She already is, considering Ally Bonne. Anyways, she can't be called Tamashi's mother, since Tamashi was conceived artificially. But we'll see what Dashe says. If she disapproves, I always have a Plan B for Tamashi's origins.

That's not taking bait, Bowen. As a courtesy, you should always lay out an arc before you go playing GM in someone else's RP. Unless Skye and Allison are the same person, Ally Bonne isn't Skye's original character, and she definitely isn't any kid of mine. That was a joke construed from circumstantial evidence. Ally was the Mary Sue of an older member who ended up getting banned from MMLS in 2004 for being hyperactive and spammy, so her existence at all is kind of a forum joke. Skye ended up adopting her as an OC for some reason I cannot begin to fathom. As for me, I definitely disapprove of that origin. If I'm going to be a parent at all, I'm going to be a father, dammit.* *Though honestly, I'm better off just not having any kids.

Not trying to play GM here, just adding a sub-plot. Plus, I felt that the whole "Ally's your daughter" joke fit this situation. Nothing quite like new spins on a tired joke, eh?
Anyways, as for Tamashi, switching to Version B where she spends her days wondering who is the girl from which the other half of her genetic code originates. Also, not trying to make my characters Mary Sues, just unique. Seriously, just how many adopted emotionless silver-haired platinum-eyed genetically-engineered bookworm girls do you see around the internet? I've counted just one. Very unique, nobody quite like her. Besides, it's their distinguishing traits that make OCs interesting, isn't it?
Anyways, we should get back to the story. I'm sure Dashe wants this over with ASAP.

There's not really a nice way to say it. I actually hate OCs, if it's not obvious from my first post in the OC thread.
If I watched more anime, I could probably name a bunch of of characters just like Tamashi. Hell, just cross the trope "Emotionless girl" and "robot girl" and run a Mary Sue Litmus Test on her.
If you need another girl just for completion's sake, try referencing (not controlling!) Fire Griffin. She left a very long time ago and I'm pretty sure she has hair. Just don't actually bring her back and control her, that seems a bit much. >_<
At the very least, I want to get MMLS City to a point where I can just ignore everyone and watch Glee.

Personally, I can tolerate OCs (within reason) to a certain extent. But I always thought of MMLS City to be an RP in which we play with ourselves as ourselves. With the occasional OC making an appearance. In fact, just looking at the first page of the RP itself tells me that. As for the story arc, I can appreciate what you're trying to do, Bowen. But some of the major plot-devices/choices should be left to the other members as well. It kinda feels like you're dictating what's going to happen, or where myself/Dashe are going to go next. Honestly, I feel that the best solution for these kind of things, is to set up a scenario in which your own character is taking place in. If other members find it interesting, or fun, they'll try to join in with their own characters. I'm not saying that you should scrap this 7-Uploid rampage story you've got going (we're too far into it to stop now), but instead, try to be a little less... creative(?) with your posts. Don't take it personally now. I'm just trying to state my opinion.

Got it. Switching plot. I'll try to end this as fast as possible. From here, we could have...
-Bowen "manage" the 7-Uploids into a simultaneous shut-down using the computers back at the mansion, and afterwards Dashe bans him out of rage and orders the mansion to be demolished.
-Bowen restrain #325 (wrestler style) and activate the emergency 7-Uploid self-destruct device within #325, simultaneously destroying all 1000 units, but at the cost of the mansion, MML3 construction site, CokeBot factory, and himself.
-Everyone abandon the mission and leave the 7-Uploids as Bowen's problem.
-Continue the current story, but have everyone decide where and when to encounter the remaining 7-Uploids.
As for Tamashi, her fate will be, respectively...
-Become a statue alongside Bowen in the Museum of the Banned in an attempt to protect her creator from Dashe's hammer.
-Self-destruct along with her brethren at the cost of whatever is caught within a two foot radius of her, in this case a mere thirty-something books in the nonfiction section of the library.
-Get tired of searching for her mother, and drowns herself in the antibacterial tank she grew in.
-Live to wander the city aimlessly.

But I always thought of MMLS City to be an RP in which we play with ourselves as ourselves. I was thinking the same thing when I was reading the first couple pages. That's why my character mirrored the places I went within the site and even explained why he used a title (username) rather than his real one. Hope somebody caught onto that rather than seeming strange.

I vote for 'ban the crap out of Bowen and Tamashi, destroy the mansion after it's too late and #325 or whomever else is out at large has unleashed the remaining 7-Uploids, who are from thereon in non-dangerously but over-emotionally roaming around town for us productive MMLS citizens to blame, bash, and slaughter whenever we need a scapegoat in a pinch.'
And yeah, Greenpow and Music have it spot on about what MMLS City is supposed to be. Playing as ourselves and occasional minor OCs, past MMLSers, and Mega Man characters. We have got to get a serious rein on the OCs. Speaking of OCs, how is it that Chao has FOUR OCs running around but Chao himself doesn't seem to exist? >_> Maybe that can be a plot point.

