The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Wow, just looked that up. I had seriously thought they were other soldiers this entire time.

How many members of Cobalt Squad does that make? Slavik, Crota, Masters, the Mongoose, and the female human that died? There were only four in the first RP.

And if those other characters are indeed back at Crimson, then I'm satisfied. The team is sufficiently optimized :)

How can Aydin be found dead in Vegas when he was nowhere near Vegas to begin with?  I mean, even if he did die there, Aimee and the others would surely know something about that, considering they're still in Vegas and all.

I actually didn't specify where Aydin was. I just mentioned that he was attempting to hitchhike his way to where he hid Trinity's data. Depending on whose car he got into, he could have wound up anywhere.

The real question is why his death was important enough to reach Texas newspapers, but that's okay because newspapers have the Worst News Judgment Ever.

Yeah, if anything, I'm sure the newsworthy thing in Vegas would have to be Neku and War's fight that's literatly tearing up the Las Vegas Strip in the process and a few dead bodies around to kick.

I'm sure that would be all over the news by now :p

yeah Aydins death (which I assume is probably from foul play) would be buried on page 97A, while the first 5 pages would be devoted to the carnage war is spreading.. never miss a chance to sensationalize a story..

After some time and some really deep thought, I guess I'm finally done here in Darwin's Soldiers.  I can't really say I've had fun until now, since I lost the fun in it a few months ago.  For some of you in this game, I wish you luck in completing a great story.  For others...I won't say, especially here.

Since all my chars are practically non-existent now, there's no need to give them to someone to use for the rest of the story.  And no, they won't be mentioned any further.

Yeah, ta ta Mirumoto, it's been fun while it lasted *tips hat*

But I do have a poser of a question in regards to something, since his characters would be no longer present at the base in question.....I take it that Soundwave could very well be put in charge of said base instead?

You know, having a rouge AI in charge of something, unlike Appeture Labortories with GlaDOS :p

Yeah, MrDrake, you should totally have SouNdwave take over New Peenemunde. Maybe he could take O'Neill hostage.

If nobody minds, I'm going to blow up Crimson Base in a few posts. I think a large amount of the secondary characters at the base should perish, or at least leave their fate ambiguous. It'd be a real blow to the heroes' morale, and nobody at Crimson is really affecting the plot anymore.

Okay, sure.

But Dr. Joe, Wally and the others with the hero's group, what do we do with them? I think having them die in the way that I killed off Aydin is frankly, insulting to Kenjiro and his really good characters.

----------------------

And about the tropes page, I've been the only one updating it for a while.

Also, Aydin's death is definitely an example of a Bus Crash but is it a example of Dropped A Bridge On Him? I mean, yes I admit that I kind of did that out of spite because I really don't like Aydin as a character and he dies in a very anticlimactic fashion.

----------------------

Kenji, goodbye and good luck with your future RPs. It was good having you in the RP since the beginning. Sad to see you go since your characters were really good. We'll miss you.

I think we should have them survive, but lose a lot of friends in the proiocess. this leaves the fate of the anti-dragonstorm cause resting even more so  on the shoulders of Aisha Landon, Rouc Alfred and the others.

Starfall, I was gonna rely on Kagetora saving her, possibly through his teleportation thing he can do.

Mirumoto's characters definitely shouldn't die. They've been around since the first role-play. They deserve legitimate endings.

Perhaps, once the heroes learn that Crimson Base is destroyed, they decide to take over Texas Base instead of destroy it and make it their new headquarters? As members from Crimson Base, Dr. Joe and Vic would be the obvious candidates to become the new leaders of this Texan base.

And yeah, Serris, it is Dropping a Bridge on Him. There was no real reason to mention him again, he could have easily just never be mentioned again, but instead he was killed off-screen.  (not complaining; I had wanted to kill him, but couldn't because of the .01% chance Noname was coming back.)

Done, Soundwave is now in charge of the base.  But question, who else is still in Soundwave's base....the harbour that is?  Just so I know whom it is that Sounwave can insult and the likes :p

The most important character is Dr. O'Neill, but you might want to be careful about insulting him; he's the second most powerful person in Dragonstorm. Ezekiel would be fun since he's rather full of himself, and other than that there are some minor characters such as Smithson, Narcissus, and Mnestheus. Some doublebladed woman who appears and disappears out of thin air is floating around as well.
