Re: My Opinion
Because the Marvel Universe is just that, and because this game is based on the X-Men/Marvel films which are all merging and morphing into one cohesive existence, Leigh and I believe that the appearance of other characters is completely understandable, as well as interesting and plot-provoking. It was discussed in August, here. Those who responded all chose that option (X-Celebs) as their preference from the list of provided plot possibilities. We've had this in the works for ages. Iron Man is a new addition, but can only help things along, as he is both a celebrity and a superhero. The Fantastic Four was a bit of a joke, with the question mark and parenthesis. I don't think we'd allow anyone to pick them up unless it was one of the moderators, or if they were NPCs. But for now, Iron Man is all we're dealing with, and he's being played by a member who has been around since the start of the game. Granted, I haven't heard feedback from all of the members about Iron Man being in the game, but five people seem happy about the idea. That's a majority.
But yeah, all of these 'we's you referenced don't really apply. I post all of my characters when I have a chance to, and I plot for all of them as well. Personally, I have over a dozen, and those who've been more developed and have more connections do get posted more frequently, but they do not get left behind or ignored when I make a new character. I can pretty much say the same for everyone else. We do add a lot of new characters; but I think it's because so many members that we've gotten over the summer have disappeared and we feel like having more characters to interact with. It's hard to do that when people flake. I think we have a great group of newcomers at the moment, though. I'd just like to see more communication and interactions, as always. But that's a given. XD
