Hey Fight Fans,

It's me, Hatesman and I have two of those open questions you all love to chime in on this time:

Firstly; Forum Player vs Player RolePlay, what's the best way to do it? I'm thinking without having to plan the fight moves before hand.

Definition: Forum Player vs Player RolePlay
[Noun] To conduct a battle between one or more characters using a Forum to post moves, often occuring during a forum RP story between two or more RolePlayers. See also: 'Awesome'

When writing the battle between Hatesman and Loup Garou a while back, I penned the draft and sent it to Netherwitch to edit as seen fit. It took us quite a while, because even though we had agreed important things before hand we decided to write it in one big chunk instead of doing it on the fly which, thanks to a lack of insight was impossible really.

Secondly: Is there a system of rules that we could use to outline a fair way to character battle?

Take the Moth Cathedral thread that I'm currently RPing in... you have the potential for some really sweet combat that could elevate to a Superman vs. Doomsday type of conflict if Pious and Psyborg Zero find themselves having a ruckus. However, if things were to get out of hand, it could end up with one of those situations where the fight goes on indefinately and they end up unleashing attacks that would nuke the city. This obviously poses many problems that I shan't go into and should be avoided even though it's a possibility if myself and Pious decided to have a God-Modding Ego-Hurling Deathmatch.

As for the battle between Loup and Hatesman, I used the analogy that if I was writing a scene of a man with a Sword and Shield versus Zeus almighty (or, between characters with significantly different power-levels) I'd have it mostly made up of the Sword and Shield dude doing some awesome dodging maneuvers, possibly having him escaping, before Zeus triumphs, just to try to make it look cool, even though it could have been written in one sentence: "Zeus raised a finger and GenericHeroSeven exploded into a ball of flames as he was struck by lightning, 'DUDE, no fair!' he cried as he melted into a puddle of goop."

So, I potentially want everyones opinions on formulating some set of rules within the MMO-Super-Powered RP Universe regarding battles in Forums. Because, if anything RP simply doesn't have enough Pew-Pew-Pew-Pew-Pew, which honestly, is what we all came for because Super-Powers are Awesome.

The reason for all of this? Well though I have noticed some very nice combat in the Unity Vigil thread just now where Bodicia the A.I. is constructing a very classy training simulation, but for the most part there's very little PvP combat ever gets RolePlayed here. It's always meetings and musings, which are all good and well, but at the end of the day, not as dramatic as a Sword-Fight on the top of a Skyscraper during a storm. I'm sure we can all appreciate how it will take a near-death or highly-dramatic experience in literature for characters to reveal their true identities anyway, the troubled soul behind the mask as it were.

I would ask a third question, but I know I can rely on the RP Veterans to give us whipper-snappers a history lesson on the other ways to get the job done, without even asking. <3

------------------------------------------------------------

Here's my unpolished rule list to start us off:

<ul type="square">[*]OOC all participants must understand the potential powers of their opponents.[*]All characters should react in a way that makes sense within the Comic Book 'City of...' Universe, taking into account the powers of their opponents.[*]Players must agree not to God-Mod others and may not decide whether an attack hits an opponent nor its effects on them.[*]Players require consent from all involved for their character to use an un-blockable/un-dodgable attack, or a potentially lethal finishing move.[/list]Now, I'm not a true RP veteran like some of our players, so I don't really know how to lay down rules or even how to word them. Thus the above is simply an example that isn't perfectly worded nor complete. If anyone would like to disagree with any of these rules or alter them significantly please do be my guest so long as you have a good explanation to do so.

(P.S. Sorry for the Guitar Hero style thread title. *Shamelessly Shreds-Out*)

ORACLE turned her head smoothly to Lord Borealis.

"Scanning the communications network would require a hard-line enemy terminal, or a Zenith Command post. Gathering data on unit deployments, movements, and the identities of key figures in the chain of command would then be entirely dependent on the technological level of General Buku's Communications Network with an average projected time-frame of fourteen hours, thirty one minutes."

