There is or was a plan to have a showdown at Area 51, one that would involve some stealth, some planning and maneuvering, but it looks like the consensus is to have some generic big brawl there which is disappointing.

As for people not replying, I think its probably time to start booting these people out of the game. It is continually the same people who leave people hanging without any reason or word from .

As for applying for Reflector, I suggest you apply for someone less complicated for a first character Name Violation.

I was hoping for the more stealthy approach with a plan and stuff for Area 51 myself. More fun to roleplay that out then a fire fight.

Ditto. Was kind of thinking that Skids might make a good "Mission Control" type of character here.

There can still be some Bot/Con interaction, but less all-out brawl and more skirmish/stealth confrontation.

Yeah, that would be a cool idea. Now if we could only get the majority of the players to start posting again we can finally get things rolling again. I am really enjoying this game and I want to see it continue.

the only cons left are Runamuck and Runabout, who both seem too chaotic for any actual roleplay value, and Octane, who is too whiney and self-centered to work with others unless it suits his wallet.

I guess I'll try for runamuck, but he isn't a stealthy character like I'd prefer. He's well suited for a firefight, but i don't see him being a stealthy sneak.

If you had read all of the information you would find that we repeatedly mention that you can apply for other characters not on the list within reason.

You really don't necessarily need to stick to the roster list. You can apply for another character not on the list, but just remember the character NEEDS to fit into the Infiltration aspect of the game. So don't go and apply for anyone outrageous.

I'm all for a stealthy approach and showdown at Area 51. Just as long as the game moves forward and there's something to do then I'm fine with it. I love the Infiltration style game that we have going. I'm a big fan of the comics, so I want to see this continue forward.

Of course, that requires more posting from everyone. It doesn't have to be every single day, but when there's no posting for a week or two, then it becomes a problem and everything slows down.

Honestly, I'm just tryin to get approved. I'll play just about any con I can identify with on some level. I've looked for others on the tf wiki, but don't see any that really appeal. I'll keep searching and applying until I find something that fits. Besides if I can get approved for Runamuck, I'll apply for Runabout and play the Battlechargers and be the ultimate distraction for the stealthier guys.

We could write posts that are less dependent on others to move the story, but I think that takes out most of the fun. Currently, Soundwave is waiting on Stryfe's reply and Brawn for Optimus'. GOt lots of good stuff planned once things get going.

In response to Name Violation. The U2 or Aurora spyplane might make a decent alt mode for Reflector. It would make him very useful as a spy but would have little value on the battle field, much like his camera alt mode with more mobility.

Move on without Stryfe. His player is on the verge of losing his characters due to lack of posting. I don't want to be held up by a no-show.

The canon roster list has been updated.

*reads canon list*

Oops. Er, what do I do until we have an Ironhide again? IIRC, Roadbuster, at least, was in the same boat of talking to Ironhide too.

If you are in conversations with abandoned character you'll just have to do your best to drop the conversation and pick up with something else. I know it isn't easy but its better than waiting forever for a reply.

Sun Apr 12, 2009 9:12 pm

I'm still around as Ratchet (I posted only two weeks ago) if that's alright. I'm not sure if the roster has ever listed me as playing him.

My apologies, I had only been updating with people who hadn't posted and hadn't been looking for people to add. You weren't on the list previously but you are on it now.

Kay-o.

In that case, until Optimus Prime lays out the whole upcoming plan, if Bumblebee or Smokescreen wanted to bug Skids about those other network-detecting locations, I'd be willing to see if the mods have any info I can offer...

Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:18 pm

I'll have Smokescreen contact Skids when I post next, but that won't be until probably Tuesday. I have a busy work day tomorrow.

I'll also try to post for Trailbreaker at that time even if I don't get a response from Prime. I won't just walk away. I'll just have Breaker respond to what Bumblebee just told Prime. As for Skywarp, I'll wait to see if Thundercracker will join him before going down to the training room.

Would anyone be interested in playing Autobots and Decepticons involved in another front in the Great War? A front where secrecy and stealth are not so important, but the stakes are just as high as on Earth?

Earth isn't the only battlefield on which the Transformers fight, after all. On the other side of the galaxy, other Transformers, under the command of various Autobot and Decepticon generals, wage other wars on other worlds, for other goals. With Optimus Prime and Megatron on Earth now, things become even more unstable and more dangerous as other leaders are forced to step to the forefront of these distant conflicts.

Subtlety is not a prerequisite of these other conflicts. Unlike on Earth, where the Autobots and Decepticons must adopt disguises, the Transformers elsewhere retain their potent Cybertronian alternate modes. Open warfare is possible, maybe even frequent. Of course, cloak-and-dagger special operations and spying occur on this second front, as well.

Thoughts?

J Writer! Good to see you back, man! It's been a while. Hope all is well with you.

Anyway, I'd be very interested in playing characters on other fronts. The roster could be opened up to almost any character. I'd have to give up one of my current characters since I'm at my limit, but I'd do so for the right opportunity. Unless it was changed where we were allowed to have more than three on our roster. Either way, I'm up for it!
