These character introductions are great. Thor walking down the street in human guise, Quicksilver "Actually, if you'll slow down the gym camera", hah, these are fun. There's a definite kind of thrill to see everyone playing familiar characters that you don't quite get when people make up their MnM characters and say "well, my guy is a brick" "I have fire control and flight" "I picked absorbtion, protection, and swinging".

I absolutely agree....
THIS
is exactly what I had in mind to begin the game..... everyone post an "introduction" to your character like this and we have everything from the "heroic action" type opening (like Cap remembering old times then hitting the simulator) to equally awesome "real life" type moments (like Nightcrawler talking with Kitty)!!
Very nice work so far everyone.

I encourage EVERYONE to do the same...
If you HAVE posted already - please refrain from posting again until either: everyone's posted their opening or when another character (NPC or PC) interacts with you, then you can follow up.
But try to give time for everyone to reply.
Remember 18 players.

I'm going to ask for a relaxed "rule" that everyone try to check/read our game thread and post as necessary at least once every 2-3 days MINIMUM.
Also - try and check this Out-of-Character thread about the same. I'll post OOC notes, questions, and such here. For Example - If I didn't know what you meant or what a reference was about in your character post I will ask here.

I'll do my best to reply to ALL the PC posts up by tomorrow morning by Friday afternoon. But it may run into Saturday night at the very latest if work work is too tough tomorrow and I get no lunch...


I absolutely hate PBP games that lag for 4 or more days by the GM, so I'll try NOT to let that happen. Please be patient with me though - this is the first PBP game I've ran and one of the biggest I've seen here.
that's me - always start BIG!!
thanks

PC post questions

OKAY...
here are some little questions/thoughts for the current PC posts.......


Keia:
would you like to give DocSpoon a brief brief rundown on what you know of the Weapon X program and Nightcrawler's involvement. Some people (including DocSpoon) MIGHT not be aware of the "Ultimate" continuity for their own characters.
As I originally said - you don't have to be familiar and we're molding a little of the Ultimate canon with whatever the Players know about their character. So if you fill everyone in a touch DocSpoon can decide if he'll play in to your mention of that factoid. and if he doesn't it's just fun "trivia" as an Easter Egg.


Mr. Raven:
What's your thought behind the video tape? I'm assuming it's possibly a movie deal thing? Just a minor question I had about it...


Bihlbo:
Who's the person speaking with Piotr in the weight room? Not a big deal - just wondering who YOU had in mind... Sounds like someone that doesn't know Colossus very well yet (calling him "hey buddy")... I'd guess it's an NPC (obviously) if you'd want choices, I'd say it could be any ONE of these "new students": Sunspot, M, Mimic, Rictor, Warpath, Strong Guy...


Mimic:
Not sure if you know but at current in the Ultimate canon Thor does really have the Blake persona (or he hasn't shown it). BUT - as I've said above you can TOTALLY augment that. In Ultimate canon, the world knows Thor as a "crazy" liberal who bartered with President Bush for more federal aid for the rainforests (?) before he would come to the Ultimates aid when fighting the rampaging Hulk. He CLAIMS to be "the" god Thor, but no one believes him and thinks he's just a pyschotic with a big scary hammer. He made quick friends with Cap and Tony Stark, but dislikes Nick Fury and the other buerocrats.
Anyway - there's NO reason why you couldn't say he's developed this disguise... just wanted to mention it to you.



Velmont:
more note than anything - everyone feel free to roleplay a little for NPCs that you introduce WITH your character like Quicksilver did.... totally cool. Very nice job describing it!


nice work everyone so far!

My idea was that it was Bobby, but I didn't want to nail it down. He's your NPC.

And hey, Bobby would "buddy" Piotr. Piotr wouldn't "buddy" anyone really, but that's not because he doesn't feel it. knowhatimsayin?
 

Huh, I just thought of something. In the Ultimate X-Men, it looks like the team is really new together and Colossus is one of the newest recruits. I've been assuming up till now that the team's been together for a few years and Colossus was the very first member who Xavier actually went to another country just to find. Colossus is entrenched, know what I mean? He's dedicated. So someone like Bobby (Iceman) would have known Colossus since he joined the team. Bobby's just the kind of guy who shows respect with friendly levity. He'd call Xavier "dude". At least in my mind. That's what I had in mind when I wrote that out.

if I'm not totaly wrong Colosus joined the Ultimate X-Men in issue 1 so he isn't exactly new.