She continued without pausing for long. "Could I prepare a plan to hijack the communication network? Yes. Blanket Jamming would require additional hardware, Electro Magnetic Pulse Bombs would provide a permanent wipe of the network requiring the target to replace all systems. Alternatively the existing Radar Network could be reconfigured to transmit blocking signals, creating a more permanent alternative that could be manipulated to allow a 'Comm Hijack' situation. I can also replicate voice patterns to further cause chaos in the system. The island's military would become isolated." she paused and switched to a more casual slow-paced voice.

"I am designed to assault the most sophisticated communication networks in the world." she glanced at the paper on the table. "The Liberty Islands are... beneath me."

TERRA LIBERATION FRONT CLAIMS PRESIDENTIAL ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
By Jack Jones

LAST NIGHT a video of famed Super-Villain Doppleganger The "Hatesman" appeared on a website, in which he claimed responsibility for the recently failed attempt on the presidents life.

The wanted leader of the Terra Liberation Front, and Statesman Look-a-Like, appeared urging viewers to rise up against the "tyranny of Democratic Government" and attempt yet further attacks against "a White House that is shocked, weak and confused".

The Hatesman is leader of a prolific Terrorist Cell known as the Terra Liberation Front, whose public mission claims that they will bring down democracy, law and order in hopes of raising a 'Utopian Anarchy' in its place where the weak will be weeded out by the strong.

The Hatesman also makes it clear that his message is not intended for normal people, but rather 'those who possess the power' meaning Meta-Humans. Among his record of federal offences Hatesman is accused of insighting hatred between Super-Powered and Non-Super-Powered communities.

At this time it's unclear as to how the Terra Liberation Front could have been behind the attack, that was thwarted by The Hyperion Watchmen, raising fears and suspicions that the TLF and Council are now working together in a campaign against the President.

The White House has yet to comment on this story, though the Video has already been removed from its original host site.

Right on time.

Zero turned to face Pious and met his glare with defiant eyes. He said nothing as the two men tensly stared each other down.

That's what you get for trusting a bearded love-muffin with your travel, broadband or media purchases. It'd be like buying something from me, only I'm younger and poorer.

"Yes, this seems to be the kind of city where everyone is on edge and ready to defend themselves. It's the unknown element, never being sure who is normal and who could be Super-Human. You were right to defend your homestead in light of a potential threat, even soldiers in this place are capable of reaping untold destruction."

Hahaha, happy to help.

I love that game and in turn that quote so much I'm actually going to re-write the closing song in honour of Netherwitch, sorry, I'm bored and pent up with creativity like a full bladder. Go forth and bask in the the whizz of my mind as I relieve myself!



"This was a phailz!
I'm making a note here:
"Oh. eM. Geez!!"

It's hard to overstate
my dissapointment.

Cee-Oh-eX Roleplay:
We play who we want
because we can.

For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are tools.

And there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the ArrPee gets done.
And we have some neat fun
with the people who play
Cee-Oh-eX.

I'm not even aaangry...
I'm being sooooo, sincere right noooow-
Eeeeeven thoooough you broke my heart,
and pwned me.

And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
Aaaaas they buuuurned it huuuurt because
I was so happy for you! (But this is not really true!)

...Now, when Loup fought Hate
it was a beautiful time.
Now, he's in the shadows.
And he's causing more crime.
He's glad Loup reeeeetired-
Even though he was admired-
by the people who play
Cee-Oh-Veeeeeeeee.

Go ahead and leave me...
I think I'd prefer to stay inside...
Maybe you'll find someplace else
to ArePee?
Maybe in Star Wars? (Galaxies)
That was a joke! HAHA!! FAT CHANCE!!

Aaaaaanywaaaaay this caaaaaake is Great!
It's so delicious and moist!

Look at me: still singing
when there's AarPee to do!
When I go outside,
I just get COVered in dew. (Sorry)

I've got plots left to run.
There is ArrPee to be done.
With the people who play
Cee-Oh-eX.
And believe me we play
Cee-Oh-Hache.
I'm doing arrpee and it's
Cee-Oh-Vee.
I feel fantastic and cos it's
Cee-Oh-eX.
While you get well I'll play
Cee-Oh-Hache.
And when you're better I'll play
Cee-Oh-Vee.

Cee-Oh-Hache

PS. Hatesman and Ammon, you know Pistol best so for now you can RP her for me, please. Thanks.

[/ QUOTE ]
Hmm, will do.

