Sorry about posting in a thread in which I am not involved.  I would throw my hat in to the ring with an application, but I don't think I have the time to commit to this game while keeping the sister games (All-Star Marvel and Create-A-Hero - 1 and 2 years old now :sun) going strong.  I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.

First of all, [@Morden Man], it is definitely none of my business on how you run this game.  I just wanted to point out one different between the current All-Star Marvel/Create-A-Hero RPG and the other sister games that have been fortunate enough to last as long as these two previous games.  In the former, with only a few exceptions, we usually started by focusing on one character and then added more once we got the game rolling (for instance, in ASM, I started with Spider-Man, then I added Hawkeye, then finally Ms. Marvel).  However, in the latter, I have noticed a trend of people applying for 2-3 characters at the very beginning of the game.  While I am not at all claiming that this was [b]the[/b] reason that made those other games to "die" while the All-Star Marvel and Create-A-Hero games are still going strong, but I did just wanted to put out what I saw.

And please don't take this personally.  I would love to see this game thrive and what I said above might not turn out true for this game.  But as a fellow GM of a similar game, I just wanted to share my thoughts on this trend that I have seen over the past two or so years since being in these types of games.  Also, it is kind of too late now to apply any changes, but just for future reference. :)

This is the question. Honestly, I prefer how I did it with White Tiger/Iron Fist and Iron Man/Captain America in my previous game. Long collabs can soak up too much time and I've seen them [i]kill[/i] games with their superfluous content. It'd be best to play off each other even if the posts end up being short or result in "flooding" the IC.

I think the pitfall for some collaborative posts is that people think that they have to get the entire interaction into one post.  What they should be doing is writing out "regular sized" posts instead of these colossal walls of texts.  If people would take that approach (i.e. try writing a "regular" post and breaking up the interaction into multiple posts), then I think that these collaborations can be more successful.
