Well, I talked to AI about it, and since SSR is suppossed to be a team, I suggest that it would be good that the ones that are forming the group submit all the members to a boot camp in an unknown location to stimulate the teamwork among them (as it would be difficult to work with complete strangers, and what is more, risk your neck for complete strangers.).

Not a bad idea, but it might be kinda hard to get a plot out of that though. Just people in a boot camp could become Reality TV Survivor :\

Although basic training for superhumans could be an adventure on its own :color1:

I'd go along with it if other people are "fine" with it... but my only concern is that it'll drag on too long and become pointless. However, the idea has merit... it just needs compacting maybe? Thinking more along the lines of the X-men's "danger room" as opposed to an army training camp might work...

It'd be more likely that Wescorp would use "pop up" stationary gun posts (as seen in Chapter 0) and Wesbots or very crude robots as opposed to VR. However, That's if they bother to train them at all. I orignally thought of the first assignment as "testing the water, seeing what they were capable of". But training does make sense...

All right folks, we have a directional descision to make!

We can either jump straight into the thick of it and move on to the priso.

Or we can hang back a little, give characters time to reflect on the situation, let problems be sorted out and all that.

Many players have expressed concern about SSR dying due to lack of player activity. Now, I'm not too keen on dragging dead weight around myself, and will admit, my dodgey actions towards this RPG are part of the problem. But here's the deal, if you're still interested in this RPG, POST HERE NOW!

You have a week, as far as I'm concerned anybody who hasn't made themselves known in that time will have their characters dropped from the RPG. harsh, but I don't want this to end up as another WOC situation.

I'm sorry if I got it wrong CKW, but I took my cues from VO who said some thing like:

"Riona walked up to Maverick, Charge, and that Ninja, who was sitting on a bench with a newspaper."

I read that as Crimson being on the bench with the newspaper and the others standing nearby, maybe VO meant something different, who knows what thoughts pass through the enigmatic mind of an octopus? :D

SSR players may have noticed that I made Crimson slap Diva. I feel this is entirely in character. Feel free to disagree.

CKW
11-19-2004, 01:17 PM
I disagree.

You completely missed the point of Crimson's speech when you posted the last phrase. That Spiderman catchphrase is completely OUT of CHARACTER. If you didn't notice, Crimson was trying to explain the dark side of people he's used to see. Not to give a cheezy speech, wich belongs to a superhero type thing, the SAME thing he's TRYING to POINT OUT that it IS a FAKE ILLUSION to keep PEOPLE HAPPY. Crimson would never be that cheezy. He would be more along the lines of a dark moody speech rather than that.

VO
11-19-2004, 01:36 PM
Crimson seemed to be using a fair amount of matrix-esque language in your post anyway, and didn't actually appear to be going anywhere with the speech. I didn't even use the Spiderman catch phrase to make him look stupid - it just seemed a fitting response to use in the situation, and also played into another theme :

SSR is a little tongue in cheek. Some of the villains are obvious homages to established characters (i.e Grapevine -> Poison Ivy), and the real world. Diva reads Paris Flash in the post before yours, which is ripping off Paris Match. She had a subtly modified Christian Dior outfit in the prison break. Crimson quotes spiderman (incorrectly, I may add) for the same reason - not to make him look bad but to continue the way I think SSR feels. It's not like it takes an edge of his speech anyway - and even seems quite fitting when you consider the RPG in question. I wouldn't put the words in any other character in any other RPG's mouth. You can't say that it shouldn't be trying to be slightly cheezy, as the whole RPG is, in general terms.

Besides, I could have quoted real ultimate power again, couldn't I :p

I'll edit it if necessary, provided I sort out a suitably cheezy replacement.

CKW
11-19-2004, 01:58 PM
As i stated. There's no way crimson would said something that cheezy because it's completely against its prior speech. Matrix has a great wealth of good philosophy, and i was not only quoting matrix, but Rosseau feel. You crashed it over. Crimson's supposed to be dark and moody.