Zero smiled. "His reputation truly preceeds him. This is why I've come to see him."

Zero held out his Sword and then jammed it into the cathedral roof, point first, as if it the granite were made of cheese. As the next gust of icy air hit the two above the cathedral, the sword disintergrated into a fine powder and Zero made an effort to collect the particles into his finger tips like a vacuum. The glasses that Edward had dislodged earlier, reappeared on Zero's nose as if by magic. Calmly, he readjusted them.

"You know, for a Demonic Guardian you're quite sociable. What did you say your name was?"

If you've deleted the tanker, wouldn't want to play him, and Drae'kul is a good concept then I can't argue and wouldn't want to.

I just wouldn't want a character built specifically for the Nomads, because I imagine that would probably be less fun from an RP perspective, because you're making it up and have no connection to the character, thus lacking you incentive to play them. Just promise me you love the character and want to RP him or her.

On that note, while you guys are waiting for me to get around to your initiation story, why don't you build a Union wiki page? Reason being that Psyborg is currently recruiting based on this sort of abstract idea that, by reading peoples thoughts and surfing the internet, reading blogs, eMails and interviews, he can locate good Nomad candidates.

So far he knows that the characters want to join deep down, so is mining that node. (Well, they are backed by players who've given express request to have these characters approached, so the characters must be wanting to or willing to join a group like The Nomads, no matter how much of a fight they may put up. ) I'd just like more personal infomation and such if that's possible. Put up a Wiki page and that will be more than enough!

Thank you.

Agreed.

Don't blame yourself for 4th Wall either, you did the best you could. I mean it's a good refuge from the Tools at Pocket D, but otherwise Pocket D will always be the favourite, as Villains can go there too and you don't need an invite to get into Pocket D... At best you have, what, 12 people at Pocket D? If half of those are heroes, half villains, then half of the Heroes decide to frequent 4th Wall, even though there are 9 others at Pocket D, then you're only left with 3 people anyway.

I know I've said it a few times, but I don't think 4th Wall is going to work for a number of reasons. Me? I simply haven't been able to login all that much since December, and when I do get online, I want to RP fighting stuff.

a place shouldn't be interesting only if you can spotlight your own characters and cliques in it.

[/ QUOTE ]
You're right, it shouldn't be. But then people shouldn't lie, be jealous or fart either. I mean, Role-Players develop ego-like attention needs to showcase the hardwork they're putting into their characters for others entertainment. Showcasing characters for the lulz, is pivotal to the reason people RP.

Don't complain about not having a place to go when you can't be bothered to use the space someone creates for you.

I haven't seen anyone complain about that. We know it's there and we're grateful for the effort.

Guess I'll give it a go...

Once again. Wuv u. Get well soon. &lt;3

Since I've decided that my steam-robot-armoured-Tanker-guy won't fit the "unique" feel of the rest of the team, my altitis has rustled me up something that might fit in:

Name: The Drae'Kul
Reason: He is an alien who only just arrived on Earth and doesn't trust baseline humanity just yet. However the Bushido-esque warrior code his race follows compels him to help those in need.
Profile: Still being drafted in MSWord. Will put it up in a few day's time or so
Appearance: A 7'6, bulky reptillian humanoid creature with several small horns or otherwise natural "spikes" on his face, and brownish-bronze scales. He wears black and grey armour. (Enforcer Tucked in pants, boots, gloves, belt, and chest detail over reptillian skin)
Powers: ((Claws/Invuln scrapper)) His gauntlets originally could project energy blasts and blades (I'll RP them being "fixed" when I get Focus, and Talsorian blades) but were damaged. He has since fitted them with a small extendable blade mechanism. He is also naturally hardy and armour and minor forcefield technology only assists that.
Contact: Drae'Kul is currently living in a small cave in the Hollows, scared and alone, fighting off Trolls and occasionally venturing out to salvage what he can of his ship which was scattered over Grendel's Gulch. ((@Doctor Bolt, will be OOCly leveling elsewhere quite a lot))

I only made him last night and he's level 8 now. Hope the concept fits.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've been thinking this over, and I'd prefer that new characters weren't created solely for the team. The tanker guy will definately fit. Just because there's another like him doesn't make him useless, the point of this SG is to RP characters that you'd really like to RP but haven't fitted anywhere else yet.

