First. No arguments here. It's just a discussion.

I think to move the RP forward we need to assess where its at now. First thing would be to work out our time line. I think we should go back to how we started, New York in ruins after the bomb. And with everything leading towards the bad future. This isn't to say we need to ever reach it, we can make our own future. But the bomb is a defining event.

Some of us need to remember what heroes is about. Tone down the powers to a level more within the spirit of Heroes. This applies to a lot of people and I wont name names here. You all know who you are.

Anything taht happened before that went against the new order should jsut be ignored in favour of moving forward into a better rping environment.

The Syndicate can still try and take over the world. But keep in mind the world doesnt know that we exist, and it should stay that way abit. Its an underlying concept of Heroes that we should work to maintain. So maybe less big showy explosions and city take overs.

Together we can bring this back to the spirit of Heroes. And I think thats something we all want.

(This doesn't mean we can't have hide outs. But maybe a few less gadgets and more realism in them. Even being all knowing and able to make molecules has its limits)

I agree Esquin.Although I don't think we should rewind t the NY bomb. I think we have lost the original heroes theme some. You cn have powerful supers, and hideouts. We just need to have less huge battles..maybe more fo the people dealing with each otherand their powers? I dunno.

i say word to all that

but we're playing on the show's actual season finale of bomb exploding OVER the city of New York right?

word, again.. maybe like Heroes coming together, mastering their power (no Quantum mastery bull*ish) and of course personal demons struggle, and love, hatred etc. It's about the characters, the people, not just who's more powerful or who can make more diamonds lol.

tip: check out and read the entire Southern States thread, it's where I came from *wink* *wink*

The syndicate has so far become the driving force of the RP. And yes, because of my own antics it has veered far from heroes-verse and crossed over to the Marvel Universe. What Then can this RP do to make itself go back to the way it should be?

Should we like post episode summaries every week including the graphic novels and base the story from there? Like The LOTR RPG in PS2 where the movie goes on in the background while the RPers functions on the sidelines.

I agree totally with Esquin. Actually, we had the bomb blow up NYC

But exactly we need to tone down the Godmodding, I really don't like the whole taking over cities and infinite power-you can never beat us so don't try thing. I wish some of these people would come back down to earth and remember what Heroes is about. We don't have spells and blessings and *poof* you're all healed and know how to perfectly use your abilities. It's unfair how one side can do this but the other can't. We need to be more organized and mainly focus on the struggle between the Heroes and villians and learning their powers. No mastery unless you got yourself a Claude-like character that's been around the block a few times. What I'd like to see are the juicy fights between hero and syndicate but mainly the drama between the characters and their powers. It's not war and we shouldn't make it war. It's you usual villian trying to take over the world and our "Super Heroes" so-to-say need to defeat them while still taking time to have some fun. Along with relationships and the characters finding themselves.

Reighben Im serious stop trying to cause problems.

Basically I think New York exploding was a good way of seperating us from the regular heroes universe, it lets us build out own story and the only reason it got changed was because of quantum.

Turn it back jsut by toning down the powers and insanity. Be a little more realistic in your characters motivations and behaviours and above all else remember. That while we are agaisnt each other the world doesnt know we exist and we should strive to keep it that way. Battle are fine, coflicts are fine. But no more city wide wars that declare to the world "here we are!"

Reighben as I said, forget the past and move forward. The way of going abck to better tiems is jsut to stop doing the marvel-verse things and go abck to heroes-verse behaviour.

We will need to take some license with the fact taht we know out powers and are going to use them, but we can do taht without going totaly crazy.

[Mad4Milo]

Amen to that Billie!

The whole master thing to me was no good from the start. So I never RPed Riley like se had been affected by it. And yes everything is centered altely about war. Also no relationships between characters have been built because of it, there simply has not been time. I really want to see characters becom deeper and maybe reveal more emotion even if its jsut in thoughts. In heroes you always saw how Niki was emoiotnaly affected ad how peter is affected also...etcetc...

[Esquin]

So I think If everyone jsut sat back and looked at their characters motivations and emotions things would get better. Keep in mind what the spirit of Heroes is, that its not about war it's about subtlty. If you want to take over the world with the Syndicate fine, but in the heroes-verse they wouldnt do ti with war. They'd do it slowly with subtle manipulations or the world.

alrighty bub.
