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

[Kingfisher]

@Morden Man managing us is fun?

I would have said it was a privilege.

<Snipped quote by Kingfisher>

He could mean that he doesn't want someone to fill those particular shoes.

@Sep

I need no man's permission! Unless they're a Co-GM, in which case I probably do.

@Kingfisher

Well it's also nice to get the player who plays the parent characters permission before taking one of their rogues :P

[Morden Man]

I will lock the two of you in a room if need be.

Work out your differences or fight to the death, it's all the same to me.

@Morden Man

I'm not sure if this is entirely fair of me, but I've had @Roman lined up as a 'Guest Writer' for my Joker for quite some time now. I can have him submit a sheet if need be.

Heck, I'll submit a sheet for Joker if need be lol.

@Lord Wraith

If you've got established plans I'm sure I can find a different character. I was only brainstorming, and I don't want to tread on anyone's toes.

[Sep]

Also right guys. We're reaching 2000 OOC posts.

Lets try to do better this time than @Natty talking about his laptop issues.

If not we'll need to push on for 3000.

[Morden Man]

@Kingfisher That's what you think.

@Lord Wraith I think we get into slippery territory when we start having "guest writers" for characters. I mean, I trust in both of your abilities but once you start allowing it for some people, it's difficult to turn around and tell other people they can't do it. Well, less difficult and more awkward. So maybe (either you or Roman) throwing up a sheet at some point could be a good idea. I know you're short on time though, so it's not a matter of urgency.

[Roman]

[@Modern Man] I've got some ideas for Kilgrave, but now that Moth's in the Kingpin's employ, I feel like it would be a good time to drop her.

Would you mind if I were to switch her out and apply for a different character?

@Kingfisher

Who said I wanted her? Ideally she should have been left in Gotham under the Hero character she's associated with.

@Morden Man

Wraith and I have discussed over skype and I was going to submit a sheet privately to the pair of you, but if it's needed I can quite easily post it here.

[Kingfisher]

@Morden Man In that case, can I have £10?

[Morden Man]

@Roman Either works for me. If there are details within the sheet you'd sooner keep secret you can PM me with it. For the most part, it'll be helpful having the Joker on the roster to stop newcomers from thinking he's not PCed.

[Enarr]

His username isn't Modern Man it's Morden Man.

[Kingfisher]

His username isn't Modern Man it's Morden Man.

@Nightrunner

You have just saved me so much confusion

@Kingfisher

Though @Morden Man is quite a modern man.

@Kingfisher

I saw you not eating your vegetables! You can't get away with that in this household.

Also as no-one really commented on this, I shall bring it forth as I think it's kinda important:

So how does everything think things are going? If there's any constructive criticism about the general direction of the game, I'm all ears.

It's still very early on but I think we have a nice mixture of interaction and solo arcs going on. I'm always one to err on the side of letting people do their own thing - I think game-wide events should be very few and far between, though if people are of the opinion that there should be more direction, I could be amenable to that.

And also, if there are people that have hit a wall with their characters or are thinking about dropping them, I'd encourage you to say so, if only so that those of us in the OOC thread can either help you out - be that through general advice, helping with planning, and/or getting some interaction sorted out. I don't want anyone to feel like they have to stick with characters they've been accepted for if they are no longer feeling it. I know in some games there's a particularly unforgiving culture for dropping out but I'd sooner have happy, active posters IC than force people to stick with something after they've soured on an idea.

@Morden Man

My response

@Morden Man I think, personally (as the resident OOC spammer), that game wide events should be a thing but built upto. Usually within one of the key groups (in this case, the Justice League), an Arc that can be interupted with Solo arcs and then builds to a climax which lets more people throughout the RP get involved before the resolution and then things calm down again.

More for the fact that it adds some spice, than direction. I don't know about everyone else but I am happy to run solo arcs and occasionally have some interaction but I think with the authority of GM (or Co-GM... -eyes @Lord Wraith-) it creates a story that other people can get involved in, with ane element of suspense and surprise. As they don't know what's going to happen!

That's just my two cents anyway.

---

Also as Natty, Morden and people who know me know I like to plan out future arcs so if someone is struggling I can help out if you want.

@Sep

[Lord Wraith]

@Sep Someone is seeking validation :P

@Lord Wraith

Not really, I do think it's important though.

I mean, I already know I have your love, and Mordens love and everyone elses love.

I'm a loveable guy. I just like discussion, and was wondering if anyone else was gonna weigh in.

[Lord Wraith]

I mean, I already know I have your love.