VO
11-19-2004, 02:17 PM
from what I can work out from your post, Crimson is saying that superheros are just a nice cover to keep people happy. That's fine. Diva counters that by saying that Crimson has no idea what he's talking about - he does sound like he's spouting sensationalist babble from where I'm standing. I thought it was fitting for Crimson to use the great power phrase afterwards as it does kind of illustrate his point that Superheros do have a responsibility to society. Ignore the fact that this is from Spiderman (the reason why I explained above) and it does seem to make sense.

Besides, why was Crimson talking about that anyway? I'd have thought he'd actually commented on the point Diva was making a couple of posts before, instead of launching into a bizzarely uncalled for tirade. Diva tends to think negatively of the SSR in her own mind - not information Crimson is privvy to.

Case anybody is wondering why exactly my posts seem to contradict each other, it's mainly down to Jim's character. But heres the entire story...

First off, the appointment would have been made with Marverick. Meaning that already threw a spanner in the works, as Marverick wasn't there. I also didn't think Marv would be authorised to give out access codes, thus the whole breaking and entering scene (Jim is an impatient man, working for a rich client. A little property damage never hurt anyone ;)). So basically, Jim would have been expecting to walk right in, meet Marv, get down to business, but it didn't happen.

So why didn't he tell Crimson all this and save himself the hassle? It's pretty much a personality quirk. He tends to make things difficult for people he has a bad impression of... colour me reckless. And besides, you can barely say he didn't explain himself. :sleep:

As for the painting burning... heh, I thought I might as well start as I mean to go on... but yeah, he'll get it in the neck for that one. ;)

CKW - You could have at least let me respond to Crimson kissing Diva - I might edit your post later to post how she would have actually reacted. (IMHO you took Bunnyhopping a bit far in that post)


Your origianal post is here.

Soo... do you think you got me? You want me to apology to you, as if you were battling against my ego. You're also arrogant too. Know what? I'm smarter than that, miss Chasey... Plus, i'm tired of being serious all the time!

Crimson stepped forward. He had no idea of why to do this exactly. He would be called a fool for this. However... it could work.

He stepped forward, while Diva closing an eye upon him, with the cold stare of hers... Good. She wants me to apology. He stood up nearby her, putted his hands in front of him... He looked like it was an apology... his lips even opened slightly.

And then, in a split second, the decisive moment came. The world froze over as Crimson's fast reflexes allowed him to grab Diva's face... and steal her a kiss!!!!

This should be enough Crimson had very little time to look at the stupor in Diva's face, while the girl pulled herself out, and blushing like a tomate, released a sonore, vicious slap upon crimson's cheek. So intense, that crimson's face and body rocked slightly, revealing a red mark on one side...

Even thought it had been a moment of burning pain, it had been worth it. Crimson was laughing in his inner depths, although, his external face showed a rather shocked and pained look.

"What the...!?" Diva could barely speak, and she was STILL like a tomato.

Then crimson began to speak. Struggling to contain himself from laughing- it had felt soo good to do such a comeout...

"Well then, I slapped you. You slapped me right now. And it was a pretty good slap, if you ask. Therefore, I believe we're at peace now."

CKW

As you may have noticed, SW Freak has graced us with his presense. Now, awesome as Mr. Freak's writing is... we do have a slight problem. He does run a little close to Crimson.

Now, All I'm asking is, what do you lot make of it? Is Crimson now obsolete, or can they co-exist in harmony? Answer wisely, and don't hesitate in making suggestions on how we can sort this all out.

Thank you. :)

CKW
03-22-2005, 05:30 PM
A few observations. Just only on the coincident points. Excuse me if i'm a bit too scarce.

Berseker Rage (Crimson) - Bloodlust(Ronin). They are pretty much the same, if you ask me
Crimson's blindsense is equivalent to the combination of vampire senses and concentration, if concentration is more powerful.

Vampiric powers are way more than Crimson's accuracy and fitness.

... I believe that is all, since the heavy duty katana was removed from the original profile (if still there, would be pretty much like Ronin's weapon).

For this, i do think Crimson is pretty much obsolete. I don't think i could run effectively a new chapter with this character and its similarities.

SW Freak
03-23-2005, 03:07 AM
Okay, and here's my rebuttal:

Every character needs his bad guy. Look at Wolverine and Sabertooth. Both are amazingly strong, amazingly fast, have incredible resotrative powers (Either that or Sabertooth is just a really strong motherbuggerer.). Yet both are (Were?) popular characters, who could coexist.

