So, if anything, these last few days on the Link have proven one thing; the stupid acolytes are not doing their job. Sure, they give a basic rundown of the Lambda but many people are still shocked when their glyph changes. They're shocked to learn that the First Forged are totally creepy and somehow watch our every move then give us weird boons or whatever based on how amusing they think our shenanigans are.

I'm thinking something like Bulkhead's post. A simple FAQ detailing everything people who are new won't think to ask when they first arrive.

Throw all your stupid questions at me, I'll put them in with an answer. Break the news to them that they're stuck here gently! Hell, we should probably start making sure each altar has a good supply of high grade for when they show up.

Nothing like taking bad news with a fragload of alcohol, right?

We need to talk.

[How odd that he's using text. Blurr will do that as well, if only to be polite.]

It's nice of you to help others during this confusing time, Sentinel. [Blurr's going to ignore Sentinel calling their legitimate questions 'stupid' for the sake of everyone involved'.]

Yes? Is everything alright?

[primest]

[he has HANDS again ok he will use them as much as possible waggles eyebrows]

Why is that surprising?

That annoying spider bot attacked me for no reason a few weeks ago.
She was probably the one that broke into my room as well because she seems to hate me for no reason.

[raceme]

[Having hands at least is a good thing! Oh MY のωの]

Is that a trick question?

Spider bot...Blackarachnia? What did she do? Do you have some proofs? The word of an agent of the law is a serious thing but having something else to substaint your arguments would be even better.

[She likes BA but the law is the law and attacking someone is out of the question. Blurr got his lawbot mode activated.]

[primest]

No.

She used the same paralysis agent.
Unless we have more than one spiderbot capable of doing that.

text since that's what the original post is

They're not watching our every move. Even the First-Forged don't fully understand how the Glyphs work, why they change, or how we become bonded to more than one of them.

Re: text

[primest]

That's creepy. This entire situation is creepy.
Still, they should know if their idiot questions don't have answers.
It would get updated with new things and if answers ever happened.
Or we could just explain the stuff we don't know with "Unicron magic, don't question it just accept it."

[he is already not taking this very seriously.]

Sounds like you're off to a good start with this thing.

[Can you hear the sarcasm through the text? Because so much sarcasm, wow. Or, hell, maybe he means it. Yeah, not so much.]

Re: Text

[primest]

Yeah, good job what I'm actually putting in it won't be sarcastic trash.

[they can sarcasm at each other! he's honestly amazed at how much goes over people's heads.]

I think some kind of guide is a great idea, Sentinel. My main suggestion would be to have more than one person work on it. For variety of knowledge and viewpoints.

[Not to mention language. He's not sure he trusts your ability to word things..."professionally" - neutrally, with a civil tone.]

Re: Text

[primest]

[he can do neutral! civil? not so much.]

I can do it myself.
We don't need a "variety", we need fact. Not theories.

Text

[thankyou4myheart]

I'm not talking theories.  I'm talking experience.  There are people who have been here much longer than you have.  I think the guide would benefit from their input.

  [Why does dealing with you always give him a headache?  …he's a robot, he's not even supposed to be /able/ to get headaches.]

Re: Text

[primest]

Time here is completely irrelevant.
If someone who arrived a week ago knows why glyphs change, then it's just as valid as someone who's been here for years.

[never mind that they were probably told by a veteran in the first place... he's being deliberately obtuse.]

[neverputincharge]

While I'm glad you apparently liked what I did. I think an FAQ should be done by more than one person. You haven't been here that long.

Re: text

[primest]

"Liked" is a bit of a stretch.
Time here is irrelevant.
Yes, though, I was going to make sure I had multiple sources of input.

text

[neverputincharge]

Coming from you? Close enough.
It's relevent considering some of ushas/ seenand done more than others.
Good, who?

Re: text

[primest]

I'm flattered.
I'm writing a FAQ, not a history book.
People who can confirm the information. Maybe log how the glyphs change? Though, that's something different all together.

[treacherous_widow]

Well look at that. You're actually being helpful. So who crossed your circuits. I might want to buy them a drink.

[he has to stick to text so it doesn't just turn into incoherent swearing at her.]

Maybe you knocked something when you attacked me.
Try not to make any long term plans.

[So the moron has some form of restraint. Color her surprised.]

I was defending myself from a moron stomping around while he was high on green energon.

[That's her story and she's sticking to it. Besides, she's not worried about the future. Blackarachnia's confidant she can handle anything he throws her way.]

Oh yeah? Got something rattling around that empty head of yours or are you just trying to scare a bot smaller than you.

[primest]

I made sure there was no-one around before I did anything. It's not my problem you were hiding.
Well, gee, what do people usually do when they've been assaulted? Twice?
You're not worth the time or effort to try and "scare".

[heartdive]

I just kinda wanted to know the colors and stuff. Can't say I know much about each Forged person as a thing either.

text

[primest]

Yes, that's why I wanted to do this.
So you'd know the colours in addition to each First Forged and their basic roles.
Assuming there is some sort of reason why why we're given certain glyphs.

[heartdive]

I think Blurr tried to tell me once... But in a very Blurr way.

[ meaning massive info dump. ]

[Pfffff, like Jetstorm has time for text.

Besides you're not supposed to text while driving right? Flying is close enough isn't it?]

Ah! Making the answerings to all the newbot's questions is most smart, Mister Sentinel Prime Sir!

I'm prone to having good ideas.
How're you settling in? I haven't seen you around recently.
