Official Cannon except where it is blatantly stupid.

I'm looking at you Talsian technology!

Player should add to and fill holes, but not override official, except where official is off its rocker!

Sanguine: Would be very un-happy and would try to beat him up the rest that aren't affected would just accept it and move on, though most of them are against religion but if the general 'happiness'/war goes up/down respectivly they wouldn't care....So long as to a degree the people had SOME free-will(I.e. play games, be themselves yada yada)

Basically, if they do what God says, they get a decent yet not free life. If they don't well then they are basically hunted down all the time, kinda like the resistance in V, but less Nazi symbolism and less jumps suits.....

....okay i lied more jumpsuits, everyone wears a jump suit!

Aha... rather Marvel-ish then... The Outsider, wasn't it? Possibly one of the suckiest storylines I ever saw Marvel write. Your story can't possibly be worse at least.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now.....

that just sounds like a challenge!

And yeah they butchered that character recently, he used to just be a God Like Being, that was also a dick (Like Q for example), now he's just a nutty moon alien with psychic powers.

[ QUOTE ]

All in all, don't use my characters as examples, they tend to either be normal people, or the kind of people who you don't want messing about with your god plot, or fiction. If you plan to use anyone else's characters in your story, I suggest you make darn sure you have permission, and a plot twist where it all turns out to be a horrible nightmare would be a good idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

Slight spoilers.

The question was purely for my own interest, it always bugged me what the god characters were doing in these alternative future comic series.

The actual events take place in a 'pocket' world, with the people inside copies of people the 'god' has met, hence only people who agree to be in the fiction get mentioned, everyone else can do as they please.

Edit: As for why I want to write something like this, I fancied writing something ludicrously grim dark or Alan Moore Esq, plus I have toothache!

[ QUOTE ]

The attack on the zig: The event wouldn't be considered ingame canon of how hard it is to break into the Zig but judging by the fact every new player villain busts out of their with ease thanks to Arachnos, it can't be too hard...

Hence the fiction part, you know like in DC or Marvel, where you get the whole obsidian age, age of Apocalypse stuff, stuff that simple couldn't happen in main stream because when you get down to it several characters could just single handily prevent it, Captain Marvel, Dr Fate, Franklin Richards, Dr Strange etc



[/ QUOTE ]

As a piece of fiction there's nothing at all wrong with it; though I'd suggest NOT placing it at public RP locations. As an RP plot, I wouldn't advise doing it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was sort of hopping those with the Thor and above level characters would throw in some input, not outright decide I'm making Haruhi or something and bite my head off.

Basically I was just wondering how messed up Earth would be after it, when people can toss nuke blasts at each other it gets bad, when people start battling each other with theoretical concepts and reality altering shifts, then it gets Unseen University tip, level bad.

[ QUOTE ]
My toons are free to act IF they can't be affected. Given CB gave some specific avoidance techniques, those of my chars without said gives ARE affected directly, hence are god modded. This is why RP on a world scale just doesn't work.


[/ QUOTE ]

Is not RP, is just a general question based on a bit of fiction I'm writing. It could just of been easily a question of what you thought DC or Marvel characters would do ((Spiderman would so sell out, Thor would smite, Batman would go along so his parents were alive, then give them up to deal the final free will saving blow)) but well none of us know the minds of the characters there, like we do with our own characters.

And beyond that.. what FFM said about ignoring the godmodder... and anyone going along with that level of idiocy.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm using it for the setting of a piece of fiction, not an RP event, nor the basis of a new god character for me to play as.

All I was asking is what people thought their 'character' would do in that situation, whether they'd fight back, or grab all the miracles they could, because the idea intrigues me, at what price do people sell their free will?

[ QUOTE ]
Nope, because it wouldn't be happening as far as any of my characters are concerned. Sorry, but I'm not going to pay ANY attention to some god type character trying to dictate what's going on around my chars. As far as they're concerned, it's not happening.

I think you'll find it will be a common attitude too. What you're proposing is quite literally god modding. You're dictating how the game world is responding, forcing it on others; and lots of people just won't accept that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yet they still provide an entertaining read.

