know, but I only have 1 character: Bonecrusher. So it's a bit hard too use him exclusively, without making the others say something. Also, I said BOTH of them said "oh shut up" at the same time, so I was not using only 1 character, I was just basically saying the others were annoyed. I didn't make them say anything beyond that.

I also added a note at the end of my post to clarify.

It's a rule of the game (rule 5 in fact rpg-rules-and-guidelines-t33652.php )

It doesn't matter. You cannot either speak for or control another player's character without their permission. You can walk up and begin a conversation with them, but then you have to wait for those players to post and have their characters respond back to you. That's how the game is played and how you interact with others. Having one character doesn't stop you from interacting and doing things.

Also, Bonecrusher just got done partaking in a day long battle with the Fallen down in Australia where he and the other Constructicons formed Devastator to help defeat the Fallen. However, Devastator was forced apart by the Fallen's dark energies and the Constructicons all suffered damage to some extent, including Bonecrusher. Your guy should be down in the med bay getting medical attention. Bonecrusher could still walk around but he did have some damage that needs to be fixed.

BTW, welcome to the RPG!

Ok thanks, I edited it quite a bit to make it work: decepticon-battlecruiser-thanatos-tides-of-revolution-p1723872.php#p1723872

Btw is there a way to permanently turn off my signature on a certain forum?

I don't think there's a way to permanently turn off your sig in just one forum. I usually just uncheck the "Attach a signature" box at the bottom to keep mine from showing up.

Ok I know that, that's how I've been turning if off. I've just been forgetting, then having to edit it after posting it to turn it off, and sometimes my computer slows down and won't load the page and I get in trouble with an admin argggg. X(

Okay, guys. I know I haven't been around a lot, if at all, lately, but things have gotten a bit more real. My dad had a stroke and I went up to New Jersey to be with my mom and to see him while he's in rehab.

Unfortunately, things have not been good. Last night we had to go to the center at 1 am because he was agitated, paranoid and a bit violent with very little sleep. Finally convinced him to take his meds and he fell asleep. I'm only able to stay up here until Tuesday so when I get home my parents will be on my mind for quite sometime.

I'll still be around but even more sporadic than previous. Please, please, please bear with me.

You got it, Ember. Take your time. And take care of yourself too. Best wishes.

No problem, Em. Family comes first. Take all the time that you need, and I hope your dad feels better soon. Take it easy!

Of course! Family always comes first!

Btw is The Fallen dead? Or is he still alive?

Because I was just working on my post: decepticon-battlecruiser-thanatos-tides-of-revolution-p1724349.php#p1724349 And I am trying to figure out how his roll should be.

The threat of the Fallen is gone since his evil spark is captured and should be launched into the sun in the near future by the Autobots.

The Fallen was recently defeated down in Australia when his dark spark was sucked out of Hot Rod's possessed body. Like Sumo has said the Autobots currently have it, and it will be launched into the sun as soon as possible. Therefore, the Fallen has no further role to play in the game, and even if he did that would be up to me (and the other mods) to determine since he was my character.

Ok, it may seem like I'm using your character: The Fallen. Actually though, it is all in Bonecrusher's mind, so he is not real. He is hallucinating.

Note: if my part in the RP gets a bit weird, it is mostly because I used to be a "creepypasta" (online horror stories) writer. Instead of making all of my posts the same, with Bonecrusher just wanting to break stuff, I add more character and mystery to it. Fear not though, there are no ghosts planned right now.
