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

[Eddie Brock]

I'm just saying, if we start throwing out phrases like "for no good reason" in regards to references, we start down a slippery slope. Now, I'm not saying go like, "Ugh, this is going worse than that time that Cyclops and Martian Manhunter fought Starro!" But I don't see the harm in the occasional namedrop. (And I'm not just saying that because I'm playing a motor mouth. ) If it truly hampers someone, it can be edited out or simply ignored.

[Vandy]

Alright guys, I think that's enough. We should probably this discussion for a later date.

See what I did there?

[Dawkins]

Eddie Brock for president

[Vandy]

Eddie Brock for president

@Dawkins

Nah man.

I suppose this is another reason why I hate frameworks that are vague. It just leads to such confusion, misunderstanding, and miscommunication.

In Carol’s debut post where she began to deal with The Brotherhood, I indeed mentioned an X-Men for a variety of reasons. One of which of a shared universe is to mention things at large to make connections as well as elaborating on a perspective of a character so they don’t seem to live in a vacuum. I was not simply “just mentioning them for the sake of filling out a post” which I reject the assertion completely. Also, do understand at the time I brainstormed that post somebody in the OOC said they were making a Charles Xavier sheet. So implying my mention was pointless padding or a senseless reference point is pretty disheartening for me as a collaborator in this thing.

I’m not necessarily offended, but it does kind of make me take a step back for a moment. We have to remember, also, that Magento tried to kill the President in a public fashion three years ago. So the Brotherhood existing and the X-Men not feels like The Joker existing before Batman. It’s been done, but I wasn’t aware that was the way things were panning out.

All I was asking is for some clarification whether they exist so I can decide if I need to edit one or two lines out of a post I made over two days ago. It was not meant as a debate. Why did it have to become a debate. I also do not need two people implying I did it for no reason and was pointless, trying to swap my hand with a flyswatter like this is something I need to be lectured about. It isn't intuitive for me wanting to write.

All you had to do was "No, the X-Men are not something Carol would be aware of. They do not exist or are not known about."

I would've edited my post thusly. It's not that crazy.

Ok, I'm off to bed for tonight everyone, hope everyone has a lovely night (for me) and I'll do my best to put a Thor post (or a few if people are around to interact) tomorrow :)

In the meantime, be happy everyone!

[Vandy]

@TimeMasterX One of these days you're going to run out of those. Mark my words.

@Gowi

Definitely didnt set out to slam your work - your arc ideas thusfar are great. AND I had completely missed the Xavier CS sheet being accepted. So I apologise!
Morden did reply that "No one said the Xmen dont exist" - but I'm sure he'll get back to us all in the next 12 hours - at which point Im sure I'll get knocked down a few pegs if I've taken what he said out of context.

[TimeMasterX]

That'll be a dark day @Vandy, a...Doom'sDay? :P

@miette

It wasn’t a sheet, but a mention of intent to create. But still, the OOC moves insanely fast so I don’t blame you there. You don’t need to apologize, but the sentiment is appreciated regardless.

[Vandy]

@TimeMasterX

Something like that.

[Gowi]

For the sake of drama, I've removed the mention of the X-Men.

[TimeMasterX]

Something like that.

@Vandy

:O I think I've just figured out a story arc!!!
@Vandy to the PM!!

[clanjos]

Juuuust gonna leave this here.

[Blue Demon]

I'll work up another Ivy post within the next week. Since she's more of a slow burn at this point. I have an end point, I just don't want to reach it too quickly. Especially if I might be tossing a Harley in the mix.

As for Cap. He's going to be at HQ for a while if anyone wants to join him and Zatanna. He'll make you do paperwork and various other sundry things, like training. It'll be tons of fun.

So is she going to be our first X-Men PC? I don't really count Wolverine and Nightcrawler since... well ICly they aren't X-Men, right? Heh.

@Gowi

Well...

Maybe Not...

...and also this!

[Gowi]

Don't know how I feel about this. I'm scared-ed.

Oh who am I kidding, I'll just keep my distance.

[Eddie Brock]

<Snipped quote by Gowi>

Well...

Maybe Not...

@Divine Darkness

That is a downright dangerous amount of exposed skin for Rogue.

[Bounce]

Had been working on a Kai-ro post, but I hit a wall.

I might focus on Damian and let Kai-ro slide to the backburner for a bit.

[Sep]

Incidentally the reason I had Ross turn up already after Banner was just introduced is that I need Banner to Hulk out to Introduce Hulk :P

Also to whomever makes Iron Man...

I have a request
