Uss Kittyhawk

http://zypherion.deviantart.com/favourites/#Kittyhawk-collection

I just posted the photos into a collection on my deviantart site. These photos I took today of the USS Kittyhawk who will be decommissioned on the 31st here in Bremerton Washington. I only live 30 minutes drive from there. My Dad, who served aboard her from 1962 to 1966, had the family go on the tour with him. Saw a lot of stuff there but was selective about the photos I took. 48 years is a long time, let us hope they don't have to take her out of mothballs like they did the Missouri some years back.

I'd totally forgotten that I had a log of this, and two weeks late, here it is: http://transformers.rpg-works.net/tfdd/attack-on-crystal-city.html.

New Megatron

Mon Feb 09 Megatron

All right. I'm a new Megatron and not a temp. I'm also new to the mush so go a bit easy on me. However, I will do my best to provide enjoyable plots...and maybe even a few funny ones.

I've pretty much just finished moving, and at the time of this posting, am still struggling with getting the futon to behave.

I have another trip ahead of me; visiting my Grandma back in Cali. I should start for said trip at the end of the week. It shouldn't take too long, but, I make no promises about my online time until the end of the month.

Apologies to all. ><

Cubicron Territories

Thu Mar 26 Nannar

---

So that folks know, should they venture into the depths. Cubicron is run by several gangs in many of its parts, and one part of the territory is patrolled and maintained by a certain cop bot who keeps out the riff raff.

Divisions are per gang, mafia, or other. If new OCs appear and take up the reigns as mafia, gangs, etc, in Cubicron. PLEASE contact me, there is also an object in the main OOC room with info pertaining to this.

Territory is marked starting from the top level of Cubicron, and moves down following the map. Player Characters who control territory have their name marked in color.

The Buffer Zone: The law in The Buffer Zone is maintained by Metro-X, the area is also known simply as Cubicron -- Level 1. It isn't false law, or a thin veil for other activity. He is an honest cop, and works for the people. A form of deputized militia of combat capable mechanism form a sort of neighborhood watch and patrol. They've been unified and given a visible leader to stand behind. Crime is becoming less and less apparent in The Buffer Zone, but gangs from the lower levels of Cubicron City make forays to try and oust the Lawbot. Lifeline is also a force to be reckoned with, though she lacks in combat ability, her skill at repair and her honest treatment of Cubicronians who approach her for repairs has earned her a great deal of respect. Many would rise up to attack mechanisms attempting to threaten the doctor, and it is widely acknowledged, by law abider and criminal alike, that the area around her repair bay is a neutral zone, often used as a meeting spot for peace treaties, or truces, for fear of losing access to the skilled doctor if they were to violate her rule.

The Maulers: Territory is the Cubicron Suburbs, The Maulers are made up of thugs, toughs, and gladiators who have escaped from Polyhex. They are particularly violent, and have little patience for attempts to invade their territory. They primarily extort mechanisms for energon, and energon credits. Mugging, home invasion, and armed robbery is another favorite pastime.

Double Entendre Organization: DEO runs the Shopping District, and the Entry Ramps of Cubicron. Extortionism and 'toll roads' are their chief source of income. They have connections to the Cubicron Government, and also run energon siphoning rackets as added 'income' to their operation. They regularly have problems with the Maulers to the west, and act as an unintentional stopgap to keep them from rampaging on a regular basis.

Overseer: Holding the Eastern Barrens and Cubistadium, Overseer runs his cartel tightly. Using the roving gangs as foot soldiers without being visibly in control of them, and even allowing them to name themselves, treating their 'gang titles' as squad names like a general watching over an army. Cubistadium, despite the gangs under Overseer that regularly brawl over who controls what part, is used to deal with 'problems' of the Mafioso. He keeps his presence there to a minimum, peeking in only when he needs to guide his soldiers in the right direction, rather than at each other.

No Mech's Land: No Mech's Land is an entity of its own kind. No gangs hold control over it, savage, maniacal, and murderous femmes and mechs dwell here. No one knows why they congregate so, but no one has been able to house them. No Mech's Land is dangerous to everyone, and gang presences here are regularly to keep the lunatics from seeping over into their borders.