Frankly I think it'd be awesome if you have a duo of Steam-Powered super heroes. =D

The man smiled at the joke Edward made, altering his tone to a friendly one, "Well, no I'm not going to kill him. That would be in direct contention with my purpose here. The world needs him. I can't tell you why but I can tell you that my name is Zero and I'm here to make Pious Hunter an offer." he said, as he teleported back onto the roof with another burst of air, landing a few metres behind Edward.

Is he really going to trust me after a battle he assumes he's winning? Perhaps I should just take the information... Zero thought to himself as he gripped his sword tightly by his side waiting for Edward's reply.

Yeah, Zero is fighting Mechano to try to contact the Priest as we speak, and I've been (forgive the predictability) sorting out TEH RLZ, stupid game hogging life. They should totally nerf the Social Needs on Life, it pwns me too often.

Naaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!

The Swordsman stopped reaching for his sword and turned to Sword of Redemption.

Searching... Hatesman... Subject Found... Profile Listing...

The Swordsman sat upwards with a force that lifted him straight onto his feet unnaturally, the wound in his gut healing as the ice at his feet evaporated and seemed to feed directly into his legs. His body appeared to be using the water to reconstruct itself naturally.

"Hatesman is Oswald? No, I'm not with him, Demon. I'm working alone and I'm certainly not after your Cathedral... I need to find St. Michael, and now I know that you know where he is! Are you going to tell me, or do I have to force it from you?"

With that, he held out his hand to his side, and his sword teleported into it.

"One way or another, I'm going to find Pious Hunter!" he yelled to the roof, taking up a power stance from which he could make his next move.

ORACLE entered the room, looking demure and beautiful as ever, tonight wearing a long flowing red and black dress down to the floor with her black hair held high by a set of hair-pins.

"Hatesman is late." she stated as she took a seat, displaying the TLF symbol before her face via Holographic projection, as a proof of her identity. "Ms. Liberty seems to have ordered a Longbow Chaser attack on him." she sneered with distaste.

"Connecting Remote Conferencing..."

------------

Hatesman took an Ampule from his belt as he ducked behind a huge metal crate on the docklands. Throwing it into the air he then dive rolled back onto the pavement and launched himself skywards towards a Red and White hover-vehicle.

The small belt device extended wings and flew after him, revealing a camera in the nose cone.

------------

"...Visual Feed Confirmed... Engaging."

ORACLE held her hand up, shoulder-high, as if she was going to ask a question and then with a flash of light a red square of light was projected from the palm of her hand.

The screen showed the TLF logo which morphed into ORACLE's true Cyber-Virtual face, before expanding into a window which crackled with static and then displayed an image of Hatesman holding the pilot of a Longbow Chaser in his grip. The pilot had evidently lost his vehicle already and was about to lose his life if Hatesman had anything to do with it.

"My detestable allies, I ran into trouble..." he said adressing the camera hastily.

The pilot in his grip grabbed onto Hatesmans arm and tried to wriggle free, kicking his feet hard into the Hatesmans body where he could reach. "Who are you talking to!? You're insane!!" screamed the pilot.

"SILENCE!" bellowed Hatesman as he poured a massive burst of Electricity into the Pilot. With a flash of light the feed went down and ORACLE was left holding the TLF logo in her hand again.

Her face was filled with the look of disgust.

"...Feed Disabled."

"Well it's nice to know Oswald sent someone with a little bit of skill after St. Michael and myself..."

Who does he think I'm working for? Query... Oswald... 523411 Hits... Inconclusive Information, too broad.

The Swordsmans eyes refocused on Edward.

"Let's see how you try this..." smirked Edward as he launched forwards with a Light and Dark punch, ducking to the right.

His target wasn't fast enough to dodge it in his current state. So he was hit squarely in the gut as an explosive plume shot outwards from his mid-rift enveloping Edwards arm. The Swordsman was thrown clear of the roof, trailing a line of black smoke like a firework as he flew.

He fell through the air backwards, several stories from the Cathedral roof, smashing into the ground hard. With the impact shaking his entire body, he lost his grip and the Katana in his hand made a revolution through the air then dug neatly like a shovel into the frosted grassy earth with its hilt in the air.

