Senior Writers chat 2 -- 02/28/2010 [The first three minutes of the chat is unavailable.] Feb 28 2010, 8:03 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): cool Feb 28 2010, 8:04 PM Rygar: I wanted to have it ready for when Season Five launched, but it took longer to get all the kinks out. Feb 28 2010, 8:05 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): ah. Well it's cool. Nice work. More people need to cme to the site Feb 28 2010, 8:05 PM Rygar: I wish I knew a better way to reach people. I had paid Google text ads for a while, but that got expensive and didn't really seem to increase traffic. Feb 28 2010, 8:06 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah. Feb 28 2010, 8:06 PM Rygar: Madcat, you there? Feb 28 2010, 8:07 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): he might be on the site Feb 28 2010, 8:07 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The chat box on the site doesn't work Feb 28 2010, 8:07 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): it's lke frozen for me Feb 28 2010, 8:07 PM Rygar: Really? I am at the site, and it's working just fine. Feb 28 2010, 8:07 PM Rygar: Hmm. What browser do you use? Feb 28 2010, 8:08 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): I'm on chatroll, Browser Firefox Feb 28 2010, 8:08 PM Madcat2K: sorry was making my dinner Feb 28 2010, 8:08 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): okay lets see if this works Feb 28 2010, 8:09 PM Rygar: I'm also using Firefox. Dunno why the chatroom doesn't work. Oh well. Feb 28 2010, 8:09 PM Rygar: Hey dude, welcome! Feb 28 2010, 8:09 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Okay, I'm at buckyohare.org now Feb 28 2010, 8:09 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Hey Madcat Feb 28 2010, 8:09 PM Madcat2K: lol Feb 28 2010, 8:09 PM Madcat2K: hey dudes Feb 28 2010, 8:09 PM Rygar: What's for dinner? Feb 28 2010, 8:10 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Banner Willy looks bad-ass What the deal? lol Feb 28 2010, 8:10 PM Madcat2K: rice and chicken Feb 28 2010, 8:10 PM Rygar: Hey, we had to give Willy a spine eventually Feb 28 2010, 8:11 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah, but he looks cool now Feb 28 2010, 8:11 PM Rygar: Is this a bad thing? Feb 28 2010, 8:12 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): no absolutely not Feb 28 2010, 8:12 PM Rygar: Feb 28 2010, 8:12 PM Rygar: That will probably be the last tweak to the new site layout. Feb 28 2010, 8:12 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): /me Wowed Feb 28 2010, 8:12 PM Madcat2K: i like how he owned the bully XD Feb 28 2010, 8:12 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Where the hell is Koosh Feb 28 2010, 8:13 PM Madcat2K: about time too Feb 28 2010, 8:13 PM Rygar: Yeah, WS gets credit for an awesome scene with Willy and Doug. Feb 28 2010, 8:13 PM Rygar: Koosh said he'd try to make it. Feb 28 2010, 8:13 PM Rygar: His first full script airs tonight. Feb 28 2010, 8:13 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah, Doug was owned badly. Feb 28 2010, 8:13 PM Madcat2K: yeah he was telling me how exited he was Feb 28 2010, 8:13 PM Madcat2K: yeah Doug had it coming Feb 28 2010, 8:13 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah, he's been posting it on Deviantart that it airs tonight Feb 28 2010, 8:14 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): I wonder it Doug will try something else? Feb 28 2010, 8:14 PM Rygar: He's on the way. Feb 28 2010, 8:14 PM Rygar: Hey Koosh! Feb 28 2010, 8:14 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Ya-da. Feb 28 2010, 8:14 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Hey Koosh Feb 28 2010, 8:14 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Glad you could make it Feb 28 2010, 8:15 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'm here but my posts don't seem to be showing. Feb 28 2010, 8:15 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The glitch ! Feb 28 2010, 8:15 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Go to full screen Koosh Feb 28 2010, 8:15 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Gah. Feb 28 2010, 8:15 PM Rygar: Apparently, some folks are having that problem. Feb 28 2010, 8:15 PM Rygar: We see your posts, Koosh. Feb 28 2010, 8:15 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It isn't refreshing for me. Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM Madcat2K: damn Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I keep needing to manually refresh the page. Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM Rygar: Try going to the external site, maybe? Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'm not even seeing anyone else's posts unless I refresh. Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM Rygar: (link at bottom of the page) Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Hope this works. Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Nope. Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well, sort of. Feb 28 2010, 8:16 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): damn Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Okay I think now it's functioning. Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM Rygar: OK, phew. Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): cool Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM Rygar: This was the best free chat script I could find. Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM Rygar: I spent a while looking. Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM Madcat2K: sweet Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well it's better than nothing. Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Maybe it's a guest glitch? Feb 28 2010, 8:17 PM Kooshmeister (guest): So, yes, I am here, rejoice, for tonight the first script I essentially wrote 90% of comes! Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Bucky is stripping in the first scene Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I had nothing to do with that. Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM Madcat2K: lol Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM Rygar: Wait, that's not the version of the script I posted ... Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM Rygar: Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM Madcat2K: and the other 10 %? Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And the first scene, I thought, was Dr. Polidori in his lab... Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM Rygar: I think (hope?) he was kidding ... Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): He is. Feb 28 2010, 8:18 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yes, of Course Feb 28 2010, 8:19 PM Kooshmeister (guest): He's referencing a picture I drew. Don't ask. Feb 28 2010, 8:19 PM Rygar: I usually fiddle with about 10% of each script, in order to advance plotlines, keep the season integrity in order, etc. Feb 28 2010, 8:19 PM Madcat2K: ahahahha Feb 28 2010, 8:19 PM Rygar: In this one, I think I wrote a small Willy scene, and Fero wrote one scene. Feb 28 2010, 8:19 PM Rygar: WS contributed a few lines as well. Feb 28 2010, 8:19 PM Rygar: But it's Koosh's script. We just added some stuff in the margins. Feb 28 2010, 8:19 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That the thing is even coherent at all after nearly three years' worth of tinkering and editing is amazing. Feb 28 2010, 8:19 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): cool. I'll read it later tonight after ther chat or tomorrow. Feb 28 2010, 8:20 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I hope you all enjoy it. Feb 28 2010, 8:20 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Feb 28 2010, 8:20 PM Rygar: How are you guys enjoying the season so far? Feb 28 2010, 8:21 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Worth the wait Feb 28 2010, 8:21 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): yep. it's good Feb 28 2010, 8:21 PM Madcat2K: diddo Feb 28 2010, 8:21 PM Rygar: I appreciate that. I wish we'd been able to start the season way earlier than we actually did. Feb 28 2010, 8:22 PM Kooshmeister (guest): A late start's better than no start. Feb 28 2010, 8:22 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yes just like homework Feb 28 2010, 8:23 PM Madcat2K: i prefer long timers that way they have time to edit stuff Feb 28 2010, 8:23 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I dunno about THAT comparison, even though, sometimes, writing does feel like a chore. Feb 28 2010, 8:23 PM Rygar: Occasionally, I've felt like S5 is a bit of a chore, but mostly, I'm glad to be writing Bucky stuff again. Feb 28 2010, 8:23 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Damn shame that it is gonna end Feb 28 2010, 8:24 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): but I'll enjoy the ride Feb 28 2010, 8:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'm just glad I'm able to contribute to something. I so often feel like my work is ignored due to it not being connected with something, not so here. Feb 28 2010, 8:24 PM Rygar: We're glad to have you aboard, Koosh! Feb 28 2010, 8:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Thanks. Feb 28 2010, 8:24 PM Rygar: And if it were possible, I'd love to continue the Web Series forever, but it's certainly had a good run. Feb 28 2010, 8:25 PM Madcat2K: true Feb 28 2010, 8:25 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Hopefully they'll try out the Bucky Series again Feb 28 2010, 8:25 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well, if there ever is a season six, I've got nothing but free time. Feb 28 2010, 8:26 PM Madcat2K: lol Feb 28 2010, 8:26 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): And this site will get more traffic Feb 28 2010, 8:26 PM Rygar: I might occasionally post "post-Web Series" scripts by the senior writers. Feb 28 2010, 8:26 PM Rygar: But I don't see a Season Six happening. Feb 28 2010, 8:26 PM Rygar: There is, of course, always the fanfiction page. Feb 28 2010, 8:26 PM Rygar: Ha, it'd be funny if BOH got resurrected just after the Web Series ended. Feb 28 2010, 8:26 PM Kooshmeister (guest): To which I've contributed nothing. Feb 28 2010, 8:27 PM Kooshmeister (guest): The fanfic page I mean. Feb 28 2010, 8:27 PM Rygar: I do wonder what it'd be like to be running the Web Series with a large fan following. Feb 28 2010, 8:27 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): It'd be hell Feb 28 2010, 8:27 PM Rygar: I think back during Season Two, DJ had more people commenting on the scripts. Feb 28 2010, 8:27 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): FANTARDS! Feb 28 2010, 8:27 PM Rygar: Pretty much. Feb 28 2010, 8:27 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I have written Bucky fanfic but I doubt it's the variety allowed on the site. Feb 28 2010, 8:27 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And yeah. Feb 28 2010, 8:28 PM Madcat2K: my fics are kinda dangerous too XD Feb 28 2010, 8:28 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I do remember that back in the day, the Web Series was almost looked upon by fans as being an official sequel. Feb 28 2010, 8:28 PM Madcat2K: yeah Feb 28 2010, 8:28 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Which is one reason I wanted to write for it; it