May as well. There were some other plot points Phoenix wanted to do, but she's moving into her new place. We could just assume Glowstick meets Phoenix and regretfully communicates between her and Megatron to have her join the Predacons, Nemesis's main reason being she assumes they have technology to get back into space, but the ones who would know anything about that sorta stuff would probably never help her.

Now, if you were a mosquito and you were trying to suck my blood with that viciously annoying high pitch buzzing that I absolutely hate, then I might squish you. But, yes, the first season of BW characters should be pretty "powerless" when it comes to their tech, weapons and size. They should rely on their beast modes, team work, and all that other character development stuff and with a fun story before we get into the powerful bots like TransMetals or any gestalts or combiners and the more mature plot lines.
Heh, I'm ironically allergic to mosquitoes.

Lies.. that is.. Merely Maximal propaganda! ¬.¬
I guess start a new one up. Uh and if anyone is wondering, Nightmist's body is going to be sealed away for now for a future plot event, though the Maximals will officially think of it as a medical examination/studied contained biohazard.
(This post is regarding the currently up and running OC Episode #4)
Ooooh, I really want Orcariner to join Rhinox since he could sure use a science mentor now that he's growing to accept his role in a team of explorers. However, due to the lack of aquatic Maximals, I think he should go to Japan. The bot's gotta learn how to properly swim sometime...
Hey, for the pod missions, are we keeping them relatively close to the show's events? I'll be honest when I say that I sort of forgot what happened in "The Spark" other than Rhinox lecturing Cheetor and Airazor scrapping Terrorsaur. I'm thinking about rewatching the episode, but if we're going to make big deviations like with Blackarachnia's pod, then I may not have to.
The Spark will probably be really close to the show with some minor deviations, mostly because there really wasn't a difficult plot in it. The main story was that Airazor's pod was damaged beyond repair and Rhinox used his techno-head powers to save her. That was pretty much it really. The rest of the show was either informational (it was the first episode introducing the concept of sparks, so they spent a lot of time talking about them) or BA trying to kill cheetor.
Spider's Game will likely be wildly different here. I can't see us pulling that one off, haha. Hopefully Tarantulus does his scheming stuff, but besides that, neither Airazor or BA will be around for their parts in the episode and I dunno if Tigatron will be either.
Has everyone been really busy lately or something? I know a couple have been, but right after we started the next OC episode, it grew eerily quite real fast. Hardly anyone has posted over the whole weekend and last week. What's the poop?
I worked all weekend long and I took one of my best friends out for her birthday last night. Today, for some odd reason I kept getting red flags that there was a Trojan virus on this website. I avoided until now because avast! isn't bugging me about it anymore...
Thanks for responding, guys. I just thought it was odd that it suddenly went so slow, especially after starting a new episode. Usually they go pretty quick in the beginning; so much so that even I have a difficult time keeping up.

EVIL! I haven't had any from this site before, but my avast! does catch them every so often from deviantART. Nasty viruses. Why do people have to make them and ruin everyone else's computers or lives?
Because they're monsters.. ug.. I'm just glad my hell with viruses is over. One trashed my father's computer so badly I had to put a new harddrive and OS on it. Then it tried to trash mine but I have some abnormal backup measures so I was able to get by. -_-
Well, we could probably make some parts of the game go faster and split some things. Like I stated, I assume the ocean mission is going to get heavy traffic. The stasis pod missions we'll see.
I'm a little confused about the whereabouts and status of the different characters, tbh. This new episode has had a bit of a rough start compared to the last one, and aside from knowing my character is flying overhead and is on Megatron's team, I don't know who else are on said team, which pod they are going for, where they are, and which Maximals I should be aware of that are already in the area my character is supposed to be investigating.
Aside from confusion, yes, it is hard to keep up right now due to limited and random online times (we close on our house next week, so temporarily staying with Nick's parents which is hell on earth), preparing for house and baby, and of course work stuff like NK pointed out. My situation should settle down once we are moved in.
I believe the teams are all organized on NK's opening post for the topic (the very first post of the episode). He has updated it as necessary. It has which characters make up which teams, who's the leader for each team, and which location they've been assigned to. I honestly haven't found it too confusing yet but that's because I've used his post as a reference. It helps a great deal.
I'm actually not very fond of splitting the episode into three different topics for both pods and the ship. If we have communication between characters from different locations, it's just going to get lost and cause even more confusion. What I've done in the past in another BW RPG was label the locations of the characters in my post for every post so each player knew where the characters were during the whole episode. But if it would make it easier for everyone (if you refuse to use NK's post as a reference), maybe we could split this episode into two parts; one being for the ship and the other for the two stasis pods.
But, yes, the first season of BW characters should be pretty "powerless" when it comes to their tech, weapons and size. They should rely on their beast modes, team work, and all that other character development stuff and with a fun story before we get into the powerful bots like TransMetals or any gestalts or combiners and the more mature plot lines.
