Okay, this sounds like awesome fun to play out but it also sounds like a solid AU. I kind of like Legard's idea of putting the rest of the boar on hold for a little while, say a month, and take an AU vacation but then how would that work with new members? We definitely need a whole other section for this, because it would be soooo confusing otherwise. Also, how would we keep XMR from lagging way way behind real time? Still it'll be interesting to see what happens, mostly with Kurt and Logan. Jason may end up being way different too, depending on how influential Charles was in shaping mutant politics. Doc is.... Doc. |

Hmh. I'm for it if it's strictly AU. I highly dislike 'switching' plots...I wasn't into the X-Kids thing...as far as canon switching stuff, I hated House of M, and Decimation, so whatever. I like smooth, realistic progression in plots. AU sounds fine though, although I really don't want to stop all other board activity for it. |

*nods* Like Wiccan said, I don't want to stop other board activity for this plot... Even if it isn't AU, which it probably should be for the sakes of our sanity, would our characters all remember it afterward? If so, we need to consider how it'd affect the characters' development. If not, the point of it not being AU and disrupting the timeline would be...? |

.... Ya know I was serious... I'm crossing my fingers hoping Mags becomes emperor of the USA. We can have a seperate forum thing like the ShadowX battles. The bored could continue on (the before and after). I looove looove LOOOVE the idea that the reality warpers would know. Question is what (or how) could they do to try and reverse things or get their friends to know? But then that's sounding a lot like House of M. I dunno... I'm just doin some late night rambling. |

I'd rather have it strictly AU than have it be site canon, unless it was cannon where like no one remembered it, because our characters would be pretty messed up if they remember leading two separate lives. With the whole Magneto thing, without Xavier there would (Obviously) be no X-men, so the government would more than likely assemble their own clandestine team of mutants without the qualms about killing the X-men have. They probably wouldn't be as effective, but they'd still give Magneto some trouble, if he was still around at all. |

I was actually considering making Magneto into Erik Lehnsherr... the head guy at the post office in Purgatory, Alaska... a small little town: population 597. On a serious note though... I kinda see what people are saying about not wanting it to screw up what we already have going on. I think it would have to be treated like AoA, to be honest... as in things get set back right as if it never happened. And I think it would be such a huge thing that the mainstream timeline would have to be put on hold during it. For it to be really well-done, people would have to put their focus on it, and I'm not sure it'd be a good idea right now to divert our attention away from what's going on. We already have Apocalypse coming up, which is huge. I think this would definitely have to be something done down the road. Also, as far as new players are concerned, we could treat them like they come from the crossovers, if that's what they wanted... coming from that AU reality, like Dark Beast, Sugarman, etc. Or they could already have a history established and just come in on the AU and then work their character in. I know if I were just coming into the board, I would want to make a character that had been in a coma or something and when things get put back to the way they were, my character would wake up. Or I would do a crossover, say my character was from that reality and then somehow hitches a ride back with a warper or something. I dunno... just my random thoughts for the day. |

haven't been following the thread all the way but I dig the idea, get away from XMR for a little bit, not entirely, but just a fresh breath of air and instead of making a entirely new section couldnt we just add a tag to topic names? like [AU] |

I like the idea of adding tags to plot threads. That would let people who want to participate, do so without having to drop the current activities, and people who don't, won't have to. I also imagine that we would need to add places to the Plot-Specific area, like "Magneto's Castle" or whatever. I personally like the idea, but if my characters won't remember afterwards, I don't see a purpose. They'll forget anybody they've met, they'll lose any experiences they may have gained. It just seems pointless if nothing is retained. *sees 1337 as some sort of tycoon* |

Unless is was a separate self contained universe that every once in a while we could rp in again. Which is what I favor over a universe revert. Because then people would want to incorperate things from the weird universe into our nice normal one and things would get messy. Also thousands if not millions of lives would be erased when the universe switched over again. That's some ethical ramification right there. But I see what you mean, I'm not sure what people want in regards to long term effects on their characters. We should take a poll. Although giving your character memories of a life they never lived would really mess them up, in the insane asylum sort of way. Should we start coming up with ways the revolutionverse would be different without Xavier? |

I think some of the planning can be open. There could be new factions that had formed perhaps. Plus, I bet there'll be some behind the scenes goings on for a big reveal in the end. |

This is a post I made for the World Without Xavier Admin thread; just so that we’re all have the same info and up to speed with each other. ******* Personally, I like plots that have consequences; feeling that if I make the effort and keep up, I should get a payoff at the end. However, I do see other people's concern about the site-wide change messing up their characters too much. So, how about a plot that's kind of a compromise? (I thought of this one on my walk and it's still rough.) We set up a separate section for the WWX stuff, like we did with the ShadowX battle. And we give it a firm Begin and End date... say February... or June (as examples, probably June). For the month or so leading up to then, we plaster all over the site - Do Not set ANY threads in JUNE - Even for people who decide not to participate, I don't think asking them to keep all threads before that month is too much. There are two separate universes: XMR-Main and XMR-WWX (the AU) And something happens to force these two realities to merge and cancel each other out (End of the Universe time here, boys and girls). We'll call this Event X (an as-yet undetermined event). However, for some reason, waves or vibes from this merge/destruction of reality travel back through time and affect the reality warpers (because of their powers, they're attuned to the reality around them). The thoughts and memories of the reality warpers of each universe passed to their counterpart... like they too merged as the universes had in the future but then separated again but with the wrong person getting the wrong mind. So, they see everything around them as "wrong" even though it has always been that way. The reality warpers try to tell people something is wrong, but being as most, if not all, the warpers have mental problems, it's doubtful they'll be believed. As the timelines of both universes get closer to Event X, more actions from one universe can bleed into the other. I'm leaving out these details and they can be fleshed out more later. However, the up-shot is that, hopefully, we can work it so that the counterparts can see (or interact) with themselves in a kind of "That could have been me" moment. This will allow our XMR-Main characters (and their counterparts) to know what could have been but not have the double memories problem. And then the characters from both universes stop Event X from happening (because both realities are in jeopardy of being destroyed). And yes, I think they should remember... no matter if that creates a freaky time paradox. **** Also, the problem with WWX being strictly a separate, self-contained AU (in terms of RPing)... is that either WWX or Main will suffer; people are going to post in the universe that has their fancy and stay there. Hopefully, by making the actions of one bleed into the other (towards the end), people will have more incentive to play in both. And, if someone absolutely doesn't want to have anything to do with playing their character’s otherworld doppelganger, they can simply play their XMR-Main as that person helps to keep the universe from getting destroyed. (fun for the whole family) This solution will also work for new players, they can simply stay with XMR-Main and help prevent the end of the world. **** I think it keeps to the spirit of Heather's awesome WWX plot, exploring and developing characters had things been different, but without changing XMR-Main characters too much. *** That was it. The plot is still the same; this is just an option of how to implement it without it changing XMR-Main too much. Summary: (in case my babbling has lost anyone) XMR-Main would continue as before, except that a separate XMR-WWX section could be created. In theory, the XMR-Main characters (and their counterparts) won’t know about each other exist until the crisis becomes plain. They would be two separate realities traveling along parallel timelines. You will not have to create a WWX counterpart, if you don’t want to. The EARLIEST this plot could possibly happen is JUNE next year, after Spring classes are over. That’s plenty of time to work out the plot details. Questions? Comments? |

Super idea, I think that'd appeal to everybody more or less. Nice job. But just to clarify, the two universes are never going to completly merge right? |

No, if they merge, the Event X destroys them both |
