@AndyC

Oh shit son.

I don't know if I'm actually allowed to accept people (we had discussed Matt's application) so I'm gonna say you and the child will need to wait for our overlord to awaken

Hillan has hit 24.

@Retired

He might be 24 but his mental age is much lower.

@Sep Excellent news.

That being said, i wanted to pose a question to the group:

So, the fact that i'm playing the Lanterns again has brought up some bad memories for people and the bad blood i appreciate fully. So, i want to pose it to the group to decide:

Would you guys feel more comfortable with me leaving John Stewart out of my story? I would love the opportunity to earn some trust back from everyone, but at the same time, I feel that people might resent me getting another chance from DM's who weren't around when the incident in question happened.

The incident in question

For those of you who don't know, during that RP i made a series of "Hal having a trip-out" scenes where one of the scenes in question was "Green Lantern: The 1950's Serial" Where all of the characters in my story were reimagined as 1950's versions of themselves. And being that the 1950's were not exactly a time when African-American representation was very kind to that community, i portrayed John Stewart during this scene as most African-American were portrayed, albeit tuned down. No N words or anything (I had the sense to not do that) but i'd say Along these lines I thought it would be a funny little "Haha, 50's people were racist" that we could all have a laugh at and move on from. And to be fair, the only initial response i got from that was a thumbs up from someone. However, a few posts later some people took great offense to this portrayal.

Now, i am not saying that they shouldn't have taken offense. All things considered, it was a really bad place and a really bad time to make that joke and i do acknowledge that i DEFINITELY shouldn't have done it there and the DM's made the right decision to kick me from the game.

So yeah, i want to make sure everyone is comfortable with giving me another chance, especially since @Simple Unicycle has already mentioned it. I was going to leave it up to the DM's, but again, being that they weren't involved in the original incident, i wanted to give those who were an opportunity to either trust me again or, failing that, allow me the opportunity to earn their trust by showing that i can use other characters without fucking up royally.

@mattmanganon

I mean I don't care about all that, I'd say simply hold of on John Stewart just incase someone else wants to be John Stewart

@Master Bruce The Power Rangers analogy is pretty much what i was thinking. Ronan's minions would mostly consist of the Non-Lantern Green Lantern villains such as Doctor Polaris, Karshon The Shark and The Icicle, as well as a couple of the "Alien Mercenary" villains that both Marvel and DC are littered with such as Death's Head, Starbreaker, Lunatik, Draaga, etc. who can be defeated and then released or escape for other players to use. I also had an idea for an episode where Hal gets trapped on an alien ship that wanders into orbit of Earth where it's just him and a half-broken, half-insane Manhunter bot that he has to give the runaround whilst trying to figure out a way off the ship. But i also had idea's for stories of smaller human villains (Including Hector Hammond) or regular civilians having got their hands on the missing rings and getting up to mischief with them. Those stories would follow more of a set up like an episode of Supernatural with them finding the ring, news reaching S.H.I.E.L.D. of ring-based shenanigans going on somewhere else in the world and then Hal and Sinestro going to investigate, before a fight breaks out, the heroes win and the Ring users don't remember a thing about their time under the rings influence. I'll always ask the group before reaching outside of the Lantern mythos for villains though.

And yes, i appreciate the "We are just starting off" so yup, mostly going to be smaller skirmishes, no World Ending Threats. As i said in the Interest Check, when i reach endgame and Ronan does reach Earth, it's going to be a very isolated invasion where he uses alien technologies to make sure the rest of Earth remains oblivious to him and the carnage of Coast City until he has what he's come for. Partially because he doesn't want the rings escaping his grasp, but mostly because he's read the reports of the Kryptonian and he isn't confident he can take that guy until he has the rings.

@mattmanganon

Sounds good to us. They're asleep so can I accept you? Screw it it's @Master Bruce fault for being asleep.

Meh, go for it. I had to edit my last comment like five times because it was meaner than I intended, so I have it coming.

@AndyC

I didn't take it as mean DW. Screw what these other bozos think.

Ultimate One Universe: Emergence

I was going to make a witty and humorous remark that you would all have laughed at but @DocTachyon told me it sounded mean

Ultimate One Universe: Emergence

Rassin'-frassin'....you've won this round, MB, but we'll see who gets the last laugh!

@AndyC

Real talk it was a close race man, we have no issue with your Supes at all. The reason we went with @Master Bruce is because hes the GM his was just a different take we haven't seen in one of these gamea before.

I totally said this of my own free will
I got told to remove that as it made it sound like I didn't write it of my own free will which I definitely did

So how's everyone doing?

@Byrd Man

I'm surprised there's not a villain called The Encyclopedia.
