Roommates

So, I was working on cleaning up the Wiki, and there are a lot of the newer toons not on the roommate list.

I still need to know what sort of room Cyc, and Icarus are in at Haven, and where Tinker lives.

Also if any of the 'OPEN's want to room together. :D

Help me clean! )

A Farewell

I bring sad news today, Ariel has decided to leave the game. Please wish her the best and update your friends lists. Jubilee, Northstar and Pixie area available to be applied for again. Because of the current size of the game, the option to apply for 5th characters is going to be temporary closed... those who have already turned in apps for 5th characters don't panic, you're ok. Once the game expands in size again we will look at re-opening 5th character options, but for now the limit is back down to four characters per person, will update the FAQ shortly.

I know this opens up a few wanted lines again, please be sure to update the Wanted Page with story lines and characters you want, this helps immensely with advertising and bringing in new players. Expect a big event this weekend, hope you all will enjoy it!

Here's my dilemma: I need something to do with Nick. He's a former lieutenant commander and fighter pilot in Navy's air force. He's the son of a senator and Spanish royalty and a former bum. He'd been experimented on for about a year before escaping. His powers are flight at mach 1 or above (he needs a special suit for that though) and super strength (given to him by the wonderful scientists that had experimented on him). You'd think I'd find something for him to do but alas, I'm having a hard time fitting him in. I don't want to just drop him because I mean look at him. He's gorgeous.

So does anyone have any suggestions? He's on the X-Men team by the way.

Big plot, get in now!

Okay gang, here's the word. We're getting ready for a big event involving the Sentinel plot. This is going to involve precog/telepath/dream invasion. I'm going to be basing a lot of events off of your input in this thread, if you've not put up some ideas for your characters there in the dark future already, please post a few ideas here. But... there's something more I need from each of you. That is:

How receptive/shielded are the minds of each of your characters?

This is important as I will be shelling out bits of plot for each character to know. The more receptive/open the mind is, the more details/longer vision they can have, the more shielded they might only have a brief glimpse. I want to make this a fun, involved event and thus I don't want information distributed evenly. A wide variety of reactions to this will make it more interesting, we want those who think it's just a nightmare, those who don't remember the 'dream' until they see something/someone to trigger the memory as well as those who are paranoid/frightened by it.

So, please let me know how much of the experience you'd like your characters to have. Hopefully this will not only generate some new excitement, but give characters (and players!) more of a reason to talk and put it all together.

The X-Men Training Threads

Okay, so! Now that Jamie has stopped making an ass of himself and acutally issued some leaderly commands, I wanted to make it official so everyone can see, since the thread is now a bit old.

X-Men are going to pair up and practice together in the danger room two days a week. This means that Person A and Person B will team up one week, then Person A and Person C the next week, and on through the list. Obviously these do not have to be played out, (and I'm not going to try and schedule/assign these so feel free to grab other players at will) but I want to point out this is going on as it can provide some good fodder for scenes! Characters getting ready to train together for the first time, talking after the first or second session, watching another pair practice before or after them, hanging out after the practice, etc. If you've not been sure how to get your character to interact with another, here's a good excuse!

If you need ideas for this, feel free to ask. As for the Danger Room programs, much can be done. There's robotics and holograms involved at this point, so it can use various settings and opponents. Want your X-Man to try their hand against Sabretooth or a SENTINEL? The Danger Room can do that, so go for it! Go nuts and stay awesome!

Heeey guys. Scout here with Paige Guthrie AKA Husk.

Also, saying goodbye to Harrison Halfax AKA Rascal. It just sort of progressed to that and I feel really good about how he turned out. It's nice to be in a community where the writers are okay with pursuing difficult scenes like that with loved characters. Thank you Ben for the scene and everyone else for being in general amazing.

Now I'm bringing in Husk to the Haven and actually she just might fill in some void Harrison left. Expect her to randomly be cleaning the crap out of some part of the mansion or making huge dinners for everyone because she is used to doing all of this back home. I can see her being a little bit of a saucy mc saucerpants too so if you want sass she'll give it to you. She's gonna be the type of person who will take charge whether you want her to or not. Just don't call her Momma Paige haha.

Also, she might gross people out with her shedding thing, just fyi.

Leeets plot!

The Guthrie invasion!

Time to go update your friends lists, as we have two new characters today! Scout is bringing in Husk while Ben is bringing in a new face, Icarus. Both are showing up at the Haven, please give them a warm welcome and start your plotting!

Check and F-list

The activity check has gone down and notes have been sent. Thank you to everyone who passed!

Emily has had to leave the game for now thanks to the dreaded real life, please wish her well! While you're at it, head over to the friends list to update. Havok, Hrimhari and Warpath are open again.

Be sure to get your characters into the precog vision below, if you want in on it. Expect that plot to grow quickly and be ready for some more team action for the X-Men!

Massive updates!

The cast and various info pages have been updated. This update includes the writing out of Rictor, Shatterstar, Wisdom, Rube and Counterfeit, as well as the removal of Polaris from the game, Forge from NPC status and Shaman moving to NPC status. This also covers the removal of the Excalibur team. Lots of juggling so I am sure I messed something up somewhere. If you see anything that is missing, out of date, incorrect, etc, please let me know, mod email or dropbox is the the best route to go.

There are a few apps which are being held off on for various reasons, but expect to see some new characters this weekend! Hurray! Until then, go hit the friends button to get your lists up to date with the recent changes.

