No conclusions for you!

In all seriousness, I don't really think
that we can say she'll be on the side of good, or evil. She
just *At least I assume she has* pretty much violated the body
of one of the 'dead' guys just laying around...If I was forced to make
a descision, I'd say she'd be on her own side. But, hey...I can't
say so with any confidence at all.

THANK you, Rob. Seriously, though, considering she's looking at the entire situation from as rational a position as possible, it's anyone's guess as to which side she'll wind up on (I just hope she picks the Autobots).

First off... I just recently lost my job. The site where I was working ended the contract with the company I work for, and they haven't got a new posting for me yet (I work in Security). This is particularly frustrating, as I had made Supervisor, and was really starting to enjoy some financial security and well-being.

So, I'm out hunting now, and this tends to make me depressed and uncertain. I'm in no danger of selling off any of your beloved characters to pay the bills (It would be like selling my children. The Kidney goes first), and I expect to have a new job soon, but this sort of thing is scary for me. Fortunately 'Warring At Play' is cheap to make and gives me something to fill the hours, but it can be hard to focus on the story when anxiety about the immediate future sets in. 'Warring At Play' unfortunately doesn't pay the bills, and I can't really see how it could seeing as I'm using trademarked figures.

I don't think this'll affect the comic quality at all, and I hope to have a new job soon, but I'd appreciate any positive thoughts you can spare for me in your day.

Hey, don't sweat it man. I'm sure you'll pull through. Just keep at the search for something and you'll eventually land yourself a new job.

Trust me... I totally know what that's like. I work in retail and was with Target for five years and was training to be in management. After the crap year we (everyone just about) had sales wise last year... at the beginning of the year Target cut hours nation wide and my store was only giving their overnight members (yeah, the vital stockers whom make it possible for the store to sell merchandise by putting it out on the floor) only two days a week. Needless to say with a wife, child and another on the way I couldn't live that way (even though my wife is a manager of a Portrait Studio and makes great money)... not to mention support my plastic crack addiction! So, I went searching and, though it took me two months I did finally land a job overnight with Wal-Mart (yes, the evil blue empire) and am now getting 40 hours plus a week (we're freakin' busy at this store!).

So, hang in there man. I know what it's like to wonder how you're going to make ends meet, but you got to keep your head up and, above all else, remain confident. Especially when you go in for those interviews.

As for the comic... loving it, but take your time. Sure it can help you to alleviate some of the stress and take your mind of your worries for a time... but you have more important issues at hand right now and I'm sure everyone here understands that. Do what you can when you can (just remember that if you don't eventually post something there will be torches and pitch forks... especially with the cliffhanger you just left us with!).

All the best dude.

Thank you everyone for your words of support. I'm pretty sure I'll find something fairly quickly (At least I hope, longest it's ever taken me is a month), and I'm certainly not going to sacrifice job search time for comic, but at the same time it's been my experience that I get the best results job hunting if I treat it like a job, and therefore 'work' regular hours (aka 40-60 hours a week) and not try and make every single waking moment about the job hunt.

With that in mind... New Splash Screen for Chapter 3 ^^

(If anyone wants this as a wallpaper or something, I've got it with or without text in OMGTF resolution)

I would like it as a background

and hey don't worry bout a job i know i'm to young to know anything about how hard it is to search a job while ur living on ur own and such but still don't worry it'll be alright

And if searching in security isn't working out ur good at editing and changing images why don't u search a job in that area then
my bro did that and now he's working for the second biggest comic of my country

I may be mistaken, but didn't Megatron sit on a throne built of other dead megatrons? therefore, Mur is only lounging on the throne.

That's exactly what's worrying me...

I still say she's on her own side...

Is Strarf sporting an Autobot insignia on her shoulder?