The People's Watch: The tumbled down Former Residential District is maintained by the TPW, claiming that it is a conglomeration of civilians seeking to keep the crime away, TPW is led by the charismatic femme Boria. Having escaped slavery in a now defunct mafia, she used the time spent as a servant to pick up lessons in how to lead. Her two main problems though: the medical zones to the west, and No Mech's Land to the east.

Doctor Gear-Klink: Things are bad enough in the Medical District, with the hack doctors who practically run chop shops out of their claimed service bays. But Dr. Gear-Klink is the leading force. Stronger, smarter, and crazy enough to cow the others, he demands tribute in parts regularly, and those who refuse, or can't make payment, often end up as 'donors' to his own supply cache.

The Black Market: The Industrial and Factory zones of Cubicron rest under the thumb of Bigshot. Confidant in his control, chopped repair parts kits come out of the factories, as do legitimate items of the same kind. Cybertronian narcotics also come out of the factory zones, namely Syk, though it has not been successfully traced back to the Black Market by law enforcement... if it becomes too much of a problem then The Black Market may find themselves in trouble with the corrupt politicians as well as the legitimate ones. The industrial zone produces weapons, illegal and otherwise, supplied with licenses purchased from pocketed officials to keep up appearances, but illegal mods do sneak under the radar.

The Cubicron Government Council: Holding, by far, the largest single recognized territory in Cubicron. Stretching from Shattersteel Prison on its furthest west, to the Energon Storage Sector on the eastern edge. The Council of Cubicron, led by Iudex Imperatrix, is a rats nest of back stabbers, plotters, schemers, gang puppets, and honest mechs and femmes trying to get things back to the way they once were. Iudex is a mixed bag, she owes favors to some of the gangs, but she keeps from being firmly placed in their pockets by her own guile. She holds many of the other nine council members to heel, by her ability to negotiate with Militia Commander Mach Six and maintain him as the leader of the Government Zone's paramilitary. Entry to the Government zone is highly restricted, with armed guards and constructed walls to hold out the riff raff while enforcing a lock system to check entrants for possible threats. Cubicron Tower itself has become a fortress, from which Iudex Imperatrix looks over all with a calculating optic.

Crystal City Council

Mon Mar 30 Nannar

---

Hierophant of Crystal City Solarix

Standing as the ultimate voice of power in Crystal City, Solarix has control of the speaking floor, veto, and passing power amongst the council as he is often the deciding vote should there be a possible tie amongst the council members. Alongside his duties as Hierophant, and supreme leader of Crystal City, Solarix also commands the Crystal Guard, and is the highest ranked speaker for the Temple of Primus. Ruling with an even hand, he is known to become stern only when it is needed, and has enjoyed the love of the people for the centuries he has commanded. With power to force the council towards his own decisions, he prefers to allow for democracy, unless times demand emergency action lest the city fall to destruction.

Department Of Energy Adjutant Computare Ponere

The Department of Energy handles all dealings in Energon for Crystal City. From locating possible harvesting locations, what types of facility are to be used to acquire energon, city distribution, and energon rationing. Adjutant Computare Ponere rules his department with an iron fist. Extreme in his regards to managing the 'books', and thorough in what amounts are traveling where. Computare covets the position Solarix holds as Hierophant of Crystal City, regularly voicing suggestions at council meetings for application of the Crysguard for more aggressive action to gain more fruitful pastures to further swell the city's coffers. In contradiction he is loathe to provide more than what would be needed for a given operation, attempting to balance energon use to exact amounts. Part of this is said to be because of his interests in hoarding the energon supplies for himself.

Department of Transit Adjutant Bellaport

The Department of Transit maintains travel throughout Crystal City, and for the Crysguard. Regularly she chafes at the skinflint tactics of Adjutant Computare Ponere, demanding at every council meeting that more power is needed to fund the transit systems. Employing hundreds of Crystal City Citizens with alt-modes capable of carrying Cybertronians incapable of long distance travel themselves, or for transformers to function as medical transport units. Special considerations are also worked, for transformers to be combat modded for the Crysguard to act as troop transport and medivac personnel.

