I did kinda think it would’ve been cool to do a World of Light scenario, though. Would’ve been fun to fight the corrupted characters to bring them back.
yeah, i'm still on board for something like this, and would love to do it before i kill off Sans.I did kinda think it would’ve been cool to do a World of Light scenario, though. Would’ve been fun to fight the corrupted characters to bring them back.
Compared to a robot entirely capable of wiping out humanity on a multiversal scale within a week and a scientist who's personal reality is in flux as he conducts experiments that affect literally everything?
Yeah.
Specter's a joke.
Heh, I guess I am a bit biased towards Gaster now, Godjacob. But you know how resistant I was towards him earlier. He's warmed up to me as I've thought more about what's going to happen with him. In the end, Gaster will still lose, and in all honesty I think I know how he will. He does have a really big weakness, after all.

I mean I'm just saying. Specter's no pushover, sure, but compared to the other main villains... Specter is a fun challenge for Team Hiro, but he really wouldn't last for long in the RP as a major threat. His power set isn't built to rival major villains on a multiversal level, and making it so that it was would be unfaithful to the original character. Z only works as he does because he was already designed to be a threat on a multiversal level since his conceptualization, otherwise he'd only be around for a short while. Malos is a very intimidating villain, the main antagonist of Xenoblade 2 and one of my personal favorites, but in relation to the other characters here he's just not that strong. I'm not saying strength is everything, but Z, Gaster and likely Zeliyis trump Specter in almost every category. Sorry, Shen, but Specter just doesn't have what it takes to be a villain across the multiverse. His attitude and goals is what I'd name as the key factor for that, honestly, but while his power set is good it's not on the same level as the other major villains.

it just really grinds my gears
Okay, the reason I joke about Specter is because I think he's a shithead personality-wise. In terms of actual plot relevance, he just doesn't have what he needs to be a big bad. Specter can be a fun character for events like we have now, but I can't see him being a major player past the Specter's Ship arc. He's a good villain to bring a group together, like Loki, but when it really counts for major plot and titanic events that move the story forwards he doesn't have the same kind of influence that other villains do. That's why I'm going to have Cooler eventually turn sides, because I think he'd be far more interesting and useful as a reluctant hero and can justify why I'm doing it while keeping him accurate to the original character. But I can't see Specter doing that himself, nor can I see him becoming a major player in the Z Arc. The Zeliyis arc MAYBE if he gets his hands on Zeliyis tech or something, but at the moment I just don't see potential for him past Marseilles. But please, Specter. What would you do with him in the future? Where would you want him to go? How would he contribute as a villain?
Even Loki took part in half of the avengers movies and had two infinity stones in his possession for a while. He was a momumentus character, even if he wasn’t OP like thanos. You don’t need to be OP to be a good character.Specter can be a fun character for events like we have now, but I can't see him being a major player past the Specter's Ship arc.

I actually do have an extended list of potential plans for him, and I’ve put some heavy thought into this. @Godjacob should know whenever I introduced a character, especially and evil one, I have details plans. It would be boring if I just told you, that would remove the suspense factorBut please, Specter. What would you do with him in the future? Where would you want him to go? How would he contribute as a villain?
If I recall, you proposed an idea that brought that keyblade(amongst other weapons) wielder to aid specter’s side, although we were waiting until this section of specter’s plot began to wrap up, same with metal sonicHonestly I like Specter the most out of all the antagonists. I find Z to be quite boring so far and doesn't seem interesting. But that doesn't make Z a joke by any stretch of the imagination.
But as far as relevance goes, well I did toss my own pair of villains into the mix. Maybe if I have them go to the Warzone world first after the meeting with Zeliyis Specter can be considered brought in as an "ally" to suit Kyuseishu's needs. Who knows, but I do think tech villains never have to worry about their place as they can always work on a new invention to stay relevant.
I just hate the fact that Shen's character gets crapped on every day by you guys. More so than any other.