Final reminder, activity check goes down this Friday, make sure your characters have been in a thread on or after the 1st to pass. Lastly, I won't be around tomorrow night, just giving a heads up in case someone assumes I died. Provided I survive the subway system, I should return alive and well on Friday.

More info and events will come on the Sentinels plot soon, hope you're all excited about it!

Activty reminder!

Reminder to all, activity check happens a week from today, so make sure your characters have each been in a thread on or after the 1st to pass!

Also, we've had a few characters dropped, including Polaris, Rascal and Wither. Polaris and Wither are available to be applied again, in the mean time you can update your friends list or stall for a few days, when a few more characters will be written out.

As a side note, Gmail Manger has stopped working correctly. Anyone who uses it might want to double-check your accounts for tags as it is no longer 'reading' new emails. If I seem exceptionally slow to answer a tag or a mod email, poke me on AIM as I am still looking for a replacement for it!

Star says: come as you are!

Hey guys!

So as you may have noticed, Ric's rescue has finally been posted. Between RL and IJ being a prick we hadn't had a chance to get this started. just confirming, who's coming to that party? i'm holding off tagging Star to that thread to give people a chance to react, because the moment he sees that video, he's going to have a big (surprise!)reaction and we're immediately going to be transported to the thick of the fight.

please reply here if you want your kids to come. if you have more than one pup in the Brotherhood, we understand and almost prefer if you just bring one of them, to avoid the extra messy group thread woes, lol. just let me know, thanks!!!

NOTEs:
1. Pair up! That way you can play the NPC villains for each other.
2. Everyone will play their own NPC's to fight, these are drug and gun runners militias, and maybe there's a mercenary mutant or three in the bunch. Go crazy.
3. Rictor will of course be found by Shatterstar XD

Hey, y'all. So, as you've probably noticed, I haven't been active lately, and I'm afraid to say I won't be for a while. Work is sucking the life out of me, and it's worse now that one of my coworkers has gone on maternity leave, and I'm picking up about HALF of her hours. I'll be working 50-60 hours a week, and it just doesn't leave much time for RP, especially in a fast-paced game with complex plotting like this. I'm going to withdraw Reed from the game for the time being. If things in my real life slow down after a few months, I'd very much like to bring him back, because I think this is a fantastic game with talented players.

I talked things over with Ben, and he's going to have Bryan leave campus with Reed. We'll be doing an exit scene for them soon. Reed will be given a job offer he can't refuse, and he's going to invite Bryan to come with him, thinking Bryan could really use a break from all the mutant stuff after being held captive.

I hope you'll all stay in touch, and feel free to pester me whenever on AIM to just chat! I'm not able to thread at work, but I can IM whenever. My SN is tehstarbuck.

Stan Lee!

Since I posted about Ryan Reynolds, I figure I should about The Man, since it's even more relevant to the game. I was 10 feet from Stan Lee today!! He got his star on the Walk of Fame and I was able to dash across the street and get photos. Crowd was not insane and my friend loaned me an AMAZING camera. Still, I'm short and people in front were tall, so I was having to shoot high and blind, so I didn't get as good a photos as I would have liked. But I have two great ones, even if they're not of the ceremony itself.

Pics under the cut! )

Farewells and New Years

As you likely have seen, Mike has decided to leave the game. Please wish him well! Likewise, Mercury has been dropped, so Cable, Mercury and Pyro are all available once again. Please update your friends lists accordingly.

Activity check happens tonight and we wish you all a very happy new year as we head into 2011! Don't forget, you can backdate threads if you want to write your character(s) having some wile new years times. Expect some big plot to start popping up soon, keep your eyes open for it!

[info]leadstheway

Hey folks.

It's been a long time coming, and I doubt anyone is going to be particularly surprised by it, but I'm going to be dropping Cable and Pyro, and taking my leave from the game. For whatever reason I'm just not meshing with the setting and situations well enough to enjoy playing it, and I have quite literally gone the three weeks of the last activity check without even opening the tabs to look at the game, so it's time to call it. I wish everyone the best in their continued playing and such here, and in whatever else they have going on. Thank you for the bit of time I did spend here, and happy holidays all around.

So, we are going today at 11:15 my time to put my puppy to sleep.  He's in too much pain and I can't deal with it anymore.  He kept me up all night crying and he kept coming up to me and nosing me to do something and it broke my heart.  I don't know if I'll be scarce afterward or if I'll desperately want distraction, but either way, FYI.

Hay guyz! Sorry I've been super slow about tagging, I got sucked into the holidays more than previously predicted >:I BUT IT WAS WORTH IT, BECAUSE I WON DRUNK MONOPOLY!

Anyway I tagged everyone I owe, I think! Who needs to thread someone? Let's brainstorm, I need to throw Kevin and Pixie at someone and I'm totes out of ideas for good OTAs. Jubes and JP can also make appearances if you should so desire, I think JP is gonna chill out now that he's aware of JM's, like, existence.

Also, the check for this long activity period is happening on Friday, so please make sure each of your characters has been in a thread on or after the 11th to pass! Stay awesome!

Hello all, we have a new player to the game today! Lexi is bringing us Destiny, who is going to be joining the Brotherhood just as soon as she gets a rescue pulled off. Scarlet Witch has stepped up and is currently the team leader of the Brotherhood, so there's some easy plottage right there! Please give Lexi a warm welcome and update your friends lists.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