Department of Health Adjutant Docstrix

The duties of the Department of Health are hard to mistake. Handling all military and civilian medical services for Crystal City. Adjutant Docstrix works close in hand with Adjutant Bellaport to ensure medical transport and medivac personnel are qualified for at least basic field repair services before allowing a grant of license to perform. Her pacifistic nature often grinds against the senses of Adjutant Battle Titan, who regularly demands that Cybertronians she clears for action as combat medics and medivac should be turned over to his department, so that they can be given more extensive combat training. Docstrix also often voices concerns to Hierophant Solarix in consideration to the outward activity of the Crysguard, siding with Adjutant Magis Laboriosus that regular skirmishes lead to shortages in repair parts and fresh equipment.

Department of Labor Adjutant Magis Laboriosus

The Department of Labor handles all issues pertaining to Trade, Marketing, Factory, Industrial, and General Labor services within Crystal City. Headed by the aging femme known as Magis Laboriosus, the regular demands, and concern, of the Adjutant is to have Hierophant Solarix enforce requisition from the Department of Energy to expand spending budgets, and to expand employee roster limits. More than any other department, Adjutant Magis makes the most requests, also, for the outward expansion of Crystal City. Either by claiming more territory and expanding its dome, or by building deeper into the Cybertronian Underground. Another regular opponent of Adjutant Battle Titan, Magis Laboriosus voices many complaints against conscription expansions that are suggested, claiming that it will only deplete employee rosters of valuable laborers.

Department of The Interior Adjutant Organum Intelligere

Maintaining Crystal City's infrastructure of Protoform Fabrication, Judicial Services, Housing, and the Treasury, Adjutant Organum often works side by side with Adjutants Computare and Magis. Being the machine that is most capable of vetoing Adjutant Computare's proposed Energon budgets. Employing lawyers and judges to deal with criminals taken in by the CrysGuard, as well as finding proper billeting for all new, current, and displaced members of the city population. Another coveter of Solarix's position as the Hierophant of Crystal City, seeing the old mechanism as a roadblock for furthering his own seat of power within the domed city.

Department of Military Affairs Adjutant Battle Titan

Battle Titan is the mailed fist of the Crystal City Council. Though he commands no power amongst the Crysguard, he is respected for being a long serving veteran, having been forced to hang up his blaster cannons in exchange for paperwork and bureaucracy. Handling the maintenance demands of the Guardian force, he is regularly at odds with Adjutant Doctrix due to his demands levied onto the Department of Health. Head butting between Battle Titan and Adjutants Computare Ponere and Magis Laboriosus is regular, though for him it is less their own complaints, and more that he feels more factories should be transferred to his command to further the weapon and armor production for new and current Crysguard. Though seeking no seat higher than he has, he does often voice that command of the Crysguard should be taken from Solarix, and transferred directly to his command, as he is the Adjutant of Military Affairs.

Department of Foreign Affairs Adjutant Ambactus Observare

Handling all things dealing in Immigration, Emigration, and Foreign relations, Adjutant Ambactus is the least vocal of all the council members. Cunning, sly, and resourceful, as any politician who deals with the outside should be, he only raises a voice in the council when concerned about the number of migrants coming in or out of Crystal City. Supporting Battle Titan's regular suggestions of tightening regulations on either front, to keep out rabble, and keep in mechanisms useful to the city as a whole.

Upgrade Apps

Tue Mar 31 Nannar

---

While we await the eventual implementation of the +train/+teach code, and other such things for experience point expenditures. Fill out these questions, and @mail them to Nannar (For setting up scenage for upgrades) Annubis (Head Charstaff) and Discordia (Head Admin/Charstaff). Normally, applying for an XP advancement without a PC for a Trainer isn’t suggested. BUT if you need, you are not stuck if you cannot find someone to RP it with.

Answer these questions thoroughly, and to the best of your ability, as they will determine your approval for advancement.

1: What is the upgrade you are looking for?

