Issue #1: Gang War OOC

[John]

This will serve as the Master OOC for issue one and all battle threads which stem from it. Please no pointless chatter in this thread.

When you do an IC post, please put the location of your character at the top of the post so we can easily keep track of who is where.

When a battle between characters is going to take place, please do not post your battle in the Issue One IC. All battles will be conducted in their own threads.

Regarding battle threads: All battle threads will have a mediator who will determine the outcome of the battle. In most cases this will be a member of staff. If the mediator decides against your character, please do not argue about it. You may, however, decide amongst yourselves who will win a battle. If you choose to use this method, please notify the mediator for your battle thread.

[StormWolf]

Be sure to stay on task in the IC. Going off on your own little adventure will prolong the Issue and upset other players.

Stay in contact with your companions. You will not be entering the war zone alone, so keep that in mind. Talk with your companions and don't leave them hanging. Be courteous and don't shoot down their ideas.

[Ace of Hearts™]

Are we allowed to Co-Post?

[Cleopatra]

Woo-hoo! First post! Hope it's good...

[Ace of Hearts™]

Is there a specified time you'd like us to write combat with random thugs?

[John]

You may combat the random thugs whenever you wish for as long as you wish. Mind you, I'm sure you will run into other heroes and villains sooner or later XD

[Ace of Hearts™]

Right, good. I was nervous that our post would be for naught.

[John]

Well I'm glad your writing a post for this RP and not for the other. Funny name for an RP, Naught. What's it about?

[Ace of Hearts™]

All for naught, all for nothing.

"Dey need to open ah book, Gambit tinks."

[John]

I didn't know that Gambit made sharp, shrill noises.

[Ace of Hearts™]

"Not de face, please not de face..."

[Imp]

How will entanglements with gang leaders be played out?

If the villain is forced onto the rooftop or near a window by a faction, will a well placed round from a sniper suffice?

[Cleopatra]

Cheetah's just going to beat Rhino to a pulp unless he agrees to join them. That's her plan.

[John]

Basically the winner of the fights between the characters will get the leader. What they actually do to the leader at that point, is up to them.

[Prophet]

well I joined the fray. >.> Hope my post is ok

[SikstaSlathalin]

Well activity has dropped deep hasn't it?

[Ace of Hearts™]

Gambit tinks dis place be deada den a cemetery.

[AngelicAsylum]

YAB, Luth and I will be posting soon! We had to just clear up some messy bits in the FF IC. =P

[RisingPhoenix]

I will be posting soon. I'm trying to figure out if Zatanna will be going on a solo mission or a mission with Mamba or Iron Man or both....

[Anne Bonny]

You are bad: Dude, did you really not read the posts in the ic?

[CALYPSO]

To answer your question: most likely not LOL

[Anne Bonny]

OK... Since he obvy doesn't read the IC either, I don't even know why I'm posting here.

ANYWAY please note that there are others already after Two-Face, so please don't just ignore posts and go along on your own. So far so good, but once we get to the same area we should really pay attention a bit.

[CALYPSO]

Well, Angelic and I are aware others are going after Two Face since we read some of the posts. So we informed of him of that.

[AngelicAsylum]

YAB reads posts that pertain to him and the situation around him. Now that we're actually in the main IC he'll most likely be paying more attention because there's a chance that something concerning us or what we want to do will happen, especially since Two-Face is a popular target. =)

[Anne Bonny]

Thanks gals.

[Ace of Hearts™]

We just have to make sure not to post anything longer than five paragraphs.

[Anne Bonny]

I'll write how I wanna write, dammit. B(

[CALYPSO]

I really don't think it matters how people write. If writing a single spaced five page post helps them get their point across, then hey whatever works right?

Of course, I won't read it, but at least I'll skim to the important detail! =D

[AngelicAsylum]

Yea for the super long posts I tend to skim myself. :lalala:

[Ace of Hearts™]

It's alright. As long as we can keep padding our stuff with redundancy and spelling errors and redundancy, I'm fine with that!

[Anne Bonny]

Ok, I posted to bring BW to Captain America and Two-Face's gang at the bank. Hope it made sense! Writing action posts has always been a weakness of mine.

[CALYPSO]

Awesome post. Expect us there soon =)

[You are bad]

I could have had that teleport spell conveniently pop us in right at Two-Faces doorstep. Pity I chose the more interesting route. Looks like we'll get the sloppy seconds.

There is a god.

"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."

[Ace of Hearts™]

You so crazy. And here I was agreeing with you!

[You are bad]

I was agreeing with you! Glad we're on the same page.

[CALYPSO]

Ahh, I just love the passive aggressiveness going on in this thread =)

*eyes Ace and YAB*

[AngelicAsylum]

LOL. You guise. <3

[Ace of Hearts™]

Passive Agressive? Bah! YABba Dabba and I are just the bestest of friendsies!

