There are two forms below to assist you if you intend on running a major plot or putting your character through a canon update. In-depth information about these options can be found in our Character FAQ HERE!

If you have a plot idea, please submit it using the following format;

<B>YOUR NAME;</B> <B>PLOT SUMMARY;</B> <B>INVOLVED CHARACTERS;</B> <B>ESTIMATED TIMESPAN;</B> <B>ANYTHING ELSE;</B>

If you're here for a canon update, use this form!

<B>YOUR NAME;</B> <B>YOUR CHARACTER;</B> <B>SUMMARY;</B> (Give us an update of when you're updating them to - include any personality changes we can expect, as well! If this also includes some sort of power/ability upgrade, this is where to put it.) <B>WHEN?;</b> (When this will take place - ex, 'ASAP', 'a few weeks from now', etc. As soon as you get final approval from the mod, you're good to perform the update.) <B>ANYTHING ELSE;</B>

Regardless of which you do, please make it clear in the subject header via PLOT/CANON UPDATE!

Comments

APPROVED with note

[re_alignedmods]

After some rather horrendous delay, we have decided to approve this plot and your timeline for it, with a limitation on the successful range of the space bridge.

For now, we would like to keep the transport range confined to within the boundaries of the Haven zones, thanks to Lambda/plot interference.

Feel free to backdate the start, given lateness of this reply. We will endeavor to respond more promptly in the future!

[re_alignedmods]

Until we come to a final decision on this plot, we would like to know more about who would be involved and most importantly, the base limits on the gas and how it could eventually be stopped if released.

We recommend seeing what sort of interest you can drum up with an OOC com post, and let us know when you have more information!

Also, please forgive the massive delay; we will endeavor to respond more promptly in the future!

[rungout]

YOUR NAME; Wolfeh
YOUR CHARACTER; Rung
SUMMARY; I'd like to update Rung to the current situation in the comics as of issue #15, knowing everything up to the point that Overlord and Rewind are jettisoned from the Lost Light.

WHEN?; Since Rung is about to be killed by Quickstrike in game, I was hoping I could potentially tie in the canon update with that? Issue #15 will be out a month as of the 20th of this month and if I'm looking at everything right, Rung's five days of being gone should overlap that. I wasn't completely sure if that would work though but I figured I'd post this anyway and see what you guys had to say.

ANYTHING ELSE; Nope! Thanks either way! C:

Approved

[re_alignedmods]

Approved! When Rung returns, he is free to remember everything up through issue 15!

Re: Approved

[rungout]

Thank you guys! BD

[wheeljackofalltrades]

YOUR NAME; RC
YOUR CHARACTER; Wheeljack
SUMMARY;
EDIT: Updating them to 'Darkmount, NV', when Starscream has him captive in Darkmount and he's being questioned. He's just about to get the cortical psychic patch from Shockwave, when he's transferred back.

WHEN?;
Whenever you guys approve it is fine by me!

ANYTHING ELSE;
Not that I can think of!

Question - Game Forum?

[notyourblueangel]

Didn't know where else to ask this except as a PM to the mods, but then I thought if others have the same question, they'd be able to see the answer here.

In June, the pink means "Game Forum". Um . . . what's that mean, exactly? I've tried looking around on other pages to answer my own question ("Does it mean an IC plot will be playing out?" ... "Does it mean there'll be open OOC discussion on something?"), but I either couldn't find it or I managed to skip it over entirely. Knowing me, either's possible.

[re_alignedmods]

You can always ask us questions on the mod contact page and request for them to be unscreened so that everyone can read them, but given that the plot calendar is posted here this is a fine spot for this particular question! :)

The Game Forum will be an OOC discussion post for players to comment on with suggestions, changes they'd like to see, plots they'd like to do, etc. Think of it as an HMD/crit post for the mods and the game itself. We described it a little when it was announced in a past OOC mod post - here's the relevant section:

Also, in order to encourage mod-player communication we will be opening up a bi-monthly (once every two months) 'game forum,' where players will be able to make suggestions about anything ranging from rules to plot ideas. Anon will be enabled so long as comments are kept civil and on-subject (IE we'll delete anything inflammatory, player-specific, or about non-game issues.) This will be a place for everyone to pitch in and help make R/A what you want it to be.

