From here on out, we are a dressing room sandbox game. Use the oh_marvelous comm for all threading, memes, and what_ifs. If you want to keep doing stuff in the barrier universe just tag it with !verse: base. Since we've got it all established, we may as well just use it as a base. If you think you'll replay in any of the universes you're writing in, make up a universe name and tag it with !verse:___ <--- whatever you name your universe, like noir, PR, teahouse, butts, etc. Any iteration of a character can remain under the !___ <---character name tag.

There's no limits, you can be any version of your characters or characters nobody else is playing. If you need a journal added to the community, then join here. Whenever you add a character just tell me who it is, and I'll keep a running list of who has what journal in the player page.

As ever, f-lock your smut, though.

Anyone is welcome and encouraged to put up stuff anytime, but I'll make sure there's some kind of new group thing (meme or what_if type thing) put up every couple weeks.

Questions/comments/concerns?

Allright, folks, let's talk about a reboot. Here are the things that'll likely happen with it and changes I'll be making:

( WORDS. SO MANY WORDS )



This was a lot, I am sorry. Questions! Comments! Concerns! And let's start deciding what characters we want, and figuring out the "Game History" based on who we're keeping. Don't feel obligated to keep any character for anybody else, this is a new start, clean slate. Do what feels best for you and makes you want to play.

Edit: Okay so thinking about the "origin" thing, I feel two things should be clarified.
First, although we're doing the 3:1 day thing, and time passes so we can do you know seasons and holidays, as far as character ages the actual aging thing doesn't need to happen unless it's relevant for your plot. Be "mid 20s" or "late 30s" or whatever forever.
Second, so when I say origins I mean more like adapting the origin story, but letting us all have a clean slate. Basically that your origin story has happened but other canon "stuff" you'd have to slog through in 616 to build a character history hasn't. If your origin requires that your character be particularly young, but you don't want them to be, we can easily develop work-arounds for that. You're totally allowed to retool and build your history by pulling from canon.

Edit 2: Basically ignore the origins thing, I realize it doesn't necessarily work for everybody well (which isn't to say you can't use it, but you don't have to). As long as we can work it in and write it down, it's fine. Open super-heroing as a concept can be newer in the world (newer as in five years to a decade versus like 50+ years of forever like in comics), which isn't to say that super-powered individuals haven't been around for awhile, doing their stuff quietly.

Okay folks, serious talk. Are we finished? If we are, that's fine, we had a long run and it was fun. If we're not, that's fine too, I'm willing to keep trying if everyone else is. I just want to know definitively what everybody wants.

Again I'm willing to keep going, but everyone has to want it, too. We can make monumental changes, we could even do a full reboot, whatever everyone thinks would work. Or we can end with several years of good times and memories. If we do end the game proper, we could keep the What If for memes, AUs, or scenes/drabbles between characters and just be able to keep casually writing with each other. I would still love to write with everybody in whatever capacity you want to. Regardless of what we decide, it's been great and I love you all <3

REBOOT IDEAS

-Overarching plot & structure/narrower scope/setting-wide plot to go alongside character-focused (trapped in NYC with wormholes spitting out monsters and leading to weird places/making weird stuff happen in NYC?)
-Non-real time (set up calendar to follow)
-NYC-centric
-No-Xmen, lol

HAPPY SIXTH BIRTHDAY OH MARVELOUS!



As our game leaves kindergarten and goes into first grade, let us remember what life was like when we were born.

( On Your Birthday )

We've had our ups and downs, I love all of you and this game more than I can express. it's been a lovely six years with you all, here's to many more!

Have a meme.

What have your characters been doin' in space since September?

The Space Station It's part of a big ass Dyson Sphere that will eventually envelope the sun but for now it's hanging out behind it like a weird hair piece. Top scientists have described it as 'completely self sustaining, energy wise, and literally just being a big ol' planet exploding weapon.' It was the brain child of Tony Stark in collusion with an alien race, the Shi'ar (weird hair, partial to mutant guys in wheelchairs). It has partially terraformed living levels complete with cities of uniform energy efficient buildings housing homes and medical buildings and pretty much whatever you'd need to survive in space. There are areas devoted to laboratories, to ship bays, to workshops. Also there is a command center place currently run by the Shi'ar buuut we'll get to that later.


A scale model of the Dyson Sphere. Earth is like the size of the angry sun's eye, so this thing is just massive.


Politics
S.H.I.E.L.D. is gunning to run the place, like they do, which shouldn't be too hard since the Shi'ar are just paid to be there anyway and they probably don't give a fuck. But you know who does give a fuck? The former governments of Earth. There's a power struggle happening among humans because that is just how they operate. It doesn't help that various living areas were assigned (after much bitching by their former leaders) to different nations to inhabit. Still, large as this place is, it's easy for 'countries' to keep to themselves. Most places have adopted similar governments to those they had on earth, but here there is at least an attempt at collaboration between scientists and engineers and leaders have frequent meetings in the command center to squabble. Thanks to the patchwork nature of building once the Shi'ar left, different countries have different looks and architecture.

This isn't Earth but it's the best we've got, welcome to the future~

So I love all of you and this game and I'm not ready to give it up. But I do realize that we need a big change to bring up our enthusiasm and draw in new players. That something, I hope, is space. Now before I really get into this let me say that this is all just ideas, so if anyone is not on board don't be afraid to say so and we'll come up with something else.

( This is a lot of words, I am sorry )

Hey all, welcome Katie, our new Wolverine (kuakuoku)! Friend button updated.

Hey all, update your Friend button because Alex has returned with a new name (fuckpoptarts) and a new face!

Hiiii bbs. This is a (long overdue) plot post. So, you know, plot away! Tell me your hopes and dreams.

Tar has taken up Red She-Hulk (bigredbroad)! Friend button updated.

Halloween is just around the corner so let's talk our yearly Halloween stuff and things. I've got a general premise, but haven't hammered out the details. I figure we can get them filled in here. Okay so, premise is these portals randomly appear and whether you decide to step on through or get too close and get sucked in (or just completely ignore them and go about your day's errands so that your character doesn't have to participate if you don't want them to), you end up in a horror movie. Or rather, a horror movie 'genre'. The chat's been really stupid about letting me scroll back so I can't go look at the ideas we came up with before but I know there was stuff like slasher, aliens, evil dolls, ghosts, vampires, creatures, anything you can think of. The format will be a main post and then different threads of each genre within the post. We just have some stuff we need to figure out.

( So here are the ideas I have- )

Josh has taken up Electro (electric_might). Friend button updated.

HAPPY FOURTH BIRTHDAY OH MARVELOUS!

Also, Noss has finished his Iron Fist app (ipitythefu). The friend button is updated.

Devon has taken up Thor (godsfliptables) and Gambit (petitdiable)!

EDIT: I am also using this to relate some news. Josh is back! He's dropped Gorgon and Spider-Man's on hold, but he's bringing back Hawkeye, Namor, and Calvin. :)

Hey everybody! We've got two new players, Dawn who will be playing Black Widow (deadlieststing) and Anna who will be playing Bucky Barnes (buchananbarnes). Friend button's updated.

So here's everybody's chance introduce yourselves, and maybe discuss connections your characters might already have or plan out future plots.

EDIT: The link to the friend button actually works now, sorry about that.
