The Intergalactic Highway

b_k: It's actually quite easy, especially since it's a message board RPG. You just post back forth, replying to the players' characters which interact with yours.

Cheetor: Awesome! Would you happen to be interested in playing Cheetor? It would be prime.

Tigerhawk: No problemo. I've been RPing since '97 and would be happy to help!

I'm going to contact StarGazer and let her know all of you are interested, but you should e-mail her as well. She'll be able to tell you what characters are available and all that jazz.

Thank you again!

I'll definatly play Cheetor, he's ultra gear and my favorite character. I currently play him in the RP i'm in on Mirc.

I've noticed that a lot of RP's lately have been leaving Mirc for message boards its like everyone is going back to the early days of the internet before decent chat programs like Mirc. As for years RPing, I've been RPing since 1995-96.

No I haven't e-mailed yet. What characters' are left to RP?

What's the addy for the message board?

As for years RPing, I've been RPing since 1995-96.

Cheetor: Ooooh, so you're an internet junky. Well, at least you have experience! I didn't get the 'net until '97 but as soon as I was logged on, I was hunting for BW fans. LoL And than I started to RP. I started with Rattrap first and then around the beginning of '98 I started to play Optimus. Haven't stopped since. It's... ultra gear, if I may. As for the addy for the board, I'll start nagging SG and maybe she'll hand it out. Until then, I have no possession of the link.

Ds: I pity the foo'! I command you to e-mail her. I don't have a list of characters available, she does. However, as far as I know, Primal's taken, Cheetor will probably have Cheetor, Superpup has Waspinator and Landray Depth Charge will probably have Depth Charge. Preds always seem to be the hardest to fill up.

I started lookin soon as I got online myself, the first time I was on the internet was in 1993-94 though, it was on a 486 my public school had with Windows 3.1. I learned computers in grade school with Tandy's and Commador 64's which were good times. But in 1995-96 I got dial up and our household got our first computer which cost a whopping $5000, Cyrix 166 Mhz chip, with 32 megs of RAM and a 64 bit video card. It was a good computer for its time.

But ya I started RPing Cheetor back in 1995-96 in a channel called #beastieschat on Dalnet through Mirc. There were many good times had there and most of that RP could have probably been turned into a tv show and I wished it never stopped, but eventually it eventually came to an end unfortunatly and out of the dust roase #bmchat on kechara.sorcery.net which has only a few players but still hoping that some others will join.

Hahaha...I feel like I just wrote a resume Anyways I have a fair amount of RP experience and I play Dungeons & Dragons which can really open ones imagination and RP mind.

That's a bummer though that she hasn't given you the web addy though. I'm not much of an internet junky, considering i'm trying to get a diploma in Computers. Got one under my belt already. If you wanna get to know me better just let me know. Yahoo msger, MSN msger...we can talk it up.

oohh.....I luv D and D!!! Jason recently got me into that XD...unfortunatly I have no one to D and D with -_-....But since you put RPing that Way I did kinda do that when I was younger.
Me and two other ppl on a digimon message board, The Digi-Place (I think it still exists) we did something called chair wars. It was really weird we had to destroy these demon like chairs that tried to trip us.....but it was fun. My weapon of choice was a Chainsaw. If you find the message board (it is an ezboard), look for me under the name Fattyaddy (or fattyaddy_99) a lot of the topics are in the archives section. ^__^

In '93-'94?! Wow. That's cool. I learned computers in grade school as well, though I have no idea what they were. And they really weren't sophisticated. I only remember playing math games on them and such. Middle school was when I got a lot more hands-on experience and tried talking my parents into getting a computer. When they did (which wasn't until '97), that's when we also got the 'net, and by then I was already half through middle school. But ever since we got it, I haven't been able to stay off. LoL Oops.

There were many good times had there and most of that RP could have probably been turned into a tv show and I wished it never stopped, but eventually it eventually came to an end

Seems to be the inevitable with the neat RPG's we get involved with. Yes, it is unfortunate when they end.

I don't know if I've ever been on those chats before. Sounds interesting, though. I started RPing through an e-mail RPG with Rattrap. Covered for Rhinox once because he used to be one of my favorite characters, heh. Then I got into the AOL chats where there were a few BW RPG's going on. Ended up on a chat that was called BigBot where I started playing Primal because there were so many coming and going I thought it was time to have a permanent Optimus around. That was also the time that he quickly increased his rank in my favorites list. From then on I've enjoyed playing him and don't seem to want to stop. ...Is that bad?

Hahaha...I feel like I just wrote a resume Anyways I have a fair amount of RP experience and I play Dungeons & Dragons which can really open ones imagination and RP mind.

LoL Indeed. Wouldn't that be awesome to be paid to RP on-line? I've heard of Dungeons and Dragons but never had the time to get involved. I spend most of it at another board (the CA), deviantArt, and Red vs Blue.

I'm not much of an internet junky, considering i'm trying to get a diploma in Computers. Got one under my belt already. If you wanna get to know me better just let me know. Yahoo msger, MSN msger...we can talk it up

Great! As soon as I find enough time to get on an IM... LoL Yeesh.

Anywho, to get back on topic, heh, I e-mailed SG last night and bugged her about handing out the addy. Haven't had a response yet. I'll let you know what she says as soon as I hear from her.

Okay I'll e-mail her tomorrow I'll try for one of the Preds, prolly Tarantulas, Rampage, or 'Strike! Thanks OOP!

