We're going back to the Second War, somewhat before Scorponok and Fortress Maximus's crews left Cybertron. Straxus is the main Decepticon leader, and Sentinel Prime is the main Autobot leader, but I'd like to encourage people to form subfactions and engage in some maneuvering and politicking, if they'd like. So for example, Impactor could have a crew of more warlike Autobots who like to play it rougher than Sentinel Prime's boys, and Fortress Maximus might have a more peaceful team (or not, considering some of the Autobot *masters). Shockwave might have a more thoughtful, scientific-oriented team than Straxus's core forces. Subfactions of the main factions might not all get along, and for example, one of Straxus's troops might not be welcome on another subfaction's base. To really get the whole faction together as a whole to accomplish an objective, diplomacy and concessions might be required. Straxus's powerbase is Darkmount, in Polyhex, and Sentinel Prime's powerbase is in Iacon, on the Iacon Plain. Other open cities that might be good bases for subfactions are Ibex, a scientific-oriented Decepticon city, Agoraplex, a Decepticon city strategically located near Iacon, Killarn, an Autobot city with neutral and pacifistic leanings, and Retoris, an underground city near Iacon, a great place for drills to live. If you want to lead a subfaction or have a particular city as your base, @mail me, for book-keeping purposes, so we don't end up with two different subfactions who hate each other in the same city. If you just want to be in a subfaction, just go for it. So, for example, if Shockwave wanted to lead a subfaction out of Ibex, he should give me a head's up, but if Misfire wants to be Shockwave's soldier, Misfire can just go for it. Like with the Mirror plot, the past will have its own grid, and you'll be able to flip between the normal grid and the past grid. It'll have a board and channels, also. It will run from December 12th (more like December 13th, but the last scene of the current plot will open the past plot) to December 31st. Some of the things set up in the past plot will lead in to later plots in the new year! For those who aren't into the past or time travel, we do have a lot of other interesting activities going on. The Autobots are up to a flurry of building - talk to Jetfire, Crosscheck, or Impactor, if you're interested. Onslaught is running Non Compos Mentis. Boomslang is still up to no good in Senegal. The Sage still needs to be questioned. There is fallout from the Decepticons' strike on Cambria. And I am probably forgetting things!