I have made his abilities and disadvantages as I've seen them, basically. Whenever I use a vampire in an RPG, I always appreciate the fact that Bloodlust is a big part of the whole vampire mind set. I can change it to be more extreme, or to affect him in different ways if it seriously bothers you.

Vampiric powers are, again, part and parcel of having a vampire. He's also got the disadvantages, I may add. But if you're so worried about the powers, I can tone them down, or take the disadvantages up a notch.

I saw your earlier profile, so I remember the blade. Ronin's sword isn't simply so I can get the warm glow one gets when they slice an enemy's weapon clean in half. The samurai of old actually used a method called folding steel, but the art has been lost. It may well have been lost before Ronin was supposed to get his sword, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I've always loved the diversity of history that comes with longevity, and I want him to have something that you can't get anymore. Again, if it really is a serious problem, I'll remove it, but what's a samurai without is sword.

I was told by Aies that you asked for Crimson to have magic that was similar to kanji, but he didn't allow it. It slipped his mind when I asked, so I'm going to remove it from my character. There's going to be an element of it, but only enough that he's still alive.

Personally, I believe that there is potential for Ronin and Crimson to aid each other's character development. Look at it thus: Ronin is a calm, professional killer. Suddenly he meets an adversary he can't defeat. At first it's a challenge, but soon it becomes an annoyance. He starts to lose his cool, creates his own personal vendetta against Crimson. We see a side of Ronin that seems alien to his coolheaded-ness.
Then on the flip side, we see how Crimson handles himself in the hunt. Ninjas are made for combat, for stealth and stalking and killing, so when he first finds himself being targeted with a vengance, how does he react? When does his training take over? What does it allow him to do? Remember that Ronin will be getting more and more angry, and mistakes are made when people are angry.

I'm going to be editing the advantages and disadvantages of my character now, however. If there's still a problem when I'm done, or if you want me to totally scrap the character in favour of a new one, we will discuss it.

EDIT: I've edited my character sheet now. I hope it's alright.

VO
03-23-2005, 10:17 AM
So what if they're similar? They're also pretty different - Crimson unmistakably sees himself as a 'good guy', and has his ninja agility and stuff to get by - while Ronin has firearms and is a vampyre. They both have swords. Cool. Make them hate each other. :D

Just tell me what's going wrong. Be honest, be brutal, I don't really care if it might be offensive, I don't really care if the problem is the way I'm running things. Indeed, if that is the case than the only way to let me know is to tell me. Is everybody just too busy? have you all lost interest? Does it just not have the spark it needs to carry on?

Indeed, does it need to be closed down?

I really need to know here guys. And I don't just want people promising they are going to post, as we've been there... Done that. And really, it's a quick fix if anything.

05-11-2005, 04:07 PM
The aforementioned. The global tiredness, plus the starting hype has worn off. Do not worry, it shall go on if people are truly interested. However, we do need a more dinamic method of posting.

Hm. If I recall, Shadow's original dinamism was because everyone had a little deal of plot. True, it did screw things pretty much, but when someone was drained, there was another alternative plot who could make it. Perhaps we have encased to tightly GM OWNS ALL THE STORY thing... (and, well i think i have a great part of it). Perhaps, who knows... maybe if the storyline was open, it'd work better...

Wesforce
05-11-2005, 04:33 PM
No, because then you get the Transys Meltdown situation with everyone working against eachother. Without a GM its not really a story, but a collection of people who all want to write their own thing. The main downside is the drain this puts on the GM.

If it was more open, yeah more people would post... And right now we wouldn't know where the hell we are :|

Good evenin' Wesies and Gents!

As you've probably noticed, the good ole DEN staff have threw me off the plank for mutiny (Told you I was a bloody pirate, arr!), as well as having two nicknames. But I'm not here to argue the rights and wrongs of this, I just want you to know the cold, hard facts of what's going or not going to happen now I am gone.

