Okay, a few announcements:
1) As much as I told myself I wouldn't do this... I think I'm going to delay the end of the season a little longer. Practically no one's posted all week, and I'd really hate to end the season on this note, with no one ending their characters' arcs. Not to mention that due to personal issues outside of the Hype, I was distracted, so I didn't have time to prepare a new front page, rule format, ect. So most likely, it'll be ending next Wednesday. But that's as far as I'm willing to go on it... this current season's ran too long as it is.
2) In the new season, due to the fact that ultimising a character was so free reigned in the beginning... continuity's going to be a little loose. Therefore, characters who never had real active posters behind them are now going to be retconned, and therefore, freed of any bothersome continuity, allowing for "re-ultimisation", if you will.
These characters include:
Wonder Woman
Hawkman
Aquaman (Arturr/Orin)
The Weather Wizard
The Question
Cyborg
Captain Marvel
The Atom
General Zod
Another reason being for those characters is that they had absolutely no impact on the universe as a whole, and therefore, they still have yet to make their prescence known. The players behind these characters ended up inactive or quitting, leaving continuity that constricts the concept of the RPG.
If you want to use the history accompanied by them, that's fine. It's up to whoever takes them. But those characters are going to be freed, upon the new season.
3) The roster, due to my laziness in not updating it from mid-season to present, is going to be redone in the new season. Therefore, those reserving characters will have to re-apply when the Season II thread opens. (Plus, there's going to be an option for character fonts and speech on the new application... so now, the roster's going to look a bit cleaner)
4) Last but certainly not least, Q and I have come to a decision for the next season... We're going to allow the option of having two characters.
However, it's not going to be that simple. As of now, I'm going to be trying to figure out how to allow this rule without letting the RPG's quality slip... So expect it to be a bit different than usual. There may even be a different application format for one's second character in order to assure they're up for the task... I don't know for sure. Just watch for that. And I urge everyone to really think about it before you actually decide to take one up.
(For the record, Q has reserved Hal Jordan as a second character)
5) ...
That is all. Good day.
