We also thought of having a two character rule instead.

Two O.C's
or
Two cannons.
or
One O.C. and one cannon.

And both characters ought to be on opposing sides.

Would that work?
I understand... you are, after all, a predacon.

I agree with Xzuk, Blazemane. That sounds perfect to me. Thank you!

Yeah... If these are applied I might wanna revoke my role on Tigatron. He's not the most active maximal. I'd rather have the shadowfox play.

If that ok with you OOP?

WHAT?! How dare you turn your back on Tigatron, Xzuk! :lol: Just kidding! Sure you can do that. It'll be a while before Stripes comes in anyway, so I'm sure we'll able to find someone else to take him. No worries! ^_^

I would like to request for an aditional rule.

I don't know how much it bothers others, but i spend quite some time thinking and writing my posts.
I doubt i have ever posted once for a character, where i used less then 3 or 4 lines.

One and 2 line posts i read i don't feel like its even worth reading.

For example:

Venatrix turns around and kicks Dinobot in the chest.

This is an extreemly short post which only tells the reader the basic move you wanted to make, but it has nothing of value to offer in regard of telling the reader a little more about the action, and the character make the move.
It is no shame to use more detail in your post.

It shows you have putt a conciderable effort in devaloping your character in the game.

For example:

After Dinobot's attack, Venatrix had only 2 options. Fall back into defensive position, which would probably torn to shreds by Dinobot, or counter attack.
That she would lose was a garantee, but how she'd lose would make a lot of differance in her development.
He Predacon warrior instincts told her to go for the attack. She wouldn't learn a think by just defending.
She must improvise and attack Dinobot head on.
She leaped forward, as Dinobot was still moving to a position to continue his assault, and threw a powerful kick towards his chest.


In this post you see more personality of the character i try to play.
It took me a whole lot longer to think it through, and to type, but it is much more fun to read as you see much more of the character's personality.

I surgest posts to become more detailed, with a minimum of 4 lines.

Thanks OOP. I love the tiger n' all, but I'd rather have a full time then a five episode maximal, considering that's my preferred faction.

But if there are any open Preds I can throw my name in for them no problem.

I agree with you, Ven. I prefer longer posts. I want to see character development, specifically from the OC's because we don't know them at all. But I also want to see it from those playing the canons because I like their own takes on those characters as well. I don't see much thought or effort put into the shorter posts, which only make it seem that the player(s) making the shorter ones are in too much of a hurry to post as soon as they can. And that's all part of that patience rule that's listed. Some players' posts would be longer if they waited for more people to post because then their character(s) could interact with the other characters.
Thanks OOP. I love the tiger n' all, but I'd rather have a full time then a five episode maximal, considering that's my preferred faction.
You're welcome, Xzuk. I'll see what I can find out about the Predacons.

EDIT:
Made changes to the rules accordingly.

I thought about just one as well, but people playing one or two cannons also get to play an OC if they want, so then they're already playing two or three characters while others who don't or can't play a cannon are stuck with only one character in the game. Of course, it would keep the amount of characters down drastically with only one OC per player... I don't know! Laughing I'll think about it. Maybe I'm just trying to be too fair. Laughing
When Black Arachnia comes into the game, i'll have 3 characters to play.
I can handle it, with 4 being an absolute maximum in case i need to fall in for someone.
I've always played 2 or 3 characters in a RP.

I think it depends on the person them selves whether or not they can handle 1 or 3 characters.
I think the moderators should have some kind of "power" to decide if someone cant seem to handle the number of characters.

I don't want to give any of my characters up, but if 2 is the absolute maximum, i'll have to decide which character i'll drop.

You aren't the only one who's playing more than two characters actually, and I don't think the plan is to revoke cannon characters away from people who auditioned long before the "two character" rule was established.

One such example is Tor (Dinobot, Waspinator, and eventually Inferno). Another, I think, is Razorclaw (Tarantulas, Megatron, and Blaze)

I don't think you'll have to drop anyone. But then, I'm not in charge of this. Just my opinion.
I understand... you are, after all, a predacon.
