@Dedonus Nothing wrong with a little biting, just be careful not to draw blood. Giggty. Anyways didn't know the Greek Gods have a CS. Maybe things like that should be linked in the new OP. Things like character. Eva. Insert link.


There use to be links to the character sheets (not to the Greek gods thought).

*crumbles up anything she was about to say, namely clarifying her intentions for this project, then tosses it into the wastebasket*

I'm going to back to my corner and keep trying to figure out the city flavor of Lost Haven then. Though thank you [@PunchFace] for your Lore, some of the aspects were interesting and helped with that. I didn't know that was the public view on the Lost Haven police department until now, which will help me in the future btw. It also explains some stuff I was trying to understand.


I didn't want to respond to your last post because I wanted the discussion to wait until NMS gets online. However, I will address it here in light of your last post. What was striking about your last post was that, at least from how I read it, it seemed like you and Tearstone tried to figure out the "city flavor of Lost Haven" on your own, without asking anyone. While I cannot remember whether you asked these questions yet in the OOC, if you had not done so, you should have (again, I cannot remember if you did or not). Those are the types of questions you should ask in the OOC. While I cannot really answer that question because all of my characters are located outside of Lost Haven, Nitemare Shape should be able to answer that question.

Again, when in doubt, ask us! We don't bite!
Speaking of lore and colliding, I actually had that problem with @Dedonus when I first started out. I had no idea he was using the Greek gods when I first wrote up Polemos. I've had to change 99% of what I wanted to do with him.

Luckily, I seem to have found a decent storyline for Chike. Others might not be so well off.


And that is why the Greek Gods have their own Character Sheet. ;)
We probably should cool down on this topic, as Raptorman has already said (and I will admit being guilty of continuing it). We just need to wait and see what NMS thinks about everything.
@fdeviant Could you post your character sheet in the character tab? Just for convenience sake. :)

<Snipped quote by The Rules>

You are allowed three characters.


allowed three characters.


THREE


@Athinar


But has he only really used Equilibrium so far?

Well said.
@RaptormanYou will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA- Coughcough


Honestly, I feel his characters (Nightmare, the Good Doctor, if he is still using that character) and the stories about them are better if there is a shroud of mystery about them. If Raptorman would be forced to write lore about them, it might take away from the discover of the lore in the IC as the events unfold. Furthermore, I am sure some might not want to put the time in or might not have the time write them.
Guys, I think we need to pause this discussion. You have gone a very long way down the road without nightmare's input at this point and some of us aren't huge fans of the forced lore compilation and standardization.


I agree that compulsory lore compilation shouldn't be the norm. Honestly, I only think we need a list of major events (and a summary of those events) to give new players an easy way to get into the game. And we already have this. Is 10 pages worth of lore only on magic going overboard? Probably.

If we do some form of lore compilation, I think it should be more focused on summaries on things that have already happened and brief bios about companies, locations, and other important things instead of writing novels on lore that hasn't been used in game yet.
With just my stuff alone I'd need a Lore thread. Then considering everyone else adding their lore, companies, PC friends. Et cetera. So should we put up a community Lore thread?


That's actually up to everyone, I can't answer that alone. So it might be best to vote on it, but the big question is who to send the votes of yes or no to really. *looks to @nitemare shape, @Dedonus and @Hound55.


So, I think we have three options. We can have the lore in the OP, in a separate lore thread, or in a dedicated C-A-H wiki. While I do not know which one everyone prefers, I do think we need to at least keep a short summary of recent events (like my summary of major events that is currently in the OP). Below, I will list what I think are the pro's and con's of each option.

Lore in the OP:
Pros: We do not need to worry about NMS disappearing, so it can always be edited. In a centralized location (don't need to go elsewhere for the information).
Cons: We have to send NMS the information, who then has to put it in the OP. Might make the OP a little cluttered.

Separate Lore Thread:
Pros: We can go into as much detail as we want without making the OP cluttered (we can have a link to it in the OP).
Cons: Risk of someone disappearing and therefore we cannot edit some parts of the thread. May become disorderly and someone would still need to update the OP of the Lore Thread (if we put any info in the OP of the Lore Thread).

Dedicated C-A-H wiki:
Pros: Don't have to rely on anyone to put up the information. Could make it organized.
Cons: Anyone can edit it. Need someone who know how to set up a wiki (although we could probably just google how to do so).
@Fallenreaper: I will try to fill in some more of the new OP as the day continues. Also, I found where the code mistake was that was giving you the error message. There was a stray [indent] code in the character sheet section, right before the "character name" entry.

@nitemare shape: The beginning of the game started in February, correct?

Rules and Expectations

* Stay true to the personality and abilities of the character, such as no Cyclops moving planets with his optic blasts, Dazzler defeating Galactus, or Aunt May as Galatus's new Herald...

* Do NOT rip off existing heroes in comic universes. Come up with your own creation. If your character is too similar to one in Marvel, DC, or other comic companies, you will be asked to change it or come up with a new character.

* Before starting a game wide event, check with the GM to ensure it will not conflict with ongoing plans. Such events should NOT be your introductory arc.

* Gods and other deities are not allowed. However, characters such as Darkseid and Odin, who may have been worshiped as such; are.

* Reality warping and cartoon physics and other such powers are not allowed.

* Do NOT criticize another poster’s character. We are not all Stan Lee or Shakespeare. Constructive criticism is okay as long as it is not offensive. This rule applies even if a poster asks for feedback.

* Your character should make sense. Wolverine doesn’t dance in the flowers. If you have a meek character, they shouldn’t be smacking other characters around.

* Communicate with others in your arc. This is key to the fun. It doesn’t matter how many fights you win, it matters if the fights were written well.

* The Game Masters have the final say in matters of character acceptance. You are welcome to alter the character to make it less powerful or more creative, but arguing with the Game Masters is not allowed. This is a game, let it be fun.

* You are allowed three characters. However, if you are new to the game we recommend starting off with one. You can always add another character later.

* This is a working environment, so you can travel to different places using your powers or vehicles. Don't miraculously pop up unless you're a teleporter or such.

* If you are new to the RPG, your first arc should be your origin arc. There are NO pre-established characters in this RPG.

* You can reside in any place in the New Universe. Note, however, that the main city is Lost Haven, Maine. This is where a lot of the action will take place. You can also travel off-planet.

* Don't do anything RANDOM like chopping off board user's heads or what not, unless you're a villain chopping off NPC victims heads, then whatever, go with it, as long as it's not technically RANDOM.

* Don't be killing people without reason. You know your weaknesses and strengths, what you can do or can't. Dazzler will lose against Thanos one on one, but may be able to use her allies to help her out or she can run away.

* If you want to take part in this, just fill out an app and your name and character will appear on the roster, pending approval.

* You can form super villain gangs, superhero teams, alliances, the works.

* There can be a number of stories going on at once, using different people.

* Act like your characters; ASSUME their traits and personalities.

* There are endless places to go and endless things to do: ENDLESS possibilities so get creative.

* There should be MINIMAL cussing and swearing in posts.

* No obscene topics! NO exceptions will be made for the RPG.

* People who disobey these rules, some more major than the others, will get BOOTED by the Game Masters.

* I made most (if not all) of the character banners in this game. If you join and would like one, feel free to ask.

* This game has OPEN ENROLLMENT. There are no limits on the number of players who can join. Feel free to fill out a CS and join the fun!
