Reveille was a guy who was one of the top posters on enworld who was generally liked and trusted until he played a hoax on the entire board (which caused him to be perma-banned).
The game I was brainstorming was going to be either a fantasy streampunk or a space western using M&M (since I didn't want to get bogged down in all of the Modern d20 subsystems). I haven't really committed to what side of the coin I wanted to use since allot of the ideas I had could be used in either type of setting with little changes (ie. golems/"war forged" == androids, fantasy races == aliens, and an on going 'war' which the characters deserted from).
For a time, I was also debating on using Star Wars Saga, but I then I would have been to compelled to have the character's derail the galactic civil war (ie having them blow up the Sandcrawler that held R2D2 and 3 CPO and pulling raids on Imperial and Rebel fleets).

Thy wounds are healed!
Brainstorming...
* the characters highjack a prototype ship (either hired, by accident, or other) and both sides want it/ fantasy they have the plans for a golem that can be massed produced to enhance either sides army
* characters wake up in labatory (fantasy/modern) with strange abilities??? lab is on fire/under attack
* New settlement/planet that is "out of the way"-- players are refugess, citizens, or some other reason to be there see placed destoryed by new weapon they are only survivors and on the run (M&M test weapon gives players powers)
* put into a "Running Man" situation that they survive and now hunt whose behind it... fantasy could be new hunting sport/ modern(superhero) trying out new weapons powers/ Star Wars could be bounty hunter traing they got caught up in and they are the hunted
I'll be ready no matter what you choose btw what was the hoak could I go back in the threads and find it??????

One of the background ideas I had was going to run along the lines of robots/golems/warforged/androids being slaves/property and one of the issues in the ongoing was their "official" status and the morality of mass producing them for battle when some become sentient. Then things begin to snowball for both sides of the conflict when the robots/golems/warforged/androids and living soldiers decided that they had enough and begin deserting en mass to become outlaws. Some of the robots/golems/warforged/androids then decided that they would rather build their own empire which was causing a Mexican Stand Off type of situation to occure leading to much chaos and distruction.
Yes, the western in my idea was more of a "spagetti" western.
Also, you could see why my idea would derail the Star Wars universe especially since I don't think a Galactic Civil War would take 40 years to run it's course (I consider Episode I/II as the start of the civil war since the separatists did rebel against the Republic/Empire.).

Here is some background, he "created" a fiance/girlfriend which he talked about of about 1 - 2 years. During that time alot of us assumed she was real and he often vanished for extended periods of time (he stated that he was doing things with his fiance). Unknown to everyone, he was using various alts (he had at least 20 - 30) when ever he was absent from the board.
Eventually, things with him got bad and he wanted to know if he was respected and if people would miss him. To find out he decided to log in as "his fiance" and he posted a message saying that he fell into a coma (most likely diabetic) and was sent to the hospital. Durign the course of the next month he kept up this story and some people started to become suspicous and sent PirateCat emails and an investigation began.
The investigation was wrapping up as Revielle's fiance was posting about Revielle recovering... and it was discovered that Revielle, his fiance, and several other EnWorld users were all logged in from the same IP adress. Piratecat then contacted Revielle and he confessed then was systematically banned.
You probably could find the threads using google. Just look for "Rev's mandy" "About Revielle" also there is fallout and reaction in "The HIVE is hurt" (last several pages happened during the reveal) and "Once, Twice, Three times the HIVE."
The messed up thing is, even though I diffended him during at first, I know that if he would have done the same hoax now, I would have been up in arms since my uncle of recently fell into a diabetic coma then died a week later.

Someone needs to cast a spell or something.

Post counts are overrated. If I wanted more posts I'd hang out at the Hive.
Anyway, no-one's beating Cronthian. Not sure anyone's going to give RA a run for his money anyway (and he hasn't been around since he destroyed LEW).
I actually agree completely with stonegod.
There's only one forum I ever cared about post count, and that was a site that was essentially an RPG system itself, where your character's abilities were determined by your post count. I accumulated 8,000 posts there within 6 months, due to the amount of roleplaying I did.
Here on Enworld, I don't see post count as being that valuable, as the opinions and the mind behind the posts are what is important, and you never know how much D&D experience that July '09 poster with 11 posts has, unless it was indicated in those eleven posts.