2:Why do you not have a PC for a trainer? (This could be because the upgrade you want, PCs you know of do not have the hardware/software for it):

3: How do you intend to get this upgrade? (IE: Seeking an NPC trainer, 'teaching self' in field use, these are functional examples but should be expanded on for an upgrade app):

4:For Attributes and Software, what is your current level in the attribute to be upgraded?

Addendum to Upgrade Apps

Wed Apr 01 Discordia

Justification for the upgrade is also required. We would eye any medics trying to buy cannon, or any soft hearted chars buying interrogation, so remember to make your upgrades fit your character!

Incentives of DOOM!

Tue Apr 07 Nannar

---

Incentive bonuses have been expanded upon! Have friends who like transformers? Have friends who would like to play a transformer? I am still offering XP for players who recruit new members to the game. But to be fair, there is -no- faction limit. Decepticon, Neutral, Autobot, Crystal City? BRING IT OOOOOONNNNN! </Joe>

If you bring a person on, let me -Nannar- know about it. Tell me who their character is. I have access to know the date they're approved for the grid. I will mark the day, I will keep track of it, and even send you: the recruiter, the dates on which you shall receive an XP point for recruiting. Every 30 days that the friend you recruit gets active - you get 1 xp. And that will be paid to you for 3 months. Heck, depending on how active they are in the game during that time, I may just throw them an XP as well, to say 'Thank you' for being active in the game and helping continue the story!

Other rewards for you recruiting: I will put priority on Personal Plots, and/or Plot Suggestions from the Recruiter and Recruited (naturally I can't overshadow current plots happening at the time, but your personal stuff takes a top slot in the Personal/Spotlight TPs I run) If wanted I will make vested attempts at sketches of your character done by myself, (examples of my work are at: http://mr-rathburn.deviantart.com) or hit up my close friend Dicky, who I need to place artwork of online for examples. I'm here for you guys, if you wanna help out with aiding in the expanded RP and fleshing out of this game then I am -extra- here for you guys. :)

Now get out there and RP!

War Season!

Wed Apr 15 Discordia

Annie The Blind Archer has been called up for duty to fight for either Beauty and Grace, or Brawn and Power in the SCA, and will be travelling to the far Barony of Borealis (Edmonton, AB, Canada) to shoot for who REALLY is the power behind the crown! Thus, she will be gone from Friday morning to Sunday evening this weekend. The other staffers will be in charge. Have fun, don’t burn anything without me.

Back!

Mon Apr 20 Discordia

---

And bad within certain preset parameters. I'm a little more refreshed now and though my weekends are still booked, expect to see more activity from me to get this place hopping! Anyone and everyone is welcome to bring concerns to me about the game or suggestions - remember we love hearing from you!

Timezones

Tue Apr 21 Shark

---

Let's make this clear to stop the conversion confusion for TP announcements. PST is the earliest time zone for the US and Canada. Then comes MST. Then CST. Then EST. So when Disco says 8:30 MST, she really means 10:30 EST, which in turn means 7:30 PST and 9:30 CST. Got it? - Mr. Jaws

Err... Timezones

Tue Apr 21 Discordia

My bad. I was always terrible at time zone conversions. That and chess. Shark is correct.

Mon Apr 27 Nannar

I've been hill. Missed some work today, likely in bed before my usual times.

I'll try to do plot-ey things as they occur, just need folks to be on for some of 'em. But either way, if I seem a little slow it's the medicine. Hopefully I'll be well soon.

Farewell

Sun Jun 21 Ironhide

---

Well folks, with my approval to play as Optimus Prime, it looks like my time as Ironhide will be coming to an end. I'd like to thank everyone who made my tenure as the Big Red Machine so enjoyable; without all of you playing the game with me, I'd just be playing with myself. And that just sounds.... dirty. Anyway, thanks again, I've had a blast, and keep on doing your thing, guys. This MUSH is one of the best I've participated in, and I'm honored to be able to serve the MUSH in a bigger capacity as the Autobot faction head.

That being said....

Sun Jun 21 Optimus Prime

---

I'm your new Optimus Prime. I'm happy to continue any storyline that the last Prime wasn't able to finish, very palatable to new ideas and plots, and looking forward to getting things rolling on the Autobot side once again. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason. I intend to be proactive with the character, but your participation and support will be much appreciated. I've already got a few plot ideas that I'd like to implement, and I'll be rolling those out over the next several months. Let's work together to make this MUSH the best it can be.

