STAFF THREAD HERE~

SO! GUYS! I'M SO GLAD YOU'VE RETURNED TO THIS POINT, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. >W< I LOVE/MISS YOU ALLLLLL~ ;A;

[anywho, yes, ignore the funky reply box/text colour thing-- I'm working on it. >>; Just when you type, highlight it all so you can double check or hit preview post. ouo; Sorreh, It's a buggeh I'm lurking for in the coding.]

SO ANYWAYS. Yepp, what do you guys think for the site/a plot? What are you interested in seeing here or rping in general? Do you want to be on staff? Yes, if so what position and why? Let me know below or via PM~~ I may be picking some of you out to ask if you wanna be on staff so if you're active and interested in the site at all, post here even just saying hi so I know who to consider. ouo


MY IDEAS:
- hetalia
- ouran
- STAR TREK
- avengers?


PLOT:
- save the world? (EVERYONE TEAMS UP TOGETHER EPICALLY)
- free-style plots where the universes are just all squished together? *superheroes lose powers/treks are sent into a different time with all their equipment and set up a base?* (SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING COULD BE DONE HERE TREK WISE)
- everyone is sent to a school-verse *meh, kinda lame… BUT THIS COULD BE A SUBPLOT!*
- *just had other idea* All the universes are squished together and different sub-plots are forced upon the characters intermittently. It would be like a warp phase where one moment one plot is resolve and then everything for the next is set into place in the blink of an eye. Like a cycle and thus the characters need to find a way out of the cycle. < --- I like this idea a lot. LEMME KNOW IF YOU ALL LIKE IT! If you don’t, then tell me why~ I might still force it on the site unless I have reason to think everyone hates it. D:~

8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD~ EVERYONE LEMME KNOW!


who has answered: [new staff positions]
+ rachi [mod]
+ whelpzie [co-admin]
+ istra
+ kei

OOC boards:
- general
- games

IC boards:
+ hetalia [countries we have as members; continents]
(originals allowed; all canons)
+ ouran [school; surrounding areas?]
(select canons; originals allowed?)
+ star trek [starfleet academy; Enterprise ship and decks]
(select canons [TOS] + originals allowed)
+ avengers [Asgard; Jotunheim; Midgard]
(only select canons [from Thor, Iron Man I, Capt. America, Hulk])

I'd be okey for a total mash of characters, would it be free verse from any world, or just specific ones?

want to see some tony mofo stark if we're going avengers

Yupp, so far it seems like I'm likin' the mash-up~
and hell yeah~ tony and a little loki up here somewhere?


EDIT: It would be just those listed above. WOW I FAIL. I completely missed the question, sorry whelpzie!

Mashed up plot! It is awesome! Everybody should choose it *nods wisely* besides my awesome opinion is the only one that counts *shot*

It might be hard to generate specific interest me thinks if it's a large (but limited set), I'd rather set a set two-series cross over, or just anything in general. But regardless I still support. :)b

I like the free style plots. owo And with that, I like the idea that you mentioned up there that's just as similar. Imo, I think it'll be cool. Go for it. \o3o/

I really don't know world wise as I'm only familiar with two of the series really, but other board wise for OOC, a general & a game thread is required fo sho. It's going to be an odd combination to run with.

Okai, I'm assuming that this is where you wanted to post! ^^ If not, I'm sorry!

Well, I'm not very good at thinking up ideas like this but I'm still gonna try!


- Well, this is overused on many sites (not all RP) all over the web, but some form of alien invasion? I'm thinking on the Star Trek/avengers sorta thing. (I know next to nothing about both, so I apologize in advance!) This would enable members to play OCs if their favourite character is taken, and I'm thinking that members can choose a species from any of the four films/TV shows/mangas that we're gonna smoosh together, choose a side and everyone teams up in an awesome way! Like the TV show V, like there's this alien dude who claims to be good but is really out to dominate the world and kill everyone!