was the closest I figured I'd get to writing for a TV show. Feb 28 2010, 8:29 PM Rygar: I'd say we are as close to an official sequel as we may ever get. Feb 28 2010, 8:29 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yeah. Feb 28 2010, 8:29 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I was commenting the other day that although the number of fans has dwindled, one thing I greatly admire about this fandom is how unified it is. Feb 28 2010, 8:29 PM Rygar: I wish I had a way to dig up all the fans we (theoretically) used to have. Feb 28 2010, 8:29 PM Rygar: That is a good point, Koosh. Feb 28 2010, 8:30 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yep, now if someone will learn flash for webisodes Feb 28 2010, 8:30 PM Kooshmeister (guest): The Web Series provides something for everybody to rally around. Feb 28 2010, 8:30 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): ha. The darker themes were cool Feb 28 2010, 8:31 PM Rygar: Well, it *is* a series about a war. Feb 28 2010, 8:31 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Indeed, it's amusing to me, in a good way, that such a lighthearted and carefree show spawned such a serious and dark sequel. Feb 28 2010, 8:31 PM Rygar: It's kind of odd how far out of its way Continuity went to make it kiddie-friendly. Feb 28 2010, 8:31 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Conversely, the comparatively more violent SWAT Kats' fandom is sanitized quite a bit, from my experience, especially the RPG's. Feb 28 2010, 8:31 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah with Jenny beating the crap out of two toad in the first episode Feb 28 2010, 8:32 PM Kooshmeister (guest): She kicked one on the you-know-whats! Feb 28 2010, 8:32 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): BALLS Feb 28 2010, 8:32 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That toad will never have children. Feb 28 2010, 8:32 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Randomly, did anyone else notice how sometimes the Stormtoads have sharp teeth? I love that. Feb 28 2010, 8:33 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah. Then they'd magically revert back Feb 28 2010, 8:33 PM Madcat2K: lol Feb 28 2010, 8:33 PM Madcat2K: like anime Feb 28 2010, 8:33 PM Rygar: The animation was kind of inconsistent in a lot of the episodes. Feb 28 2010, 8:33 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Ah, the flexibility of cartoons. Feb 28 2010, 8:34 PM Rygar: WS! Feb 28 2010, 8:34 PM Rygar: You made it. Feb 28 2010, 8:34 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yes. The one that I hate is the Lanel. When see was painter orange Feb 28 2010, 8:34 PM WatsonSword (guest): I got back much sooner than expected! Feb 28 2010, 8:34 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): *She* Feb 28 2010, 8:34 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Hey WS Feb 28 2010, 8:35 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Randomly, despite its carefree nature and seeming innocence the show was a bit risque in how some characters dressed. Jenny in particular, and Al may as well be wearing nothing it seems like... Feb 28 2010, 8:35 PM WatsonSword (guest): I literally just walked in the door two minutes ago. Feb 28 2010, 8:35 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And hi Watson. Feb 28 2010, 8:35 PM Rygar: How was the trip? Feb 28 2010, 8:35 PM WatsonSword (guest): Exhausting. Feb 28 2010, 8:35 PM Madcat2K: wb Feb 28 2010, 8:35 PM WatsonSword (guest): But I got all the pics I needed for my geology final. Feb 28 2010, 8:35 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well come in, sit down for a spell. Take your shoes off. Feb 28 2010, 8:36 PM WatsonSword (guest): Already have. Feb 28 2010, 8:36 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh, okay. Feb 28 2010, 8:36 PM Rygar: Well, we officially have more writers than non-writers here Feb 28 2010, 8:36 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Is that good or bad? Feb 28 2010, 8:36 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): BAD Feb 28 2010, 8:37 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Why exactly? And why haven't I been mercilessly bombarded with questions yet? Feb 28 2010, 8:37 PM Rygar: I'm glad I have more people on my side Feb 28 2010, 8:37 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): About the kids show being riske. Mimi was one of those characters too Feb 28 2010, 8:37 PM Rygar: Yeah, guys, any questions about Season Five so far? Feb 28 2010, 8:37 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh definitely. Feb 28 2010, 8:37 PM Kooshmeister (guest): (On Mimi.) Feb 28 2010, 8:38 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): No, none that I can think of. Feb 28 2010, 8:38 PM Madcat2K: yeah what is her social status with bucky? Feb 28 2010, 8:38 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Fling, apparently. Feb 28 2010, 8:38 PM Rygar: Mimi is not terribly happy with Bucky. Feb 28 2010, 8:38 PM Rygar: Yeah, there is no real deeper relationship there. Feb 28 2010, 8:38 PM Rygar: They talked some in "Positioning", the second script of the season. Feb 28 2010, 8:39 PM Rygar: Mimi's also trying to figure out where she wants to go from here, since her relationship with Fritz is also kind of dead. Feb 28 2010, 8:39 PM Kooshmeister (guest): She appears in "Polidori Experiment" for about two or three lines to deliver some exposition, too. Feb 28 2010, 8:39 PM Madcat2K: another good question , how will Willy's new self will affect both his friends and family? Feb 28 2010, 8:40 PM Rygar: Good that you brought that up. It actually reminded me that I need to talk to you, WS, about some Willy stuff. Feb 28 2010, 8:40 PM Rygar: Willy's life is undergoing some changes, both on Earth and in the aniverse. Feb 28 2010, 8:40 PM Rygar: As you've already seen, he's establishing a bit of a life for himself on Earth. Feb 28 2010, 8:40 PM Rygar: And his role within the UAC has changed. Feb 28 2010, 8:40 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yeah, otherwise known as growing up. Feb 28 2010, 8:40 PM Rygar: This is part of him growing up, trying to find himself, and trying to figure out exactly where he fits in. Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM Rygar: He is trying to reach a balance. Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): ha Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM WatsonSword (guest): My internet went down. Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM Rygar: WS, you appear to be here twice ... Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM Rygar: Or not. Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well, the real question is, re: where he fits in, where is he needed more? Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM Rygar: Welcome back-ish. Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): He is hating Bucky a little bit Feb 28 2010, 8:41 PM Rygar: Well, you remember what Bucky did at the end of Season Four. Feb 28 2010, 8:42 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Of course Feb 28 2010, 8:42 PM Rygar: He shot Willy and tried to shoot Mimi, then tried to kill the toad race. Feb 28 2010, 8:42 PM Rygar: This is why they are all so pissed at him. Feb 28 2010, 8:42 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Bucky is being a severe sourpuss who has already crossed more than a few lines and done some ethical no-nos. Feb 28 2010, 8:42 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Or...what Rygar said. Feb 28 2010, 8:43 PM Rygar: Bucky has screwed up his private life a lot, and he's slow in realizing it. Feb 28 2010, 8:43 PM Rygar: But some things will happen soon that will show him just how far he has fallen ... Feb 28 2010, 8:43 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well, to be fair, I never thought he had much of one to begin with, he always seemed "married to his work," at the expense of living a normal life. Feb 28 2010, 8:43 PM Rygar: True, but he still had friends, still had people he could rely and trust. Feb 28 2010, 8:43 PM Madcat2K: also will willy be more involve in the new aldebaran problem? like it or not of all the outsiders he knows to much Feb 28 2010, 8:44 PM Rygar: He has burned bridges with Mimi and Willy, and his bridge with Dogstar is weakening. Feb 28 2010, 8:44 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Not that it's entirely his fault. Penny-pinching Pigton and Harman making his the only frigate for God knows how long had to have placed a LOT of stress on Bucky's shoulders. Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM Rygar: WS, you still there? Want to comment on the Willy Aldebaran question? Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): You guys logging the q &A? Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM Rygar: I am. Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Cool Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM Rygar: I missed the first few minutes again (d'oh), but the text file will be on the site tomorrow. Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM Madcat2K: cool Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): So Cyberstorm is back Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM Rygar: Yep! Feb 28 2010, 8:45 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): He's replacing toad borg Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM Rygar: Heh heh. Funny you should put it that way ... Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM Rygar: We'll see what happens between Cyberstorm and Toadborg. Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Poor Toadborg, once so indispensible. Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM Rygar: But there will be a Cyberstorm-centric script first. Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM Rygar: Fero is finishing up the first draft now. Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): cool Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM Madcat2K: nice Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Brb! Feb 28 2010, 8:46 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Toadborg is basically a smart toaster now Feb 28 2010, 8:47 PM Rygar: He had a lot of fun writing those "lead-in" scripts. Feb 28 2010, 8:47 PM Madcat2K: but will cyberstorm be on the toads side? Feb 28 2010, 8:47 PM Rygar: Yeah, KOMPLEX decided to give "toaster" Toadborg a chance, and it didn't quite work out. Feb 28 2010, 8:47 PM Rygar: So he will have to address that situation ... Feb 28 2010, 8:47 PM Rygar: And Cyberstorm's loyalty is a good question. How much does he remember, and what does he know? Feb 28 2010, 8:47 PM Madcat2K: exactly Feb 28 2010, 8:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Back. Feb 28 2010, 8:48 PM Madcat2K: no toad tv = a toad with reqret Feb 28 2010, 8:48 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yes Feb 28 2010, 8:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh, I definitely plan on exploiting the effects of Toad TV withdrawal on toads... Feb 28 2010, 8:48 PM Rygar: I didn't even think about the fact that Cyberstorm has been without Toad TV for years. Feb 28 2010, 8:48 PM Rygar: I'll make sure Fero addresses it. Feb 28 2010, 8:49 PM Madcat2K: nice Feb 28 2010, 8:49 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Wow, the web series is evolving right