Seeking TP Staff!

Tue Jun 30 Nannar

I, and Disco, are looking for a secondary TP staffer. Should you wish to have the job, send word to me and Disco. Even if you don't want to create plots, an additional hand would be helpful, even if for only running scenes for plots.

Re: Prime

Wed Aug 19 Ironhide

---

It's true, I'm giving up the Matrix and going back to the character I know best. I don't think I'm really able to put in the requisite time that a faction head deserves, and besides, Ironhide is a better fit for me. Prime feels like a job instead of a pastime, and since Disco REFUSES to pay me, it's time to step aside. I'll still be running Optimus until someone steps up to the task. So I guess for now I'll be playing the role of Peter Cullen.

Setting Email

Tue Jan 26 Death

---

I would like everyone to please make sure your email is set upon your character. This was originally set in the first room of Character Generation by doing this: +assign Email to youremail@whatever.com This /MUST/ be a legitimate email. NO FAKE EMAILS. You can also set a public email up for ALL to see by doing:&pub_email me=youremail@whatever.com Unfortunately an EX ME or @DECOMP ME does not show you the player if you set the admin only visible email, though I do believe the public one would be visible. So if you want me to check if the admin only visible email is set, I can do so. Thanks for your cooperation in this! - Death

TP Planning

Tue Jan 26 Death

To help with planning TPs so we can get the max number of players involved I would like to ask players to please @mail me with days that work best for you along with evening hours that work best for you. Please note your time zone. I will track all data on a spreadsheet. Oh and if you would state in your @mail the names and factions of your character(s) that would be very helpful! - Death

Wiki!

Fri Jan 29 Death

Hello all. I have done some work with the wiki in regards to the logs and anything else that needed to be categorized. I'd like to thank Vitacus for putting in a character category as well as a OC and Autobot category. It was something I wanted to do after seeing the 2K5 and TU wikis. Hopefully a Decepticon, Neutral, and FC category can be added to the character section so we can plug in all our wonderful OCs/FCs for all to see. If you would like to check out the wiki, point your browser to: http://darkagesofcybertron.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Ages_of_Cybertron_Wiki

Logs?

Mon Mar 01 Death

That is the question. There have been times when I have asked for folks to log. I'm sure there have been times folks have logged and just didn't get around to cleaning those logs up. What I would like to encourage everyone to do is check your computer for DAC MUSH logs that are NOT up on the wiki yet and email them to me at: zypherion@hotmail.com

What's in it for you? 1 nom per uncleaned log. 2 noms per clean log (no pages/ooc/channel chatter). 3 noms per clean/spell checked log. If it's a log relating to a TP, you'll get an extra nom.

I also encourage players to log any RP in the future, the same nom system will apply. Also, anyone participating in TPs I will personally give 4 noms for doing so. I hope this encourages everyone to get out there, RP, participate in TPs, log, and send in those logs! - Death

+events

Thu Mar 04 Death

Thanks to a helpful coder type (Minion) the +events is working again! YAY! To help yourself with the Timezone Issue (which is now set for EST in +events), you will need to set &tz me=-8 (for PST), &tz me=-7 (for MST), &tz me=-6 (for CST), &tz me=0 (for GMT) - unfortunately you will have to RESET this when daylight savings comes around in 1.5 weeks. Then you can +events/tz and get YOUR time zone listed for all events. +event # will give you the specifics of the event. If you got questions, just shoot them toward me or Disco until the help file on +events is up and running

+roll and you

Tue Mar 09 Death

All right, in the situation where +roll is being used and participants are both succeeding, the person with the highest total wins. so if your succeed is 18 with total of 35 and the opponent is 15 with total of 25, then your roll wins out. If the totals tie, just reroll it. Same can apply if you both fail the roll. Hope that helps settle any confusion. -Death

