I'm not necessarily against a new IC, but i do believe it's unnecessary. Also, i think it'll play havoc with people trying to catch up with what's already happened having to go back and forth between 2 different threads. My vote would be no new thread, but it's not a "That's it, i'm done, bye!" if it does happen.

I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

Sorry for disappearing for 2 months. Life kinda went to shit and RPG was pushed to the back of my mind.

Sure! I totally agree.
However, since 2013, these games with each passing year have gotten less interactive, less collaborative, and less concerned with the shared universe element. They became rather isolated, like we were simply using the games to host a few chapters of stories disconnected with one another, with no connective tissue, and strict lines in the sand about interaction and strict parentage. That is not, in my mind, in the spirit of role-play. That aside, yeah, coming into a thread and being dismissive of the fic writer approach isn’t good either. I’ve always argued there needs to be a balance between the two schools; the two philosophies of independent/solo writer and role-player. I know for a fact multiple people don’t even read other people’s posts, so at that point, that is a problem.
Before the exodus of players, I think we did a good job of getting back to that balance. Events in other posts have been mentioned, collaborative posts have brought in different people to conclude situations, and we had a really good pace of play as well. This RP has been the strongest in terms of activity and interplay we’ve seen in a few years, so it is good to see.
Now how that shakes going forward, well, we’ll have to see.
Im of the "I could go either way" catagory. Honestly, its nice solitairing with people watching and leaving feedback as well as giving feedback on other peoples solitairing. But at the same time, i do like the interactiveness. Makes the world feel bigger.
Honestly, its one of the reasons i wanted to bring the Lanterns idea into this. After my first post, there's gonna be 5 rings zipping around Earth, grabbing random people and raising hell. In fact, before Wraith left, i was gonna ask him if he wanted to collab on one of the Luthors getting grabbed by the Orange ring.
Point is, if anyone wants to do any story where one of their characters gets grabbed by a ring, i not only endorse but actively encourage it. Makes the world feel bigger.
@Sep Sorry for being an idiot if i missed something, but who's the current leader of S.W.O.R.D.? I read through, but didn't see a specific name mentioned. Is it Abigail Brand? Or is this S.W.O.R.D. a subdivision of S.H.I.E.L.D. like the old days?
Hmmm how quickly can I write a GL sheet....
Sep on his way to make a bomb-ass Kyle Rayner story just to spite Matt.
@Half Pint As grateful as i am for the accept, isn't there a 24 hour grace period for someone else to make a sheet?
Also, after talking with Ezekiel, i decided to change the villain of my sheet from Ronan to Despero. I think it'd be easier all-round.
@Sep
S.H.I.E.L.D.: Deals with Terrestrial threats to the world.
S.W.O.R.D.: Deals with Extra-Terrestrial threats to the world.
A.R.M.O.R.: Deals with Extra-Dimensional threats to the world.
This is an Extra-Terrestrial force creating Terrestrial threats to the world. It could be either, but i've changed it to S.W.O.R.D. to better fit the established stuff.

My problem with Discord is that my phone doesn't accept it, so it means i can't check the discussions on the go.
@Sep As i put in the sheet, i suspected that the fact that the threats are mostly going to be "Ring takes over human and goes on rampage" I was thinking it'd be more under S.H.I.E.L.D. But if you think it'd be better for S.W.O.R.D. then absolutely i'll make that change.
