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

[Keyser Soze]

I'll just address it here so it can be clarified in case anyone else feels the same way.



At the time the point was for people -too- interact with her and question her take-over, the actual 'take-over' didn't happen till the end of that season actually, in one to two posts. I pushed as far as I could go, I wanted to see if people would break from their 'plans' and have their characters question something that was going on in their world. Technically it was never 'cleaned out' just refocused. The mob and underworld where still there, just working for her and only transporting WayneTech 'stolen' items. (and they thought they were all badass still silly mobsters)
Once that happened I did stick by what I did, I didn't want something my character did to be brushed under the carpet like I'd seen happen so many other times to other characters, or my own. *shrugs* In the end I'd like to think it works out better, there will be a huge vacuum in Gotham now that she's gone and tons of villains can have a veritable hayday. But if it was such an issue and people felt constrained, I was totally up for some conflict of interest, if I ever appeared or acted the opposite I'm sorry.

I don't think Black Canary being in charge of Gotham's underworld was a problem at all, twy. Like you say, I think the problem was the response to it, or lack thereof.

In Season 5, I did try to have The Joker mount a challenge to Black Canary, but issues of timing and availability meant that we never got together to do it. And this season again I tried hard to set up a rivalry between Dinah and Two-Face, with Dent positioned to reclaim Gotham's underworld. But I understand Karem had difficulty with the arc, which led to sporadic posting, which in turn created more confusion over the underworld situation rather than less.

But now - especially going off the excellent exchange between you and Syn - it would seem Gotham has truly been plunged into chaos. There is no Batman, and there is no one mob figurehead either. That means there are gaping power voids on both sides of the law that need to be filled, setting up a very intriguing dynamic for next season.

After debating it, I'll wait until next season to pick things back up with Wally and McCulloch.

Did you mass debate it?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Did you mass debate it?

Of course. I mass debate on everything.

 

[Byrd Man]

Of course. I mass debate on everything.

Pssh, that's whack.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Pssh, that's whack.

Go **** yourself.

 

[The Helix]

That'll be my season ender. I planned on getting started more next season anyway.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Nice work, Helix!

Also, just wanted to say, phenomenal work on that latest Superman post, Andy C. Some excellent insight into Superman's nature, and his capacity for good. And really hit home with the enormity of this arc's events, and their emotional toll on him.

 

[Harlekin]

So, y'know, I wanted to wait till after the JSA memorial, but I've been waiting to post this puppy for a while now, so my season ender is up in a few seconds.

 

[twylight]

*waits before she totally crashes for the night......or...morning O.O;

and sorry Harl, the first week of classes hit really hard -.< Byrd said he'll forgive Wieg and I for posting on Thursday night.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Great season-ender, Harl. You can't keep a good bad guy down.

 

[Harlekin]

Thanks, Keys. It wasn't much of a surprise, I know, but still.

Internet cookies for anyone that can tell me what inspired the Mercy intro.

EDIT: Well, 'inspired'. Maybe *cough*ripped off*cough* would be more accurate.

 

[The Question]

Lex Luthor's intro in the original Richard Donner Superman film.

 

[Harlekin]

You're correct, Q, enjoy your cookies.

I figure that should give you some idea on where I plan to take the character (no, I will not be destroying California).

 

[SenseiofCheese]

Will you be bumping uglies with elderly women?

 

[Byrd Man]

Will you be bumping uglies with elderly women?

One can only hope.

 

[Keyser Soze]

You will be wearing a variety of elaborate wigs to go with a flamboyant wardrobe?

 

[Harlekin]

Yes to all.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Harlekin is Kevin Spacey?! That explains a lot.

 

[Batman]

Wait. If Harlekin is Kevin Spacey...

And Kevin Spacey is Lex Luthor...

And Lex Luthor is playable in One Universe...

And One Universe Luthor was at one time played by Keyser Soze...

And Keyser Soze was a character played by a one Kevin Spacey...

Is... is Harlekin = Keyser Soze?

 

[Green Lantern]

No, because Keyser's a dirty Scotsman and Harl's a Dutchy.
Also get on MSN ya bastard

 

[Blacklight]

Ok I have now finished my season with Booster and Beetle, so I'm ready when you all are to start the next season.

Also, are we doing awards anytime soon?

 

[Eddie Brock]

Making Booster a character of substance? Why, BL, that would betray his very core. That would - dare I say it - make him a character worth reading.

Why, thank you Edward. I really appreciate the kind words.

 

[Andy C.]

Good stuff from BL and Harl. Love how everyone's getting their stuff ready for next Season.

Speaking of, just put my Season-ender up. Not a big twist or nothin, just what I thought'd be a nice cap on it until I'm back.
