Project Crossover 1-year Anniversary

[Holy Soldier]

December 11, 2017

Hey everybody,

December 11, 2016 was when I first posted Project Crossover and it has since come a very very very long way. The journey has been full of juicy storyline plots and lovely character interaction. As much as I would have loved to start and end with the same people, every GM who has ever ran a long-term game knows that that is never the case. People leave for various reasons. Some disappear for various reasons, but regardless we’re going to pay tribute to all of those players who were once upon a time in this game and are no longer with us. Whether their internet gave out, real life took them away, they lost interest, or what have you, we’re still going to give thanks to their contributions no matter how large or how little. Below is a list of our contributors who are no longer in this game, but who are always welcome to return:

@Fabricant451
@Bornlucky
@SuddenSardines
@Hostile
@Loki Odinson
@Argetlam350
@Gentlemanvaultboy
@Aether Spawn
@Simple Unicycle
@ToadRopes
@Hylozoist
@Nerevarine
@Bright_Ops
@WingsOfBronze
@Lmpkio
@Crosswire
@Afro Samurai
@ModeGone
@Rockin Strings

Note: I originally wasn’t going to mention everyone because the system only notifies a few individuals and not all of them, but then I thought whatever.

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering why this post is going out now when it’s not December 11 yet. The reason is because I am always recruiting. This is a BIG game, and I’m always looking for talented writers and leadership to join the legacy. So if you would like to be a part of it. If you like engaging missions, a steady game pace, and watching your character develop alongside others. If you like a long-term game that lasts long enough for any storyline and in-character relationships to develop, then this is the game for you. Bring your creativity not your drama. Moving on.

Now, I am going to be dishing out some awards and achievements. First, I want to thank those players who have been with me from the beginning. They are my “Veteran” players and therefore will be receiving “Veteran Awards” in the form of an achievement on December 11, 2017. Those players are:

@DracoLunaris
@Etherean Fire
@Lugubrious
@Zarkun

These players have been with the game since the beginning and have kept this baby moving. I am really thankful to have them. They are great writers both in game and out. They are just awesome people. I hope that they will be here next year so that I can thank them again, but I am glad that they are enjoying the story to stick around.

Now to thank all of my current active players:

@DracoLunaris
@Etherean Fire
@Lugubrious
@Zarkun
@Guardian Angel Haruki
@Leaves
@DarkRecon
@Majoras End
@ONL
@Tenma Tendo

If these players remain active until December 11, 2017, then I will be rewarding them a second or third character slot (depending if they didn’t already achieve the second character slot) and a free level up for their characters. This level up will not drain the current XP they have collected. This is a free level up. They will also be awarded a 1 year Anniversary Achievement.

I am glad that I started this game in December around one of the best holidays that the entire world celebrates. I get to give out free gifts as a GM that normally, they would have to work for to receive.

Again, this is Project Crossover, a video game mashup game. If you are interested in joining, then I will be accepting new recruits at this time. We have a Spyro the Dragon mission getting ready to kick off, and after the current missions, including the Spyro mission have concluded, then we’ll have a Delta mission. Delta missions have the highest difficulty and where I am slightly unforgiving as a GM. Therefore, when you see a character with Delta as their rank, it basically means they can handle the mission. These ranks are not something you pick. It is something I give to you at the end of a mission if I feel your character has demonstrated the ability. Key words: your character. Sometimes a character’s personality makes them unfit naturally but that is okay. There are other squads who play an important role in support.

I will be erasing the inactive list on December 11. We will be starting fresh on that day. I hope with my current active cast that I’ll have more veteran awards to give out next year.

If you could maybe explain what exactly Project Crossover is, or post a link to it or something, like, that'd be great. "A BIG video game crossover with engaging missions, a steady game pace, and character development" is really not a lot to work with in terms of interest checks.

@MattchstickIt's in my signature. ^ v

[Mattchstick]

@Holy SoldierOh, I had those disabled. Okay.

[Mattchstick]

Recruitment is on HOLD until the current missions are complete!

Um...well, still interested.

[Holy Soldier]

@MattchstickNah that's old. I need to go erase that because I've already recruited three people even while that was posted lol. Just let me know what character you're going for before you start working on it.

@Holy SoldierI'm interested in playing as an XCOM soldier (Support, from the first game). It's a little limited, since the XCOM operatives don't have much of a history or personality, but I'm sure I could whip something up, and it might be fun to see one develop a personality. It's also extremely easy to track weapons, abilities, and items, and I've played more than enough XCOM to know the gear

If you would prefer I play a more advanced kind of character, I am also interested in trying Commander Shepard. But I've only play ME3, so. Not as familiar.

@Mattchstick

You, sir, have excellent taste in games.

@ZarkunEnemy Unknown is a lovely experience that I highly recommend if you enjoy crying in frustration.

Oooooo plus, if I get to be a Support soldier, I'll have an excuse to start a new XCOM game.

@Mattchstick

I've played Enemy Unknown, Enemy Within, and Xcom 2. Just need to play War of the Chosen.

It's the game's anniversary. I will be accepting new writers who would like to join at this time.
