Pfff. You've offended me, Alak! I'm terribly offended.The players who control the important characters are also the ones who aren't active in the RPG. OOP plays Optimus Primal and while she fulfilled her role for this episode, she admitted that the RPG is not currently a high priority for her. Most BW episodes require Primal to be active since he's a pivotal character.
Just kidding! Well, I'm not giving him up that easily, noooo. I think part of my problem for falling behind was losing interest in the last episode because it was taking people so long to post. And then several players vanished again and there was just too much for me to make time to play those characters along with the ones I was already filling in for. So if we start the next episode over fresh and can rely on players who have stuck around since the beginning (I know that sounds harsh but perhaps I've been too tolerant with people constantly coming and going) to help play some canons and OC's, I think it could go a lot smoother with not so many breaks. Temporary absenses are okay, of course. And I truly, TRULY appreciate the people who communicate their absense before they disappear and never say a word until it's a few months later. 
Anyway, I will make time to post because I know OP is a key character. Like I mentioned above, the whole week and two weekends I have off from work will give me plenty of time to jump right back in and keep up in the new episode. 
Thank you, N-H.I'm still game, if I have to take on some ones canon character I will. That way the game can go some what faster.
OC mission could be an option since there are alot of OC characters around.
I'll bite. Sounds like a great way to try something different just as long as we can have an ending to them and each one doesn't go on and on and on. Or we just have one continuous topic and after so many threads in each one, we close it, start a new topic and continue from there. But I kind of prefer closure and a point to each one so that we're not just doing the same thing over and over (like both factions bumping into each other every so often and duking it out over nothing every time).Have to say I agree in doing OC episodes, mean we all know what happens in the original series with minor tings changed due to the OCs. That's probably for the reason some have lost interest. But I'm up for trying the OC episodes an see what happens for it too.
I don't know that it's worth finishing either of those episodes at this point. I think we should just close them and work on an idea for the next one. Everyone can pretty much assume what happens.We could do that or we could quickly finish the Blackarachnia episode, seeing how the preds already have the pod and fight is pretty much pointless. We could put the pod at the PRed base and have three Predacons stay there to protect it while the others do thier own thing or go and help Megatron.
My question is, we had someone who was really eager to play Inferno, so should we include his and Airazor's entrances in our next OC episode? Or just one at a time? Maybe I can find out if the person still wants to play Inferno; I'd hate make him wait through another episode to join. We should also make a list of all of the ownerless OC's and canons so everyone can pick and choose who they'd like to play. Perhaps some OC's will be dropped.
I think I could have a lot of fun with that, yesss.Hm.. an Evil Optimus eh? Sounds amusing. I wonder how Candi would like that.
Bwahahaahahahahahahahahaha!Blazemane, I like all of those ideas; thank you for sharing them. The one with the Vok might be more interesting just because they really know nothing about that alien race yet. Your first idea would be great for building teamwork and working more with their beast modes (kind of like Dark Voyage).
...That would be fun. With myself.
