Next time on Beast wars!

[Phoenix]

Aww, I didn't want to take the fun away from one of my favorite characters in the bw saga.. I always wanted Terrorsaur to stick around in season 2 and 3. I was just a little snuffed by the fact that I had posted where I wanted to go, then went into work for the next day with only a few hours of sleep in between two long shifts, and finally got out to find the lists were not only up but already filled without having been included. Work weekends suck beyond words and I am so glad I can now bid them farewell at 37 weeks pregnant. Working in healthcare is just grand, with alternating schedules since nobody likes working certain holidays and weekends (esp. evening shifts)

I do have some ideas that might make things interesting for CC as well, provided the info NK gave me was a bit exaggerated. I never took part in the previous CC plot so I never read it either. This all sort of reminds me of the ascension in a mmorpg I used to play some, where you had to face your doppelganger, which was an exaggerated version of your own character with your abilities but a lot more power to its health and stats.

I don't know if it's because everyone's just itching for the current episode to end or if it's due to the angry outburst from OOP about changing the rules to only have two posts per day, but regardless things have been completely dead on the entire forum today.. i suggest we just wrap up the current episode and proceed to the next one, to breathe some life back into things. Allowing time to catch up is one thing, but it gets a little dull when everyone's just waiting and nobody's posting.

So let's just get this show on the road!

I thought that myself, Phoenix. Everyone suddenly vanished. I'm not sure about starting the next episode right now. Some people are away. I believe WorpeX will be gone until the 6th? I know that doesn't sound like a long time, but as we all very well know there could be two or three pages of posts by then, and that's a lot of catching up for someone. And no one likes to come back to find people have already started playing a new episode without their characters having the opporunity to join at the same time.

I'll keep the 4th OC episode open for a while (as usual) so people can continue posting there. NK, do you want to write up the plot and list the teams for the beginning of the 5th OC episode? I guess we could do at least that much so everyone knows what'll be going on with it.

[Night-Hunter]

There's not a whole going on right now... well apart from the binge drinking of four certain preds. *shifty eyes*

And I also don't want to keep ramming this down your throat, but don't forget that Saber will come clean in the next episode but not in the way you think it will happen.

[Phoenix]

Yeah, the current episode essentially holds nothing for anyone else than the 4 preds on the drinking binge..

I hope we won't hold off on the new episode too long, as I at least wanted to get a foot in the door on it before my baby's due date on the 12th of June. I'll still be around, but obviously I'll be scarce for a couple of days soon. Right now I'm on maternity leave, so I get restless with the unusual time on my hands right now.

[Blazemane]

Well, I still want to see Venatrix' response to Steelclaw. I understand the want for the next episode to start, but I also think leaving Worpex behind would be a problem.

[una]

I agree, Blaze.

We don't want to leave anyone behind.

[NaitoKage]

Yeah, I can write up a summery for the new episode. I can't imagine the lack of activity is from people just rage quitting over the post thing, I mean I was one of the ones disciplined and I'm not mad. It's probably just because it's the end of the episode, we've always had a hard time closing them, the Maximals tending to be a bit more active in reflecting on the battle while the Preds are a bit more into either sleeping,repairing, or screwing around with nothing to do.

Maximals=Organized military force
Predacons=Semi organized group of rogues

And that's how they should be.

[Phoenix]

Although very well.. a bit of a disappointment not being able to progress when you've been twiddling your thumbs in the rpg without anything to do for the past week, but oh well. I was never saying to leave anyone in the dust, since either way someone will be disappointed here; whether it be those who are already on a short leave, or those who are going out as soon as the first batch comes back.

Good luck with the next episode, everyone!

[NaitoKage]

Fusors are not required for just season 2, and under the bizarre circumstances there is no problems with her being a fusor. Besides, that basically means your maximal wont be functioning until august or later.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

I'm sorry, guys. I don't like to step on anyone's toes, but as a Moderator, I just can't please everyone. I'd like to, it's pretty much what I do everyday IRL; just let people walk all over me. But sometimes lines need to be drawn and I have to stand up and say something.

In all fairness, WorpeX is only supposed to be absent for a few days; then be back "full-time" again to post. I have no problem waiting that long. It's not anyone's fault that the Predacon players are twiddling their thumbs while they wait and the Maximals still have some things to carry on with. Phoenix, I can only imagine that you'll be very busy long-term, as soon as you give birth, so I don't know how long you'll be gone or how much time you'll be able to spend on here. Probably not much. I'd say it's just poor timing for the next episode.

NK, thank you for preparing the 5th OC episode. Looks good as always.

[starshadow]

Umm OOP, I have a question. Because of the different timezone of my place, and tomorrow is the 6th June, does this mean I can post for the 5th episode? I live in the future.

[Night-Hunter]

I'm not a mod. But I think it would best if you wait, Star.

[starshadow]

Oh...okie then.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Umm OOP, I have a question. Because of the different timezone of my place, and tomorrow is the 6th June, does this mean I can post for the 5th episode? I live in the future.

You're right, Star, I hadn't thought of that. I'll re-open the new episode later on today. I think that would be fair for everyone as long as no one goes crazy with posting.
