[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[Sep]

@Retired SO I can breathe again now?

[Bounce]

Like they say, the perfect is the enemy of the good.

@Morden Man

[Sep]

So after work today I'm going to stay at a mates, I'll be home tomorrow but straight to work. So if anyone needs anything from me PM me rather than post it on the OOC as while I'll read through the ooc at some point I won't be able to respond in detail here.

[Lord Wraith]

Whose permission do I need to have SHIELD pick up Creel during the conclusion of my current arc?

@Lord Wraith

Nobody's. SHIELD is a game-wide entity and can't really belong to anyone. I'd avoid using Nick Fury directly, since he's a player in Cap's cast, but go nuts otherwise.

@Master Bruce

Alright, I'll have to think of a fun shout out for an agent then.

[Sep]

@Lord Wraith use Coulson. Everyone should use coulson. He's everywhere

@Sep

Phil, son of Coul was my gut reaction but, I have not been making great use of the One Universe aspect of the game thus far. So I'll have to think about it, have a character in mind but I need to look into it some more and contact a player about it.

Also, new announcement:

This season will officially conclude September 25th, three months to the day that the IC thread was started. I'm announcing this now so that people have a better idea of how to space out their arcs for the season to help prevent any future slacking.

Three months is a long time for an IC to run, and should be plenty of time for each of us to do what we gotta do to get our characters through their Year One growing pains and into a second season.

If things aren't quite resolved across the board by the time we reach that date, I may delay closing up shop. But for now, consider this the goal to strive towards. Think about where you want your characters to go outside of interactions, who you'd want to interact with, and what your checklists are for the season.

Good? Good.

[Lord Wraith]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

@Master Bruce

Also, just in case I'm dumb, by September 25, our characters should have experienced about a year's worth of time IC then?

[Mao Mao]

@Master Bruce, what do you mean by season? Like the overall Year One roleplay or just the Silver Surfer storyline/arc/whatever-you-call-it?

@Lord Wraith

Not nessescarily, since that would needlessly box people into a weird constraint. The Year One subtitle is only meant to reflect where the characters are at. Where in that first year is entirely up to the player.

@Star Lord

Season basically means chapter, or overall arc across the board. Once this season, Year One, is concluded, we move to Year Two and the ballgame changes somewhat. How it changes will be an open topic of discussion closer to the date, but I imagine there'll at least be a small time jump involved at the very least.

Silver Surfer may or may not guide the season to that point, but that's still in the planning stages.

@Lord Wraith

Or be ready for a minor time jump, yeah.

@Master Bruce

Would that mean you guys make a new thread and we move there or just stick to this thread and changed the title up and other stuff?

@Star Lord

New thread. Give it a whole fresh start.

[HenryJonesJr]

Hmmmmm interesting. Shorter season than we normally did, but I like the concept. Makes us put out a shorter, stronger storyline.

Was planning on having the season run the full senior year for Gwen, but in light of this maybe I'll just have it run the first half. Will have to see.

@Master Bruce

Will we need to reapply as our characters or only if we want to write a new one?

[Master Bruce]

@Lord Wraith

I'd prefer everyone re-apply, but if you want to just copy/paste your applications from this season, I don't see the harm. It'd be more of a formality, really, to stave off any new players from thinking they can just come in and claim dibs on a character rather than apply like anyone else.

That said, those who stayed active at the end would remain on the roster (which I'd add to the OOC) to prevent a sudden set of competing apps for previously established characters.
