Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

Short post to help move things along. Not in the best mood today.

Also is my Cyclops sheet approved? Been longer than 48 hours, I believe.

@Taka

Yes, I can confirm Cyclops is accepted. Apologies, we were just sorting out how all the mutant apps would work with each other, but we think there's enough of an open line of communication between everyone to work anything out amicably.

What exactly does this process look like?

I know from GMing in the past that, oftentimes, you reach out to someone, they panic and promise a post, or you don't hear from them at all. What does your absolute cut-off look like in either of these situations?

Might I also suggest amending the rules to include such a cut-off?

<Snipped quote by Example Rule>

Updating the rules would save you a lot of footwork in the long run, and it also puts the onus on the players themselves rather than you having to chase after them. That said, it might be worth choosing a day of the week and posting a 'gentle poke' to any player over the week mark between posts at that time.

Because I am an absolutely anal GM, I keep spreadsheets of data for the RPs I GM and track things like last posted date, number of posts etc. By no means am I saying you need to adapt all of this, just sort of illustrating what works for me.



Example of my madness.

@Lord Wraith

Definitely something to discuss with Cyrania when I get a moment. I'm a bit conscious about hard lines around posting limits, etc when I've seen life get in the way for a lot of people in previous roleplays who might've had the chance to keep going if their situation was attended to more directly than adhering to a hard and fasty rule.

I would also love to be as organised with you to make and keep a spreadsheet up to date, but unfortunately I deal with enough of those in my daily work life to not go crazy if it seeped over into my hobbies as well

Just to let everyone know we have begun to PM players who have been inactive for a long time (Over the 2 week limit) in an effort to free up any characters that aren't being used. If anyone has any contact with these players and knows they want to leave/remain could you let the GM team know?

I aim to maybe do a small recruitment drive through a new interest check sometime after we clean up the character roster, so it would be good to have a list at a glance we can provide of who is actually free and not.

Nah, roleplaying with yourself is fine.

I might be biased though.

@Ezekiel I'm going to go ahead and accept the X-men being that there's a lot of open communication between all of the mutant players and everyone's working towards the same goal. I'm really excited to see what you guys cook up and I'm really happy you can all make such interesting and varied concepts co-exist!

You not knowing what Max Payne is has led me to conclude that Scottish people do not and will never know what peak fiction truly means.

@Simple Unicycle

As a Scottish person who must have played the Max Payne games at least 10 times I take personal offence to this

I keep mispelling Magneto as Magento, and I didn't even realize it til now. I might die of cringe lowkey.

Okay, I did some fixes.

@Ezekiel@DocTachyon Just to say both apps are under review! Apologies for the delay.