+help faction

Tue Mar 09 Death

It was discovered that there was an issue with using commands under +help faction. To fix this, characters would have to &FACTION_DEFAULT me=Abbreviation here (AUT for Autobot, CC for Crystal City, DEC for Decepticon, UNA for Neutral/Unaffiliated). That way +roster and other faction commands would work. Please adjust yourself accordingly. Thanks! - Death

Daylight Savings Time

Sat Mar 13 Death

At 2am Sunday those of us that do Daylight Savings will be setting our clocks forward. This will affect the &tz me setting, so your new one will be &tz me=-7 (for PST), &tz me=-6 (for MST), &tz me=-5 (for CST), &tz me=-1 (?) (for GMT). EST does NOT set this since +events shows as EST. +events/tz will show you the time zone for your area once you do the &tz me setting. Any questions, just page ask me. - Death

Mail checks

Sun Mar 14 Death

Just a reminder to please check your @mail for new messages on a regular basis. There are times when I or other staff may contact you about upcoming tps or for upgrades that you apply for (news cgcost for more on that). Feel free to @mail back too! Discordia will handle the upgrading questions. She or I can handle tp questions. Character questions should go to Annubis. - Death

Goa's OOU background

Sun Mar 21 Goa

"Retired" from his position as an unaffiliated energon dealer in the prestige of the Decepticons, their practices under Starscream's rule drove Goa away from the pursuit of wealth... though he would deny their slow fall from power had anything to do with it. The crimes he claims to have witnessed make him, indeed, a little preachy in his criticism of mercantile pursuits. There are worse traits to have for a mech who spends most of his time collecting, analyzing, and blending energon and its constituent fuels. He even serves it to his fellow Autobots if he's given the chance and not found too irritating.

Goa's alt mode, heavily modified since joining the Autobots, appears to be based off of a mine clearing vehicle. His 'back' is practically a separate armored unit, with two extra limbs capable of handling several times his weight.

Firestorm's OOU desc

Sun Mar 21 Firestorm

Things were much different this time around. With timeline now ruled by Starscream, Firestorm's past had been utter chaos. With a not as keen ruler came different results in experimentation on her. Replacing the moderately corrupted fembot in the separate universe was now a rabid monster.

Firestorm had now become highly corrupted by the poorly executed experiments she was subjected to, the electric blue lines usually found on wings and rudders now reaching here and there across her main body. Firestorm's mind had also been badly damaged in the process, leaving her incredibly hostile with extreme mood swings and a mindset that bordered on feral while large pieces of her past memory were shoved so far back that they only appeared in flashbacks.

Now she was merely a tool, a savage weapon to be kept away until needed. Such measures would entail being chained in the dungeons, equipped with an energy draining shock collar to keep her in order in public, or stationed in the throne room where she was ordered to guard the emperor himself. However that last one is usually tricky since she lashed out at Starscream every chance she got, hating him for what he'd turned her into.

Chains' OOU Desc

Sun Mar 21 Chains

Without the pressure the Decepticons were putting on the various independents, Chains never felt any need to shift allegiances from his gang over to the Autobots to protect anyone. He still feels no sympathy for the Decepticons, but isn't overly prejudiced against them either.

Instead, with the 'cleaning up' of Cubicron, different gangs took over, though they remained a reality, if in far less of the city. Those who were too destructive were wiped out or contained, while others, like Chains' 'Guardians' who served primarily to protect the worse-off parts of town didn't get the same kind of attention, and became stronger for the elimination of their rivals.

Chains has virtually kicked even the mafia out of his neighborhood entirely, and without having to worry too much about the war efforts on a constant basis, has turned attention instead to building up the worst neighborhoods, keeping the worst elements out, and establishing his own 'bikerbot bar', where anyone can drink and socialize, and enjoy whatever entertainment they can manage, but any sign of trouble will get outsiders bounced quickly.

In short, he's almost becoming respectable. Almost.

Lets do the Timewarp Again!

Mon Mar 22 Optimus Prime

Wasn't there a few comics where Prime gets tossed around Time and space?

• thinks on this...*

I think there was, just can't remember if it was the British Marvel-- or future dated comics, anyhow. Let me explain the state of things for you Autobots under our faction, with this whole Time warp mess.

