Thanks. It was more to get a sense of how it’s used by the other side. For the exact content... I’ll just have to make a second PC...

We're going to get this thing going roughly 4 pm my time, in about 6 hours from now.

This is going to get interesting when the two big bots start to throw down, quick someone que up some pacific rim music!

Until you are detected, try to keep movements in PMs to me in the main thread.

I looked up the area we arrived in on the map. It looks lovely. Too bad we'll probably end up wrecking the place. Sorry Downdraft.

Hey, All Spark, maybe you could set up the Language Groups for Autobot and Decepticon teams, so we can send secret messages to each other without a lot of private lines or switching to a separate thread?

That's a good idea Slash. Thanks.

Is what I can read.

The language code is good for transmissions we should know about, but not be able to read clearly, the groups can also use a private setting that is only posted to those in the group and better for OOC or undetectable communication.

Guys, please don't do posts as private messages. It starts a PM that isn't in the story thread. This makes it much easier on me, thanks.

Yeah, that was my bad. I clicked the wrong button. Sorry.

Only waiting on Deadshot and Drumfire.

Any Decepticon can tell Antimatter what to do, y'all don't have to wait for the controller to post.

What do you need me to do sorry?

Also I can see the messages private to group autobot is this correct?

I was landed amongst the AA batteries, can I see the autobots coming out of the land bridge?

In reply to Deadshot (msg # 380):

Roll a Surveillance or Intelligence check. If you're just going to stay put, then post that up so I know that nothing has changed.

My son is graduating this weekend from college, so I won't be able to post again until Monday the 3rd of May.

You know whats weird, I just watched the RT Gen:Lock series and now I am strangely wishing that there was a game that kind of was a mix of mostly free form with some dice rolls where people play recruits/soldiers in a futuristic society with military robots. Think it might be fun, though these are the ramblings of someone who is in need of sleep.

So All Spark do you just want us Autobots to post our next actions and go from there or are we still waiting on the decepticons?

I'm going to do a recap and then we'll start the next round. Work has been a bear since I took a day off at the beginning of our work week. As a truck driver, I'm only allowed 60 hours in a week to work on the clock which averages to 12 hours a day. Taking a day off moves this to 15 hours a day, and, since I can only legally work 14 in a day, they are using and abusing me. lol

My workweek starts on Fridays, because Mondays and Fridays are our busiest days and this resets our hours on Thursday. It's rather intelligent I must say.

Thus I'll be delayed in advancing the story along, but I'm going to try to get it done. Just don't be surprised if it isn't til the weekend.

Okay, no worries, I can wait. Okay, Slash can't, but I can. :)

<wonders what kind of Optimus Prime our GM drives, hmm>

All of them are either cab overs or have a sleeper. I drive a day cab, aka that large block on the back doesn't exist, but looks like the Optimus from the Bayverse. It looks a little like Onslaught's cab to be honest.

Sorry for my delay, work had been a bear with the fuel crud going on in the east coast. Everyone is doing everything trying to make sure it gets out and it's blarg. Hopefully I'll have time tonight to do an update.

If your alt mode gives you +1d in Dash do you get dash if you don't have it as long as your in that mode? I am a gunner so don't have dash normally.

Dash is not cumulative with flight, even if you fly in your robot mode you have to choose which type of action to take.

+1d Gain: What the Alt.Mode can do regardless of Function or Alt.Mode restrictions while in the Alt.Mode. If it is normally restricted then the Action simply becomes available. If the Action is already available then this adds that many more dice (+d) to rolling for success.

So you may dash in an alt mode that gives it to you in that alt mode only, but you don't get the bonus die.

Okay, given work requirements, going forward, what I'd like to do is post on the weekend the main group's results of their actions. This means its imperative that, to keep things from stalling for more than a week, everyone needs to get their posts up even if they aren't going to do anything but wait.
