Strategy Question, and a few minor ones.

[Teutonic Crusader (TC) Sari]

Good day,

I'm coming close to the point of being ready to submit an app, but there are a few areas I am already sure that I'm going to need some assistance with from my own lack of knowledge, and obsessions with making things 'make sense'. 

I have a few matters that might be difficult to ask without giving admin a chance to read what I have, to know what I'm talking about with the question and/or may require a bit more explanation as to what the end goals are.  Would it be alright/better to add a note at the end of the submission drawing admin's attention to what I'm needing help on, or to otherwise reach out?  To give a better idea of the kind of issue, one is trying to balance weaponry systems to take into account original intended function, practicality, canon standards, and game balance. 


Also, I have a couple of easier questions that I'll go ahead and ask, so I can get it right the first time, without possibly needing to be told to correct it later. 

• Cold Construction question: 
  
  I saw this referenced onsite.  I wasn't sure if it worked under the same premise as Constructed Cold as referenced in Wiki (under the IDW continuity) .  If I'm remembering right, I read there, the sparks were stored and later put into the constructed frames, but also that the practice became controversial and they shut it down at some point when Zeta Prime was still around. 
  
  I was wondering, for the site, up to what point in the historical timeline could an individual have been brought online via this method? 
  
  
• Is it reasonable to assume that Shockwave's involvement in the attack on Vos would be known?
  
  Again, I'm going a bit off Wiki, so maybe this question is silly.  I'm not clear on if even the Decepticon involvement is widely know, or if only direct survivors were aware. Furthermore, I'm not sure who, if anyone, knew of Shockwave's involvement.  

I'm sure I'm getting way to caught up in the history aspect of the character app, but either way your assistance in this area is greatly appreciated.

Hey there!

Thanks for taking the time to ask this here! Let me see about answering it all for you.

1) Absolutely feel free to send that question in with your application. We will always help with a situation you are struggling a bit with, and it is easier for everyone if it is all in one space for us to read and respond to. That way there's less back and forth.

Constructed cold does work the same way, yes. As for our timeline, it would really depend on the app and how it is written. Some sparks likely remain stored away.

As for Shockwave, let me do a quick consult with the other admins and get back to you.

Looking forward to reading your application!

Just going to tack onto Feldspar's reply here with a quick response to the question about Shockwave-

After some discussion, the Admins have come to the conclusion that because the attack in question was listed as a 'Mysterious missile strike' (bottom of that page under Aligned Novels) it probably isn't well known who was specifically behind it, and most would probably assume Tarn had something to do with it given the rivalry between the two city states. However though, in saying that, we are fine with characters having their suspicions who was really behind it, and think some may have heard a thing here or there via rumors or other gossip. So it's completely up to you and your character's involvement really- could make for some interesting RP, that's for sure!

Thank you Feldspar and Ren for your responses. 

I'll try to keep my questions that are incoming with the app concise.  I'm doing a bit of clean up on it now.  

Also, I appreciate the help with the Shockwave. I missed that bit of information, and it occurred to me as I thought more about the history I did know, that it actually made more sense if it weren't widely know.  Now I can plan according to what makes sense for the character.


Thanks again, and I look forward to reaching out to you guys again soon.