"Nnnghh... that hurt..." he said dazed while holding his burning stomach with one hand. Laying on his back in the dirt he turned his head and located his sword which stood several metres away. The Swordsman rolled over and reached out for his weapon.

Hi Can i play with you

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes.

Wait that was a gut reaction, I should probably ask what you mean.

Hey guys, wow. Feels like I dropped the bomb, literally.

I kinda left my computer over Friday and Saturday to visit friends/family (a foolish mortal's mistake I know!) and didn't, expect this to blow up as bad as it did, as quickly as it did. I see people posting posts that are so long, or thought through so hard that they're followed directly by another post from the same poster of equal length.

There's deep seated hatred in some peoples words, so everyone take a step back and remember what we're fighting about.

It seems to have started with my opinion that I don't think it's right to invade real countries. I was angry, because things anger me and I was in a bad mood, and I apologise for doing that human thing of jumping to conclusions and making ham-fisted demands without considering the impacts when in a position of power. I openly welcome anyone to /em slap or /em batsmash me.

Like the filthy Neo-Hippy without Guitar skills that I am I want to say, in my best Hippy voice;

"Hey dudes! No worry about it yeah? Everyone has like totally valid points, so we should still all be friends. I baked brownies, think of the brownies guys, yeah?"

If there's any Hatred left after that speech, I think I've found a Catalyst for any remaining Hatred!


[u]The Game: Hate It[u]

Because the only reason we're role-playing Super-Villains here is because we don't have another choice, we have to do it here because it's the only decent Super-Hero MMO around, and we can make our character look a million different ways, and have clone-like henchmen who don't follow us properly and stuff.

On the character creation point, the game-world is a sand-boxy mirror of our world because it's for making characters in by non-roleplayers... gamers. I mean, it's very much player character friendly, allowing players to invent Super-Heroes without thinking too long if they'll fit. They're gonna fit most of the time.

The reason to Hate this game then and not each other? It's because the developers have a freaking vendetta against Role-Players!

For years they ignore us, and then they sort of add a club that we can invade, but they haven't thought about us in it... it's instead a place for people to use to get about quickly and to use for L33TZOR prizes on public holidays.

They built a world with so many damned inconsistencies that it's a nightmare to try to do anything like this plot without stepping on someone's toes. It's bad enough (I'd imagine) trying to RP in a world based on Lord of The Rings Lore, but this is based on the REAL World, Real World Lore, so you have a horrible conflict regarding whether or not real-world things apply, or if we're living in a fantasy.

The developers didn't think about this because they made this game for fun, for gamers.

And what's worse is that they made us Love this game like an addiction. I do love it like an addiction I do. I'm addicted to logging in to improve my character, which is what this game is designed to do. It's not designed for Role-Play because that is, definately 100%, a secondary addition to Video Games.

Even that Holy Grail of Pen and Paper RP is a secondary addition, because those games are originally board games that in time evolved into Role Playing classics. (I didn't read the Pen and Paper Wikipedia entry so I'm only guessing this. As a result, if you tell me I'm wrong, I will slap you with a fish and tell you that an argument isn't invalid if the only thing wrong with it, is down to technicalities.)

So, let's just hate them for making the world in which we play, so RP unfriendly. Let's accept that it's probably always going to be a problem in main MMO's (because they're Video Games made for fun) even if we don't like that fact.

Let's not be brash or hasty, and let me retract my threat that I was not going to play with the LoRDs if you didn't play my way. I'll RP in a real life country, if it settles things and provides that precious RP we find so hard to harvest. I'd rather not, but by jove I'll do it!

"Why?" I hear no one ask, because I'm alone at my computer.

Well, because I want to Role-Play my Villain attempting world-domination, that's why! I want to have fun with his insanity, and I want him to get his [censored] handed to him in an 8-Page written battle that puts the in-game engine to shame, really sticking it to those animators for not being Omnipotent Gods when it comes to game-design and allowing me to throw my enemy through a wall, or pick up a Mountain.

Because Ladies and Gentlemen that sounds like a mighty fine time to me. A mighty fine time for all.

Oh and someone's plotting to hijack us all if we don't.