-Like a sorta HetaOni thing but with loads of different people, and in a village instead of a house. Because hanging out in single house is boring, right? Its very popular amongst Hetalia fans, but we could give it a multiple world twist if you get what I mean. My basic idea is a town which they're unable to leave and has a fair few monster-like-creature-things from all 4 of the worlds that are being incorporated that are trying to kill them off, and perhaps the good guys from the different worlds don't necessarily get along too well? perhaps they're best buds? Some form of hierarchy (?) could be formed that most people aren't to pleased about? I dunno.

-They all get stuck somewhere that's cut off from the rest of the world and the characters form gang-like group-things and turn against each other, form friendships etc. there's no obvious was of escaping to start with, and all hell breaks loose.

- We could throw them all into the modern world, in various cities as young adults fresh out of university/college, about toget a first job, first house, and...yeah. Like a dysfunctional everyday life-thing.

The great thing about these (if there's anything great about them) is that though it'd be easy to make these major plots, sure. But that's boring.
If you think about it, they could easily just take up a thread or two and then morph into something else if needed, and it'd give the impression that its overall a form of structured chaotic mess with never a dull moment that fits into the overall storyline, but again, only if required to, like a kinda minor plot, which leaves room for other plots as well. And of course, there's plenty of room for people to add their own little twists like relationships of all forms, and whtever else comes to mind, though within reason.

I'm so tired right now, so I'll probably come up with some worthwhile ideas some time this week, but I thought I'd just think up a few things and throw around a few random ideas while I'm on the computer!

Taken into account whelpzie, thank you~ <3

Rachi--

Hum, I'm liking your drift and thinking perhaps the incorporation of different elements from your ideas could possibly work. For the overall site, I'm thinking that each "world" is going to have a category with the main boards for that world so that it can be rp'd normally if need be. [Avengers will have Asgard and Jotunheim only in order to keep it simple; Star Trek will have the academy and the single ship Enterprise; Ouran will have the school and surrounding areas; Hetalia will have the country boards we had previously and new boards for countries that join us in addition to continental boards.]

Now then I'm thinking plots will be on a rotating, semi-optional basis. [Obviously, canon participation is needed but not every single canon has to post or be a part of every single plot if they don't want to.] The plots will take place in different (worlds -- categories).

Ex: All canons in plot A [agreed upon before plot is begun] are transported on-board the star-ship Enterprise: including Russia, the Hitachiin twins, Loki and Hulk. On-board, the captain and the new passengers interact via speculation [they can argue, discuss --whatever, concerning how the new-commers arrived] when suddenly xxx happens. <--- they all have to work together/fight/figure out some means of dealing with xxx. And thus, the plot progresses.

In the meantime with these plots, others could be going on at the same time in different (category/worlds) and if not characters must stay in their own world and rp as if everything were normal. Only one plot can take place in each category at a time.

Ok, here I need input. SHOULD WE
a.) "characters currently not involved in other-world plots must stay in their own world and rp as if everything were normal"*
b.) "random characters from each world have begun to appear in other worlds and interact with their inhabitants"

[*c. there could be a category that is like a wonderland of sorts which no characters have ever seen before and they interact here together from different worlds (perhaps exchange information to end the cycle which would be the overall site plot). They can poof in and out of here whenever without having it be part of one of the little sub-plots. It would be like a removed area from all the sub-plots that can be used for a. general, random interaction or b. to progress the site-wide plot of ending the sub-plot cycle.]

I can't decide if option b. might interfere with the plots. I know a. is strict but it removes SOME confusion. Confusion here though is unavoidable and all my staffers are going to have to crack down hard with me to make sure the site runs well. .3. Tell me now what you think before stuff is set in stone~~ <33

P.S -- personally, I think we should have a. and c. be the way to go but let me know anyways.

It took me a little bit to comprehend all this information no, im just being slow, but I think going with a and c would be better. Although b would call for some confusion it might prove be a little more fun to have random characters interacting with others that aren't in their world, and creating different plots with them. I think there could be a way around the confusion, if anything (even a little). Or, the way I see, it might not be as confusing as you think as long as there's set rules, guidelines pertaining to the fact or something that would keep it at bay of some sort.

