For the sake of drama, I've removed the mention of the X-Men.

You should look at my new account, I think.

Definitely didnt set out to slam your work - your arc ideas thusfar are great. AND I had completely missed the Xavier CS sheet. So I apologise!
Morden did reply that 'No one said the Xmen dont exist" - but I'm sure he'll get back to us all in the next 12 hours - at which point Im sure I'll get knocked down a few pegs if I've taken what he said out of context.
It wasn’t a sheet, but a mention of intent to create. But still, the OOC moves insanely fast so I don’t blame you there. You don’t need to apologize, but the sentiment is appreciated regardless.
I suppose this is another reason why I hate frameworks that are vague. It just leads to such confusion, misunderstanding, and miscommunication.
In Carol’s debut post where she began to deal with The Brotherhood, I indeed mentioned an X-Men for a variety of reasons. One of which of a shared universe is to mention things at large to make connections as well as elaborating on a perspective of a character so they don’t seem to live in a vacuum. I was not simply “just mentioning them for the sake of filling out a post” which I reject the assertion completely. Also, do understand at the time I brainstormed that post somebody in the OOC said they were making a Charles Xavier sheet. So implying my mention was pointless padding or a senseless reference point is pretty disheartening for me as a collaborator in this thing.
I’m not necessarily offended, but it does kind of make me take a step back for a moment. We have to remember, also, that Magento tried to kill the President in a public fashion three years ago. So the Brotherhood existing and the X-Men not feels like The Joker existing before Batman. It’s been done, but I wasn’t aware that was the way things were panning out.
All I was asking is for some clarification whether they exist so I can decide if I need to edit one or two lines out of a post I made over two days ago. It was not meant as a debate. Why did it have to become a debate. I also do not need two people implying I did it for no reason and was pointless, trying to swap my hand with a flyswatter like this is something I need to be lectured about. It isn't intuitive for me wanting to write.
All you had to do was "No, the X-Men are not something Carol would be aware of. They do not exist or are not known about."
I would've edited my post thusly. It's not that crazy.

I don't think that's the issue at hand. Carol made a reference to the X-Men because we're fighting the Brotherhood. That's a natural connection to make. It would be like if one of you fought Doctor Octopus, you might make a Spider-Man reference. They're intrinsically linked. So if they don't exist for whatever reason, we need to know before our characters contradict that fact.

and gives a genuinely ideological reason to be formed rather than just Superman trying to outdo Luthor.
I don't think it is fair to Morden to generalize that all his idea for the Avengers if Superman trying to outdo Luthor.
I just really need confirmation that there isn't a X-Men existing in the game before I edit Carol's first post to accommodate. Though, subjectively there not being a X-Men team three years after Magneto's little stunt doesn't make sense to me personally but that's not my call.
I was under the impression that a X-Men team wasn't going to be formed.
If this is the case then I need to edit my first post with Carol. Given that the Brotherhood are around I went in assuming the X-Men are. Order of Operations and all.
So is the next step a collab or are we continuing the sim in single-posts?
You, me, and LHG will have to set some time aside for a collab I think.
I rarely like things IC. D: If I did I'd just have to click the like button for every post and then I'd get bored with it and stop. Lol. So don't take it personally on my end.
The only reason I really go about liking the posts that I do is more than “I enjoyed this than I enjoyed that”, but also to build community. Keeping a lively and active OOC is one step but once we’ve built a community with our group we won’t have to ever worry about the game going dead in the water.
haha, I wasn't asking for actual likes since those are nice but don't matter that much, I just wanted feedback
I think this would be another way to build the community; feedback about the characters when asked. Also, I dont have to individually inquire over skype about my Diana and Carol interpretations. Haha. I’ve gotten some nice observations so far, and I’m working on two new posts right now.
Awww, no Wanda. :(
But also, yay, Marie! :D
So is she going to be our first X-Men PC? I don't really count Wolverine and Nightcrawler since... well ICly they aren't X-Men, right? Heh.
@GowiI think I mentioned Im using Pyro as a right hand man to Mystique so dont use him unless it intrinsic to your post - run it by me first!
Yep, I'll edit that out. I'm being forced to race through a post before a tabletop game starts so that's why I didn't send it out for approval beforehand.
