Transformers RPG Season I Sign up/OOC Thread

It is bunnying, which is why Spike should clear it with you first.

But still, why can't he have ordered Jazz on his mission though? I don't see how it would take away the importance of Bumblebee's mission to allow Spike to do his thing when they're different objectives.

maybe i misread it, but it sounded to me like he wanted Jazz to go find out how Megatron is planning to destroy the arc. That is Bumblebee's mission.

Yep, that's what I'm trying to do . Otherwise I would've posted in the IC thread already with this plot.

 

[Kaboom]

I thought Bumblebee was doing his thing without the knowledge of the other Autobots anyway. At least, that's how it came across in the application.

Besides, the Ark and the Nemesis have to crash somehow, and if Bumblebee prevents the Deceps' plans to destroy the Ark, then it and the Nemesis still have to have a reason to crash.

Bumblebee saves everyone's lives by preventing the Ark from blowing up. I'd say that's still pretty damn important. All Jazz does is make sure that the Decepticons go down with them after the villains use their failsafe plan to crash the Ark instead of blowing it up.

it makes sense that megatron would have a failsafe. however, if bumblebee is supposed to find out how megatron is supposed to blow up the Ark, and only discovers the primary attack not the failsafe, but Jazz does discover the failsafe, that means bumblebee failed in his mission since he didn't discover both.

 

[Kaboom]

what i would be willing to allow is if Sentinel Prime sends both Jazz and Bumblebee on the mission. Jazz can sacrifice himself so that bumblebee can return with the information of the bomb in order to save the autobots. WHat they dont know at this time, is that attached to bumblebee is a modem of sorts which will upload the virus once he gets there.

and then Jazz can do his thing from the Nemesis. Is that cool?

So what? None of them are supposed to be perfect soldiers.

Then Bumblebee still didn't know about both plans, so how is it any different from the original idea?

bc if the bomb is set to explode on a timer, then they have to get back in time to prevent it. If jazz finds out after Bumblebee leaves to stop the timer, then its not as though bumblee messed up.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

oh and Masked.....the current leader of the Autobots is not Optimus, its Sentinel Prime.

Ah. My bad. When I read through both Optimus' and Sentinel's posts, I assumed Optimus was doing the actual resistence while Sentinel was just chilling.

I'll edit that now.

"I am the great Cornholio! I need T.P. for my bunghole!"

Naah. Don't know if you ever read The Stand by Stephen King. There's a character called The Trashcan Man. He's a pyro who shows undying devotion to Flagg (the bad guy) because he promises him he can burn and destroy as much stuff as he wants.

F**kin' LOVE The Stand.

The only horror book that actually scared me.

As opposed to bringing the virus-loaded modem onboard the Arc with him, which wouldn't be messing up?

I just don't see how it takes anything away from Bumblebee if he saves everyone's lives from the bomb. It's great! He saved everyone's lives!

But the Arc and the Nemesis still have to go down together.

If we go by the original plot, it's not as if anyone's going to say "you failed your mission Bumblebee," since he did find out about the bomb and saved everyone's asses. He wouldn't have failed. There's no reason why he has to be perfect, otherwise he should be the one getting the Matrix of Leadership.

All this Bumblebee/Jazz stuff has made me go cross-eyed.

trust me pal the posts had nothin to do wit it. t:

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Okay, so, where would the Autobots be? Are they already on the Ark? One of the posts made it sound like that and now I'm confused.

 

[Spike_x1]

I dunno, I just don't understand why both of our original plots can't work. Both characters get to play hero: Bumblebee more than earns his place in the Autobot ranks, while Jazz gets to make a "for the greater good decision" by taking both ships down instead of just the Arc.

It seemed to me, at the time of thinking it up, that we all get what we want.

IMO, Bumblebee carrying the virus onboard with him actually seems to work against what you're trying to establish for him, Kaboom.

I wouldn't feel bad that someone of the likes of Megatron was capable of tricking Bumblebee. It's sort of Megatron's deal.

The fact of the matter is saving the Ark was supposed to be Bumblebee's first task to prove himself worthy.

Thats what I set up in my application, that's what I was approved for.

Now Jazz wants to do so something similiar.

Despite that, I proposed a story idea where both ideas could exist at the same time under a directive from Sentinel Prime that both Jazz and Bumblebee work together.

Still this isn't good enough. Essentially it seems you just want to carry-on with what you originally planned.

Now, in every RPG I've been a part of I have had to make sacrifices to my story for the RPG as a whole and because the game mods told me so.

In CAH i was the first electricity based character, then three more showed up, at which point I offered to change my power-set for the betterment of the rpg.

In OU the original plan was for Hawkman to have been Spartan from Wildstorm, (since Wildsotrm is part of DC) that idea was nixed.

Then I wasn't allowed to kill kree captain marvel (even though JB had free reign to kill captain britian).

In this new DC rpg I'm not technically allowed to be Superman at this point, despite being the first to reserve the name "Superman" and we're going to work out the details later.

What I'm saying is, in every RPG we all have to work together. I offered a proposal, if you don't like it, give me another. BUt don't just come back at me with "well i still think my idea is the way it should be done."

Or Senitnel Prime will denounce you a traitor. (not really, I would never act of character like that). But you get what I'm saying.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Whoa, then someone would DEFINITELY be using a contingency plan.


But I wouldn't mind them working together. The only problem would really be that two literally working together could botch things up for the other. Of course, DISCOVERING each other in the same place could have worse consequences.

Fine, if you're going to freak out about it, then I might as well point out the fact that in your application, Bumblebee was supposed to go on the mission on his own accord. Not under orders from anyone, and then sneak onboard the Arc. Why would he have to sneak onboard if he had Sentinel Prime's authorization? Don't bother bringing up the details in your app unless you're actually staying true to them yourself; even if I was doing anything related to Bumblebee's mission (which I'm not).

Bumblebee does prevent the Arc's destruction. He saves everyone's lives. He's a hero. How many times do I have to type that?

You get what you wanted in your application. There's no comprimise required of you in there whatsoever. So why do you act as if I'm forcing such a comprimise out of you?

The Arc has to crash on Earth anyway to go along with the basic Transformers plotline, right? So all Jazz is doing, when all is said and done, is making sure that the Nemesis crashes too. Nobody would've died from the crash, so it's not as if Jazz saved anyone's life like Bumblebee did; so I don't see how it's taking anything away from the importance of Bumblebee's success.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Ok, I hope I did fine with my first Red Alert post. I'm not entirely sure what is going on in Cybertron right now, so I tried my best.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Eddie, hope you don't mind me coming in. Don't know how else to get involved in the big story.

It's fine. I don't know what else to do for the time-being.

Glad to see this thing getting underway. I'll make my Soundwave and Starscream posts when I get back from chruch. See ya.

I know I'm going to hell for that, but it was worth it.
