Become a Super. discussion

So this is where we mods can talk and discuss things about the group and how things are going.

Guys im wondering if i should make cities there own folder and add famous places to each city

I agree with this, it adds more stuff

I still have several other things to add like outer space folder, other dimensions folder, make your own base folder, then onexone with your characters folders. maybe even a super hero journal folder has well.

okay

First though we should bring up the problem of fighting. Angel, Danny, if your reading this best get involved for this problem

How do we handle fights? suggestions?

now we need to work out the combat system, what about this, when you say your attacking you say the stat your using to attack, for example power which you are using. the other person who defends will say the stat they are using to defend and its stats and say how you use that. does this make sense?

The problem is not the idea for you have been giving several good ones to the problem death, its the simple fact of;

one: in a fight it usually is more then just one stat being used at once. For example when we were fighting i used my speed stat to dodge then used my ability to launch a barrage at you

two: Who are we making this group for? Are we making it for the average goodreads user who want to make a character he can quickly dive himself into in a world full of others like him?Or for the more advanced Roleplayer who wants to be able to delve into the details of what happens.

in my opinion the advanced roleplayer, not many roleplays involve fighting and their are plenty of casual roleplays and I don't see many advanced

Alright so if we do the advanced we will be shortening our audience by a bit not to mention not all advanced players will like the superhero theme like we do. Then they might not like the casual set up i have for the group with its rules and whatnot.

casuals don't look for roleplays and they won't like the point system, which by the way could you make official? it would be easier to do that

Alright fine, though your going to be helping me enforce it.

let me run it by our other mods though.

of course, now back to the combat system I say that the person attacking says the stat their using to attack, if its 2 say them and add them up, then the defender says what stats their using to block or dodge, after wards we have a system to see if the defense was successful, say when I was attacking you with the magic blast and you blocked with your power that would be 9 power vs 10 magic meaning I should in theory win, however depending on how much I win depends on the damage, we all have 10 health (example amount) and because I did win that one by one point I would damage you by 1 point. I would add that diferent stats have different pluses depending weather it's attacking or defending but we will discuss that later if you like this method

but for every turn though? Not to mention with the coming of new members it'll be hard to see what peoples points are unless they get there own discussion with all of their characters on it.

hmmmmm, thats true but this is the best I can think of for the momment

like wise, thats whyu i was thinking of keeping things on the casual side then introducing the 1x1 folder for those drawn out fight scenes and quests between characters.

the problem with that is the fact as I said casuals already got enough roleplays and arn't looking for more, olus casuals leave roleplays really easy

look right now it's only the 2 of us, how about we wait for other mods to come and say their thoughts about this.

….Allright, if we get ten more people to join and the majority of them like it the way you suggest then thats how our group will turn into, for now we'll keep a bit more of a casual tone where what you said about fighting is an option. The point system though is official.

good I like that, by the way I just wanted to say sorry if I am forcing you to make the group you don't won't, I only want to help and you should do what you want to

no someone who doesn't agree with your opinion but likes you has a person is perfect for a business. It lets the boss see other options that otherwise he would have put much thought into

like i was never going to do an attack or health system but what you said made me see i need to at least try it out and have has an option.

good I thank you for understanding, by the way their is something else about the combat system that I for got to mention. I know it is already quite complex but I see a problem with it which is that how can you beat some one who has 10 in something? I have a couple ideas but what do you think?

if someone does have ten points in one category then the best way to beat them is by out doing them in others……


Damn……just realized something.

what?

and the problem with that is how do you out play them? anything you do will be blocked by the 10 stat

then it'll just come down to writing i guess, people who are clever with how they spent their points won't lose to others much like a game of chess, the problem is in some parts people will be upset has although we made a fighting system, how do we decide who loses? its not like the other guy will follow the rules all the time.

my special system…..of if you post 50 comments you get a character….im going have to change it if we do go with this.

that seems to unfair, I got the idea in my head of stats being weak against other stats, for example science will be good against magic but something else will be good against science and so on

why do you need to change the 50 comments to get a character?

cause the special deal on why you would want to get a character was that they don't follow the rules of the point system. i designed it so they were "Broken." cause you can't really put a cap on the flashes speed or super mans strength.

rock paper scissors deal? i dunno, i mean i thought about it but it just seems kinda unfair its a insta loss for just that character having that stat.

ohhhh okay, in truth I dislike that because whats the point of making your own character? maybe with certain hero's they only show up for certain event or something?

by the way what do you think of stats being weak to other stats

or……give me a sec…….we double up on the point system for them?

maybe, as I said I dislike that but it's your group do what you want

No i see what you mean, its just you can't really set a limit on some of these characters you know what i mean?

true but then as I said whats the point creating characters? their will be a massive power difference between some of the hero's up to grab, how about this? you can have certain characters? batman I am sure you could fit in to 35 points and such but superman and any other really powerful hero's and villians are unavailibly

I will write you an example.

batman attacked with matial arts! martial arts 10

Next comment
the shadow blocked with his shadow powers. powers 10 ((even nobody did any damage))
The shadow attacked with magic. magic 10

next comment
batman dodged out the way. speed 8, 2 damage was dealt to batman.
batman attacked with batarang. science 6

next coment
The shadow blocked with shadows and attacked with them as well. power 10 dealt 4 damage to batman
The shadow attacked again with magic. magic 10

this is how it will go in my head, of course you will write more and say how that damage affected you

hey I don't know much about super hero's either but I try my best

I got to go I should be back in an hour

tats why i said it would just be easier to write things out then take it to the 1x1 section…..when i get around to making it.

Allright after a couple of days I've decided there will be no fighting or health system, it would take to much out of even the most experienced role-player and i don't want it to be a burden to our members. However the point system will be used officially for ALL characters. even if you want to use batman or superman or whoever. it'll be up to us mods to check if the system is being used properly.

I am okay with that

So i have decided on our fourth and final mod for now and with it a new discussion for us mods, shall we redo the weakness system? It is clear that it could have some problems with it

First what counts has a weakness? i was thinking a part of the body or an element like achilles heel, sunlight, or kryptonite A weakness can also be a phobia though.

hmmmmm, I do not know exactly, I was thinking the same as you, I guess a phobia counts as a weakness but it has to genuine and impossible to beat as you said

Exactly.

second problem is should people have more then one? maybe two or three? maybe like this

1 weakness:5 points
2 weaknesses:8 points?
3 weaknesses:12?

I understand that but I find that a bit op, I like the one weakness

same,

Hey guys so i know i haven't been active recently and that hasn't been fair for you guys to which i say i am sorry but sports season has started once more for me and since this is my last year of high school i do need to get into more shape then ever if I'm going to join the military by next summer, i have also been doing other roleplays and i don't like the idea of just abandoning them. I will try to become more active here but do not be surprised if its a failed attempt.

because nobody has asked to rp, I asked plenty of times, though I would like this group to continue
