@Ghid

I no longer regret my involvement.

no, no, this just will not do…

deep lore. deep, deep lore.

[Chromeharpoon]

Perhaps a little too much lore, admittedly, but I’ll try not to burden y’all with it (no more than necessary, at least). Just wanted to make the universe feel fleshed-out and all.

@Ghid

you just made a girl who can turn into an easy bake oven.

What can I say? Character design is my passion.

Speaking of which.

• 3370 CE: the Epoch of Stagnation begins for the Imperium of Cybertron.

• 100013400-100013401 CE: the Dire Wraith Conflict. Alien invaders besiege Cybertron’s outer colonies. Sentinel Zeta defends the Simfur temple from a Wraith assault.

• 100013410 CE : Sentinel Zeta becomes Sentinel Prime, the 1,316th Matrix-bearer.

• 100013410-10002400 CE: Under Sentinel’s reign, tensions between the social classes in cybertronian society escalate over concerns of inequity. This burgeoning discontent is escalated by the emerging Decepticon movement led by Megatron.

Once you hit 100013400 CE, it has 9 digits in the year. However, once you list 10002400 CE, that year and the ones following only have 8 digits. I’m assuming it’s supposed to be 10013400 CE instead, along with the other years that are also 9 digits long prior to 10002400 CE. Otherwise, between present day and that year, there’s 88,005,483 years missing. And the gap of years between games increases significantly.

One of these days I will finally take the time to properly analyze and critique those writings. I’ve followed your topic for quite some time and reread everything again once the game started to ensure I didn’t forget anything.

Huh. That’s definitely an error. I’ll have to fix that some time.

[ajtazt]

I swear I can write in English. Just not today it seems.

I was doing calculations to determine the length of time between certain events. Mostly to see if it fit with the lifespans given, assuming magic immortality and stasis wasn’t used. Or some other shenanigans. But I probably wouldn’t have noticed if I wasn’t doing that.

[Chromeharpoon]

Well, I was trying to math crap out too, and look where that got me.

At the end of the day, specific dates most likely won’t matter in the RP itself. So it’s probably not gonna be too big a deal if there’s an eon or two unaccounted for. But thanks for pointing this out, anyway. I’ll see about correcting the mistake when I have the time.

@GoodGuy2006

ever

I will just assume my junkion fellow is completely out of touch with the goings-on of the universe so I ca be like “energon? what’s that?”

I do know what energon is btw. It’s weird cubes of transparent energy that go into cybertronian’s chests and makes them high enough to be considered an addictive substance.

[Chromeharpoon]

Heads up: I’m looking to start the RP on May 3rd, some time in the early afternoon (I’m in the Eastern Standard time zone, btw). You guys let me know if that works for you, please.

[ajtazt]

Should work for me, I’ll just be responding later in the day. Work mandated that I be back in the office starting that week, so drive time is going to kill my activity at random points. I won’t be able to respond until late afternoon, anywhere around 5:30–7:00 PM EST.

[MakutaOisli]

Sounds ok…
Sorry goin through bit of a rough patch right now.

[Chromeharpoon]

I hope things get better for you soon.

[MakutaOisli]

Yea,i talked about it in another topic.
I’ll give you that message now.

[Ghid]

It doesn’t because I’m very much completely gone that day

but

that’s sooner than a week and a half so no complaints from me

[Rukah]

Sounds good to me. I’m ready to play.

I unfortunately work that day. So I doubt I’ll be able to join right at launch. Rather I’d most likely pop in much later in the day.

[MakutaOisli]

i also might have stuff to do.

[Chromeharpoon]

It seems like May 3rd at noon is gonna be inconvenient for several of you. I’m perfectly happy to wait until later in the day, or to start the game later in the week. I’ll wait for more people to reply before making any decisions, though.
