Ok, y'all! We're getting together the first arc in our spectacular adventure and we need some input from you!

I won't give much away, but I will say that the first plotline will be happening in a big, major city. The question is: which one?

NYC is a place we all have heard about, even if we haven't all visited, so it might be easy and fun to write about things happening in places we all know, like Central Park or Times Square.

Gothom City, on the other hand, is purely fictional. And we've probably all heard of it, we probably don't all have a clear picture of what it's supposed to be like. This allows for some creative freedom in the events and actions we're all going to produce.

So, what do you thinK? Voting is not anonymous this time, and will go on for a week!

I think for ease, and to help some of the people with less knowledge, we should start in New York.

Well I live in NYC so I'm automatically biased... But Gotham would be cool too!

Like Angelic Asylum.

Plus, NYC is awesome soo… *votes*

Can we establish our bases first?

But New York is so overrated... Plus, it would be nice to mess up Batman's old stomping grounds.

It's not overrated. It's awesome (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?p=542799#post542799) B(

Besides, Gambit's favorite song is, "New York, New York".

Cleopatra
03-10-2011, 06:42 PM
But everything is done in New York...

StormWolf
03-10-2011, 06:49 PM
That is because everyone in the world knows New York. The Statue of Liberty, the Chryser Building, and the Empire State Building are probably most iconic structures in America.

Besides, maps of NY are all over the Internet

True but hardly anything good - between Godzilla making a guest appearance, the Cloverfield Monster, Ozymandias sending over an exploding alien, War of the Worlds and various apocalypses, we're not exactly the center for happy justice peacetimes. XD

But it doesn't really matter, a city is a city and both have their pros and cons! I'm just excited for it to start, we could be in HurfDurfen Land for all I care.

StormWolf
03-10-2011, 06:56 PM
I think HufDurfenland I Dr. Doom's country, is it not?

Lord Tully
03-10-2011, 07:05 PM
I'm going to say New York, because, A: I know much more about it then Gothom, and B: I've always wanted a scenario on which Wolverine lands, claws first, onto someone after diving off the Impire State Building.

Cleopatra
03-10-2011, 07:31 PM
Well... It would be rather nice to see the Museum of Ghostbusting...

Lord Xarel
03-10-2011, 07:43 PM
I say Gotham City, but either way, I'm happy.

Ace of Hearts™
03-10-2011, 07:46 PM
Well, it also makes sense that the Fantastic Force or S.H.I.E.D might have their base there.

StormWolf
03-10-2011, 08:03 PM
The SHIELD base is a heli-fortress. I can be wherever the hell it wants to be

Ace of Hearts™
03-10-2011, 08:03 PM
Aren't you in Secret Defenders?

Lord Xarel
03-10-2011, 08:05 PM
He is... *Becomes Venom and starts shooting "web" at Punisher, tying him and silencing him*

Okay, what were we discussing?

Imp
03-10-2011, 08:06 PM
Hmmm well my vote will go towards NYC due to it just being so vast and a lot of different places to do various things in. Chicago er I mean Gotham city is neat for how it has back alleys and is NYC (as well as other places) combined. However the drawback to it is that the city is dwarfed greatly by the size of NYC.

Would be cool to also just come up with a city of our own that joins the qualities of everything else together.

I'm thinking New York, though I agree that its been done to death and it has taken more of a beating than Tokyo in most Japanese Sci-Fi I like destroying the empire state building, I've done it in like 3 stories *okay in one its made bigger, but the others its flattened.*

AngelicAsylum
03-10-2011, 08:33 PM
Go for it, the only people who visit the Empire State Building are tourists. XD

CALYPSO
03-10-2011, 08:34 PM
Yep. Pretty much! Empire State Building and Statute of Liberty are always the popular ones.

We're still missing the liberty's head -_-

nonangelic92
03-10-2011, 09:04 PM
Gotham City baby... but now that I think about it and read posts I should of chose NYC. Wouldn't that have been hilarious if one of the bad guys just randomly pushed good guy of the Empire State building. That would suck but still kinda be funny

CALYPSO
03-10-2011, 09:05 PM
Good thing most of us know how to fly =D

SQJ
03-10-2011, 09:09 PM
LOL

Thankfully Not ALL of us...I wonder if any of the heroes who can't fly can bounce?

nonangelic92
03-10-2011, 09:10 PM
Lol so true, but now I feel sorry for the ones that can't, like The Thing. Could you imagine him just come falling out of the sky, crushing someone. Could you imagine the cops having to tell their loved ones.

"ma'am, I'm sorry to tell you this but your husband was killed today."
"What, how did it happen?"
"Well, he was crushed by The Thing who fell from the Empire State building."
She would just sit there, grieving and thinking WTH.

Cleopatra
03-10-2011, 09:21 PM
Thankfully, Cheetah is a cat-creature. She can land on her feet. And even if it hurts, her healing powers will kick in instantaniously. Win-Win!

Imp
03-10-2011, 09:36 PM
Some other characters may be smart enough to avoid such heights or even be too quick to be simply knocked off a tall building. I fear the worst for those who are even lesser than that...