I've always been used to RPing on Mirc I just find it better than having to check up on posts all the time on message boards and I find that the RP progresses much faster, but i've done it on the message boards before which usual isn't too bad. Also I added you to my msn optimus

I've been debating on whether to say I'm interested or not for 2 reasons: 1.) I'm often REALLY pressed for time between work, the site and my writing and 2.) If I did play I'd wanna play as Rampage or Rattrap (but I'm sure Dark will want Rampage and RT is taken) But, well, I caved as this is beginning to look pretty promising. I am interested, but not decided just yet...
How often would I be required to post? I haven't had much experience in RPGs, I admit.

Is Dinobot taken? And, like Sapphire said, how often do you think we'd be require to post? My internet often dies on me and I can't tell how much free time I'll have. BUT it sounds like a blast and...I think I'll be able to make it...

No go ahead Sapph. I want Tarantulas the most. I do still like Rampage but I ccan't think of alot of saying that sound as dark, and evil as him. I think you'd be much better. I think Tarantulas, or Quickstrike would be better for me!

Thanks for adding me, Cheetor! I just caught up with that MSN stuff. ^.^ I prefer RPing at boards because it gives me more time to reply. The hours I can spend on here during the week are very limited so it's much easier for me to roleplay that way than it is on a chat that's constantly moving and whatnot. I agree, though, that a lot more gets done with a chat than a board.

Okay, guys. Here's list of characters that are taken. And this is only from everyone that I've gathered here. I don't know if StarGazer has any others that she's been in contact with. She still hasn't replied to me about the board link but she's probably busy with a lot right now, so please be patient.

Characters taken or claimed (waiting for approval from SG):
Optimus Primal
Cheetor
Depth Charge
TigerHawk
Waspinator

Darkshadow: You're welcome. I e-mailed her today saying you were interested most in playing Tarantulas. That's good because we need more Predacons.

Sapphire: As far as I know, Rattrap is not taken. So, if you'd like to play him, grab him while you can. I think he's one of the characters which we need to start the game with. However, because we do need more Predacons, I told SG in the same e-mail with Ds's, that you were interested in both but may be leaning toward Rampage more since Ds said you could have him. I also mentioned that you were cramped for time.

Rakshash: I don't believe Dinobot has been taken. It would be awesome if you played him. However, I don't remember if SG was specific with which Dinobot she wanted. But does it really matter?

For those of you asking about how many times would be required to post; I don't believe SG has a limit. Normally, during a typical message board RPG, if your character is interacting with another character, you don't post again unless the other has replied to your post or unless another character interrupts and starts interacting with yours. During battles, it's especially careful to take turns responding to those who attack your character. You have to give them a chance to respond for their character's defense before you decide to stab them or pull their arm off. You also cannot control another player's character at any time during the game unless they have given you permission. So, really, posting can be fast or it can be slow. Those who think they won't have as much time will obviously be slower to posting then those who can be on almost every day. But since it's common courtesy to wait and let the other character react if it's interacting with yours, some things can take longer than other things going on at the same time. Does that make sense? It's almost as if you can post at your own leisure, so long as you're not ignoring another character or replying too many times. I know StarGazer will have rules posted, so whenever she gives us the link everyone can check those out.

Message board RPG's also give you the chance to elaborate on writing. Like me, I tend to type out a lot of stuff that could be going on with Primal. What he's thinking, how he's feeling, explanations I could have him say but instead keep it so that other players have an idea what I'm trying to do---they just need to keep in mind that he didn't actually say it, it's just info I'm telling to let them know what to expect. In other words, the palyer knows what's going on but the character they're playing shouldn't until it happens. That's something else I like more about board games than games in chats; you can say so much more with all the time you need to say it and you're not really holding anyone up.

I hope that's understandable, heh. If not, give a shout.

Also, for those of you haven't yet, PLEASE, e-mail StarGazer. She has all of the info you're often asking for. Again, her e-mail is wildcatrules@hotmail.com Even if you aren't sure of joining yet, ask her your questions and she'll probably be able to give you answers that I cannot. Okay? Thank you, everyone!!! Keep posting here if you need something else.

Yes it is I.

I felt sorta bad making O.O.P into my little mole running back and forth with informations. Sorry 'bout that! That and I felt I needed to prove that I was real, I kinda felt like santa...just sorta watching, and giving you what you ask for!

So I got off my butt, and desided to post to answers all the wonderful questions you have!

When will it open? It will officaly open this sunday, when I will be posting the addy on the board. Why sunday? Because I still have a few things to work out. (Bases, aliens, poor grammer...ect.)

What characters are left:
-Silverbolt
-Rattrap*
-Cheetor*
-Rhinox

*For the people's that have spoken interest in these characters i'm putting them on hold for you, email me if your still interested and i'll send you the bio page and storyline.

Now for the predacons!
-Leader (This will be a character of your own making! His/her name will be written into the already made storyline.)
-Trantulas
-Quickstrike
I also need people to play at least 3 predacon characters that they have made, come on people! I know some of you are just itching for it!

To answer Dinobot's question, I don't know. Sorry! It depends on how other people post, and how fast they are. But don't worry post when you can, you'll be fine.

When the board opens there will be enough time for everyone to post there characters, your allowed to have two fan made characters each. Also there are openings for 'survivors' the last remaining last souls of battles that have come and gone, so if your interested also email me.

Later tonight I do plan on posting a 'teaser' giving some hints about the storyline and what's happening. And I think that's it? I would like to thank OP though for being my mole, *adds another gold star to her forhead*

Till then.

SG.
