Phew. Time to catch up again. For the most part, I enjoy all your posts well enough though, so no complaint really. Also, Yog, you really really wanna' punch Atomic Skull, don't you?

not exactly, i want a villain who can smash us all into the ground and possibly kill us. it teaches the arrogant heroes a leason in not underestimating their opponents. Also I really want to post having ether Atomic Skull or Doomsday punch Patriot into dozens of buildings and cause huge amounts of destruction.

Well, that wouldn't be a great way for the team to garner the trust of the people, Mr Collateral Damage. :P

Also, I have a few suggestions, Lantern. I think we should incorporate a bit of a post order, and also limit back-and-forth posting.

And for everyone else, I know it can be daunting, but I feel as if the reason this Icicle situation got out of hand is that nobody seemed to be reading anyone else's posts. There's only two pages so far, and most posts are only a few paragraphs. We're roleplaying a team. We simply cannot ignore each other.

Doomsday and Atomic Skull always cause huge amounts of destruction when they fight the heroes. And I say that having our characters fight against almost impossible odds makes it more fun and a challenge. If it's easy then it gets boring and turns into who can show off the most and take down the villain the quickest.

[GreenGrenade]

Agreed, agreed and agreed. I tried to acknowledge all posts, but found it quite difficult to as I'd been away for the first few days of the RP and had yet to introduce Hellfire. Apologies for the inconveniences I, and any of the others, may have caused.

I don't think this should be a contest. Should be more driven towards character development and story line than who can beat the villain the quickest/best. I think we'll all just have to accept that there will be fight sequences where we aren't all able to get a hit off on the enemy.

Hellfire was fine, seeing as he didn't cause any damage, enter the frey, or try to torch Icicle when he was already down. (Looking at you, Revan. :P)

I wouldn't expect anyone to acknowledge every post, that'd be silly, but just the ones that affect you.

EDIT: Also, Apollo post is up.

so are you saying that we shouldn't fight challenging opponents? this is superheroes we're talking about, having very challenging villains is what makes a comic book great.

I would argue that there is so much more to making a comic book great then that, but that's a digression from the point I'm trying to make.

Yes, we should of course fight challenging enemies, but it should not be a contest between us for who can show off their powers. We shouldn't fight enemies based on which ones can take the hardest beating just so that we can all flex our characters powers and see who is the coolest in a fight.

Once again, I can't help but agree with you. You make excellent points. Great post, by the way.

the point of taking a beating is way of having the character know that they may face imminent death which usually creates some really great character development. I am not planning to use the beating as a way of showing off, I was planning to use it as a way to really show how a super strong character can become vulnerable and possibly die. in my opinion, it is almost essential for a superhero to have a worthy villain who can really challenge them. a comic book that doesn't have a challenging villain is like a table with three legs, it isn't complete.

I wasn't talking about our characters taking a beating. Rather, beating the crap out of our enemies. Which is what I meant when I said we shouldn't use our enemies durability as just a chance to show off our powers. Think about how hectic that would get if we fought, say, Doomsday. We're not trying to destroy the city here. Also, the GM has a plan for where he wants the story to go, and it probably doesn't end with Star City being destroyed on one of our character's earliest missions.

[Endrance]

Well i'm pretty sure KL is going to do this anyway but limiting team size per mission is a good idea. Like in the second season of YJ. Or even in the first where some characters took the day to go help their sponsor.

Lucian said I think we should incorporate a bit of a post order

If that happens I will have to write Cyber out. The one and only time I participated in an RP that included a post order, I was kept waiting a week. On day 8 I posted out of turn writing my character out of the story. At that point I vowed to never join an RP with a post order and to leave any that started one after I joined.

It's not up to me, I'm just making suggestions to avoid a repeat of that mess.

EDIT: But also, Cyber Knight did already nearly torch an ally. Maybe we'd be safer.

(Kidding, I'd rather not see you go.)

[Endrance]

I don't think post order is necessary and i know KL won't implement that. Just don't post until at least two people have gone if you're really itching to progress...

I try to wait at least three.

Endrance who that is in your avatar? The mask looks familiar.

[Lucian]

Not really progression I'm worried about. The flood of posts leads to people not reading each other's posts, and then we come full circle with what I mentioned earlier.

[Endrance]

It's Hei from darker than black. Favorite anime series.

And yeah with the amount in this roleplay even three is fine. I'm just floating around to wait for KL to advance things. I don't see much point in posting right now.

[Omega Man]

I'm online! Who wants to titanpad?

~KL~

[Lucian]

Never used titanpad before, but if it's simple, I'll jump in.
