The first season of this new series has now been completed without counting the individual epilogue's of the characters. The appropriate action for me to take after things are said and done is to gather the opinions of those that have seen what we've done; I'm asking you to give your thoughts on what you've read over the past year. I'm not asking you to give a rating - a rating similar to a five-star rating (you can make the choice of doing that) - or to praise/hate what has been written. All I would like for the interested parties is feedback that can give me an idea of what is right and what is wrong so that anything that's pleasing can be continued and what is not can be squashed.
Be conscious of my monitoring of this thread. Know that hate messages will not be tolerated. We are an intelligent community that knows the difference between constructive criticism and hate mail, and anyone that was shown a glimpse of what I can do knows that I don't put up with it; thus, if I see any derogatory or defaming posts of any kind, I will delete the post, and the poster will receive the appropriate treatment.
**I will place an amount of $500 in this thread that will increase by that exact number each time someone posts in this thread. The total amount will be given to all posters (you obviously will not get anything if I remove you).**

I gave it 4/5 stars. The plot was good, but a few of the characters could've developed better. I know with some people dropping and leaving it became hard to do, but even so, the supporting characters' back stories could have played out more.
Also, there could have been less of the summarization of a person's post in the responding post by another character. A recounting of the action directly above it is not very necessary in a one on one brawl (though in a multiple person brawl this would be somewhat useful in certain situations).

Let's move some basics out of the way first.
This is my first serious online plot with people I don't know, so it was a good first experience and my subjective opinion is very positive at how the plot developed. Events that happened in the plot, the way dots get connected and the bosses are on point. As for learning, this plot had taught me many things about what I should do in my own future plots regardless if connected to Bakugan or not; taught me that preparation is essence of every good plot. Using real-life experiences and events that happen in the world to form a plot is one of my favorite and most supported ways on how to make and do a plot.
I was quite dissatisfied with the way some people acted inside the plot. First fail of them all was Markus Hederick whose character was completely directed into a dead end with no much ambitions. And then the real owner just left and when he came back temporarily he said he didn't find it fun anymore (even though he did like 1/4 of one episode) and he left again after giving the password. As for Makoto Nakashima account password was immediately given because real owner had issues in the real life and that is fine by me since he was a responsible person.
Now, let me bring up an analysis of every character in the plot.
Noland Hardy: Nothing new or unusual to see here. It is a pretty similar character to almost any main character in anime; fights for justice, fights against evil, but can be pretty antagonistic himself because of different reasons. Still, I have no complaints. [Rate: 4/5]
Allen Silva: This type of character can be seen in a lot of anime; plays a role of main character's best friend and a rival. This is a very typical character, but it is not something that is bad. Still, it could have been better with him considering he did not get that much spotlight in here. [Rate: 3/5]
Alana Cortese: This character would have been very bad if it didn't appear with some kind of unexpected surprise. Honestly speaking, I would be fairly pissed if after all that development from episode 27 and further went without appearance of Alana Cortese. It was too expected something unusual considering this profile stood without posting for a long time. [Rate: 5/5]
Tank Stryker: This character is the one I definitely want to see in Season 2 and have my hopes up for that. Combination of something you see in many American movies and something very original. A lot of effort has been put into this character. [Rate: 5/5]
Tracy White: I want to say a lot of things similar to ones of Markus. Even though a lot of things happen for Tracy in this plot she somehow remains on Markus's level; side-character with a lot of potential that was not revealed and with a lot of spotlight taken by other characters. I have no particular liking for this character since she did not leave any kind of a big memory for me; she left nothing too important to remember. I am not against putting her inside Season 2, but with hope her character develops a bit more. [Rate: 2/5]
Markus Hederick: Nope. [Rate: 1/5] I said what I had to.
Seiki Maki: Similar to what I said about Tank Stryker, this character is a combination of different good things I usually see in anime, but there is a lot of originality as well. Hope this character can be seen in Season 2 as well. [Rate: 5/5]
Karen Valentine: This is a very good example of those 'bitchy' characters you can see in teen American movies. She wants one thing in one moment, then something contradictory to that, then back to first and she spins in the circle. Of course, I believe this character was created exactly for that kind of purpose; to bring that kind of atmosphere inside the plot and make it a little bit more...dramatic and tense. [Rate: 5/5]
Daniel Andersen: (Yes, I am analyzing it) My character went through as planned with only a few meaningless complications. This character was designed years ago and it was supposed to be a completely unpredictable character whose phase of development went from a normal little kid to a monster controlled by inhuman tactics. Personally, I think I was a little late with telling Noland my original plan, so it ended up a bit unfinished which shall be fixed in my side-plot.
Akane Huomoto: Except for Seiki, this is second Shira's character in here. This character is nothing more different in terms of creativity and originality than Seiki, but is out of the spotlight in this terrorist role. That is the one and only reason for this rate. [Rate: 4/5]
Makoto Nakashima: This is a very complicated thing to talk about. At first I liked Makoto because original owner started off very well and was quite original. Later, this account was in temporary possession of someone else who had personal issues just like original owner. It is currently used by me, but if chance comes for original owner to use it again it would be perfect since this character has a lot of potential that hasn't been revealed yet. [Rate: 3/5]
Nero Bullock: We could say he was a typical villain we can see in many anime. A person of high intellect working behind government's back in shadows; he believes what he is doing is right even though his intentions and plans are no different than evil. Anime show us a lot of 'doctors' acting in same manner, so we could compare it to that. Still, I think this is an appropriate villain for starters to introduce something of much greater evil. [Rate: 5/5]
Pack: Things we see in lots of anime. Some kind of a twisted monster that lurks behind every corner and uses humans for his own dark intentions. Well, you got nuked, Pack.
I will give it 4,2/5. Believe me, if your creativity was the only thing included it would be much higher, but with all the complications and things we went through I think it is a fair rating. From now on I hope you will use the password-rule since that is the most essential thing.
