Howdy, I have come back from a long break on HMW, and heard about the reset and stuff.

So, I was wondering, you know the two factions RDD and AWC? Well, since by the sounds of it there will be 5 teams to choose from (Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, Predacons, and Minicons) will there be new factions for the three new teams? It's just that I wanted to join a Minicon faction if they created one like RDD and AWC, after the reset.

Thanks! I hope I'm not spamming the board! (oh and I hope that made sense).

It'll be up to the players to create sub-factions for any new sides. The RDD and AWC were founded by regular players (although perhaps slightly God-like, beautiful, well-endowed players, in the case of the RDD. ), not by the mods or staff - so it'll be on the members of any new factions whether or not to create their own sub-factions.

Nah spamming is not as clear and consice... its a very good question actually. To be fair, Autobots and Maximals will probably be on the same side, much as the Decepticons and Predicons will be. Same team different Icons. The Minicons are just tools that are earned, supposidly, and are not a playable faction in the near future. The Quints are a non playable feature as well, designed for the more intense sets of battles and missions for story telling and just random mayhem. As far as the RDD and the AWC, I figure that the same policy that stands today will stand for the near future. They won't have much of an access in the game or on the boards. Right now we are focusing on getting the game back to the focus of beating the snot out of each other ala Autobot/Maximal v Decepticon/Predicon. What happens off site however, well who's to say.

You have amazing gymnastic skills.

Oh okay, thanks for the clarification Much appreciated!

Meaning as in the RDD-tagged (and untagged, as in my case) teams will still take all the top scores.

Anyhow, back on topic. I don't think it's going to change much. Destrons are still Destrons, both Deceptcons and Preds (though Preds rock more), and Cybertrons will stil be lame Cybertrons.

Autobots and Maximals are not lame

Or recent events and discussion have caused us to see things a bit differently.

Nope, they're targets

unless compared to most beauteous Decepticons and the absolutely gorgeous, kick-butt resident Predacon and our abilities to accept our inner darkness.

Ok I stand corrected! As I think about it some Autobots/Maximals are lame. Theres Wheelie, and Optimus Minor. Possibly others.

If people want to form such factions they can. But if they wish to function on this site they have to respect the site and it's people and not overstep that boundry. It is hard lesson that I know shows sign of finally taking.

Regardless of what group you chose to or not to belong to, know that we are all a part of the HMW community. That is the foundation of which to build on. We are all in this together.

But know that all who are Decepticon or decended from Decepticons have a home in the RDD. Ask RiD, she's a Pred through and through. RED:


Just keep that Liege Maximo guy away, Megatron doesn't like him.

Then perhaps it's time for an "official statement" so people know where things stand?

I've got a little confused... did something happen here on the forums or in the HMW game to do with either RDD and/or AWC that shouldn't have happened?

Edit: I know this is off the topic, but does anyone know who or where I report bugs? I have peoples battle logs showing up on my new transformers... Edit 2 -nevermind, I found the bugs thread geez I'm blind.

Depends on who you ask.

So the RDD and AWC won't exist when V2 comes around?

They will exist either way, but it might mean that we lose any recognition here.

Now there were things done that deserbved this but we are starting to show that the RDD of old, the one that deserved all that, isn't around anymore. Weither than changes anything remains to be seen but whatever the outcome I would hope that we show that we want to be a helpful part of the HMW community.

And yeah Burn, something happened. Something good.

I'd tell you but...



that is a secret

I feel like turning that into a fart joke ....

And honestly, the only thing the RDD "of old" did wrong was a bit of spam. Otherwise it was all harmless.

yup

ZeroZero wrote:So the RDD and AWC won't exist when V2 comes around?

It is looking as if they won't on these forums but probably still on their own forums. That's up to indivdual players to decide that. Like Dynamax said of those groups, or any others really, they have to respect this site and the ppl who run it.

RDD"s remaining as long as I keep scouting. and we are returning to the RDD of the old without the spam, or in my case, spam here, as I still am a bad spammer on other places

I guess I'll be the one to speak up for the AWC, since nobody else is

The AWC was having some internal problems that were escalated when a member defected to the Decepticons. This, in turn, resulted in a lot unnecessary drama that causes a few members to leave. After a little "Come to Jesus" meeting, we have decided that with the coming of V2, the time has come to start over with the AWC. We're gonna completely wipe the slate clean, even come up with a new name. At the moment it's still an idea hovering over our heads because we're waiting to see how V2 is going to work before we start any kind of reformatting.

So, to sum up: No, we're not dead, but we are planning for a new AWC.

Oh; I think I see now. A fresh start is good for everyone

So now i'm curious.

If there's so much "internal dramas" ... why bother any more?

As someone said the other day, the more things change the more they stay the same ...

Maybe u dont remember but it was much before than when Traks left that those problems were already there.

There is no point to say those problems here and bother ppl, but everyone who was there knows what happened and how the situation were.

Did i sound like an AWCer?, da!, bah, im not.

I dunno. I just go with the flow

If you really want to find that out, ask one of the senior members like crazyfists or EP.