First of all, SSR is a bit stuffed isn't it? I really can't apologise enough for letting you all down like that but there's not a lot I can do now, is there? Really, what we'll have to decide here is wether somebody else wants to continue running it on the DEN without me, or wether you lovely folk would consider uprooting it and moving to another forum where we can at least finish off the first chapter and who knows? Maybe progress onto many, many more, maybe not.

I've talked to some of you about a mini-SSR project, and I'm still really itching to do that. But again, I'm no longer with you all unfortunatly so again, we're in a bit of a pickle aren't we? I'd like to start this on another forum, but it all depends on wether you'll come with me. If not then I suppose it's over before it's even began. :\

And Wes, please contact me when you get back, need to talk to you...

Well, I guess this is cheerio folks! I'll speak to ya'll on MSN, and I hope that, one way or another, this isn't the end of our super-heroic adventures in Lutonopolis! :D

Can I just ask everybody to not post until I've talked this out with VO? As a lot of this needs to be sorted out, and I really don't want anybody else further complicating the situation until I've had a chance to talk with the mighty tentacled one...

Anyway, I have something I'd like to bring up. As I asked some people (you KNOW who you are :p) about this on MSN, and never got a solid answer.

Right, I was thinking that if we can get this chapter wrapped up fairly sharpish, would anybody be interested in having a short Christmas Special kind of thing starting December? To me, it just feels right, moreso than me writing it all on my ownsome in story form. The downside is that it probably won't be finished until April, but ho-hum, I can live with that :)

So, yes? No? Ideas for a plot for it?

I told you! Blue Aura records a mind-controlling christmas no.1 :D

Yes, cause we all like mind-controlling :p

Sounds good. Gogo Christmas Special (Or NYE Special, whichever is better).


And this holiday season's newest and greatest smash-hit:

"Lower all your mental defences!"

Anybody using more than one character/different characters? As it might be a good idea to let me know :p

I'll probably be adding a new character if I get the time. Like, just an NPC inconsequential.

Just a quick note on recent post - Just cause Illi's communicator thing blinks blue, doesn't mean you can't have your own personal, blinky colour. Think of it like a light-sabre... Merged with your mobile phone... Only not as cool. :p

For more information on SSR Communicators, send questions on the back of a postcard too...

I know Charge has a special ultra-insulated one :D


OK... now we really need some AI postage to tell us wtf our chars are doing and have to do, 'cuz I can't reply to that...

AI

Nyer - The idea of this is that you do it yourself. Doesn't Charge have a social life? Something he doesn't do when not with the SSR? And if not, can't he be on some random mission against a freak hurricane or something? You can pretty much have him doing whatever you want (within reason) - So don't tell me you can't post! :p

And if you're still stuck, I'll do it for you next post. Same goes for everyone, though I'd rather not.

ooh, ok... see THAT's the kind of thing you should've posted here in the first place. That's what this thread is for :p

AI
01-22-2006, 05:51 AM
I thought it was bleeding well obvious! :p

That, and I told you over MSN that was what was going to happen before I even started writing. Sheesh! :p

AI
01-23-2006, 05:46 PM
As that task was done, with some reproachful mutterings from the newcomer

JOVUS. H. BLASCO SW! Could you get anymore vauge?!

If you're going to use a fire engine - Use it properly, you corner-cutting fragger! :p

Just one note Wes... Charge can't absorb sound. It's kinetic energy.

I know, sound is my area of expertise :p

It was a little play on words that obviously came out wrong. Bah.

AI

Whoa, everyone is aware that only the area directly around the initial crash landing is on fire (or was, until it was just put out) right? It's not like the whole city is ablaze or anything... :\

Just to mention, I'd rather Ronin not be dragged along just yet. He'll follow soon after.

Ok its a well-known fact that RPGs have juddered to a halt across the board as of late. I can understand if people are lost, confused or bored with Shadow. DS has been put on Hiatus by its creator, but there's no real reason why no-one seems to be posting in SSR :rockbrow:

Come on, we're just getting to the action! :color3:

Well, I'm working on something right now. Just lazyness and such interupting.

Well, laziness isn't an excuse anymore! Cause it's not me on your backs... It's WES! :scared:

Posted a new info thread - As the old one was a mess. I'll be slowly going through all the old information and correcting it as I see fit.
