White Day Festival This Sunday! Guys Get Your Girl Cake! |
Staff Announcements
White Day is coming~! Of course, that doesn't mean anything to us outside of Japan, but to the characters of AHS, it's yet another chance to try and dry hump that guy or gal your character has their eye on. Teenage love, isn't it just special? Also, on an unrelated note, I've been playing Final Fantasy 13 (big surprise), and maybe it's just because I'm still kinda early in the game (Chapter 3, I think?), but does any one else think that Hope just needs to slit his wrists and get it over with? Down the block, kiddo, down the block. ~I'm Not A Jerk! D: *pushes Blood over*, Ryu Any further spam should be reported using the report post button thingy.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
And since he's a jerk, I'm putting this plug in here for Med 'cause Ryu is currently at work and can't get to the ACP. Now has a really short announcement section, Blood

Basically, since Meta-human-ness is currently a secret and all right now, I'm sure there are students who have different opinions and thoughts about how or when or if they should be revealed to the world. So basically, as for an MSL idea, there could something along the lines of a group of students that want to reveal themselves to the world and let themselves be known. They don't necessarily have to feel superior or anything, they just want to be known and want to use their abilities out in the open. And, of course, there are those that want to keep is secret. To make things fun, it can be possible that either side is joinable and all that good stuff. Well...? |

Ehh, There's way too many problems with revealing the existence of Metas to the world. For further reference, you really just have to have a look at the MSL from pre-timewipe and see all of the hell that everyone went through. For that reason, My guess is that every person who has their pre-timewipe memories would be staunchly opposed to it, and since they're the one's that have the well-developed powers that fight would be over damn quick. Yeah, I'm kinda being a Negative Nancy here, but I simply don't see it happening anytime soon. Besides, Metas have enough problems boiling around within themselves right now without having to deal with the views of the rest of humanity, what with the sudden onslaught of villainous attacks, monster attacks, and serial killers running amok.

Hence the topic desc, that says, somethign for the future. I know it's not goign to happen anytime soon, that's a given. I wouldn't want it to happen any time soon anyways, for pretty much the same reason you've listed. This is just an idea for something later on, mainly to avoid the whole "Beat big enemy/problem and we win!" scenario and to get a little more emotion into both sides of the conflict. |

Given the way metas operate, I'm pretty sure that when their existence is re-learned-of, it'll be in a suitably flashy and unforgettable way. >_> Anyone taking bets on how many cities survive this season? Seriously, though... the idea is sound. Though something I've learned from all my time here... characters around here aren't likely to choose the "other side" in a conflict. They're either more likely to Take A Third Option, or to choose what their RPer feels is morally right, regardless of how they might personally react to the situation -- leading to everyone piling into the anti-reveal crowd. ...or I'm just being cynical. That's also a possibility. EDIT: Clarification rules :D Edited by DoubleNegative, Nov 2 2009, 10:00 PM.

Hmm, I may stick this in my back pocket for future use. I can't promise anything, but it is an interesting idea. But yes, if this idea is used, it probably won't be for a while XD. |

Personally, I can't see many students even giving a damn whether it's a secret or not. I mean this whole school is filled with badasses and emos, most of them my own creation XD But let's be honest here, and I agree with Double Negative, most of us, being the creative folks that we are, would rather take a third or maybe even a fourth option than stick with the "reveal" and "don't reveal" crew. Funny thing is though, I can actually see this happening because there are a few too many "beat the badguy/problem and we win!" SLs. That's probably because it gives the Rp-er a focus point for all their character's anger and/or hatred. Even if we were to do such a SL, much of it would be random killings and fights because there's no actual campaign plan. War stories only work because there's a war and likewise with this. If we were to do a big reveal to humanity, that would only add to the problems metas have with each other let alone regular humanity XD I think this is rather like a state within civil war going to challenge another country. That's kinda a stupid thing to do, go looking for trouble when yer already neck-deep in it. Still, that's just my two pennies on the subject. |

Just to further discussion, for those who say they'd end up going with a "third or fourth option", what exactly would those options be? o.o |

Probably to create our own faction, Command and Conquer style, and take down both sides in a surprise attack that involves superior technology, transforming mecha, and chainswords. Then when their remnants band together in a desperate bid to defeat us, there would be an epic battle that would end the world. And it would be awesome. Rabid fanboying aside, I think that in addition to the third faction option the next most common extra choice would to just stay out of it whenever possible. After all, next to nobody votes for the fourth and fifth string political candidates, right? |

... ... Your ideas intrigue me, Grahm. Seriously, though. I think he has the right of it for the third option. "Stay out of it entirely." You'd wind up with the majority of the board split between apathy and everyone joining the anti-reveal side. The fourth option, for those following along at home, is called (commonly) the "Kill 'em all" option. Not recommended for first-time players! In this option, you kill all the major faction leaders in a bid for revenge. The ending presented is the worst of the lot, with the world being consumed in nuclear fire and the only remaining things are the Omar, who prepared specifically for that day (and every OTHER survival possibility). ...or was that from Deus Ex: Invisible War? |

The World Ends With You

There's normally alot of people that stay out of MSLs as a whole anyway. I'm guilty of that and its as simple as saying they don't want to be a part of the SL, so that's not really an option, more just whether or not they are goingto be a part of the current MSL. And as for the kill them all option...isn't that the same as the pro-revealing side? I don't believe Fenix said that revealing ourselves had to be in a peaceful manner. "about how or when or if they should be revealed to the world" The thing will be complicated in the end, but I feel that' kind of the point. Like Mitten said, the whole straight forward thing that directs all the agression toward one being is nice, but played out too often. We need some real life emotion in some MSLs. |

Aye, at this stage I think it's rather like an unrefined diamond. It looks just like a piece of broken glass but, if we cut it right, it'll make a fantastic shiny thing. Now, call me old-fashioned, but I think that if the pro-reveal and anti-reveals both had a leader, then those leaders would become the figureheads i.e; the like/dislike would be directed at them specifically and not the movement as a whole. Now, there are many things that I would consider at this point but none of them are very likely or escape the current SL trap. I agree with Neko on this point: there's no real emotions. I confess, the SL I'm doing now is typical of the current ones but I'm hoping to cut that by the end. But it is a basic "beat the bad guy and we win" sorta thing at the moment. I think that the problem is that if you were to do a SL based on the collective rather than the collective, everyone would just aim for one guy. Meanwhile, a collective would result in many complex and intricate rivalries and conflicts. And that, my friends, makes good drama. Drama is conflict and that is what leads to a good SL. |
