Here's how it's going to work, if nobody read what I said in the other thread.
I'm going to post two topics in the In-Character News thing... prolly tomorrow at some point. They'll have... instructions, basically, on the beginning.
This plot will be very non-rigid. As in, you guys will be able to choose your own path on this. All I have is the beginning, and a vague idea of the end. It's up to you guys to connect the two. If not, though, I do have vague bits I could throw at you to help you along.
For the first part of the first RP, I want to keep a posting order, just to see how it works. (Yeah, ignore this strike thru bit. Explained why below.) When I say so, then anyone can post in any order. But only one post per 'round', and you'll see why when ya get there.
At least give someone 5-7 days to post before skipping over them. If ya get skipped over, you can join back in if you want to.
This will not die, as long as I have at least one person posting with me.
Just to keep things simple and keep me from overloading my brain, only one character/Zoid/Organoid for each 'side'.
I have no idea if there's going to be a reward beyond the finished RP reward. This will not be graded. You guys'll get something if you get through to the end, at least. I'll make it worth it.
This will be multiple RPs long. I have no idea how many at this point, since it kinda depends on you guys. I think at least two, at the very least. Again, depends on what you guys do.
A lot of this is experimentation and trial and error. We tried a site wide plot years and years ago and it kinda failed. I'm seeing if it can be done with this place, because I've seen it done other places.
When I put the news topics up, whoever wants to start the board can start it. I'll wait a few days, and if it's been 5 days without a new post, then I'll post and we'll get started.

*flips a coin and gets heads* James Get out there! *Watches James run out of the base.* Take Cobalt with you! *James returns hops in Cobalt and the two dash off to join the rp.*
One person, one Organoid, one Zoid. No exceptions.
I'm gonna be sending out an email to all the registered members at some point today, to try and get some of them back. If any of you guys know anybody else on here who hasn't shown up in a while, try to get 'em back?
'cause I'm completely not sure what I'm gonna put in said mass email and the thought kinda makes me nervous. ._. *shrug*
Also, I need to figure out how to do it. I know there's a way, but I don't know what it is. Hurr.
EDIT EIDT: which character to use. . . *whistles* I think I'm going to use someone I haven't RP'ed with recently. Sylvan just gets too much attention these days =/
And you guys might want to wait and see what's gonna be put up before you decide on characters. You'll see why when I post the things up.
Yay Slax. No harm in trying, at any rate. Hopefully it should be... not really 'slow' enough for ya, but hopefully you can post and whatnot. Or just post whenever ya can, that's fine. I think we all understand yer situation.
Alright! Mass email sent out! (someone please let me know if you got it, because I didn't send it to myself or the other two admins, and Sam can't access her email account right now, so I have no way of knowing if it actually went through. :x)
The News will go up tonight at some point, once I get home and get situated and get typing.

Sylvan. Sylvan! SYLVAN!
I call for you to bring forth the insanity! TABAZ THE INVINCIBLE! He'll make this massive rp really fun.

lol, that's EXACTLY what I edited out XD
Yes. I will be brining along Tabaz. Sanity permitting.
I can't write anything worth reading right now and I need this to be the best I can do so everything starts out smoothly. So it'll wait till tomorrow when my head isn't splitting open.

Don't you do that to us Sylvan!!
I can bring Ephriam if you guys are still open for taking people. He might not have a very good zoid right now but he has Guts Courage and is a friend of Justice! If you guys arn't taking people I guess Ill just have to hope that it goes well and spawns another one later.
((Anyone in my "Perfect Harmony" topic I apologize for not posting tonight like I said I would. I have somewhat of an excuse though, I was learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ((SP?)) for 6 1/2 hours straight. Thusly I am wiped and unable to post anything coherent right now.))
Like I said, anyone can start the board. Pretty self explanatory on that part. But please, just to make sure things are clear, put the Topic Description in the News topics into the Topic Description of the topics. If that makes sense. Thanks!
If you're the first one there (OOC) then it'd make sense that you'd be the first one there In Character too.
By the way, how I said above to keep a post order? Let's just forget about that. I realized when I was working on this that it won't work prolly.
So, if you get there and someone else gets there, and you guys wanna talk for a few rounds? Go for it. Just exercise common sense and common courtesy when dealing with your fellow players. (And if you're known for being a spam poster, I will deduct your post count for spamming, so watch yourself.)
I think that's it for now! Any questions, just ask here. :D
(Also, I cannot spell 'villain' lol. xD Yay for spell checker)
EDIT: ALSO, IN CASE I WAS NOT CLEAR OR IF I CONFUSED ANYONE.
There are two sides.
You may use two characters. One character/Organoid/Zoid on one side, one character/Organoid/Zoid on the other. But not two of each on the same side. (Ya can't have one character on one side with two Zoids/Organoids, and have the other character with no Zoids/Organoids. Or both characters and their lot on the same side.)

Heyheyhey. I has a question. Because I don't know the innards of this, it's intriguing that I don't know the details and kinda exciting.
I wanna know if there might be room to drop in at a later RP? Or if we wanna get involved, do we HAVE to get involved in the first RP to be part of the plot?
It kinda depends on how everyone directs it? Like, where it goes and what it does and how things play out. So... there might be an opportunity to come in later, and there might not be?
IM me when you have a chance and give me the details of what you're thinking. The best way to be involved is to join in from the start, but I'm not completely against joining in later? But I can't guarantee that there'll be an opportunity to jump in later?
If someone wants to start one of the topics like... before Halloween (RL Halloween), then you guys can. xD I just needed a date, in character, for it to start. Halloween seemed like a good pick.
But you guys don't have to wait. Go for it now if you want.

Woo! Since it's open to start when ever! I opted to have my duo show up early. Hehe, nothing wrong with that. Both are in position and ready to rp with you all! Muhahaha.

I was waiting for more people to join before having my guy wake up. To be quite honest. Then again when he comes out of his current hiding place he's pretty much going to make a lot of noise that'll get a lot of attention to him like tabaz got in the hero side. Here's a hint. He thinks he might be late.
*goes to make a villain inbetween leveling Croconaw* Okay... I'm going to use just one character, I'll name him Hiroki with umm... that Bio Liger I bought a long time ago. Cool? Cool...
The plot is STILL OPEN if anyone wants to jump in. I'm going to post the next bit of the story this weekend at the latest, but ANYONE NEW IS ALLOWED TO JOIN AT ANY TIME.
