Marvel Dystopia OOC

Greetings Players! This is our first World Building exercise. Here, everyone is invited and encouraged to contribute ideas on how we can flesh out more of what Dystopia is. We designed Dystopia as a framework to be built upon by not just the mods, but players too! We are a community of creative individuals and when we put our minds together, fireworks happen. If you have a simple idea, a complicated, or an off the wall idea, we want to hear it! Bring it on.

On the FAQs page, you'll see we've added a little more information on THE WATCHER (no, not Uatu) and GENERAL world information to try and paint a better picture of what we have in mind, without revealing too much about the overall game-plot. Hopefully this helps guide you into better understanding things like the 50 years of decay and why some things aren't how they should be.

Before we get started, here are some posting rules & guidelines that we ask everyone to follow!

( Rules & Guidelines )

We'll leave the discussion open for comments for a period of time and afterwards, will call a halt in order for us to compile the information and ideas together into a comprehensive format. Once that is done, we'll make it available for everyone to access! We started us off with a few topics already, but it is by no means limited to those areas. Start your own and get the ball rolling!

[IMPORTANT EDIT] If you run into a kink in the discussion stream and absolutely need mod input for a ruling before continuing, ping us directly in email to get our attention! We'll reply ASAP!

On your mark, get set, GO!

Discussion Closed
Thanks everyone!
Stand By For Summary

Hi everyone! The game is kicking off this weekend and we are thrilled to get underway! We will be posting an OPEN thread for all characters to tag into on July 25th. Feel free to have your character's pod arrive at any point during the day and at any location of your choice. Before the game launch, there are a few things we'd like all players to take note of.

Read the RULES and the FAQs again just to re-familiarize yourself. Especially the FAQs! They contain important world information you'll need to know before tagging (i.e. the ONLY items your character will be arriving with in their pod).

And while we're on the subject of world, if you have any cool ideas to add to world building Dystopia, PLEASE by all means hit up the DROPBOX and tell us about them!

Every character journal will be required to have your Marvel Dystopia application posted where prospective players can see and get a feel for the game. Remember, we're building our characters's histories from Day 1 this Saturday, and your applications will need to be continuously updated with in-game events. (Having your personal contact information on your public application is not required, but a contact post is very helpful for prospective players who have questions.)

In addition to having your application up, each character journal is required to have icons uploaded and ready to use. We're not going to force you to have 100 icons of your character PB, but a variety of expressions is the spice of life here on IJ, and we want to see your PB play the character you've written for them!

Run the FRIEND ADD on your character journals! Communication-type messages will be utilizing these journals, not the IC game community. If you're not friended, you'll miss important things!

Activity requirements will kick in starting in August and will include the thread that is going up on July 25th.

Any players who have been accepted into the game but have not yet accepted community invitations will be removed on Launch Day and will need to re-apply.

We now have a WANTED PAGE! (Banner coming soon!) Post your wanted ads ASAP. We'll be doing more game advertising all this week and that's one of the places prospective players will be looking for character ideas.

So until Saturday, buckle in and get ready for the swarm!