Hope that answers your question!

[notyourblueangel]

*headdesk* There is that. 9,9 I so rarely contact mods that I barely know/remember how...

AH! Oh gods, my memory sucks so badly sometimes. I knew I'd read about it /somewhere/! Trying to remember where or /what/ I'd read was what was messing me up. But yes, that's perfect. Thanks!

[my_own_trope]

YOUR NAME; MmeJack
YOUR CHARACTER; TFP Starscream
SUMMARY; No personality changes; I just want Starscream to be canon updated to "Scattered" S3 episode 2 -- after Wheeljack has 'escaped' his captivity (which was really Starscream's plan all along) but before the plan blows up in his face.
WHEN?; ASAP -- I'd like for him to get the canon update while he's still close to having been in prison. Ideally I'd like to backdate this to before he's been released.
ANYTHING ELSE;
Starscream's prison stay can be extended (since he hasn't been released yet) so it would make it easier to get that canon update during that time, and avoid having to backdate if that will be a problem.

CANON UPDATE APPROVED

[re_alignedmods]

Wheeljack may have noticed he's been feeling tired lately. Some conversations seem distant, and it's been harder to get up in the mornings. The worst part is, it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

In fact, it's getting worse.

A lot worse.

He might be having a conversation or going about his daily business, but at some point Wheeljack will feel an intense pull from something. It compels him to sleep, right then and there, regardless of what he was in the middle of.

When finally he does succumb to the pull, an Acolyte of Solus Prime will find him and return him to the temple's summit: to an empty, seemingly unused room, exactly mirroring the rooms new arrivals find themselves in. There, he will remain unconscious for three days, before eventually awakening with new knowledge, changed by the Lambda.

When finally he does succumb to the pull, Starscream can freely remain within his prison cell without the interference from acolytes. There, he will remain unconscious for three days, before eventually awakening with new knowledge, changed by the Lambda.

[megaton]

YOUR NAME; Saeru
PLOT SUMMARY; Megatron is going to try and get as far into the Badlands as he possibly can, trying to see if they are some Firstforged illusion or if they're actually as terrible as he remembers, and WHY they're a threat.
INVOLVED CHARACTERS; Megatron, anyone who wants to come
ESTIMATED TIMESPAN; A week
ANYTHING ELSE; Obviously he won't be able to answer all of his questions, but if he can figure a few things out it'll help him with the political platform he's trying to build--either for the Firstforged, or against them.

[redshirtrobot]

YOUR NAME; Jayde
YOUR CHARACTER; Fracas
SUMMARY; He's being updated to the tail end of "Thirst", after Airachnid and the Insecticons left. Mostly he's getting new information... and also a much more informed dislike of dark energon and synthetic energon both. And worry about being a zombie terrorcon.
WHEN?; This coming Monday at the earliest, but ASAP
ANYTHING ELSE; Nothing I can think of!

[deadlydoctor]

YOUR NAME; Lylith
YOUR CHARACTER; Knock Out
SUMMARY; I would like to update him to the end of Thirst, after Starscream and him accidentally created some zombie cybertronians mixing Dark Energon with Shyncthetic energon. He will also be aware of all the previous events from the begginign fo season 3, like the predacons.
WHEN?; ASAP would be nice but take your time.
ANYTHING ELSE;

Kids don't mix drugs and corpses

APPROVED

[re_alignedmods]

Megatron is free to wrangle up a group to head out into the Badlands, where he will certainly find all the 'proof' he needs to know just how bad it really is out there. They will be able to make some headway out into the unknown, but likely not as much as hoped for.

Oh sorry, wrong link at all. Here it is: http://deadlydoctor.dreamwidth.org/2326.html

[raceme]

Sorry to bother you again mods, but Knock Out's dead and I can't revive him until I know if the canon update for him is clear.

Thank you for your time.
