I'm here too! well at work but I'm there in spirit
@jynmi88 (That quote regarding Archmage was a jab at him specifically).
What you just said however can be true depending on what the RP wants to be. Not everything will be included, but it all depends on the idea, how it is done, etc.

This is never a particularly easy lesson to learn, but it's a good one. I've rescinded my interest from so many prospects that I've stopped even mentioning it. I just silently subscribe to the thread and watch. The reason almost every time is that something isn't disclosed up front. A game mechanic, a crucial bit of world lore, you name it and it's happened. The way I've taken to doing int checks is that the full thread as you'd put it up in an RP is what goes up in the int check. The interest check is exactly that, an interest check, to get people in and writing CSs rather than a mostly-finished concept being pitched before its ready. That said, it takes forever ... a lesson I am learning the hard way slowly plugging along with Tear the World Down.

This is grammatically weird. I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or countering me. Was "didn't" supposed to be "did"?
EDIT:
> DOOM 2016
Good choice. :)
<Snipped quote by jynmi88>
Quite so. They forced for something else they wanted when it's not on the menu. Like wanting hamburgers at a fast food hot dog joint. That's not on the menu or what's being shown. You either get what you get, or find a way to improve the concept/product.
Man that would've been a cool character! I love me some Doom so Im fully onboard with a character like so.
We shall see. I'll be onboard if it does happen.
And on that note:

Oh look... there's a huge flaw in your concept of reasoning.
<Snipped quote by jynmi88>
Indeed. It started off well, but then two came in and bashed it on the head. I also believe this is at fault.
I would've at least two alternate canon characters, one from say Talon --> Overwatch and the reverse Overwatch --> Talon.
This wasn't just pushing, this was a pretty strong shove and with little fairness. They wanted something else outside of this RP, a gaming multiverse or something, and not just what it's supposed to be. That's a disaster waiting to happen for nearly any GM who can take things to heart (I mean everyone can/does to a certain extent). But yeah, the ideas presented as said are pretty cool. Maybe someone can rebirth this concept with a slightly more detailed flair (Spoiler Alert: Not me - I got shit to do atm and will probably not be the best GM) but honestly who knows.

Of course, he could be busy, but judging by what I've seen, it leans much more so to what I initially think. Criticism is good as long as its medium and fair.
A shame too... I was ready to make a character as soon as I see a few more examples and act accordingly. But it seems it didn't happen because of these guys.
(Nor do I have shame in calling them out, especially one of them, because god damnit we've almost had something and yall just had to go there...)
<Snipped quote by jynmi88>
Not to scapegoat anyone, but I think Archmage MC and Zero Hex may be the culprits of it's downfall.
(Especially one particular person. The moment he entered I was turned off immediately. He knows who he is.)
