The "World of Heroes" DC RPG Season IV Signup/OOC Thread

[Charlie No-One]

NO!

I do not want that. We are fine as is.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Maybe we should just try it out on a trial basis... Cause I'm starting to see Frankie's point aswell...

That would/could work. Have this season be a trial run. If it works well, keep it. If not, go back to the way it was.

 

[Franklin Richards]

This reminds me of being a liberal in Texas. Me, a few fence sitters and a BUNCH of people voting the other way.

edit : Oh good. CNO just joined the cause. heh

 

[Charlie No-One]

Yep, as much as I would like to play as Catwoman and Batgirl, I don't want that.
No offense to Marvel RPG, I mean I love it and all, but this one has much better stories. I see two characters bringing down the quality. People will have to think of two different stories for their characters and not be able to take breaks without holding people back. We already have enough of that here.

 

[Trigger]

No for me.

I think we're doing fine with one PC per person. Two many will lead to people not putting their best effort behind a character.

 

[Apprentice]

Hm...yeah, I'm starting to see that. MB's idea would probably be best, starting out with a trial run and seeing how thigns go. If the quality/quantity of posts decrease, then we scrap the idea.

 

[twylight]

Little bit of history..this didn't pass last time because people thought the quality would go down.
So the issues here are the same as they were before.

The only reason it's up for vote now is that it was almost unanimous among the GM's, except for one.

Also, a trial run is a good idea. And that's what it'll be.

We'll see how it goes this next season if it's passed.

 

[Batman]

Okay, since I'm a GM here, I'm going to make a proposition:

It seems that everyone is casting opinion based on nothing that's been proven as of yet. Some people feel it would be good without knowing if the quality would suffer. Some people feel it would be bad without knowing if the RPG would improve.

So, I say we only do it for a trial basis. Nothing more, nothing less. If people like it, we'll keep it. If they don't, we don't do it anymore, and the RPG goes back to the way it is now.

I'm not saying this out of bias. twy gave me the go ahead, since I'm playing Superman only until LT returns, to keep Nightwing aswell, so it's a non-issue for me now. I'm doing this because I want to be fair to everyone else, because I don't feel right doing it when other people obviously want two characters.

But rather than make the rule an official rule, due to my position, I'm offering this to side with the people against it, aswell. I don't want to come off as an ass to anyone... I never have wanted to.

Anyway... What do you guys think? Trial-Basis... Sound plauseable?

 

[Charlie No-One]

I love that qoute in your sig, Twy. I like the part where Dinah says, after talking to Sin, "The point here is that Bab's cyber did it,".

 

[Batman]

We'll see how it goes this next season if it's passed.

...

And... there goes the point of my post.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

...

And... there goes the point of my post.

It's ok. I still liked your post.

 

[Trigger]

Me too. It was very official looking.

 

[twylight]

...

And... there goes the point of my post.

It just means we stand together...amoung other things....

<Gamemaster Announcement>

Due to a few suggestions, the issue of two character player rights is up for vote.

If you'd like to allow two character players in the DC RPG for next season please reply with:

YES or NO

at the beginning of your post.
If you have anything further to add to the discussion please write it after your vote.

This vote will last till this friday.
​

With the following provision:

No.

Although I don't think my votes counts for much considering I'm leaving.

 

[Charlie No-One]

And considering Twy made a choice already.

 

[Red]

She said it was open till Friday.

 

[Trigger]

When are you going?

 

[Apprentice]

And why? I thought you were playing Deahstroke next season

 

[Red]

When are you going?

After the Batman/Ra's rematch

And why? I thought you were playing Deahstroke next season

A few reasons, but its not something I want to go into right now.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

That sucks. I was kind of hoping you were playing Deathstroke.

 

[SuperFerret]

I say YES.

And not just because I want to take another character, I'm not going to actually.

This is the DC RPG. We are the BIG LEAGUES. This has been the most successful RPG on these boards, and that in part is because of the caliber of role-player we have here. Everyone on the roster at the moment can handle playing two characters with no trouble at all. (And not everyone will play two anyway.)

We allow two characters in every other RPG, except this one. Why? What's the reason? It started in the Marvel game, and spread to the others as they were made. There's no reason to disallow it here. If you don't want to play two characters, then don't.

And if it's a problem, we Gamemasters can impose rules on it to prevent what Frankie's warning against.

 

[wiegeabo]

My vote is Abstain, for now.

It may seem like the coward's way out, but I just haven't made up my mind yet. Two characters seems good, especially if we're doing it on a trial basis. That fact is swaying my vote. But I'm still keeping in mind what Franklin said and can see this being especially true for new players. If we do it, I'd like to see new players (those we've never seen in an RPG before) be limited to just one character until they prove themselves. What does 'prove themselves' mean? I don't know, I haven't given it much thought, but that can be hashed out later.

 

[Green Lantern]

Kinda like the yellow weakness for new Corps members? Thats a great idea.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I think that, if two characters are allowed to be used in this RPG, that they shouldn't be available for everyone.
I know it might piss the newbies off, but RPers here should first show that they can handle playing one character in this RPG (even if they are currently playing in other Hype RPGs) before they get to have a second character.

 

[twylight]

Wieg, in Marvel you're only allowed two players if the GM approves you for a second player, the same would apply here, so we wouldn't be allowing just anyone to have two characters.

SF, They didn't allow it here because at the time the GM's wanted to keep this the 'Classical' RPG in the sense that only one character was allowed per-person, also at the time the worry was about the down fall of arcs and lack of character development in leu of more action and characters playing characters between just themselves.
Also at that time the vast majority of the major league players were against it.