Okay, Dashe, Bowen's in his mansion, and the 7-Uploids within the City are shut down. Ban away. I honestly wanted him to live through this, and be the local mechanic who builds whatever everyone needs whenever they need it. But since you're the GM, I won't argue with you. It was nice being a part of this community while it lasted.

I said to keep the 7-Uploids running through the city as mooky enemies for us to take out! Don't cop out on making this climactic! Did you not read my last post...again?
The plot was: -Have someone stupid like 325 unleash the 7uploid hoard onto MMLS. Everyone gets to fight them. - You and Tamashi get banned for it
Capice? Now go fix it like a good kid.

You know what? Maybe I don't want my OCs banned. Maybe all I wanted was for Bowen to live a happy life with his perfect daughter. But it looks like he won't be getting that.
The 7-Uploids are running rampant. I gave you what you wanted. I expect my OCs' freedom in return.

That's INCREDIBLY bossy of you to expect their freedom in return. I'm not a big fan of playing the "I'm the Admin" card, but I don't see you with admin privileges here. If anyone's going to be bossy it's going to be me, but only because you asked for it by being so bossy in the first place. A normal MMLS member EXPECTING a specific response from his admin is pretty ballsy, and not in a good way.
Your character turned my character's town into a chaotic mess and completely uprooted nearly every other story in the game. If that isn't grounds for an ingame ban I'm not sure what is. Trying to control your admin in any context isn't smart and will only hurt you.
You have officially lost at MMLS City. Go back to Crossroads and leave this town to deal with the mess you've made or there may be real consequences of the Major Infraction #2 variety. That's the risk you take by weaseling your admin into a story arc she didn't want to get into in the first place. You can be as bossy as you want in Crossroads, since it's yours and all, but you can't be the boss everywhere. That's life.
Lucky for you, though, there is a way out: skipping town. Should you encounter my character along the way, she will ban the living tar out of you and anyone traveling with you, mark my word.

Am I allowed to say, "It's just a game?" =p I'm kind of slighted to say what I think, but...well, here goes. I...don't think Tamashi should be banned. She really didn't do anything. As for the Bowen character, it makes a lot of sense to ban him (no offense, Aero). I mean, he did build the robots that made a total wreck of the city. Tamashi, on the other hand, has done a whole lot of studying. In the library. If this actually happens, Tamashi might leave the city anyway to be with Bowen, but I dunno, really. After all, I don't know much about her. ...how is it that Chao has FOUR OCs running around but Chao himself doesn't seem to exist? >_> Maybe that can be a plot point. Also, this. Thanks for reminding me I can play as myself. Somehow, it completely slipped my mind. =p It's nice to know I can play as someone Dashe won't hate. XD

My bad. IRL stuff had me mad yesterday. Sister being a brat, parents yelling at me over the most trivial things. Kinda threw off how I saw things. Now that I've calmed down, I can see your reasoning, Dashe. I apologize for the insubordination. Bowen seriously deserves it.

Hah, yeah. I probably won't hate you as you unless you do something dumb, Chao. XD Like bring in some insane overpowered weapons capable of leveling chunks of the city or perform AI experiments without the proper authorization. Other characters I don't hate? Anything from the Mega Man Legends canon. Or anything from the Mega Man canon. Or even the Chao. Especially if it's something really trivial that doesn't really steal the show, like Skye's Reaverbot and Mikey's Servbot. A Call of Duty soldier would be seriously pushing it though, and he would have a lot of unauthorized overpowered weapons to drop off at the gate if he wanted to play straight. The only reason IC Dashe would ban Tamashi is because my character is about in the same state of mind the real Bowen was in yesterday. Incredibly stressed, not thinking straight, and with other things on her mind. A guy she's hellbent on banning just told her to find a girl with silver hair and bring her to him unharmed, through what can only be described as a 7-Uploid deluge. She's thinking something incredibly unethical like, "If I run into this girl she is guilty by association and getting banned too!" And Chao's right about banning Tamashi, don't get me wrong. She didn't do anything to deserve it. One of Bowen's plans was to have himself get banned and Tamashi step in front of the banhammer the first time to try and protect him, but I guess since they're in separate places that's probably not going to go down. I liked that plan because Tamashi combines a few of my least favorite character traits and Bowen wanted to make me her mom, pretty much the epitome of godmodding. It seems to me like a failed attempt at RP rape. If someone else finds her before IC Dashe does, then she gets to go on taking up space (or evacuate) until/unless I find her. And yes, I'm still going to go through with climactically ending the 7Uploid seige with a battle royale around the grounds of the RP building. Anything else would be a cop-out. So yes, there are hundreds of 7-Uploids surrounding (and in) Bowen's mansion right now. Anyone who can fight and notices all that noise is more than welcome to grab a weapon and join the fray.
Bowen, get in there and take your ban like a wuss. It'd be more interesting if you tried to weasel your way out of it, and I'll only hold it against you if you succeed in evading it.
