PPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!

128 is not weirdly specific. It's a multiple of 2! It's 2^6! That's used in a whole bunch of computerized things.

Multiverse: You are the Character 1.5

I'm going to post a response, just so my position, intentions, and opinions are clear. Note that much of this information could be biased, coming as it is from the OP for this thread. I will endeavor to make plain what parts are fact, as best I can determine them.

I do not hold any grievance towards the "Originals" (the first "Multiverse: You are the Character" members and creators). I did not come up with an original concept for this RP. I saw the old RP on this site a long time ago (before I even registered, and obviously before The Great Guildfall of 1-2014), noticed it again on TVTropes, and thought it would be fun to join. I poked around on the site to see if it was alive. Failing to find it, I asked on the IRC a few times to see if there was anyone around who was involved with the original RP. Having failed to contact any of the Originals in this manner, I took it upon myself to recreate it.

Had I thought to search for the users involved, or perhaps create a thread in Spam, I may have ended up in contact with the Originals and therefore would not have created this RP.

From the Originals' point of view, as best I understand it, here's what happened: They started "Multiverse You are the Character", here on Roleplayer Guild. It failed. Someone re-started it. It went spectacularly. So spectacularly, in fact, and drawing so many members to it, that they felt it merited its own website. After (some number of years, I imagine), they created their own website, and moved the RP there. Then along comes me, recreating the same roleplay (almost explicitly) with the same title. That could be an issue; especially considering how it seems like I was stealing potential RP'ers from them.

That seemed silly to me; after all, I just wanted to play as my Siren-based avatar. Now realizing that their RP was still alive, I decided to try and redirect interest toward them.

I do not, personally, believe that anybody has ill-will directed towards anybody else for whatever reason. So let's not make that mistake.

Now, seeing the previous arguments here, I can see the potential for a separate, inspired by Multiverse You are the Character. I even laid a few potential roots down for it, with my characters-from-franchises are deities (more or less) angle. I think that's fine, as long as the original RP is noted as an inspiration. However, I'm pretty full-up on RP's at the moment; further, I'd like to distance myself from the drama that (I see) this thread attracting.

On that note, I'd like to recommend two actions:

1. Creation of a separate RP (not by me). People seem to be doing this naturally. Good.
2. Creation of an Off-Topic Discussion thread so we have a forum to civilly and informedly talk about some of the interesting points this incident raises. Such as: at what point does an RP become no longer associated with the Guild? When it makes a new website?; Is there an unspoken rule of RP "copyright infringement"? These topics seem interesting to me and important to more than just us.

CUSTOM AVATARS WOOO!

Your avatar isn't 128 by 128...

It is, actually. The rest of it is just the same color as the post background. For those OCD, you might notice that it's not properly centered! Yay!

CUSTOM AVATARS WOOO!

Finally.

Woah. Upgrade to the G. It's got shaders now. I'm mildly impressed.

Lt. Cmdr Thomas turned toward Astridh, considering her words. Suddenly, he felt ridiculous. No wonder Captain West hated sitting in this thing. He bloody well felt like Captain Kirk. He'd always hated that show. "I'll bring it up, but it's my understanding that these sheilds perform admirably against directed energy weapons." Captain West contacted him through the radio. He radioed back, "Thank you, Captain. They've all performed," he spared a glance at Logan's direction, "quite well. We'll be back upstairs in five minutes." Speaking to the crew again, he said, "All right, pack up. We're going back upstairs where we belong. You've got five minutes to be at your posts."

Creon thought about the Logan problem. Well, it wasn't a problem. Yet. He'd have to watch Logan closely. If Logan didn't adjust to being responsible for dozens of lives, then Creon would reccomend a visit to the ship's psychiatrist. If Logan still didn't adjust after that, well. They could find another pilot. It still wouldn't hurt to talk to him. Creon made a mental note to intercept Logan in the corridor before his next watch. A speech was forming in Creon's head.

"I don't know, and I don't care about what you're used to, but on this ship, your ship...."

Dr. Ishpetyr stared at the readouts he was getting from the core. Something was wrong. Not with the core itself, but with the interfacing and interpretation hardware that let Earth tech access it. The problem first made itself known in a small bug in the Asgard transportation sequence. It had to be something fairly obscure, however, as the other scientists had already triple checked the software for bugs. Again.

Meanwhile, Dr. Victoria Petroikya was going through the entire crystal matrix, one crystal at a time. Quite a few parts of the operation were flying past Dr. Ishpetyr's head, but he didn't need to know how to fix the core; he just needed to know how to put the right people in the right places with the right data. Which was one of the reasons he'd assigned Dr. Petroikya to the crystals.

She was, Abel admitted, quite attractive. A fact that he was exploiting. As she (competently, of course) pored of the the knee-height crystals, several of the other researchers (all unmarried, but of course, competent) were practically falling over themselves to impress her. Two of the researchers were currently trying to outclass each other with their knowledge of quantum computing, just loudly enough for Victoria to hear. He estimated that they'd figure out the bug in three hours or less. The whole situation was rather amusing, to be frank.

"Dr. Ishpetyr, the 302s recovered a piece of the debris we've just flown through, if your department wants to have a look at it. It'll be waiting for you in rack 3 in the hangar."

Interesting.

Abel paused at the doorway before he left. He'd had a thought. "Victoria - you're in charge. Do try to fix it before we have to beam up something important." He thumbed his radio. "Dr. Ishpetyr to Bishop. Meet me in the hangar bay, please."

I am a even better person then Squee.

I didn't read any of the posts here, either! Good boy! Have two cupcakes.