now. Feb 28 2010, 8:49 PM Kooshmeister (guest): So do Krug and his guys have access to Toad TV? Feb 28 2010, 8:49 PM Madcat2K: good question Feb 28 2010, 8:49 PM Madcat2K: toadborg was loyal even without toad tv Feb 28 2010, 8:50 PM Madcat2K: but that was because he was supremacist Feb 28 2010, 8:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Toadborg was never your average toad to be begin with. Feb 28 2010, 8:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Even before he got turned into a cyborg. Feb 28 2010, 8:50 PM Rygar: Krug and co. probably have a small receiver down there still picking up the brainwashing signals. Feb 28 2010, 8:50 PM Madcat2K: exactly Feb 28 2010, 8:50 PM Rygar: Yeah, Toadborg would be loyal even if Toad TV didn't exist. Feb 28 2010, 8:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It's funny he keeps discussing the supreme toad race...then turns around and complains about being surrounded by nothing but idiots. Feb 28 2010, 8:50 PM Rygar: He's an optimist. Feb 28 2010, 8:51 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Toadborg hated toad tv Feb 28 2010, 8:51 PM Madcat2K: typical facsist Feb 28 2010, 8:51 PM WatsonSword (guest): I just had to reset my router AND restart my pc. Feb 28 2010, 8:51 PM Madcat2K: damn Feb 28 2010, 8:51 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): You mindless TAD I told you to torture her not bore her Feb 28 2010, 8:51 PM Rygar: You woulda had more luck out with the rocks? ... Feb 28 2010, 8:52 PM WatsonSword (guest): I'm not sure if I'll be very productive here. Hopefully I will. Feb 28 2010, 8:52 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well Krug is just an average Stormtoad, I guess, a fanatic, but due to the indoctrination. I didn't think about it when I decided there ought to be a bunch of those bozos still dug in on Genus (which, finally, isn't a spoiler). Feb 28 2010, 8:52 PM WatsonSword (guest): I mean, if my connection times out again. Feb 28 2010, 8:52 PM Kooshmeister (guest): So how he and his men fare without Toad TV, or how and if they have access to it, should be addressed. Feb 28 2010, 8:52 PM Rygar: WS, someone asked whether Willy would be connected to any of the Aldebaran stuff this season. Feb 28 2010, 8:52 PM Madcat2K: i did Feb 28 2010, 8:52 PM Rygar: Koosh -- I'm OK with there being a small Toad TV receiver down with Krug and co., or something. Feb 28 2010, 8:52 PM WatsonSword (guest): He will toward the end, but not in the beginning or the middle. [One minute of chat is missing.] Feb 28 2010, 8:53 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): GAH THE WRITER CAN"T AGREE! Feb 28 2010, 8:53 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Toads changing psychologically as a result of no Toad TV. Feb 28 2010, 8:54 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah they were once docile Feb 28 2010, 8:54 PM Madcat2K: consumers Feb 28 2010, 8:54 PM Kooshmeister (guest): For the better, or for the worse, it depends on the individual. Feb 28 2010, 8:54 PM Madcat2K: yeah Feb 28 2010, 8:54 PM Rygar: In a future script, we will actually get a small look at what the toad planet was like before KOMPLEX took over. Feb 28 2010, 8:54 PM Madcat2K: nice Feb 28 2010, 8:54 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Like, Krug without Toad TV would turn into a slavering lunatic. Not that he isn't already one. Feb 28 2010, 8:54 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Bout time. Guess it was like Warren with a climatre converter Feb 28 2010, 8:55 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): ..I can't spell Feb 28 2010, 8:55 PM WatsonSword (guest): That reminds me! I had some edits in mind for that script. Not that you need to accept them, but I was just going to submit them. Feb 28 2010, 8:55 PM Kooshmeister (guest): We did see a little of it in the second episode. They had what looked like 20th century cars, oddly. Feb 28 2010, 8:56 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah, what with Willy being able to repair everything in the aniverse Feb 28 2010, 8:56 PM Rygar: WS -- go for it. Send 'em to the list. Feb 28 2010, 8:56 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Willy, he can do anything! Feb 28 2010, 8:56 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Super Nerd! Feb 28 2010, 8:56 PM Rygar: Also, I finished editing your second Aldebaran script. Will e-mail you about it in the next day or two. Feb 28 2010, 8:56 PM WatsonSword (guest): Sweet. Feb 28 2010, 8:56 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah, meaning that he'd be place in the governmnet to make weapons Feb 28 2010, 8:56 PM Rygar: OK, now my posts aren't showing up. Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lawl Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM Rygar: Oop, there that one is. Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM Rygar: Guess the system is a little buggy, Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Depending on additions to upcoming scripts, Rygar, I may need to give my next one a mild overhaul to eliminate extraneous stuff that'll be covered elsewhere. Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM Madcat2K: i wouldnt be surprise if he could build a nuke Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): He could Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM Rygar: We'll figure it all out, Koosh Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): He was making one for the toads Feb 28 2010, 8:57 PM Rygar: We are still a good two months ahead on scripts. Feb 28 2010, 8:58 PM Madcat2K: i like the background Feb 28 2010, 8:58 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): yep it's really detailed Feb 28 2010, 8:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): By the way I hope everyone likes the monsters in this one. And yeah I do, too. The background. Feb 28 2010, 8:58 PM Rygar: WS, you're not logging this script, by any chance? I had to reload and lost a minute of conversation. Feb 28 2010, 8:59 PM WatsonSword (guest): Testing... (Whenever I do this, I'm just checking to see if I'm still connected) Feb 28 2010, 8:59 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Paging Mr. Herman... Feb 28 2010, 8:59 PM Rygar: I will take that as a no. Feb 28 2010, 8:59 PM Rygar: We try to fill in the aniverse's background as much as we can while keeping everything relevant to the current plotlines. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'll log it if you want, even if I have to copy-and-paste the whole thing. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Which I just realized I can't do. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Dangit. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM Rygar: Well, I have to copy-and-paste every 5 minutes or so. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM Rygar: Yeah. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM Rygar: I wish it didn't all scroll off. Oh well. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM WatsonSword (guest): No, I'm not logging. In fact I lost about a minute of chat myself refreshing the page. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Thought I could scroll up and, yeah...no dice. Feb 28 2010, 9:00 PM Rygar: We've still got most of it. Feb 28 2010, 9:01 PM Rygar: How do you guys like the new characters this season? Feb 28 2010, 9:01 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yes especially all my cannon fodder redshirts. Feb 28 2010, 9:01 PM Madcat2K: haahaha Feb 28 2010, 9:01 PM Madcat2K: yeah i like them Feb 28 2010, 9:02 PM Kooshmeister (guest): ...why I insist on giving every character a name I do not know. In one draft of this script, the pilots at the beginning had names (Pat and Mike). Feb 28 2010, 9:02 PM Rygar: Seeing as how I do autopsies for a living, I'm glad the character who does the autopsy survived ... Feb 28 2010, 9:02 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Dr. Harmon you mean? Feb 28 2010, 9:02 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Feb 28 2010, 9:03 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): No spoilers yet Feb 28 2010, 9:03 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I expected you'd read along as we chatted, but, blah. Feb 28 2010, 9:03 PM Rygar: Ah, sorry, sonicheroes. Feb 28 2010, 9:03 PM Rygar: Very very minor spoiler. Shouldn't actually affect much. Feb 28 2010, 9:03 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): it's okay. Feb 28 2010, 9:03 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): ha Feb 28 2010, 9:04 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): I can really read and use text chat Feb 28 2010, 9:04 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): can't Feb 28 2010, 9:04 PM Madcat2K: lol Feb 28 2010, 9:04 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Returning to being vague in my commentary, I hope a certain new character introduced here, and the suggestion that his appearance creates, goes over well. Feb 28 2010, 9:05 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I just hope I wasn't so subtle nobody will get it. Feb 28 2010, 9:05 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Even if they don't, it's no biggie. It'll get very un-subtle later. Feb 28 2010, 9:05 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The guy who I said will die? Feb 28 2010, 9:05 PM WatsonSword (guest): I have no idea what you're talking about. Feb 28 2010, 9:06 PM Rygar: That's what happens when we're trying to be vague! Feb 28 2010, 9:06 PM Kooshmeister (guest): The guy Renfield is talking to at the beginning, or close to it. Feb 28 2010, 9:06 PM WatsonSword (guest): You could've just sent that to me as a private message you know. Feb 28 2010, 9:06 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well I was still being vague wasn't I? Feb 28 2010, 9:07 PM Rygar: Apparently, the private messaging system on this thing costs money. Feb 28 2010, 9:07 PM Rygar: I just learned this. Feb 28 2010, 9:07 PM WatsonSword (guest): WTF! Feb 28 2010, 9:07 PM Rygar: Oh well. Feb 28 2010, 9:07 PM Rygar: At least e-mail is still free. Feb 28 2010, 9:07 PM Rygar: This was the best free chat software I could find. I looked for a while. Feb 28 2010, 9:07 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Anyway I figured I was still being vague enough. Feb 28 2010, 9:08 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It's not like I screamed Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father or anything. Feb 28 2010, 9:08 PM WatsonSword (guest): So... Madcat and Sonic... anything? Anything at all? Feb 28 2010, 9:08 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Let's see Feb 28 2010, 9:08 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): GIANT ENEMY CRAB!!! Feb 28 2010, 9:09 PM WatsonSword (guest): You know, I wonder just how many people got that. Feb 28 2010, 9:09 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Willy, no Feb 28 2010, 9:09 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Why can't it be a Giant Friendly Crab? Feb 28 2010, 9:09 PM Rygar: I admit, the Giant Enemy Crab meme had somehow passed me by. Feb 28 2010, 9:09 PM Rygar: I got all the other meme references, though. Feb 28 2010, 9:09 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Cause then there would be no CRAB BATTLE! Feb 28 2010, 9:09 PM WatsonSword (guest): There's actually far