@Lord Wraith that sounds acceptable to me. Also the idea of keeping supporting cast to actual close legacies rather than far off distant ones? As you said it got kinda silly.

@Sep

I have this idea of allowing stories happening in the past, present and future meaning that you can have your solo Batman but also have stories with Nightwing or Robin without messing up the Batman player's plans. If that player wants they could guest write any needed interaction with Batman or simply allow the other player to do so themselves so long as that player doesn't go overboard (ie including Batman in every post).

My other thing is, there won't be supporting casts on the proposal but I'd be okay with people laying claim to characters they need for their current arc. So if you're doing Flash versus Captain Cold as your first arc, I'd be okay with denying a Captain Cold app but only so long as that arc is running. When your arc has concluded, I'd expect the character to be free for a player to apply for.

As I said in our other discussion I would think that one per post every fourteen days is a reasonable requirement. I would extend that one step further as one post per character every fourteen days so as to discourage players from over burdening themselves with more characters than they can post with.

On another site I was involved in, we gave people two weeks to post before they got it taken from them.

@Byrd Man

I think this would be a perfectly acceptable rule.

@Lord Wraith I think that posts should remain camon though, as retconning all the time makes a mess. Maybe also a mandatory arc completion before collaboration?

@Sep

Hmm could be an idea although I'm not sure I like locking someone out of collaborating.

Could be other ways to ensure people don't squat on characters such as limiting how many characters one can have and putting rules on supporting cast lists. Some of the sheets in previous games have laid claim to so many characters it's gotten ridiculous.

The other thing we can do is apply a rule about posting frequency and if a player hasn't posted in a certain amount of time then their character goes up for auction.

How attached is everyone to the character rotation idea? I'm having second thoughts about it and might restructure the RP to a more traditional apply for the character you want.

This is interesting.

Sadly, I still don't have the time to write much – but I will be reading.

@Morden Man

I'm just happy to see you're still around!

Just been discussing some of the finer points with a few other experienced GMs to try and work out the best way to approach the continuity and timescales of the RP.

@Lord Wraith well you got a flash, I keep trying to nab him in Comic games.

@Sep

I was more meaning I was going to write an arc as a team of characters but I'm sure we could collaborate something out as well.

In two days technically speaking.

Pending interest and initial applicants, I have a team arc I really want to play out.
