Credit for Harley's joke goes here. Thank you internet!

Sorry I haven't posted yet, guys. I get serious guilt problems when I can't keep my promises.

To be honest, I feel rather overwhelmed. My characters are scattered across Battleworld involved with more than half the groups in this RP. I take one look at what I need to write and cringe.

I'm not quitting. I'm just divvying up my posts to make them more manageable for me. That might mean I don't get around to responding to you this hour, or even this day. Hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience. I'll make my next post tomorrow before/after work.

[up]Ya, sorry about that. we'll be transitioning into evening soonish, which will give you a handwave to have your characters return to Hell's Gate, then you can make it more manageable.

That is good advise, however, none of you should try to go doing too much at one time. Don't kill yourself to try to do every idea you have this second, you'll have plenty of time to interact with everyone you want to.

Yeah, I found the same with Iacon with everyone to manage. It's thankfully thinning out. Sooner I get Optimus out of Iacon, the better.

Only question is, where should I send him?

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I really want them to get some good modern earth alt-modes so they can actually take on passengers, though, so that will play into the decision.

What better way to make first contact with a species living a preindustrial lifestyle than by landing a spaceship on their metaphorical front lawn and blatantly disregarding the Prime Directive?

@Norm Maybe Optimus could go meet the new guys. "Hey, these guys seem to like cars a lot. How bad could they be?"

@Theo Don't worry about it, we've all been there. The scale and scope of the detail in this RP is unprecedented (ignoring the predecessor, of course) so there's bound to be growing pains as we adapt to the new format. But I honestly believe it's for the best, because this environment breeds the best RP character interaction that I've ever seen—and all of the best dramatic and action scenes spring from solid character work, so there's no telling where this thing could go.

@Meanken Nice job with the joke btw.[tup]

@Un glad to hear you're enjoying the RP, I've been very much enjoying managing it. I'll quietly remind you guys however that this was Strat's idea originally, not me, just so that praise for the concept is directed at the correct person. I just made a few minor adjustments to streamline some of the bits and expand on the idea.

I'm guessing Kaon will be a later, WHAM stop.

Megatron deserves no less than a crushing, earth-shattering entrance with appropriate build-up. At least that's how I'd like to handle it.

Please do not land your ship on Castlevania's front lawn. Dracula is kind of getting sick of all the robots... You may, however, fly the ship over Castlevania.

Also, I will post for the Alucard and Grant in the Bamboo Forest once the Day/Night situation is settled.

SPEAKING OF THAT

I have decided that we shall go with the Advanced Day/Night cycle. I shall trust in our players with people less effected by sleep not to go taking advantage of said fact beyond the usual reasonable limits. Within the next few days or so I will transition Battleworld to evening. You will all be given a chance to wrap up scenes, and depending on how long that takes we may go into night while that happens. Then, once most players have finished with their things, we will move to day 2. Anyone still in the middle of scenes by then can do a collab post to finish to just do it via flashback.

Fair?

Alright, with Kage's departure, Lem will be our next joiner with the 501st. Lem, there are two locations you can have your island placed.

1-South, near Santa Destroy and Edge

2-West, next to Iacon.

Where do you wanna be?

Yay, it's good to be back in this topic! Looking forward to joining you guys! grin

Hmmm...but where to start? Santa Destroy would be a fun place to interact with, I think, and the meeting of technologies with Edge would be very interesting. But on the other hand, the 501st relationship with mechanoid lifeforms makes me want to put it near a Transformer Chunk, and I wanna see what happens when the two quite different Magical Girl Chunks meet...so...

I choose the east coast, next to Iacon and directly south of Mitakihara. smile

Oh, by the by, Dante already returned to Santa Destroy, because we're saving that fight for later.

Er, have Hei show up whenever, I'm running out of things to have Lady and comp talk about right this second. You can handwave past the food scene and travel if you want.

Meanken: I'll send you a PM about Vergil's new Contractor opponent later today. There are some issues with his abilities that will undoubtedly need to be nerfed.