[Anne Bonny]

Its pretty obvious that you kids with the FF are going to get Two Face before Captain America and I do. But if we could provide you with some back up on the way out or something, that would be cool.

[CALYPSO]

I was gonna make an action post with WW fighting a shitton of gang members. I can have her run out to the main entrance, notice BW and America, and we can all kick some ass together?

That's one idea I have

[Anne Bonny]

That sounds good to me!

[CALYPSO]

Awesome! I'll get to writing!

[Imp]

Expect a post tomorrow. To summarize it, he will send a security team over via chopper to assist in capturing whomever is left alive for 'processing'. They are likely canon fodder but would enjoy if some survived to help the situation by the end.

[RisingPhoenix]

It seems that Zatanna is going to have to go SOLO on this mission to capture Pyro if he hasn't been captured already. I was waiting on a reply from those who had stated that they'd accompany Zatanna but I haven't received any notification, therefore I am going to go ahead with my plans.

I hope that is alright. I'll have Zatanna appear in Morningside Heights....

[Sanguine]

Hey Roan, I attempted to play off of Roxy's mission. So...yeah, was curious as to where you wanted to go with that.

[StormWolf]

I could use another player in Fort George, either friend or foe. I really have nothing to work with now that Juggernaught's player is MIA.

[Pheasant]

Ready to jump in, coming right out of Arkham city. Anyone in desperate need of a partner now?

[Lox]

Finally getting around to jump in here. I'm the one playing the Shadow. Anybody have any room for him somewhere? :D

[StormWolf]

Put him in Fort George. I'm solo at the moment

[Lox]

Gotcha. I'll do that. :D

[StormWolf]

What team is Shadow on? Not the Defenders, but depending on his allegiance will dictate how Punisher reacts.

[Lox]

He's actually written on as a member of the Secret Defenders, though he'll probably be new to the team. In fact, this might actually be his first contact with any of them. :D He's chaotic good, so he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. Very similar to the Punisher in my opinion. XD

[StormWolf]

Orly? News to me. Okay then. Frank! Put the phial Erika grenade away!

Frank Castle: Aaaaaawwwwwwwww shucks...

[Lox]

Hey, shadows don't get blown up. XD

[StormWolf]

phosphorous burns, my good man :)

[Lox]

Hahaha, that on the other hand, might be a problem. XD

[Pheasant]

I'll just keep adding to my mission every few posts

[Chip the 3rd]

Bit slow, is it not?

[Imp]

Aye, it be so.

[SikstaSlathalin]

There's only like 6 people posting still so yeah kinda.

[Pheasant]

Even with only 6, we should still have a wee bit more activity

[SikstaSlathalin]

We'd have to consolidate all our posts somehow otherwise we'd all be in our own little section of NY hitting walls.

[Pheasant]

I completely waltzed out of the Brotherhood IC for exactly that purpose.

[SikstaSlathalin]

I know but we can only go off on our own little stories for so long we could kill or win over every target in a set time but we can't leave everyone else behind.

[Pheasant]

I guess the debate then becomes, who is coming back?

[SikstaSlathalin]

Wish I knew Riri, so far all that's left to get word back are those members that haven't been around for over a month when I sent out the questions and that was about a month ago itself.

[Housemaster]

Somebody give me a place and a summary of somewhere that needs a character and I'll jump right in!

[SikstaSlathalin]

Basically we'll all just milling about getting closer to offing the crime bosses but I got an idea or 5 that might help us. Jumping into any of the other groups will help there's 3 people in Midtown but everywhere else active only has like 2 or so.

[Cleopatra]

I'm tempted to go and finish the Rhino mission without Ace. He hasn't posted yet, and I can't do anything without him. Would anyone object if I simply made my next post with Rhino agreeing to join the Brotherhood?

[GraftRaven]

Before I start anything is there any way I could free up a whole bunch of people to post with my post?

[Cleopatra]

I wouldn't mind if I'm allowed to do that.

[GraftRaven]

I kinda worded that badly, I'm looking to get people out of post-lock with a post of mine.

[SikstaSlathalin]

If you got an idea that'll work Ruby go for it. And X send up the chain to a GM or Mod aznd we'll see if we can make it work otherwise just post worryting about your own char.

[Cleopatra]

Alright, I'm just going to make a post that exits out Cheetah and all them because I don't think Ace is going to come any time soon.

[SikstaSlathalin]

Go for it Cleo we need to push all points along.

[Lady of Silk]

This looks interesting. Pity it froze.

[SikstaSlathalin]

We're just waiting on some others to post join if you so wish Silk. I'll have something up soon for the bit I'm doing.

[Lady of Silk]

Hmmm..would it be possible to pick up a character who stopped posting? I feel like that'd make it a little easier. Plus so many good ones are taken lol

[AngelicAsylum]

Hmm... well my partner was a dumbass who got himself banned -_- and I don't really feel comfortable posting without him, which is why I've been putting it off. XD
