I wouldn't know what that is because that would require me to post in the first place.

Guy who checks his Guild notifications at work, says he'll reply to them when he gets home and promptly forgets. Oops.

Apologies for the radio silence lately. Been a combination of very busy and distracted by other hobbies so I haven't made much time to post. Entirely my fault, honestly. I'll hopefully have something up this upcoming Sunday- soo three days from now.


Looking forward to it.

I'm a bit under the weather at the moment, but I'll get my next Spidey post up when I've recovered.
The following players have not yet replied in the OOC or PMed me directly; thus, they will be moved to inactive status tomorrow. After fourteen additional days of no contact/posts, they will be removed from the roster entirely and their characters will be available for others to apply for: @Supermaxx @Natty @Webboysurf @Redcord




On a cheerier note, @Megsychan is accepted as Flag-Smasher. You can add your sheet to the Character tab and begin posting in the IC at your convenience.

If I don't have something up this week, kick me.



@TGM@Sep Starting Monday, if either of you is unable to get a post up by the two-week deadline, I can move you to inactive status since you're still expressing a desire to participate.

@Bork Lazer Glad to know you're still working on a post for this.

I'm still around; just needed a nudge to get me back on task.


Awesome, glad to hear it. Hopefully, the GM post is the nudge needed now that you no longer have to wait to post.
I'm aiming to change how I do the next mini-event so as to eliminate the risk of long wait periods. I don't want people to feel like they can't join in on an event at risk of being held up.

Hey, really excited to hear that you think it looks good and that you're happy that I wanted to deal with the political elements of superheroes. When I saw the timeline, I got really inspired to include mentions of the Wide Awake movement because I thought it'd fit well with the themes I wanted to go for.

While I wait for the 48 hour time period to end, I do want to say that I did PM Redcord right before writing this message to get the ball rolling to see if he's ok with my concept or not. However, I just wanted to inquire if there is a discord server or anything along those lines for this RP, for faster communication? Not a big deal if there isn't, but I know some RPs here do have discords for that reason.


No Discord for this. Experience tells us that Discord servers usually lead to a faster decline in RP interaction because OOCs don't get enough attention. Of course... it seems like people don't want to talk in this OOC anyway, so.

You can always ask to add people individually, though, if you're looking to collaborate quicker.

chiming in to say i'm still here. i've mostly recovered from my illness, but to be honest, i wasn't going to post because i was anticipating the event being moved along—i didn't want to potentially throw a wrench in the plans with an unseen post if you had, say, half the work done on the next GM post with what was already there. maybe an error in communication on my part, but regardless, i'm back on board for the foreseeable future. i should have a post out by the end of the week at the very latest, most likely sometime over the weekend.


Sounds good! Communication here is always better that way I know for sure without assuming. But you're all good. I made sure not to control Vision in any way for the GM post, but I did carry on from your last post to make sure things could be wrapped up sooner.

@Retired

I've been recovering from whatever the hell I caught; for the most part, I should be ready to get into the swing of things by next week (mental creativity for posting willing ofc).


Glad to hear you're making a recovery. I'm sure you saw, but I minorly controlled Quentin to wrap up your participation in the event. When you next post, you should be free to continue on with any solo plans you had.
@Retired Sorry, I thought I posted on here. I am, unfortunately, not going to be pursuing this, though I wish you all the best <3


Thank you for letting me know.




A short GM post progressing the event is up, and wrapping up Mysterio's involvement as Mintz is currently out of commission. The event itself can be conncluded by @AndyC at his purview once the combat between Armadillo and Thing is resolved. He and @udonoodles are free to have the FF and Vision discuss the events or just end the chapter entirely by having the Major Crimes Unit arrive on the scene to handle the cleanup.

Mortimer Norris watched in disbelief as his heist descended into the worst clusterfuck he'd ever encountered in his criminal career. The big, dumb idiot in the truck had been bad enough, but the hasty intervention of New York's spandex enforcers just fouled the entire operation beyond recovery. They had planned for such things, of course. You don't pull a job in broad daylight on the streets of the Big Apple without expecting a grandstanding cape or two to make themselves known. No, it wasn't the presence of the heroes that royally fucked things up for him and his crew; it was the ridiculously low response time of not one, not two, but six costumed do-gooders.

They had planned the time and place of the heist specifically because it offered them the greatest time between initiating the assault and escaping before the law or the vigilantes could show up. Mort's employer, the Big Man, had even accounted for the fact that the Fantastic Fuckers would be giving a planned interview during the job. Yet, the little shits had arrived in record time, and thanks to the Roxxon-hired freak who had been riding shotgun in the tanker holding Mort and his men up, the Four had managed to send things all to pot.

To make matters worse, when Mort had tried to stealthily access the tanker's hold with a plasma cutter during the height of the melee, some black-haired cape he'd never seen or heard of before lifted the entire damned thing into the sky. And now, the career criminal was staring up at a skyscraper-sized weirdo wearing a fishbowl. As far as Mortimer was concerned, all six of the assholes could suck a big fat one.

To say that Mortimer Norris was having a very bad day would be an understatement.

It was a day he was done with. Turning away from the rapidly dwindling fight, as more and more of his men were taken down, Mortimer attempted to flee the scene. Slowly and quietly as to draw little attention to himself, he began making his way through the maze of vehicles that had been abandoned at the start of the attack. As he reached the sidewalk and began to round the corner of an alley unnoticed, he nearly ran straight into one of his men exiting that same byway.

"The fuck are you doing down here?" Mort demanded, his usually calm and assured demeanor completely shredded by the events of the last few minutes. Now he had a turncoat to deal with. "Whatever, forget it. We're getting out of here."

Mortimer stepped past the man and tapped the rifle he gripped. "Make yourself useful and make sure no one follows, yeah?"

"Goddamned wankers," Mortimer muttered as he entered the alleyway. He made it barely four steps before he felt the heavy butt of an automatic rifle collide with the base of his skull, and the world went dark.

Underneath the illusionary form of the armed criminal Mortimer had run into, the masked man known as Mysterio gave a slight grin.

Mortimer Norris was assuredly having a bad day.
