As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
So, one thing that makes SatAM so unique is that it's very different from the game universe. As such, simply plugging in game characters like Amy, Big, and so on wouldn't really gel with the SatAM universe. Not without some serious tweaks, anyway. But I'm curious about the characters people think would fit within the SatAM universe or, given the right amount of tweaks, could make interesting cast additions. I know a lot of people like the idea of Knuckles in SatAM, and I love the way he's been added to Sea3on, so I won't mention him here. However, there are a few that I like to SatAM-ify, so to speak.
Fang the Sniper - or Nack the Weasel, if you prefer. Either way, I think he'd be cool to see because he's one of the anthro Sonic characters who's an antagonist, but isn't a Sonic lookalike either. SatAM has shown that not all Mobians are good guys (see: Nasty Hyenas), but I can see Fang as a loner and hired hand. Probably a nuisance on all sides as well, since he's not the most trustworthy sort. I haven't seen much of him in Archie, since I'm still reading through back issues, but I know that he wields an actual gun in the comics. Naturally, I think that'd fit better than a cork gun in this case as well. Or if not that, at least a laser gun.
Metal Sonic - Actually, I wish one of the robot Sonics was used in Sonic Racer instead of that weird cat thing, but that's beside the point. A robot built to match Sonic would make an interesting plot point, even if the evil double trope is used again and again. Still, it's been proven that Robotnik can build some pretty speedy machines, even if none of them really matched Sonic in the long run. What I think could work is something akin to the Sally robot or Hyper Metal Sonic in the OVA-- using data on Sonic to create a competent robotic replica.
Chaotix - Given the appropriate tweaking, I think they'd make a pretty cool Freedom Fighter group. Obviously, some aspects would need to be toned down, like Charmy's immaturity. Or, heck, go with making him 16 like the comics did. They probably wouldn't work as detectives and would likely need some radical characterization changes, but I like the idea of a group that is made up of non-mammals. That, and I think Vector's awesome.
And that's all I can think of right now. I'm not familiar enough with the other continuities to really give much input on them.
Well, it's been... quite some time since I visited the FUS boards. I'm talking years. Think the last time I posted here was when I was... thirteen? Fourteen? But I digress, hello! I'm once again joining you all as a newbie, so pardon my dust.
Anyway, on the web I go by Mega, and I'm a big SatAM fan. Specifically, I love SatAM's take on Sonic himself, but I love the Freedom Fighters, the setting, and, of course, margarine. Plus the plot's pretty rad. But other than SatAM, I'm a big fan of Disney films like Beauty and the Beast, Don Bluth animation, 90's cartoons in general, RPG games, some anime series, platform games... and animation in general, really.
So, in short, it's good to be back. Looking forward to hanging here again!
