on the time question one second of earth time is equal to one "day" in mainframe. Take the episode where Dot almost marries megabyte. She says to her nullified father "this is the happiest second of my life" as she walks down the aisle to bob (megabyte in disguise). This looks to be the most promising remake of reboot if it done right. Keep up the good work.
You can't shut up Megabyte. That's what made him cool. That he was so suave and sophisticated. I understand your reasoning however. Maybe a damaged voice processor would work. Otherwise I don't know what you could do to quiet him and have it work.
Time in Reboot terms doesn't work and is a mess. I've long since given up trying to work with it and just try to avoid it when possible.
I'd like to hear what you're planning on doing with Megabyte. As Tony Jay is gone *mourns* I would like to see him with as few lines as possible. Mute him some way or something, but please don't try to replace Tony Jay. He *was* Megabyte, and though I loved that villian, I think he should be brought to an end now that the man that breathed so much life into him is gone.
all I remember about how time converts is that a second is a very long amount of time. It's also nice to know you plan to keep the general feel of the original show. You guys are definetly my first choice to do the show.
As far as I understood, the only definites with ReBoot time was that nano = minute and second = day. I *think* that an hour equalled a year, a minute was a week and a cycle was a month, but I could be getting minute and cycle confused, and also I might have picked those ones up from fanfiction.
All I know is that a nano equals a minute. They kept using the term "cycle" to mean "hour" and other times something entirely different (see When Games Collide ep), and I always assumed a minute equaled a User month, and an hour a User year. Don't ask me how that works, but ReBoot somehow got it to fly over our heads even while we were scratching them.
If you could do a clarification and graph it out using this info, show us what -you- think the time conversion should be, and people will offer their opinions as always. More known fanfiction writers had a graph that became the norm, but make up something that works and put it on the drawing board.
Also, no one could really figure out that game-time acceleration thing in the original series, as to Users, time goes by fast enough in a computer as it is without a game speeding up time even more. It was a convenient plot device we simply ignored in our giddiness to have it simply work. Suspension of disbelief didn't die with the eighties. ;)
Oh, and Megabyte being killed by Gnosis right off. Nah. I really like the idea of him trying to interact with everything. One of the best things about Web World Wars was just that. And then there's a Codemaster teaming up with the Mainframers. I could see that messing with Megabyte, who has an obvious fear of them.
You can tell which character I'm biased towards, but I think it would be an interesting side dish for fans of both Lens and the viruses in general.
I am so glad that the plot is getting a major overhaul, in terms of the alein thing. I really think that you also need to keep the real world and the computer worlds seperate, as it sounds like you guys are trying to do. I really like that the character designs are staying true to the originals as much as possible, while still daring to be a little bit different. Also, this team has the best perceptions of what the character's personalities should be, as you are staying true to the original in that respect too. You guys are most definetly geting my vote, because you are actually doing this site justice by listening to the fans. You guys also seem to have more respect for Reboot, not just for what it was, but for all that it could and can be. Bravo you guys.
I don't think anyone really knows how time converts in Reboot. As I kept noticing mistakes in the show when they were talking about time. But you could always just plan it out and keep it according to the plan and you should be fine.
I'm not so keen on Gnosis destroying Megabyte outright, because I like the idea of Gnosis being his enemy as much as the heroes, it would be like the situation at the end of Season 2 where the sprites had to work with Megabyte to fight the Web creatures. Of course, this time around I'm pretty sure the heroes wouldn't be too keen to work with ol' Megsy. Which could lead to some interesting scenarios.

As long you don't gloss over the Megaframe cliffhanger. It's very important that that get resolved.
I hadn't realized Tony Jay had passed on. For that reason I would prefer Megabyte not be preserved. Megabyte can't be himself without him.
