Dead End joining the Autobots, for instance. Canonically, there has never been a broken gestalt. Splitting across a major factional divide like this should have resulted in quite a bit of response from the other Stunticons.
Well, yeah. Admittedly speaking as an outsider, that does sound like a huge character development/plot opportunity gone to waste.
My apologies if the storylines that I ran with my characters caused you some degree of frustration. I'd hoped in time to reveal the motivations and such, and really had no clue that what I was doing was causing that much of a problem. I feel bad about that.
The Blogs really just started off as people being goofy for the sake of having fun. Somewhere along the way it changed, and I can't really say I'm crazy about what it's become. The mere fact that it's strayed away from being a source of fun to a source of frustration is upsetting.
To be utterly fair, I did not start getting seriously frustrated with the whole deal with Sixshot and Seether until after it was revealed that Seether was the Fallen. I understand that the IC priority at that time would have been to stop Seether, but a) the method in which it was revealed felt like a plot contrivance rather than a continuation of everything that had come before, and b) Sixshot and the others did not even think about asking the other Decepticons for aid. For something as huge and terrible as the Fallen, given that the TFBlogs characters even know who he is, I would have expected an alliance of powers to prevent whatever his scheme is

"Never assume malice for what stupidity can explain."
That's a good saying. I like it.
On the other hand, the game-style could be rather frustrating when things slowed down.
That's... part of the reason I tend not to play on things like those, or ezBoards. A lifetime of realtime gaming has made me too impatient to deal with a single conversation that takes weeks.
Another is the apparent lack of limitations. If a game has more than, oh, zero Metalliko (sp) OCs, I raise an eyebrow, as Bludgeon is supposed to be the only one. I was on a board that had five (which is probably why I gag now if I see even just one). Of course, the same board had admin that saw no problems with editing player posts without asking permission of the player or even stating what they changed, so maybe the admin figured they could just rewrite whatever they wanted so power gaming hadn't happened. :P
(Uhm, yeah. I didn't stay there long.)
The combat RP left something to be desired, but I gather this often the case when you're narrating everything. I'm rather

We went through that fast and did a lot of fun, dark roleplaying

I guess this was an example of where no one really stated what his or her expectatione were, and everyone went in expecting something different, and so everyone got upset when it didn't turn out how he or she wanted.

Glad you had fun while you did.

Yup! And, unless I'm mistaken, Fleet has to arrange a fight with Reflector...

Though I'll probably have Blitzwing on for the opening ceremonies. IC time heals all wounds, and he's still low from the tangle with Catechism.
