CoLC crossover RP, discussion

Oh, wow! A MMFRPG successor! And based on my favorite Season One, too! Awesome!

I was hoping someone would start one — I have very fond memories of participating in the MMFRPG, and wouldn't mind a chance to play a similar mega-crossover RP again.

Hello Korodzik. It's a bit of a mix between the old seasons 1 and 2; though I would personally say that I'm drawing more from 1 than from 2, yes.

I know I recognize your name from my memories of the old days, but I'm afraid I can't really remember who you played as.

My season 1 character was Kopalny, a lazy drunkard, a mascot of an old Polish gaming magazine. A very bad choice, incidentally, as this character's personality really doesn't at all work in the context of a grand crossover adventure.

My later characters were Agent 47 in season 3, whom I really couldn't play well, and Caleb in season 3.5; that one went much better.

Ah yes, I vaguely recall Kopalny; I definitely remember Agent 47 in season 3 though. I wasn't involved in the attempted reboot/sequel 3.5 thing so I can't say much on it.

EDIT: Going to get going for the night now. Figured out my schedule for work next week is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, all early shifts. So lots of early checking in followed by naps abound I expect.

As for tomorrow, (today) since I have the next two days off I'm going to sleep in somewhat. Not a crazy amount, but it will likely be around evening time by the time I'm on. I don't have any specific plans tomorrow; maybe just going out for dinner at some point.

@shoutmon: Yeah, Gastornis is most well-known in recent years for being one of the featured creatures in Walking With Beasts, where it eats the tiny horse Propaleotherium and where its hatchling is devoured by the giant ants Titanomyrma. Because, you know, that's pleasant.

As a said in my post, Amlur is a primitive place compared to most of the other people he has met. Amlur is based on Celtic Ireland before the Roman empire conqured Ireland, so Amlur is not a place where many people would want to go. So Agarth will probably slowly get up to date with the technology in the city.

Also i think that there should be a low level technology day were there is no electricy in the city and most advance techology, exept for guns, no longer works.

Aw man, I remember the Walking With series. That was like, 95% of my middle school experience right there. I mean, I know they're not the most accurate works of paleo-fiction out there, but they're amazingly fun.

I was super hyped about the movie... and then so bitterly, bitterly disappointed.

Oh yeah; if they're in Rick's lab, here's◊ some pictures of the lab from the show. His in-game lab is more or less like that, with a few additions (such as a robotic arm system I mentioned earlier). Feel free to make stuff up and/or break things.

Here now, fully recapped. Still not actually sure what to post for now so it could be a while on account of basically writer's block.

I wrote somewhere over 12,000 words today

i'm dead inside

Look on the bright side, November is almost over.

Late post is late and so is the time in game. Anything you guys want to do with your characters in the night, now's the time; I'd like to be getting to the day transition by next weekend at the latest, unless there's objection to that plan.

As for tonight, I'm heading out now. Hoping to be awake earlier tomorrow, though I also have extra chores to deal with such as laundry and garbages/recycling.

... Actually that reminds me, I should mention that I could possibly be slower on posting than usual this week; my parents are going out of town so I need to make sure the backyard chickens don't die and all that, so I've got more to do on my real life side of things than usual.

I picked Undyne because I had just played Undertale and was still hype about it. The magic is beginning to wear off a little bit, and honestly I just have some other ideas that I like better. Such as a particular Cartoon Network protagonist that I'm sure many of you will remember from childhood.

Anyway, I'll try to make a post sometime tonight before I go to bed. I'm assuming Undyne will just vanish sometime in the middle of the night and be replaced?

I have to say that I'm very tempted to switch from Alice to Asgore right now

@Kage: Cool, another Cartoon Network protagonist!

Dexter? One of The Powerpuff Girls? Johnny Bravo? One of the Eds? Samurai Jack?

If I ever drop Ben, I might see if I can't roll up the Eds. Like, all three of them. As awesome as that would be, that's three characters in one, but the three are pretty much inseparable.

whynotboth.jpg

wait, are you allowed to play more than one character?

Loco plays both Rick and Morty. That said, I think Firock said that the characters would have to stick together pretty much all the time if we did end up playing more than one character.

Na No Wri Mo story is done! Time to play video games.

Rick and Morty are a duo, in that they're pretty much paired together in every adventure on the show. Also, Rick needs Morty around to shield his brainwaves from telepaths and such.

The rule is one character, or an inseparable duo. 'Inseparable duo' meaning a pair that's usually together like Rick and Morty, Banjo and Kazooie, Hansel and Gretel, or Garnet.

Incidentally Thrall, it is one of the characters you named, but because it amuses me I'm not going to tell you which one until I actually post the signup.

I haven't seen that much of Dexter (I was more of a Jimmy Neutron fan ) but he might actually be able to give Rick a run for his money in the "insane science" division.

Then again, we do have a lot of mad science characters already...

I would do Edd/Double D, but he's a goody-goody who doesn't like fighting and has a complex when it comes to "breaking rules" or getting "messy, messy, messy!" Ed or Eddy would be better suited for a game like this (Ed being your stereotypical cheerful Dumb Muscle, while Eddy impotently tries to boss around the characters with actual POWERS), but none of them are really suited for a combat game at all. Despite Ed Edd N Eddy being probably my favorite Cartoon Network show.

I think the Eds appeared in this CN crossover comic, as having been brought over with the other heroes by complete accident and they end up being The Load.

Here now, fully recapped. Got nothing in particular I can think of to post in the main thread at the moment. Also gonna be dealing with laundry and then taking a bath here.

@kagescorpionakki: Yeah she'd poof on back to her own universe, with as much time having passed there as she was here in the city. (So two days.) You can do a quick epilogue for that if you want or just leave it unknown.

@Multiple character discussion: The exact rule is thus:

So a trio, like the Eds, would be one of those case by case basis examples.

It was worded that way for situations like someone wanting to play, say, an entire team of five Power Rangers at once, or all nine of the Team Fortress 2 classes at once; both of which are cases where you can argue that they're basically inseparable, (or at least just don't function the same way without each other) but I would not accept someone trying to do.

The Eds however would be fine, since like Thrall pointed out it's not like they could be overpowered in any way regardless.

I'm thinking of coming back in as Aelita, though since it's a spur-of-the-moment idea, I'll give it a day or so and see if I still like it as much as I do now.

Awesome, a character from Code Lyoko! But I didn't think Aelita could fight? I thought she had to rely on Yumi, Odd and Ulrich to defend her from XANA's monsters?

And as for the Eds fighting, they DO have attacks in some of their video games. Ed is superhumanly strong, but more in the cartoon way where it's Played for Laughs. That said, in the GBA game he has a charge attack where he puts on a football helmet. Edd/Double D uses a slingshot in that game, and Eddy has a jetpack in that game as well (based on an episode where they're trying to be spies and Eddy goes on a short joyride with an experimental jetpack that Edd built, before Ed grabs him and causes the jetpack to crash unceremoniously).

I didn't watch much of Code Lyoko but Aelita develops fighting abilities in later seasons I think.

Anyway, still debating whether I'll be switching from Alice to Asgore
