Hey Guys, I hope you're all doing well. Sorry I haven't been as active lately, I've had a lot going on in my life.
First thing's first, I'd like to thank all of you for making 2011 another great year. I was worried when Zero gave me my admin position that I wouldn't be able to keep the forum in line, but you guys have made it so I barely have to do anything to keep the peace, so thank you all for being so good to your fellow forum members and to me. I know we had a few incidents last year, but there was nothing too bad, and on the whole I'm proud of this last year. We have a great community here, made up of a set of diverse, intelligent members, and I'm glad that for the most part you've all treated each other with respect and conducted yourselves maturely. Given some of the stuff I've had to put up with as a mod on some other forums I can't tell you how much of a relief it is knowing that I don't have to worry about you guys tearing each other apart without me around.
So, as you're all aware we haven't had a new RP in a while, and I've been trying to come up with a way to get that part of the forum back into action. I've actually come up with a couple ideas for new RPs but since I'm indecisive I thought I'd let you guys hear them and pick which one you want to pursue first. With any luck I'll have one of them ready to go very soon.
So, here are my current ideas:
Chrono Crisis-After being defeated in the future by Jenny Wakeman and the other heroes of Tremorton, the Villain Chronos gathers the villains of Tremorton together, deciding to send them into the past to track down the heroes before they have matured and put an end to them. However, several future heroes attempt to intervene in his plan, and find themselves caught in the past too. Now the race is on to stop Chronos from destroying the future by altering the past, and if the heroes don't stop him before he does permanent damage to the timeline there might not be a future to save.
(The appeal here is that if you have a future OC for some reason*coughCartoonHeroes*cough* you get the rare opportunity to see them interact with your current OCs at the start of their careers. That, and Chronos is actually a pre-existing villain, so there's also the mystery of figuring out just who he is. Lots of action in this one.)
Tremorton:Year Zero-Set during Jenny's one year absence caused by Todd Sweeney in "A Robot for All Seasons", in the wake of Jenny's disappearance crime rises in Tremorton, forcing several new heroes to rise to take her place. But while some of them truly have Tremorton's best intentions at heart, others are out to fight their own selfish battles, and care nothing for the safety of the people they're supposed to protect. As this is happening the powerful Oracle Industries rises, promising to protect the world better than Skyway, and to do so without using easily corrupted robots. However, their dislike of robots may go deeper than just a business policy, and their plan to protect everyone may not be as innocent as it seems.Over twelve months the heroes of Tremorton rise, and as the year drags on they discover new enemies and secrets as they grow closer to each other and learn to defend the city while trying to unravel the secrets of Oracle and while trying to figure out what has made Jenny change from the city's greatest hero to a holiday-hating villain.
(This would not actually be just one RP, but a short series of RPs set around the same time period, sort of serving as an origin story for everyone's heroes. A little bit more focused on mystery and character development than action.)
So there you have it, my ideas for our next Roleplay. As always I'm open to suggestions from you guys, and I certainly wouldn't mind hearing your own ideas for future RPs as well. I just haven't gotten to run one in a while, and since no one else seems to be starting any I thought I ought to take the lead.
Here's hoping we can start 2012 on the right foot.
