The New Ultimate DC RPG: Sign-Up/OOC Thread

[Saved]

I'm on now.

 

[Spike_x1]

Alright, so I got delayed from posting, but now I've officially finished moving back to university for the new semester. My Internet connection is once again decent here at my dorm room, and classes haven't begun yet, so I have no excuses for not getting any posts up tonight.

...Unless I can't find Andy on MSN...

 

[Spike_x1]

Ah, high speed Hype. Just as much disappointment, only faster.

 

[Andy C.]

Heh, sorry Spike, I've been in Atlanta all weekend for Dragon*Con. I'll be back home tomorrow, which means I can get some Luthor and Wondy stuff up.

[Catman_prb]

I cannot get a decent post up until tomorrow, but I will definately get it sorted then.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I guess I can have Selina making a sandwich or something since Star'ro is taking forever to defeat.

 

[sabetoonth]

I have a feeling that Victor is going to get sued...becuase he basically amputated people when they was Star'ro drones, emotional distress, medical bills for the pothstesis..prothestesises...plural of prothstetic. Thank god im taking Law and Order

Your high school has a class entitled, "Law and Order"?

 

[sabetoonth]

"Law and Order: Introduction to Legal Studies"

Might want to work on your grammar and spelling, then. All you do in that field is write and it matters. One screw up, and your name is mud forever.

 

[J'adore]

Thank God for spellcheck

Bleh.

I swore that I'd posted a reply to Byrd. Teh internets is fail.

Random act of SuperBrat coming... as soon as I sober up...

 

[Andy C.]

Yeeoowwza, I let this one really get away from me, didn't I? I'll have a Lex post up shortly, and a WW post later tonight hopefully.

 

[Saved]

Apologies to those in/waiting for arcs involving my characters. First week of college hit me kinda hard so I'll be catching up and getting my act together in the next few days.

And the mega slacker finally posts!

I know, I know... hold the applause. *bows*

With 9 IC posts left in this cycle, I'm going to jump the gun and put up my noms for awards. I have no doubt the remaining posts will be continuing already established stories, so there most likely will be no change in my decisions.

Best Hero: Dick Grayson, Green Lantern

I love how GL’s developing Dick right now – the whole idea behind his motive and what drives him. The idea that the most well known sidekick in the business actually hates his superhero counterpart (to be?) is so interesting. Dick Grayson is definently ultimate in this rpg, and when he and Batman finally meet, watch out.

Honorable Mentions: Flash – Byrd Man, Atom - MST3K

Best Villain: Bane, Spike_x1

The slow progression of this dangerous rogue is so interesting to read. Each time I finish a post I can’t help but think, “Man – when he lets lose, Gotham’s screwed.” Eagerly anticipating the future Spike has planned for this epic villain.

Best 'Walking The Line': J’onn J’onnz, Catman_prb

When Catman picked up J’onn, I had no clue what he had planned. Little did I know he was orchestrating the first major threat the denizens of this Earth’s universe would face.

Honorable Mention: Lor- Zod, Bounce. The son of Zod has never been better. Instead of being polite, kind and caring, Ult. Superboy struggles to find a reason to be anything of those things for a race of beings known for their selfish stupidity. Lor is at a crossroads where he could just as easily choose the heroic path or the road to villainy. Intriguing stuff.

Best Story Arc: Holiday, Byrd Man, et. al.

Come on, Byrd’s been plotting this for a year – possibly since the RPG’s inception. Little by little he laid the clues and progressed the plot, tying it into every facet of Ultimate Gotham without making it a major arc that all Gotham based characters had to participate in. In my opinion, these are the arcs I find most impressive and the most rewarding. He kept me guessing the whole time, and the dramatic climax was well worth the wait. Many officers fell during the course of this arc, and without a doubt, it will leave a lasting impact on the GCPD for seasons to come.

Honorable Mention: Sta’rro, et. al – with the various ties ins and character interaction between the Earth’s greatest heroes, this arc has been truly epic.

War of Light, Sensei of Cheese, Byrd Man, Master Bruce, Catman_prb – Hopefully this arc has not been forgotten. The Lantern Corp faced their most dire threat, nearly being destroyed in the conflict, yet persevering and vanquishing the evil might of the Black Lanterns. Great action, awesome nods, and new precedents set for the Lanterns’ future.

Best Developed Character: Supergirl, Eddie Brock.

I’ve got to give this one to Eddie. He took what J’dore did with her and created his own interpretation within the mythos, and continued the story. I’ve enjoyed the exploits he’s had her through so far, and when Sta’rro is beaten, I look forward to seeing Supergirl’s story continue.

Best Post: Undecided. If I were to pick one, it’d be from the arcs or characters I’ve already mentioned. Instead, I’m just going to nominate everyone who’s posted in these past 500 posts. Awesome stuff, guys – keep it coming.

MVP (Most Valuable Player): Master Bruce.

MB does such a great job in this RPG – he may only play 1 character right now, but being Batman is a fulltime job. In addition to that, MB does so much for this RPG it astonishes me. He makes up lists, updates information, and keeps track of PCs, NPCs, places and even things. On top of all that, he works to maintain continuity and order in the storylines of the rpg – taking every decision and application seriously. Nice job, man – you’ve earned it.

 

[Byrd Man]

Thanks for the nod with Holiday, syn. To be honest, I suprised the hell outta myself by making it all the way through from November to August and keep the story kinda halfway cohesive

 

[Byrd Man]

So what the **** is up with St'arro? We gonna finish this arc up anytime before the goddamn new year? If not, looks like it's up to Flash and Superboy to save the day. Let's do it, Bounce.

 

[Bounce]

Oh god, you're expecting Superboy to save the world?

The one he doesn't even like?

We're talking about the same planet that has the son of Jor-El on it right?

Yeah... it's up to Flash, dude. Sorry.

Superboy might save himself a Happy Meal from McDonalds, but if its up to the son of Zod... you're screwed.

 

[Bounce]

All right, tried to do a post that would shake up the Sta'rro arc a bit. Hopefully not too much though.

Let me know if anyone wants any part of it edited.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I'm assuming that the stall in the Star'ro arc has derailed the tentative plans for an October end of Season (?).

 

[Spike_x1]

I was thinking that the arc could end pretty swiftly if Andy, MST3K, and myself could get ourselves in sync. I mean, all the pieces needed to end the story are there and close to being in place. We basically just have to do our business with the satellite and then... tadaa! Seems to be just a matter of getting ourselves around to actively doing it.
