General Conversation #1

Hey, Ed! have you checked your E-Mail redcently? If you didn't, just a heads up: I replied to your message a few days ago. No pressure.

Alright, so I want you guys' opinion on something.

Since the Roleplay subforum has garnered next to no attention, I'm feeling the need to delete it, though I'd like to have something in its place. My question is, what would you guys like to see as that new subforum? I was considering it being Art, however, I wasn't sure if we have any artsy people to even post in something like that.

So yeah, feedback away!

Starting a roleplay requires good, original ideas. Running one requires dedication to practically that one roleplay. I have neither at the moment.

I'm already failing at running a different roleplay in a different forum, and I have to other projects (my Minecraft adventure map and a Spore adventure) I'd like to finish before starting a new roleplay up. Plus, my brain is currently developing the stories for the two aforementioned projects, giving me little room to fit in another story. You guys are more than creative enough to come up with your own story idea for a roleplay. I'll participate if something springs up.

Also, Richie, you kinda didn't answer my question.

I was kinda expecting the Roleplay would just be about Mechs and doing bit wars and stuff, kinda like War World or the TCS except roleplaying-styled instead of being sort of a board game or "i blow your stuff up i win!!!!!". you know, we each get a country, pull in all our Mech designs, and duke it out with each other, except that we can utilize our build skill with LEGO to sort of illustrate and clarify on details, eliminating a lot of the discrepancies that most roleplays run into.

although I have to agree with Bio in that this will be rather time-consuming, and I'm not sure I have that time available to do this. as to ideas... honestly I have no clue.



On a change of subject, is anyone else building anything at the moment? conversation around here is practically dead, and the usual number of cool new Mechs being completed more so.

I meant more along the lines of; if I were to make a new subforum, what do you think a good topic for it would be?

Out of curiosity, who came up with the rank-thing you get when you have 42 posts? "The answer to life, the universe, and everything." I almost fell out of my seat when I got that.

I see. you know what that's from, right?

Mechanier Update!

I have good news and bad news. I want to end on a happy note so I'll start with the bad news.

Here at Dragonstar Technologies, we regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel the remainder of the UXM-1 Reboot Program, due to alost a year's worth of delays. However, We still have the prototypes and screenshots on hand. If anyone's still interested, PM me your E-mail Address, and I will send you the entire collection.

Ok, now for the good news.

I'm making tremendous progress with the Thunderstryke project. I've added floodlights and a Pulse-Cannon Turret and I've completed the impossible task of adding a roof and --Oh My Gosh-- A Hatch! Now all I need to do is build the arms, the legs, the gatling gun, and the other weapons, and seal up the back. And then... KAPAO! Thunderstryke!

hmm, you're right. Titan, Thunderstryke, Thunderer, Taurus, Tarantula (one of my old designs from DbM), and even Pterosaur (has a T sound). I'm even working on a Heavy called the Tiger (based off the German Tiger tanks, by the way ).

I suppose Chunk's Guardian doesn't have a T, but I never really understood why that one was a Heavy anyway. and I don't think I know of any Heavies or Superheavies other than the ones I've already mentioned.
