This is a thread where, as the title implies, our avatars (from our galleries) are posting in an in-universe forum thread. You can drop in any time with pretty much any character you want, whether from existing works or your own OCs. Though most of it is done through forum posts, some "in-person" interactions between characters is also fine.
Even if this is a more casual RP, there are still some rules and general RP etiquette to keep in mind for everyone to have a good time and feel comfortable:
- NO GODMODDING. Godmodding is when you decide what happens to another player's character, and is generally frowned upon. In particular, avoid injuring and especially killing someone else's character; fighting is ok but let the other player decide if the hit connects. If your plot idea requires something to happen to a different player's character, you'll want to privately discuss this with them and if they're ok with that. This includes in-universe moderation.
- Be nice and respect other players' boundaries. Your character being mean or a jerk is one thing, but if someone gets uncomfortable about your behavior towards their characters, knock it off. Also do not force others into your story arcs; in general it would be a good idea to ask the other person first if they are interested, and plan it together if they are.
- If you have anything to say, ask about, ect. that is not part of the RP, you can put it under a spoiler tag [[spoiler: like this]]
- While almost any character is welcome, please avoid playing any real-life person who's mainly associated with controversies, drama and problematic behavior. We don't need that here.
- Have fun!
Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Oy! It's the cute seal again!
Long time, no see!
Oops, excusez-moi!
Lol. Still a little tired from Friday night babe?
Hehehe, nah. We're just close Tama friends! I just call her babe as a little Shout-Out to another platonic pair.
It's a Beetlejuice reference since he calls Lydia "Babes"! It makes me giggle a little.
x9: If someone made the process easier than I'd keep doing it the damn hard way. Maybe I like what I do, I just don't like getting no Primus-damned recognition for it and people trying to legislate my job out of existence. Plus, there are a lot of things you can only trust to be hand-finished, if you ask me. Especially cleaning up after your friendly local execution squadron.
You're on thin ice, mister.
I redesigned Trope-tan! ➯ my pronouns are ze/hirSorry if I can't give you any recognition myself, I rarely ever have to rely on cleaning robots.
Also, is that a threat? Because if it is, I guess I should give you a demonstration of my military powers before you try to attack me.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.~i rArElY EvEr hAvE To rElY On cLeAnInG RoBoTs~. Typical.
It's not a threat, you dolt. Just someone challenging Oh You Of Infallible Wisdom, which apparently isn't something you run into often. If I wanted to threaten you, you'd know.
I redesigned Trope-tan! ➯ my pronouns are ze/hirAre you deliberately trying to annoy me? I make every single piece of infrastructure that I need myself, and I know that I don't use any cleaning robots! Sorry if I can't give you appreciation for your job, but you're definitely not going to get it by pointing fingers at people.
If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.You're missing the point. You people are so obsessed with ~optimizing~ everything. Juuuust like the DJD moments before one of them forgets to check their vitals and blows a gasket... Maybe I like the extra elbow grease, huh?
Forget it. What else did I expect from a bunch of organics...
OOC: sorry nickel is very mean.
I redesigned Trope-tan! ➯ my pronouns are ze/hirI guess I am missing some point, but I still don't know what point... What's wrong with optimizing things? For me, that's a method of entertainment, trying to make a machine component run as smoothly as possible. It's a puzzle!
Wait, I just got a cool idea. Brb, let me know if you want to playtest it.
P.S. Who are the DJD?
If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.The DJD? Decepticon Justice Division? Didn't Shortstuff and that purple geek talk about them a few pages back? Cybertron's most effective judge, jury, and executioners?
I redesigned Trope-tan! ➯ my pronouns are ze/hirI'm from a different universe than yours, so I don't get the same info that you do. Why are judge, jury and execution united in a single institution, wouldn't such a system be susceptible to exploitation by authoritarian leaders?
Edit: Strike that, I forgot that the leader of Cybertron (forgot his name) doesn't get elected.
Also, made a new puzzle box. If someone wants to test it, tell me.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.Figurative language, genius. They hunt down Decepticon stragglers and defectors, and, y'know, sometimes just degenerates, and make one hell of an example of 'em. Beauty to watch.

I'm doing good!
Same, it's starting to finally feel like actual spring time!

A bit worrisome if I’m being honest. Mother not noticing anything from that game plus the fact that Tim and Shadow’s friendship has gone completely unnoticed is a miracle worthy of the Makers.
Not trying to be mean, those incidents have nothing to do with you.

SKREEEEEEEONK!
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.
I logged onto here again under the hopes that I would face less mockery and bullying. Not only was my hindsight ABSOLUTELY INACCURATE, I have faced MORE belittlement than I EVER had. I kept being called an "Epic Divorce Man", ESPECIALLY from that DAMNED MACHINE!!!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm done. I'm logging off.

It's May and we got the high ground up in here!
I have a good feeling about this month (especially since someone's birthday is coming)!

Oh, and by the way, how's progress on the encyclopedia?
