[OOC] X-Men: The Divided

[CrimsonWarrior55]

I'm definitely not comfortable with control other characters beyond minor physical reactions to my actions like a punch that sent them to the ground. I'd be too scared of doing something they didn't like or god-moding by accident. As for the third person viewpoint. i can see the benefits, but I don't think I'd ever use it unless it was required. I won't demand you change or anything, I'm not that type of guy, and seeing as I'm in an english college class we will probably toy with the idea so I will look into it, but I just don't feel like it suit my style of RPing.

Her CS surgery is going well, I think it is better but I am not sure about her history. I will most likely keep it blank unless I am happy with it. I don't know what else to add but maybe something will come up.

I think Plasma should have a best friend with someone this time round

Oh that reminds me we need a Emma frost for the team, well not her exactly but someone who can attack the mind or at least say stuff like others with that power can.

I have a ridiculous telekinetic/telepathic character I could use, if it comes down to it. I think I actually made him for another one of your RPs, but I don't remember.

The only other character I remember is Ebb but I do remember you making another character for Final Resolution which fell flat on its ass rather quickly.

I think that was my villain. I'm not actually sure what thread I made him for, but his CS is unique to one RP. It was maybe one I never posted, though. Did you make the one where the characters had two parents and were really powerful/older? I do love Ebb. And Andraste for that matter. I'd have to do an overhaul on him for the RP or just be like "Oh yeah, time rift."

I mean, if anyone else wants to do it, feel free to speak up. We kinda need one for balance, though. With the amount of people we have, we could almost do two groups with two leaders for a more strategic set of plans while doing missions.

No I did not make that one but I did try to start it up again though I did get permission from the original writer, me and him generally make a lot of stuff together so a lot of my group stuff is 50-50, some of my one on ones are his though but for the most part the one on one ideas are mine. I may look it over and update it but I am not sure if it will ever run again. I feel I may have to keep making X-Men RP's or fade into obscurity once more. They were not that powerful, I mean they had to learn about there powers but the point was they were meant to get powerful. Anyway is Ebb someone you use often?

[Damo021]

I thought I knew you from somewhere Solemn! ha ha. Vivi was the characters name :P

[Solemn]

Aaah, okay. I think we should just stick with this one for the moment anyway. As far as Ebb goes, I made her for that one RP and got to play her just that time. I really liked her and would have liked to use her more, but eh. I've had a couple of teleporters I liked quite a bit. I don't really RP Marvel outside of this little group anymore and most of my old characters are either dead or just kind of forgotten with the time.

Yes, Vivi. She brings me much demon-murdering joy.

Also, great post KH.

[MistressCyanide]

I have another idea in mind and hope some if not all of you join the next idea when this finishes. I will actually make a convo to see what you as a group think of it though. As I mentioned before it is hard to find a good group which I have right now and it is even harder letting them go once something finishes which I hope does not happen but I can't stop anyone from leaving..

[Solemn]

Sure you can. Just break their ankles like in Misery.

[Assallya]

Err...Crimson, I don't really think you're grabbing the concepts here. The only thing I've ever seen you write is the third person subjective, which is a third person narrative mode. What we're talking about is the differences between subjective, objective, limited and omniscient.

As a GM on the tabletop I had to use Second Person Objective nearly continuously. It is quite appropriate to describe what a character not your own sees, hears or otherwise senses. The think to avoid is describing any reaction on the part of that character. For example, when a dragon rears before the characters I would describe everything the players saw... but I would avoid adding that they feel fear and tremble before his majesty. If I've done my job describing the dragon adequately the players should feel this on their own.

One thing that is certain, some villains would be completely ruined by the third person subjective mode. In particular, those that use treachery and confidence games. I can't tell you how many times players have reacted to the narrative voice and not the character.

On a different tack, a telepath would be rather ideal. We have two brawlers and three blasters in addition to our earth mover. Generally, our group is best suited to guerilla tactics :) We're also lacking a doppelganger, a brick or paragon, and a technical expert.

[Damo021]

People are leaving? I think there is a pretty good and strong group here and i feel I will be learning new things while I am here to :) I will be getting my first post up soon.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Jeez, Assallya, you're frying my brain here. As much as I hate to say this (and I'm really not trying to be mean or jerk, I promise! I do care about your opinion), but all this talk of different narratives is starting to make this a chore and I just want to have fun. So I'm bowing out of this discussion now before I end up losing interest in RPs altogether (not saying that's what your doing, just that I don't think the same way you do. It sounds like you LOVE using alternate methods of story telling and hooray for you. I'm just to simple/single-minded to bother). So yeah, you have fun with what you do. Again, I mean this in the best way possible.

All I have to say is lol.

No people aren't leaving, I meant when the end comes which will come at some point and it makes me a little sad that we may break away from each other as this is a good group.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Just write down the people you liked from this RP and invite them to join others that you do. That's what I'm gonna start doing.

I like you all, it is like a dysfunctional family that is functional 0.0. (Wait What.....) I have you all added at the front so I will make sure to keep a eye on you all.

I know that is why I said it. But in the end I like you all.

Sorry… I just wanted to use that gif.

Also… YAY! You like me… give me about a month. I'll fuck it up. :D

Unless you can destroy this RP I don't think you can fuck it up. My very first RP had two people fuck it up, though they played it normally at first and soon the others who played it normally joined in and by the next time I looked it was all gone, the world was done for.
