[OOC] The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

[HenryJonesJr]

Henry, you ol' sonuvabitch. I, too, am new to the world of Marvel Unlimited and loving it.

@Eddie Brock

I look forward to sharing New York with your Spidey once again

[Morden Man]

As I said via PM, it's great to have you back, Henry.

On two completely different, unrelated notes: I should probably have a cull of the roster at some point. There are some people that have gone completely AWOL and I'm concerned having their characters on the roster might dissuade people from joining.

Plus given it's been a month I was thinking we could do a "Post of the Month" competition or something? With each month that passes, we'll all (singularly) nominate one post as the post of the month. I'll put it on the front page or something. Do people like that idea?

[Gowi]

Kind of like the old post-game Hype awards?

[Morden Man]

Yeah, but adjusted for the pace of this site.

We all specify a post we think has been the best of the previous month, maybe specify why if you want to, and enshrine it in the first post forever more. (Or more likely for however long this game lasts)

[Blue Demon]

Do people like that idea?

@Morden Man

No. I'm sorry but No.

@Blue Demon Should get Hulk and Colossus up tomorrow. If I don't get the chance to post my Colossus post can I PM it to you so you can post it? Just because I doubt I'll be available sunday and don't want you to wait.

@Sep

Don't rush on my behalf. My weekend just filled up and I'm left wondering when I can finish off Cap (on top of other RPs I have to reply to).

[Morden Man]

@Blue Demon Meh, nobody would be obligated to vote if they didn't want to.

[Blue Demon]

@Morden ManBut it's the act of voting/judging that I object to. Just bowing out wouldn't negate the fact that it would still happen.

[Morden Man]

@Blue Demon Why?

We used to do it on the Hype and it never caused any problems. At all. If anything, I remember being completely anonymous, having ghosted from account to account over a number of years, and then receiving a "Newcomer of the Year" award as Guy Gardner in an old Ultimate DC game and feeling validated. Like my work actually mattered and somebody had noticed it.

I don't think people's egos are so fragile or their tastes so uniform that it wouldn't work.

[Gowi]

Another idea: the GM could elect a post/player character to talk about, giving some kind of community discussion and awareness.

"Newcomer of the Year" award

Legitimately when I got this in RPG's first UDC (iirc) it felt pretty amazing.

[Blue Demon]

@Morden ManAfter writing my reply, I decided it's best if I PM it to you instead.

[GreenGrenade]

I'm about to go into the cinema to watch BvS, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still here. I've run into a few roadblocks trying to write my next post, but hopefully I should have one up by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

@Gowi

Of the two, I'm more inclined towards Gowi's idea, but I'm honestly unopposed to either of them.

[Morden Man]

For the time being, let's focus on reaching 200 IC posts. And by reaching 200 IC posts, what I really mean is reaching ~260 IC posts and overtaking All-Star Marvel, but I think 200 within the next week or so will suffice.

"One Game to rule them all, One Game to find them,
One Game to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

[Lord Wraith]

Just got back from BvS and I'm going to go against the flow and give it a thumbs up. It's not a brilliant movie or another Dark Knight but I definitely found it to be an enjoyable movie. Could have been paced better and there's a few other issues but overall I enjoyed it.

[Sep]

@Lord Wraith how dare you have a different opinion than other people!

I actually hear (spoiler free) that Afflecks portrayal of Batman is one of the best, if not the best. Would you like to comment on these rumours sir?

[Dedonus]

@Morden Man

Oh, I see the truth now. It's a competition now. Well, I won't go down without a fight.

Also, I'm pretty sure Create-A-Hero has quite the lead over both of our games. ;)

[Sep]

Mom, Dad.

Please don't fight. Despite my lack of inspiration for a Ravage/Hulk post in ASM I love you both.

[GreenGrenade]

I gotta say, I really, really enjoyed BvS. Hell, I'd go as far as saying that I loved it. It's not perfect by any stretch, but it's a damn good superhero movie. I'd write a proper review and post it here, but that would be assuming that I've gotten my thoughts about it in order. Which I have not. All I'll say for now is that I'm really looking forward to Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and Justice League.

What a time to be alive.

[Morden Man]

@Dedonus Heh, it's all love.

@GreenGrenade It's crazy how disparate people's opinions have been about it:

Batman v Superman spoilers

No, seriously, there are Batman v Superman spoilers here in here

Don't say I didn't warn you

I just could not get on board with Batman killing. The five second explanation as to why he'd all of a sudden thrown out his two rules (no killing and no guns) was just not good enough for me. It felt like an Elseworld version of Batman or All-Star Batman instead of the Batman I recognise.

@Morden Man

BvS Spoiler: Continued

Don't do it

That is literally the one major problem I had with the movie. Everything else was just minor gripes -- other than that one thing, there was literally nothing to bring my opinion of it down.

Spoilerception

But those cameos, tho.