Cleopatra
03-10-2011, 09:40 PM
Seeing as how the probability of being shoved, hit, shot at, bombed, etc. is very high, I'm not going to say I'm gonna avoid heights. Chances are there'll be no way to do that. Besides, you know how crowded New York is! If we tried to walk in the streets, we'd have to slaughter hundreds to get from one place to another!

After all, you can't expect villains to say "Pardon me," every time they want to get past someone. It would take ages!

nonangelic92
03-10-2011, 09:42 PM
Lol yeah argreed.

AngelicAsylum
03-10-2011, 09:45 PM
LOL Indeed. But NYC does have more to it than Times Square and Rockefeller Center and those other highly congested places. There could definitely be ways to sneak around and remain unnoticed, especially if you take advantage of the other boroughs (Staten Island, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens).

CALYPSO
03-10-2011, 09:47 PM
LOL people forget there are other boroughs. XD

SQJ
03-10-2011, 09:50 PM
Hey, the fact that People around the world know even two places in new york should be gift enough. XD

Imp
03-10-2011, 09:52 PM
LOL people forget there are other boroughs. XD

Those fools...

CALYPSO

I demand a fight in the Bronx Zoo. Guarantee heros/villains will get lost if they never been there ;)

Imp

Thank the internet that the brainiacs will atleast print out maps and study them before charging in blind.

CALYPSO
03-10-2011, 09:55 PM
I'm also gonna have Wonder Woman order a crave case from White Castle.

Cleopatra
03-10-2011, 10:27 PM
I'm gonna have Cheetah have an argument with a police horse.

OMG I forgot to put the fact that she can talk to animals as a power!! DANGIT!! Oh, well. She'll just have a staring contest I guess...

Evil Troy
03-12-2011, 05:37 AM
I voted for Gothom, but now that I think about it I guess it would be better to save the best for last.

Ace of Hearts™
03-12-2011, 05:38 AM
Hm, Batman voted for Gothom?

Evil Troy
03-12-2011, 05:52 AM
Well it is home turf.

CALYPSO
03-12-2011, 07:01 AM
Fact of the day!

The correct spelling of Gothom is Gotham! *wow*


Don't worry, I noticed it just now myself.

Ace of Hearts™
03-12-2011, 02:15 PM
You all know what I had for dinner?

Goth Ham.

TheGrim1
03-12-2011, 02:23 PM
I vote for Gotham. Then again, New York is good too.

Evil Troy
03-13-2011, 12:15 PM
You know I knew something didn't seem right spelling it with an O instead of an A, but I never really decided to figure out why. Of course, now I know.

RisingPhoenix
03-13-2011, 04:02 PM
I vote for New York. Though my character is from the DC Universe and most of it takes place in Gotham, I'd rather have Zatanna fight in a major city like New York so that she can flex her awesome muscles of spell casting and devastatingly cripple some unregistered.

:D

Not to mention I have family in New York so that instantly made me bias in my decision.

Housemaster
03-13-2011, 04:44 PM
I voted New York City...

Why?

I don't need to tell you! YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!

Ace of Hearts™
03-13-2011, 04:49 PM

I don't need to tell you! YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!

WELL I'M THE CLOSEST THING YOU HAVE!

03-14-2011, 01:34 AM
Molly would like to state that you spelled "Gothom" wrong
its "Gotham"

CALYPSO
03-14-2011, 01:35 AM
Good thing that's already been mentioned by me! =D

RisingPhoenix
03-14-2011, 04:48 AM

Who spelled it wrong?

AngelicAsylum
03-14-2011, 04:53 AM
The poll itself misspelled it and several others.

CALYPSO
03-14-2011, 04:54 AM
SOME HEREOS WE ARE. WE CAN'T EVEN SPELL OUR HOME CORRECTLY.


Of course, I'm from the Amazon so… B)

RisingPhoenix

SOME HEREOS WE ARE. WE CAN'T EVEN SPELL OUR HOME CORRECTLY.


Of course, I'm from the Amazon so… B)

CORRECTION: SOME HEROES YOU ALL ARE. I SPELLED IT RIGHT.

My character doesn't live in Gotham.

StormWolf
03-14-2011, 05:43 PM
The misspelling is not that big of a deal, everyone. It looks like we're going to be doing the first issue in NY anyways.

AngelicAsylum
03-14-2011, 05:44 PM
A lot of us know how to spell it and just didn't want to say anything. It's no big deal, just a tiny error. We don't have to get all competitive. XD

Ace of Hearts™
03-14-2011, 06:13 PM
Exaktly, speeling dousn't mater.

RisingPhoenix
03-14-2011, 07:06 PM
I never said spelling mattered in the OOC. I am sort of relieved that it's going to take place in New York. I'd love to have Zatanna scale the Empire State Building while fighting off some unregistered.

CALYPSO
03-14-2011, 10:47 PM
LOL! There are other buildings in Manhattan OTHER than the Empire State Building people ~rofl~

If the Twin Towers existed that would have been an added plus. But…*ahem* Well, anyway. -__-

Lord Xarel
03-14-2011, 10:52 PM
Necella!

Actually... Let's pay homage to the Towers please. Can we do that?

The Civil War comic was actually a political commentary on 9/11 and the Patriot Act.

Herr Gentleman

Oh, oh, oh, can we eventually have a battle in Metropolis? Pretty please? Or Latveria?
