Well Pheonix contacted me, She's in the hospital, her water broke at around 5 AM eastern time (Right around the time I was going to bed after running a campaign with some friends), so not sure if she'll be around or not for a few days.

Well, I guess it's that time again since I'm sure Clear convoy will only be able to fight for so long.. and also because I imagine OOP is going to be busy for a few months. So.. I guess the next episode is going to be some variation of other voices, plus have Arachnitron and Pheonix's new character join in. Unless ofcourse you guys want to skip that episode and OP's death and return and just jump into season 2.

While I am eager for Season 2, I think we need to at least bring Season 1 to and end with some closure. If we twist the canon story a bit, we can have Arachnitron crash down in a stasis pod in perfect condition and use that pod to send OP back to space in order to blow up the moon. I'm not sure how we'll be able to do the whole truce thing, though. It was just an episode where Tigatron goes commando and the Maximals beat up the Predacons through unconventional means. Not sure if OOP will be active enough to accommodate the importance of both roles, and I'm not sure if players will like their Predacon OCs getting beat up via slap-stick humor.

I'm all for slap-stick humor. From what I can tell, most of the episodes we've done has been some what serious and tense, so I see no harm in doing an episode where our OC's make total afts of themselves, but that's just me.

Yea might be best to twist the last episode(s) a bit. Though it would be kind of funny for some humor. :lol:

Though just out of curiosity is alright if I work on Terra's bio or put it up?I didn't plan on keeping Snow Trix but want to check with you guys first.

Ah, your transmetal character? Sure, post her up, Make sure to include Transmetal somewhere in the profile and the specs are up to 50.

Slapstick humor is fine, and the maximals don't need Arachnitron's stasis pod, they already have a podbay filled with them, and even if you ignore that, they do have Airazor's pod and Tigatron, or otherwise Tarantulus would of stolen them after you guys went home and flew off already.

Though that will leave what to do with all the Ocs.. since Tarantulus, blackarachnia, and inferno will be sneaking into the Maximal base.. maybe have a espionage mission instead since there's a ton of spy predacons and they will likely never get to do as much sneaking and spying as they intended when they first wrote their characters.

Hey, I think I've been keeping up pretty well for as busy as I've been lately. :wink: This month will be my busiest month of the year, and every other trip I'm taking after July will be a weekend trip, so it's not like I'll be unable to post for a week. :roll: I would rather not skip the last episodes of Season One because I believe they were a significant part to the show. Megatron needs that alien disk, we learn just how powerful the Vok are, half the energon deposits on the planet are detonated, we learn that the second moon isn't a moon at all, all the pods fall from orbit, OP's death is a major blow to the Maximals, and his death also brings the TransMetals. We don't have to play the episode(s) precisely by the show, but I think it would be fun to do them and give our game a nice closure to Season One instead of immediately skipping it and jumping into the second season. And I wouldn't mind a fun episode with the slap-stick comedy.
So.. I guess the next episode is going to be some variation of other voices, plus have Arachnitron and Pheonix's new character join in.

I agree with you guys. Since we still need to bring in those new characters, I think we have enough characters in the game for separate missions in the Other Voices episodes; a team (perhaps mostly comprised of OC's from both factions?) could go after the newbies, while the other team (maybe mostly canons like the show?) deals with the alien anomally. Either way, it will be a very long episode, me thinks.

I know we'll be keeping Airazor and Tigatron. OP's death is a given, and he won't be back right away. But has anyone decided on Terrorsaur's and Scorponok's fates? I can't remember.

Heh, well you were probably the best player they ever had. Which just leaves Quickstrike and Silverbolt.

Yes, Alak. Thank you sooo much for playing the two. You've been awesome!

I know someone interested in playing Quickstrike, so he's taken care of. As for Silverbolt, I don't know anyone right now who wants to play him.

A nice relaxing or comedic episode before the whole disk, moon, and Op's death would be cool. :D I'm all for it!

Like people have said, we don't need to skip those episodes. They are needed but we know they will have to change a bit. We can do that. :D

I vote we just don't use Silverbolt. Ever. :twisted:

I'd be ok with a relaxing episode with a rather loose storyline. Than we can focus more on character development activities.

If no one wants Silverbolt, I guess I can take him. I'll also audition for Rampage so that I can play a Predacon tank, even if I'm not really a fan of being yet another renegade amongst Megatron's lines. I'm beginning to pity the Predacon leader. He might as well fight this war all by himself... which is actually possible for a flying, armored t-rex that fires off fusion energy.

I can ask Warwulf if he wants to make a return here and pick up Silverbolt. Of all transformers of any show, BW Silverbolt was the one that he admired. He based his own (original) OC on the character's personality.

A little bit of humor and light spirit is all good, although I hope it won't turn into a purely silly nonsense type episode. :) Having a little bit of a plot and excitement keeps the wheels turning.

Probably fitting since Warwulf generally acts like Silverbolt anyway.