No one knew what Loki would do either in the movies, and that brought most of the intrigue to his character. If everyone knew what he’d do, interest in him would greatly decrease. Plus it’s not how I operate, my plans are deeply rooted and I fear they would be unearthed once revealed.And without knowing what Specter's going to do, we have no idea if it'll add to the main storyline or just flat-out break it.
That’s a distinct possibilityWith that said, would you be open to a team up with our villains?
Oh well your forgiven, I know that could be. Glad that’s put to restso...
has the Gaster discussion ended?
did i provide what you wanted to hear, or is there more you would like to have insight on? because i'm feelin' pretty great today, so any talk with me is bound to be as reasonable as i can make it.
also, @Shen: Ghost Gym Leader sorry for my attitude yesterday. i had a head-ache, and was unhappy with my day. when that happens, it's best i probably don't get online, but i still did. again, sorry. pretty sure i came off as pretty conceded and condescending.
Regardless, my point still stands. If a unpredictable character becomes predictable, their intrigue and value go down drastically...
You know who knew all along what Loki's plans were?
The people creating the movie.
Characters and writers aren't the same, Shen. Snake's death has just as much of an impact even if we all know it's coming.
i see where you're coming from Shen, but i also see where Eevee is coming from, too.Regardless, my point still stands. If a unpredictable character becomes predictable, their intrigue and value go down drastically
But you see, that’s a monumental occasion of near instant death for many dimensions, Specter isn’t going that large scale. Besides, many of his bosses and things he’s done in this Rp so far have gotten positive responses: Mecha Hiro, Canopek, Etc.let's say i never brought up the Gaster Extinction Event. i just kept it under wraps, waiting to use it.
then i do. say i just have Gaster do all this stuff, interfering with everybody's stories, and everybody's arcs straight out of the blue.
that wouldn't be very fun, and i'm sure you agree.
but because i presented it, i was given criticism, and i discussed this. because of this, the GEE has transformed into what it is now, and it may continue to morph until it's used, and while it does, you can bet i'll keep all of you posted on it.
why? because it's better that way.
I see where your coming from, but you don’t need to worry about Specter Doing anything gigantic such as that or anything time travel related. Believe me, I’ve been burning the midnight oil with specter, I wouldn’t soil my work on something that wouldn’t be fun for everyonebut if Specter pulls some Doctor Who shit on us, it'll be way harder to try and work around the glaring hole of continuity.
i'm not saying you have to reveal everything, Shen, but it's best to keep your fellow roleplayers updated on specific events. hell, you can even tease some stuff without having to go into detail. i know i have, what with my original allusions to Snake's death before we all discussed it and fleshed out how it would go down.
hope this provides some clear insight.

Oh that’s just common courtesy, I do that all the time. I do it however right when I’m on the verge of doing the actionit doesn't have to be in the discussion thread, it can be in PMs. i know you and Jacob do this, and i believe we have before, and there's bound to be others you PM about future plots, but if it concerns certain characters, best thing to do it discuss it with the roleplayer who has control over those characters.
As said, I do, right before I get to cross the bridge, not a mile in advancewanna know a way we could have avoided so many arguments? talking about what comes next before pulling some bullshittery.
I also asked permission to do thatSpecter was pretty sudden, and split off the original plot to add Team Chief to the whole conflict in Marseille, but we adapted and let it happen.
Shen's philosophy of life, everyone! Sorry if this seems direct, but I just really hate how you tell us absolutely nothing and expect it to work perfectly in the grand scheme of events.As said, I do, right before I get to cross the bridge, not a mile in advance
That could have some potentialAlso, I would like to make a convo with Shen and Godjacob to discuss what will happen in the future for Erza, Keda and Rex.
I know. I still won’t inact it if it’s denied before I cross the bridge. I just leave very few things to get in my way to my goal of enacting it, hence why I ask permission right when it’s within my power. Hence specter ship coming in, which also was authorizedShen's philosophy of life, everyone!

i get that i was authorized, but i was in the dark about this. i was preparing story arcs for Chief and Flynn concerning the entire Marseille conflict before this happened.I know.

You are right on the praetor suit part, I should have asked permission, but other than that, my primary point still stands.but sometimes it's better to go a 'mile in advance', don't you think?
i'm already fleshing out stories for the sequel of this RP through Gaster, and discussing it with you guys for both criticism and ideas.
could you please just stop trying to have your way this one time, and work with what i'm saying? i have no problem with what's currently going on in the rp, other than the utilization of the Praetor suit. again, that's something you should have discussed with me before posting.
I know, I founded the currently second most successful RP on this site. But some things are better left to be a surprise for better effect.get that i was authorized, but i was in the dark about this. i was preparing story arcs for Chief and Flynn concerning the entire Marseille conflict before this happened.
communication, bro. it's the key to a successful RP.
dunno what your apparent title has to do with anything.You are right on the praetor suit part, I should have asked permission, but other than that, my primary point still stands.

Yes, the community does do quite a lot for our story, from the characters to the interactions. However, I often give the heading, bring up wildcards and surpises that were previously completely unexpected, and they are always a treat to those involved, and I learned that these surprises are usually the most beneficial and fun for those involved.dunno what your apparent title has to do with anything.
also, the MOST successful RP on this site still is Outcasts, right? anyway,
sure, you made a successful Naruto RP. that's great, but wanna know what made it so popular? the community. your fellow roleplayers are what made it such a success. you present the idea, the characters, the story, and they work with it and transform it.
but Naruto is a bit different from Fiction, if you ask me.
When something comes along such as that, then yesnext time you got something concerning my characters coming up, i'd like it if you discuss it with me in advance so we can flesh out how it would really go down, alright?
lol, sorry. nothing's yet come up for me to flesh out with you yet.I’m just sitting here reading this discussion thinking about how nobody discusses stuff with me in advance... :’(