Likewise in a situation outside of game play restraints, out side of our normal respect for each other as RPer's ((Out of continuity, would perhaps be the correct term)), what would one gods response be to a new one, that goes around actually doing all the stuff Gods are meant to be able to do, but yet never actually seem to do ((Apart from Thor, who would no doubt be on the 'Say Thee Nay' side)) in comics.

[ QUOTE ]
What would my characters do? Same as any other "god" character, ignore it or treat it like a loon if ignoring isn't possible.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wouldn't get offended by the mind washed masses chanting the new Gods name, all hours of the day, out by your bins?

Edited: Wonder if that is the godly version of playing your radio too loud.

Okay say one day, a 'God' appeared in CoX, a proper reality altering, limitless power, dead back to life, cities of fire and blood, mountains to salt, miracles and brimstone level entity.

It's very existence caused the average mortal, to follow its every command.

But a select few, those who had studied magic, those with power psionic ability and those with the power of gods and mythical beasts in their blood, they were immune to the commands.

Instead the god whispered to them, constantly promising them gifts, lost loved ones back among the living, curses cured, power, wealth and so on.

The question is, what would you characters do?

Would they fight against this new god? Or would they join it in return for what it could give them?

Working on a bit of CoX fiction, and this idea intrigued me enough to ask it

Baron Eternity wishes to take over the world, but for entirely heroic reasons.

Tomb just wants to see the world end up as a burning anarchic hell hole.

Guess at some point some one really whined, that they really really wanted the jet pack but paid by credit card rather than time cards?

And other joined them?

And the cost is purely so that those poor saps who have to ravel to buy time cards, don't feel like suckers for having the little freebie thing that they get, for all the hassale of having to hunt down time cards in an age where shops only tend to stock them for the most popular games, given away for free?

Or you know it'd just another fancy Dan thing to show off, and has no real purpose than being a quick ease of travel until level 5?

[ QUOTE ]
I'll apologise for the language, I was annoyed due to external factors. I didn't say anything on GGOOC due to leaving it, and I should have sent a tell. 3 and a half years of RP at GG has shortened my temper and tolerance somewhat in regard to these things.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah GGOOC did some what go down hill recently, I apologies for missing your message, would of moved it had I caught it.

I literally do just ignore messages that start with curse words OOC, as I assume they are complaing about stuff in RL, the map server, chavs, stubbing your toe etc.

I'll be some what more considerate in future.

[ QUOTE ]
Probably she spoke shortly due to certain people being really annoying an inconsiderate of others?

It's not exactly rocket science to figure out setting off highly graphical (and noisy) power effects is going to bother people. Maybe I should spend an evening standing next to your char and constantly shift between dwarf and nova forms. You might just get it then.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm make the char your spending the night with Anon and it sounds a laugh.

And there had been one blast at that point, possibly a second if my character had also detonated.

Now maybe I missed I don't know thirty people exploding while I wasn't looking but, had any of the people 'annoyed' by the event sent a tell, I would of found some way to move on to the grass, even if it was something stupid as being blown there by the wind.

But [censored] about it because I missed a two line, double bracketed message that started with a curse, when I normally write those off as containing ((curse words Mapserver)), is hardly considerate is it?

Again if you have a problem with my RP send a tell, it bleeps it shows up in a different colour and I can find it easy when local is moving fast.

The pimp robot later I have no excuse for I was drunk by that point, so sorry for that one.

But again a signal has to be received to be a message, so a tell would be nice next time you find me irritating.

People in general seem oblivious to this. The amount of times on PuGs we've been safely but slowly grinding through reds and purples. People never seem to grasp the idea that its faster to fly through whites, yellows and oranges and the XP rate is better, especially if you're AOE orientated.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yea iv never understood why people want to turn every mission into an epic if all they want is fast xp either.

Depends on the team set up.

Sometimes you get a team that flies through purps and reds like they were grey con.

Ah, I've just been told she was on a char called Dinah Ewers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah found it can't say it was the most polite asking in the world.

And it's also followed by half a screen of large messages, which is probably why I missed it.

Still saying a tell would of been politer even if she used the same language as he/she did in local, and more importantly I would of seen it and moved.