more jokes in that script than I'm sure anyone who read it got. Feb 28 2010, 9:10 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Memes typically go over my head. Feb 28 2010, 9:10 PM WatsonSword (guest): Except Ryger, because I pointed them all out to him. Feb 28 2010, 9:10 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Pirate versus ninjas Feb 28 2010, 9:10 PM Rygar: I think I worked in one additional Chuck Norris joke. Don't recall for certain. Feb 28 2010, 9:10 PM Madcat2K: sorry im reading the new script Feb 28 2010, 9:10 PM Kooshmeister (guest): If Chuck Norris were in the Aniverse, the toads would be soundly trounced. Feb 28 2010, 9:10 PM WatsonSword (guest): KAMO: It will be just like a roundhouse kick to the face! Feb 28 2010, 9:10 PM Rygar: That was it. Feb 28 2010, 9:11 PM Rygar: More a reference than an actual Norris-ism. Feb 28 2010, 9:11 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): yes. It could be a Roadhouse reference Feb 28 2010, 9:11 PM WatsonSword (guest): But for all of you, would you like me to point out all the jokes now? Feb 28 2010, 9:11 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I inject references galore into mine although I use them in a way that I doubt anyone gets them (usually character names), and besides I typically pick obscure stuff. Feb 28 2010, 9:11 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And, sure. Feb 28 2010, 9:11 PM Rygar: Go for it, WS. Feb 28 2010, 9:12 PM WatsonSword (guest): Veruca Darling sells Diaphoresium to make toads sucrete slime. Diaphoresis is medically induced sweating. Feb 28 2010, 9:13 PM WatsonSword (guest): Baka Oshiri literally translates as "Dumbass". Feb 28 2010, 9:14 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That I knew. Feb 28 2010, 9:14 PM WatsonSword (guest): The Gag of Kamo hitting Oshiri with a paper fan is actually part of the Japanese equivalent of the classic straight lace and wacko comedy duo. Feb 28 2010, 9:14 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): yeah. ha Feb 28 2010, 9:14 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That's pretty obscure. Then again I'm not terribly big into Japanese culture. Feb 28 2010, 9:15 PM WatsonSword (guest): Well... Kamikaze Kamo literally translates as "suicide duck". Feb 28 2010, 9:15 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And his name has like four different "official" spellings depending on what you're looking at. Feb 28 2010, 9:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Seen it "Kamakazee" Kamo somewhere, in Counterattack I think. Feb 28 2010, 9:16 PM WatsonSword (guest): That's all I can think of at the moment. Feb 28 2010, 9:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And I thought kamikaze meant divine wind. Feb 28 2010, 9:17 PM Rygar: Then there were the memes. Feb 28 2010, 9:17 PM WatsonSword (guest): Well... "Kamikaze Duck" if you prefer. Feb 28 2010, 9:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): They may as well have named him "Generic Japanese Name Ninja Guy." XD Feb 28 2010, 9:18 PM WatsonSword (guest): Powree!!! Feb 28 2010, 9:18 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Hey powree! Feb 28 2010, 9:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Not that "Sly Leezard" is any better. Feb 28 2010, 9:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Hi Pow! Feb 28 2010, 9:19 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Hate Sly Feb 28 2010, 9:19 PM WatsonSword (guest): We now got the readers outnumbered two to one. Feb 28 2010, 9:19 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): :l Feb 28 2010, 9:20 PM powree: heya guys. got problems connecting, hehe Feb 28 2010, 9:20 PM Kooshmeister (guest): You got here and that's what's important. Feb 28 2010, 9:20 PM powree: the more the merrier Feb 28 2010, 9:20 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): CHAT ROLL!" Feb 28 2010, 9:21 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): shakes fist Feb 28 2010, 9:21 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Never gonna give you up, never gonna--oh ait, CHAT roll, not RICK roll... Feb 28 2010, 9:21 PM Rygar: Hey Pow! Feb 28 2010, 9:22 PM Kooshmeister (guest): *Toads get Rickrolled.* "Air Marshall, sir, why are the mammals showing us the dancing hairless baboon in a bad 80's sport coat...?" Feb 28 2010, 9:22 PM Rygar: So, first of all, Pow -- great job on the new site artwork! Feb 28 2010, 9:22 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The toads would love watching it Feb 28 2010, 9:22 PM powree: after some er, months I can finally rest hahhaa Feb 28 2010, 9:22 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Frix and Frax become mesmerized by Rick Astley's dancing! Feb 28 2010, 9:23 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yes great work on the site, Pow Feb 28 2010, 9:23 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh indeed. Your artstyle suits the characters perfectly. Feb 28 2010, 9:24 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): It reminds me of the comic artwork Feb 28 2010, 9:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Minus the scary giant eyes. Feb 28 2010, 9:24 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yes Feb 28 2010, 9:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And kudos for adding Frix's big purple rocket launcher. Feb 28 2010, 9:25 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The color mostly is like the comic Feb 28 2010, 9:25 PM WatsonSword (guest): Oh, just to let you know Ryger. I won't be able to do any writing or editing until the fifteenth. But after that, I'll be able to do quite a bit. Feb 28 2010, 9:25 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Nice