First Off - Optimus Prime does not exist! Yes, I am not there, but whom is to lead you? You will all be lead by Ultra Magnus and I, Optimus Prime, am Orion Pax(or the long name, but will just go with Orion for easy spelling).

This means, I don't have the matrix, and the matrix is-- somewhere. It may be with Ultra Magnus, it may be with the Council. Though I feel it is probably with the Council.

As the story progresses Optimus Prime may arise, will just have to find out? However in the real time, you are still all my servants.. I mean soldiers! Yes.. soldiers.. Anyhow, have fun with this and I will do my best as your fac-head to try to keep things lively in either world.

Good day! *gets more coffee*

How To Get Ahold of that Prime

Tue Mar 23 Optimus Prime

I have some strange hours and log on points, as I tend to check on MU*s at random points of the day and my most log activity is on early in the morning to about the afternoon, then I randomly stuck my nose in late at night.

For one, I live in Arizona, so we don't serve Daylight savings. We are -7 GMT and for the moment we are on California's time, however when DLS ends, Cali is then an Hour behind us and the rest of the MST becomes our same time zone, instead of being an hour ahead of us. Now with that explained...

If you ever need to reach me, I do have AIM and I have an email. Email is: neva dot foxxy at gmail dot com and AIM is LunarLeodaur. If you are gonna contact me on AIM, it is best to say who you are and where you are from, because I may turn around and block you. I tend to like my privacy rl, so I am a bit finicky around messengers and such.

Another method is maybe to use the MUDTape we have. I am not really sure how it works, but I am on M3 a lot and sometimes on SRT, but mostly on M3. So if M3 is on that list, just page me via that and page the following characters - Aeolus Cyber Hound Trance Ferham

On SRT I am - Archangel Hera Saiga Junki

These two MUSHes are heavily active with a populace of 30+ people and given scene there may be about 5 to 20 people rping in one combat scene and this is the reason when I am on and I am very, very slow on replies, you can figure I am on there, in a middle of a scene, writing a large battle post as it is common there to have people writing poses that are several(like 7) paragraphs long or more.

Hopefully this helps anyone to try and snag me. I will attempt to keep up with things but I still got allot more organizing to do with this faction before I can do that because we have one heck of a MIA list. See you guys in game.

Tonight's Capture Point

Thu Apr 01 Optimus Prime

Hey people, The capture point tonight may be delayed. If you guys still desire to do one, go ahead. My only request on these, for everyone, keep the numbers even. If you have 3 bots, get 3 cons. You got 4 cons, get 4 bots. I realize DA for right now is not a big MUSH, but let’s try to get the numbers even so it is a land-slide on the teams, alright? If I can get on tonight, we will be running, if not, go ahead and try people, and I'll be on tomorrow (with luck), to run one. Let’s keep the place active! - Prime

Spire of Freedom

Mon Apr 26 Death

The area at the Spire of Freedom is considered a no attack zone for a very good reason, if you attack anyone there, it will power up and zot you one. Please do not fight in this area if you wish to avoid injury. First shot will be warning, of course. That's all.

Do NOT Panic

Mon May 03 Death

Just to reiterate post 9/4, do not panic. Discordia did a move of the clone site over to this site. Basically all +commands like transform, repair, energon harvest, combat, stats, exp, etc are not working. Any characters that were created within the last month will have to be redone. Discordia will clear things up for us all once she is online. So just don't panic. Be patient. And also, be willing to assist as we remake DAOC MUSH.

Big Wiki Update

May 12 2010 Death

http://darkagesofcybertron.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Ages_of_Cybertron_Wiki

Egads, this is what happens when I wait too long. Over 40 log files have been uploaded. The main page has been updated to show the past 3 TP events (see featured article) as well as to show what log files are new. 23 character profiles had their log sections updated. Also, I went through every last story and spell checked everything once more to make sure I didn't miss anything... like capitalizing Autobot or Decepticon for example. Log timeline was updated. Spell checked and updated all news files, all bboards, and all character generation. Redid maps so they are more readable. Logs came from myself, Goa, and also one from Rascal. Expecting a few more logs still, so it may be updated again soon.
