ERA of Challenge Event Comment Thread

[Druid]

Just feel we should probably follow old RP protocol and place comments in a separate thread. If a mod could move those comments in here that would be cool. (this is to prevent us from flooding the threads of Charon, Xanatos, and the rest of those participating in SK's RP event with praises most lavish.)

That having been said:

Great work so far everyone! I'm only following this through what's been posted so far, but I am really enjoying this. Speculation on how this turns out from those uninvolved?

[Grae Knight]

I don't even think those involved know how it will turn out.

[Charon]

So far I think we're just introducing how our characters came to be involved with The Challengers/ERA. Not sure how things are panning out down the line...

[Grae Knight]

I should have mine up this week.

[Joe Schmoe]

I'm planning an event of sorts, but its not so much an event as... a major punking.

[Impact]

Hell. Yes.

EDIT: Also. Sadface at Charon being dead.

Haha, well. Read the ERA of Challenge threads carefully is all I'll say.

Oh I am. I've been lurking about since SK pointed me back. Hoping to find somewhere to either jump in with Adam or with Impact.

I'm just looking forward to the rest of these posts. I'm going to sideline this. Been out of the game way way too long to try and jump back into an RP event. Eventually I'd like to post some of my new writings, but that's a whole other story. (LITERALLY!!! )

[Xanatos]

It's not SK's event. It's mine. It's not even really an event. It's just a nickname I've given to the current time period on Virtue. (As it coincides with the introduction of The Challengers & ERA to the Virtue server.)

Here's what started it:

For ages Virtue has been plagued by those Rookery fucks. NOM NOM NOM COOKS PANCAKES PUPPEH. They spammed fluff threads every day and basically killed RP on the virtue forum. So I spent ages back and fourth with the mods to get that shit confined to one thread. Now it is, I want to put together some epic roleplay events on the Virtue server to get us back to how we used to be. I figured with COH:Freedom on the horizon, the server population was going to increase with those interested in superhero RP. So if ever there was a time to promote it...it's now.

So yeah. The ERA of Challenge is basically my attempt to promote The Challengers & ERA to the Virtue server. (I don't lead either group.) As it's basically just promotion with no overall metastory you don't need a jump on. Just make your own thread entitles "ERA of Challenge #Number: Name" and go with it. So far, each issue has started with a different villain meeting with President SK. Each issue is self contained. (Mine, for example, does start with Baron Blitzman meeting with SK, but it's going to focus more on Xanatos as it progresses. It won't cross over with any of the other threads directly.)

There's no over-arching meta-story other than "ERA has started and it doesn't like The Challengers, here is a tale of what some of the people involved are doing right now". That is how the story is going to end. The idea is that BECAUSE of SK forming ERA, and BECAUSE of Red-Havok forming The Challengers, Paragon City is now entering into the "ERA of Challenge". The whole purpose of this is to establish two groups that can host events on the Virtue server. (Such as RPVP events, forum story RP events, big meetups, etc.) The ERA of Challenge is basically setting up a foundation upon which future serverwide RP events can be run...on both heroes AND villains. The big events are coming, this is just the prologue.

My ultimate goal is to have private inner-sg rp events for The Challengers & ERA independent from one another. But public events that involve both on a monthly/bimonthly basis. That way the private RP can be the ongoing, complicated, in-depth, story/team-driven stuff. Whereas the server-wide events will be a series of one-off events that anyone can join in on due to not needing to know months and months of story progression. I'm treading lightly though, because Red-Havok runs The Challengers, and SK runs ERA.
