HGS ASAS Discussion Thread

Go To

Because not everyone's on the official HGS Discord Server, which covers both the Main thread, the eponymous RP, and its previous incarnation Convergence. This thread will cover the latter two.

If you want to join the Discord, please PM me, kablammin45, Point Maid, Vengeful Bale, or winged​catgirl for the link! We're the official mods of the Main thread, but if you have any RP-related questions, please forward them to the official RP mods: me and Kablam.

Additionally, we have Recap pages for the two threads, which seriously need updating. Feel free to help out here!

    Original Question for the Old Thread 
To start things off, this thread was created to address a problem with Oggy's recent post as of this writing. Marx was shown communicating with his Tactical Doll army in the Voidlands, when it was established in this post that all outside communication's cut off due to the nature of the location. Also, Oggy was controlling Ribey and her minions without Mhazard's permission, which breaks one of the basic rules of RPing: no godmodding, please ask the other player if you want to borrow their character(s).

What should we do?

EDIT: Oggy has since changed their post accordingly, but to everyone here, please keep this basic rule in mind.

Then why don't you put that part of the arc on pause until Mhaz comes back?

I'm still active in RP, just less active and I'm still brainstorming about Markus' role. It takes time to build up some detailed and high quality writing. Unlike the other standard villains, Markus is a dead-serious, realistic one and primarily a normal human who works around his limitation through his cunning, exploitation of faith and superior weaponry, it really takes time for him to work well and don't be too unrealistic at the same time.

Another fun detail that's not listed in the RP: I took a little bit of inspirations from the Healing Church from Bloodborne for the Panemite Faith, in which the cathedrals only look Catholic on the surface. Beneath the Gothic architecture, they work more like Shinto shrines than Christian churches and the cathedrals are, well, shrines dedicated to the spirits of Panem's Presidents, which allows Markus to exploit the faith of Panem's people way more easier.

According to the Panemite Faith, everything has a spirit and the cathedrals exist for the spirits to harbor within so the mortals can worship the spirits as their deities, and the word "spirit" is almost synonymous with "god".

Anyway, just to remind Oggy and Mhazard, but I had Aya go to the Winter's End in a post to interview someone for her news, but I think she got ignored.

If anyone wants to claim the Treatlings (and the other sentient non-food items) at the Science Center, they're all yours. Feel free to name them and give them powers, even the pretzel and quesadilla.

At the meantime, I'm planning to have the Neon Quarters to send out hit squads throughout the entire Panem. They would patrol around the street and systematically eliminate any Treatling on sight, claiming that they are spiritually impure.

~Oggy 123

Letting Mr. Star "give Noire significant damage" is a textbook example of godmodding. It's up to Tabby to decide whether or not she gets hit, and by how much.

And... I'm still brainstorming what to do with the Winter's End and the Neon Quarters, especially when I don't have access to Discord server for draft saving and I'm working for a construction company as a video editor. I hope my inactivity (or at least, less active than before) wouldn't leave too much impacts as well.

~Oggy 123, you seem to have a godmodding problem again. We feel that Zan shouldn't have snuck into the base that easily after "attacking Noire many times and stunning her". Instead of wording her attack like that, consider "tries stunning her". That way, Tabby will still have a chance for Noire to either shrug it off or take the hit.

Also, Akumo is going to send in a shadow clone of his, so Zan's sneaking in might not work out at all.

For some reason, i want to imply that the nudibranch and squid i nominated in this season are actually the real Reimu and Marisa, who were transformed into those forms potentially by the siphonophore-like villain i introduced the other day.

This will probably also be the case for the pop-culture referencing animals i would potentially draw and nominate in future seasons. Though in this case, i'm not sure if everyone would like this idea.

Reimu and Marisa are played by Billy, and that comes off as godmodding since you're transforming them without his permission. This extends to your other animal characters you're planning to introduce.

In fact, a similar issue was brought up in the server when a new player designed alternate forms of 6k1 and played as them in the Tupperbox channel. While it's fun to come up with alts for other players' characters, it's best that they come up with them themselves, as they know what's best for their characters.

Maybe Dismiss Them as Alternative Selves of Them? Like 6k1 said, this might be character theft.

My last post at the time of this writing implies that 6k1 shares her birth name with my real name, which I didn't disclose for privacy reasons, so if Scipion, Onox, or anyone who knows her birth name calls her by it, they should address it indirectly. For example: "Scipion calls 6k1 by her real name."

And Oggy, the Winter's End has already responded to the Bullet Corps, now awaiting for reply.

Meanwhile, I'm still tweaking Markus' characterization, finding a balance between "deep and realistically horrifying" and being fun to be fought against, as well as having a dark past that can justify his deranged behaviors (e.g. being burnt and smoked by upper class noblemen with white phosphorus allotrope as a means of torture for wronging them slightly, which forces him to live through an everlasting agony and having to use remote bodies to interact with the others, causing him to develop a sense of hatred and jealousy to the people with a successful life, which reinforces his already existing Inferiority Superiority Complex to the point he begins to subscribe to the idea of Social Darwinism, leading him to want to climb to a higher social hierarchy through every means possible, eventually allowing him to bend everyone's knees before him, using his social hierarchy to get whatever he wants.) without outright turning him into a tragic character.