Option b could have the potential of interfering with other plots, but maybe that could be a good thing? I mean, smashing some plots together to create something entirely worldly would be cool. (because I can see completely big plots going about that can deal with basically every world) But yeah, if it might cause too much confusion then it should be ignored. Focusing one plot at a time with the worlds separately would keep the confusion to a minimum.

So yeah, option a and c seem to be the perfect solution here, in my opinion. Or, you could do b, but only do that occasionally? Maybe one plot for all of the worlds every once in a blue moon? disregard anything that doesn't make sense. it's late and I feel weird. -.-

I'm on my phone, so i apologize in advance if i make any horrible errors!

I agree that a. and c. would be the easiest options, and they sound really good as an overall plot. I think that b. could work with minor confusion if we structure it (xD i use that word too much) and control the amount of other-worldly beings that randomly appear in other worlds. I'm thinking that we could have a list of members that have opted to have the chance for one of their characters to appear in another world. One or whatever characters could be chosen from said list and the world that they appear in could be completely random. If mwmbers are told that somebody could randomly appear in their thread, it'll be accepted by everyone and will give this aspect of the roleplay a more realistic feel in the sense that nobody (players and characters alike) can be sure when somebody's gonna turn up or disappear, if that makes any sense at all!

If we had b. as a kinda minor edition, it wouldn't affect the plot too much, but. Itd be awesome to roleplay. But then, it confuses the cycle that the whole roleplay is gonna be based around, well, in my mind anyway! Unless it was incoroprated into the cycle, or accepted as an unexplained (?) anomaly by the characters for a set time.

I guess b. could occur every now and again, like a handful of characters go missing every 3 months or something, or maybe it could be a one-off event if its going to seem really out of the ordinary. I don't really know Im not the brightest of people

A and C both sound like they will work the best as stated prior. They do sound like the least confusing of idea, and creates that cross over feelings pretty nicely. Then the option not to if someone doesn't want to muddle/doesn't know enough of enough series to properly jump in on that yet sound perfectly wonderful~

I like the random pop up statement in Rachi's post, but I think that should be on where the thread is placed basis rather than character opting in/out, only because while I may think that's really fun, sometimes I have something specific in mind and want it to just be two specific characters, etc. An optional part to participate in, while the sub-plot of all them colliding would still occurred as scheduled, just not the random on thread to thread basis. (Or did I just read that all wrong and just made it all confusing by posting this.)

As for the Ouran OC thing I see you have tagged up above, I think restricting to just select canons and not allowing OCs beyond the three (?) that would be in use would be fine. Only because Ouran is the most plain of the four, and as slice of life, I don't think OCs for it could meld all that neatly in the plot and not be boring. The rest I agree with up there for character ideas~

Sorry if I'm running slow here - I haven't had proper time yet to really sit down and read any of these posts very thoroughly and I apologize for that.

Thank you all for your replies! Everything shall be taken into consideration and I think, for the time being - a and c are the best options.

I have not a clue what anything in this paragraph says. xD I've read it about five times now and can't make heads or tails of it. If I'm correct in assuming you're addressing point c, theeen my idea for that is that only "that" board-- the wonderland board-- can be used for non-sub-plot related character crossover interaction. If a member wishes to meet another character from another world in a different area they would have to run it by the staff and would most likely be denied unless there was good reason for it. Just my idea~

I think you're right in the sense of limiting these OC's but I'm not so sure how much I want to entirely close them off. Maybe a limit of 5 m/f could be placed on it because there will always be members more partial towards one fandom if they don't know others and I don't want to restrict too much of that sort of activity. I do agree though also, hence the question mark.

Thanks all for replying~ Updates will be added soon!

That's pretty much what my jumble paragraph was trying to get at, haha, so I totally support this idea.

Also, of the boards, may I suggest phone/text/facebook what ever sections (like on Un Monde Parfait)? Maybe not strictly serious as then it'd only make logical sense with the characters still in your verse, but I think it's always fun and a lot easier to communicate with characters you're not exactly plotting with at the moment.

Lastly, the IC box link for Donut still says OOC on it. xD

EVERYONE PLEASE READ.