to see one of those two packing some serious heat for a change. Feb 28 2010, 9:25 PM Rygar: That's fine, WS. I had no real changes to your next script. Feb 28 2010, 9:25 PM Rygar: Just a question, and a discussion point. They can wait. Feb 28 2010, 9:25 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And furthermore, the addition of Tri-Bot and the Guardroid is brilliant, too. Feb 28 2010, 9:26 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Also the Newt Feb 28 2010, 9:26 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh! I just noticed him on the Guardroid's head. Feb 28 2010, 9:26 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah that was cool Feb 28 2010, 9:26 PM Rygar: Newton was a late addition. Feb 28 2010, 9:27 PM Rygar: I actually haven't asked you, Pow -- how are you liking the season? Feb 28 2010, 9:27 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Al's eyes and teeth aren't green though, but I guess that was a design decision. I confess the green teeth do look odd. Feb 28 2010, 9:27 PM powree: Yeah. I reckon why not add new characters, especially since there's so many in the counterattack book Feb 28 2010, 9:27 PM powree: hehehe, that'll be my fault, koosh Feb 28 2010, 9:27 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): I like the Toad Air Marshal. HHe's pretty awesome looking. Good work pow Feb 28 2010, 9:27 PM Rygar: Al's teeth and eyes look white to me ... Feb 28 2010, 9:28 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I meant in the show, they're green. Feb 28 2010, 9:28 PM Rygar: Oh. Ha, OK. Feb 28 2010, 9:29 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Welcome back WS Feb 28 2010, 9:29 PM Rygar: Pow, you have earned yourself a long rest before I crack the whip and have you do more bios page art Feb 28 2010, 9:29 PM powree: who,what? Feb 28 2010, 9:29 PM powree: *pretends to not read* Feb 28 2010, 9:29 PM Rygar: You can't fool me! Feb 28 2010, 9:29 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yeah, Professor Glutgrave and Sergeant Krug need some representation...well, Krug does anyway, provided he has enough appearances. I already doodled Glutgrave. Feb 28 2010, 9:30 PM Rygar: Koosh, you are welcome to do art for them. Feb 28 2010, 9:30 PM Rygar: I probably won't get the Season Five characters added until the season is over. Feb 28 2010, 9:30 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Ah, awesome, 'cause I did everyone from O'Day to POlidori. XD Feb 28 2010, 9:30 PM Rygar: It took me ages to add all the stuff that happened in Season Four. Feb 28 2010, 9:30 PM powree: Yes, very recommended, Koosh *cough* Feb 28 2010, 9:31 PM Rygar: Pow, how long on average would it take you to do bio art for one character? Feb 28 2010, 9:31 PM WatsonSword (guest): You know Powree, I'm REALLY sorry to do this to you, but the Aldebaran conclusion will introduce the most new characters. Feb 28 2010, 9:31 PM WatsonSword (guest): With the balancing act of killing the most old ones. Feb 28 2010, 9:31 PM Rygar: Well, after S5, we have all the time in the world ... Feb 28 2010, 9:31 PM powree: damn, I should've sign in anonymously Feb 28 2010, 9:31 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Watson you're merciless. Feb 28 2010, 9:32 PM WatsonSword (guest): Well, there's one so far, and there's oing to be three more. Feb 28 2010, 9:32 PM WatsonSword (guest): going, not oing. Feb 28 2010, 9:33 PM powree: Well, it would help if you give me separate character descriptions, so I dont have to hunt their descriptions in the script Feb 28 2010, 9:33 PM Rygar: Always. Any time you need them. Feb 28 2010, 9:34 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I tend to draw most of the characters I introduce as it helps me visualize them and thus write them better. Feb 28 2010, 9:34 PM powree: I could probably do 1 per week Feb 28 2010, 9:34 PM powree: Go, koosh! Help me! lol Feb 28 2010, 9:34 PM Rygar: OK. I'd like to get some more done sometime, once you're in the mood. I am sure you are a little burned out on BOH right now. Feb 28 2010, 9:35 PM Madcat2K: im back so far i like it Feb 28 2010, 9:35 PM WatsonSword (guest): Same here. Though one of those characters is going to be a bitch to draw. Feb 28 2010, 9:35 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well as I said most of them are drawn already, including all the minor characters in "Polidori." Feb 28 2010, 9:35 PM Rygar: Awesome, Madcat. Glad you enjoy! Feb 28 2010, 9:35 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And so am I. Feb 28 2010, 9:35 PM Madcat2K: making characters is easy drawing them is hard XD Feb 28 2010, 9:36 PM Madcat2K: yesterday i was trying to make that shark girl i talk about with koosh i ended up descrbing her to koosh XD Feb 28 2010, 9:36 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh yeah I remember that. Feb 28 2010, 9:36 PM Madcat2K: lol Feb 28 2010, 9:37 PM Rygar: OK, I need to head out soon. Any final questions for me? Feb 28 2010, 9:38 PM Kooshmeister (guest): One thing I do is a tendency to give male characters hair which parts from the established design aesthetic of the series. Renfield, for example, has brown hair in addition to his green fur. Feb 28 2010, 9:38 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Annnnd none I can think of. None I can broach here anyway. Feb 28 2010, 9:38 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): hmm Feb 28 2010, 9:39 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): need to refresh damn Feb 28 2010, 9:39 PM Madcat2K: sorry i cant think of any question u_u Feb 28 2010, 9:40 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well that usually means we're doing our jobs as writers.
