A Game of Gods- Discussion Thread

Didn't really get to know you Strat since I have not been here long but your posts were always a joy to read and I wish you the best of luck in the future.

See you around, Strat.

...So gaiz, can we get an update on the challenge right now. Who's the new challenge GM, if they've got any new sub-GM's for it, etc etc.

It'll putt-putt along pretty nicely even with its head removed for the next little while, but we'll eventually start needing GM posts again. NPC's aren't gonna run from the overlords on their own after all.

Uh... Well then.

I'll miss seeing your posts, Strat (Even if I ended up being too indecisive to actually rejoin.)

Perhaps I should leave as well, I think I got tired of RP-ing on TV Tropes ages ago...

aaannnd Strat leaves.

I'm thinking the GM roundtable has a solution for this since he was literally running the whole RP.

Echoing what was said on the last page, no Ud, you are not in any way at fault.

To Strat, I wish you relief, and I am genuinely sorry that things turned out the way they did.

In light of recent events, and on behalf of myself and my fellow G Ms, I would like to ask everyone to refrain from posting in the games for the next few days while we get this sorted out. Strat's regrettable departure comes at a most inauspicious time, and we must now decide who is going to take responsibility for the various different aspects of the game.

We wish strat all the best in his future endeavours, and express regret that we could not convince him to stay. He will be missed.

If I may ask an honest question here.

Why can't players be allowed to continue to interact among themselves while this is sorted out? A good majority of players are not currently in need of GM posts, and putting a complete halt to posting now is going to end up killing the momentum for a lot of players.

I'm not trying to start any arguments, I just want to understand the reasoning behind this decision.

Why should we hold off when much of the Sifuri/Eclipse crossover has been going okay without Strat as GM doing much... And the Infinities Challenge is being run by you, Sullen, and does need to get to its conclusion. Some of the players have offered to control the NPCs in the Crossover Challenge in Strat's absence.

How do we know you guys aren't just going to kill the crossover challenge that we as players have been having fun with so far? I question how wise this GM decision is and would like clarification on why.

Dang... I wake up and I see this.

Hopefully the new GM can sort this out. Best of luck to Strat on what he's gonna do next.

There seems to be little I can add to the remarks that have already been made, save to add my own regrets at your departure and good wishes for the future, whatever that might be.

Ummm...Did I come at a bad time? I got on a better public comp and just got done catching up with the thread. This is rather serious, huh?

Well for starters, I would ask you to have a little faith in us, GG. We've no intention of letting the crossover die. Nor do you need to remind me about Infinities; I've spent two years of my life working on that challenge, essentially running that entire game, and I'm not about to let it fall by the wayside.

As to why we are doing this, I shall be frank; this happened with little warning and we were given almost no time to prepare for it. We need to decide, amongst other things, who is going to take control of strat's characters in all three games (not just the NPCs of this crossover), how the overall metaplot is going to unfold from here, and perhaps even the future of Season 3. And we also have to consider the very real possibility, perhaps even necessity, of bringing someone new into the GM group to help pick up the slack.

Suffice it to say, we have a lot of stuff to work through at the moment.

I figured it was more... background stuff. Alright, I'm fine with it.

Have fun with that guys

We got a list of who the PC's should go to? I know strat already told me through a random PM (we keep in contact) who he thinks the sifuri and eclipse PC's should go to. No idea on infinities though, that's a bit of a clusterfuck since he was already holding dropped characters

Wow I shouldn't have posted before reading the discussion thread.

I'm really sad to see strat go, that's all I can say and think for the moment.

Is k, not like the post will make the forums all burn down

Also, you should probably wait for a Col post before having Supergirl move on. No telling if the area she just went back to is gonna be the same by the time he's done

Agreed.

I will delete that part. Done!

...so, given that the Overlords are gonna win this (because it would be a pretty short crossover if they didn't), and that "winning this" means taking over New York...

Who wants what?

Although the villain Tesseract took over was a Harlem native, I think he would take Inwood and Washington Heights instead, for practicality reasons.

Is it just manhattan or all of new york

Just Manhattan.

Oh, has the time come to divvy up the city? Well, I had found one decent looking location Tira may have wanted, but that was probably destroyed when Medusa threw her giant plant into central park, so I've got nothing right now.

Vaas is more comfortable in Madripoor, and I decided a while back I'm just gonna have Dio steal the X-mansion.

Dibs on Tamaran and Broadway.

Dibs on Chinatown.
