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

[Spike_x1]

I personally very strongly wish to keep the three reasons you wish to play the character. But at the same time I'd want it to be taken more seriously. That can also be used to separate from people who actually know the characters from those who don't. Fun and games are...fun, but I don't think when people list out "who doesn't love the goddamn batman?" it is just dumb.

I think actually thought out reasons should be required on the application.

The "write two complete sentences" thing always seems to sum what what I have to say in the "three reasons you wish to blahblahblah" in my apps, so my three reasons are essentially just repeating what I've already put down in the app.

That's just the way I always find it. Could be different for others, I dunno.

I quoted my wrong post. Look back at that post.

 

[Byrd Man]

Wow...byrd thats exactly what I suggested....

No I didn't You still left in the font stuff and didn't include the picture...

 

[SuperFerret]

I quoted my wrong post. Look back at that post.

Ah... Okay, that's a good one.

The font stuff is a minor thing. Why exclude it?

 

[trustyside-kick]

Awsome. I just think that the "screen name", "three reasons" and "where you found the RPG" are unneeded.

The screenname part is needed. It makes it easier for planning arcs if you can instant message someone. Sure, you can PM and ask for their instant message if they have one, but if you already have plans in mind you want to run by someone, or you just want to have their IM just in case, the application supplies it.

 

[Spike_x1]

See what you think.

Might want to include the font and color choice, but otherwise...

 

[trustyside-kick]

I'll repost this because of how difficult it was just for one person to look at it since I, like an idiot, put it after already posting, therefore no one else saw the edit.

But I do think this should be considered for the app:
Perhaps what could be included would be where you plan to take off from continuity-wise? For some characters who have had their own titles, perhaps it is crucial. An example was when I took up Aquaman and was going from the Waterbearer arc.

Yeah, but all you are talking about cutting it down. If we don't have the text roster, what's the point?

 

[SuperFerret]

I think I've voiced my opinion really well, so I'm gonna take the rest of the night off and watch The Dark Crystal.

Might not be a bad idea. Lord knows I don't want anyone thinking that I'm taking Metallo off from where he is circa OYL.

The text thing on the application was more about the IC thread than the roster though. That way, right off the bat we know when someone's character is speaking.

I don't know about that. I mean, it's all suppose to be post IC right? I mean, that's suppose to be the jumpoff point, but it's not a big of a deal that warrants a section on the app.

 

[Spike_x1]

I don't know about that. I mean, it's all suppose to be pre IC right? I mean, that's suppose to be the jumpoff point, but it's not a big of a deal that warrants a section on the app.

Is that what you meant?

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least one line of dialogue):

I think it is important to allow the people to choose where they wish to take off with their character if they had some big storyline or title as long as it doesn't force a big event like Identity Crisis or Infinite Crisis into the mix of the RPG's continuity.

 

[Byrd Man]

Is that what you meant?

Whoops.

I agree, but it's not important enough to earn a place on the app, IMO. As long as it's post COIE, Zero Hour, OWAW, Etc.

Instead of asking for the font as a separate question, why not require them to post their character's name in the font.

For example: Jay Garrick. Jay Garrick's thoughts.

That way two questions get combined in one. And we don't really need the font name if we're doing the picture roster.

Good idea, Wieg.

Corrected for grammar. Normally I don't care, but something like the official application should look spiffy.

No I meant the screen name on the HYPE!. Thats why I deleted that, and kept the IM name. Thats valid, the hype sceen name isn't. Its pretty obvious what their name is.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Don't see what is wrong with having you type in your username. It is an application like if you were hand-writing it.

 

[Saved]

Yeah...but you don't walk around in real life with your name printed on your forehead.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Also, I still fail to see how the "Three Reasons" are already supplied where it asks about your goals in the RPG with that said character. Why you chose a character and what you plan to do aren't the same; especially if you require elaborate reasoning.

If it was, I think that correction would've been made 6 Seasons ago when the first RPG started...
