This Site Needs Some Life....

[Magneto]

Okay, thanks to Bobby (cause I keep forgetting about this board for plot suggestions) I have decided to address this issue here. Like I said in my other post elsewhere, this site needs some activity, something good and solid, worthy of the X-Men title. The Invasion thread is great and I love the idea of giving Rogue her superhuman set of powers finally ^^, but I think we need some more thread arcs going on.

Pyro had brought up some interesting ideas a while back, the whole Legacy thing and the MRA are two things which tickle my fancy, plus I think we need to start addressing the issue of the detainment camps as well. Now I know Pyro is having compy troubles (crappy cheap technology >.<) so, maybe we can have a little fun until our resident leader is back. I've started a thread titled "Aren't You Tired of Being Weak", and anybody is free to join if they wish. Just thought some action might break this whole monotony of talking and flirting with one another >.>.....<.<...*ahem*.....Anywho, if anyone wants to discuss some ideas, drop me a line.....please?

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

I'm all for the MRA bit after Py gets back - and the Bobbynapping and subsequent rescue mission. I volunteered a bit back for Josh to get roughed up during the 'napping itself - maybe a bit of tug-of-war with Mags? Hee.

Bobby/Warren and I have some ideas for after those events, but they're more constrained to interpersonal stuff within the Mansion. I think you're looking for more overarching plot. Any idea where you're going with your current thread? After a bit, an X-Men team could try to intervene, depending on your goal.

[Magneto]

Thanks for replying Josh. As for where I'm heading....well, I thought about just having Mags giving a bit of a show of strength, a "I'm back, now cower before me" sort of thing but I was thinking and figured this might be a good way to begin a bit of an intro to the whole detainment camp plot. Maybe he could learn about the detainment camps somehow, say Mystique could dig something up while Mags is tearing apart the shipyard?

[rileyfletcher]

Well, I really like those ideas and wouldn't mind joining in on it, if i'm able to get on enough for it. I also have a few ideas for Riley, cause I need to get her going again. Like something between Mags and Riley, since they got along so well at the grave site. I don't have a lot of ideas for that, but if you want to do that and have more ideas for it, then let me know. Also I was thinking that something could happen to Riley, like she could become an expariment at a government place, or something, and in the end it helps her powers out and she has a bit more control over it, but not full control.

I'm not really sure about these ideas, but if anyone has better ideas or fix the ones I have up, then let me know. I also need some ideas to do with Lexy and get her started, since the other two threads she was in seemed to have died.

[Magneto]

Well, Mags is always out trying to recruit other mutants to his side and to the cause. I don't see why he wouldn't try to coerce Riley, I mean, it isn't like he's just trying to build some elaborate empire with a select chosen few....>.>....<.<...nope, not at all.

[rileyfletcher]

Ohhhh!!!!! I have an idea. She could join the BH and become a spy. At the moment I'm not sure what side she'll be faithful to, even though I think it would be the X-men, but she could go back and forth between the two. Since at the moment, she is not really sure if she really belongs at the mansion, since she doesn't do a thing.

[Magneto]

A spy!!!! >.>....<.<....Sounds sneaky and interesting, just be cautious of Mystique, she's rather crafty and good at sniffing out moles and what not.

[rileyfletcher]

Hahaha! I'm guessing you like my idea. Don't worry, she'll be careful. But then, wouldn't she and Mags, know that she is kinda still living at the mansion, spying a bit for them too.

[Magneto]

I'm all up for the idea, we'll see how it fits into her real first meeting with Mags at the shipyard. Hopefully some others will join us there soon and by the way, anyone else reading this.....throw out some ideas here, I'm open with Kurt as well so we don't have to just limit threads with me to one character.

[rileyfletcher]

Alright, I'll continue on with the shipyard and see where it goes. But if it does go well with them, then I'll still do the spy thing, if people think it's a good idea and alright with them.

[Pyro]

Py's made her way to a computer at last, heyhey. Sorry to have left you all in the lurch again. Apparently you can't get keyboards for my laptop anymore unless you order them from Korea, so we're waiting on that. I'll be using the school labs as much as possible, though the pudnuf will have to take a backseat until I have a) privacy and b) saved drafts of half-done posts once more.

Anyhow, assuming I get back... Alcatraz arc needs to kick off fairly soon. Once I wrap up my *interview* with Wanda and *date* with Bob... Magneto is, I believe, intending to have a serious talk with me in which the issue could come up. Then we need the phase one attack (me, Lance, anyone else not one of the big, powerful adults) and subsequent cock up. Both MRA and Legacy can come out of the ashes of that one...

Also, the Bob-knap arc... ?

Well, I'm not *back*, but I'm around.

[Bobby Drake]

My $0.02 - I'm wary of getting involved in an inter-PC combat thread without _some_ notion of where it's going.

More specifically: yes, OK, Mags invades the naval center for a show of strength, and fortunately nobody issued the soldiers plastic weapons, so soldiers attack Mags and he kills them... cool.

I can drop Bobby in there and he'll be horrified by the slaughter and try to stop it, and Mags and Bobby can take some shots at each other, but... then what? Will Mags leave if presented with a show of force? Is it a fight to the death and one of us creates a new PC when we're done? Is it a fight until one of us gets KOed and the other one walks away for some reason? Or until one of us gets captured? Or...

Does this make sense? It's not that I need to know everything that's going to happen, but I'm afraid if we don't know where we're going, then we're just going to end up dancing lamely around each other. Which is why I haven't dropped any of my chars into the naval scene.

Perhaps I'm being silly... but I'm new to this. The only PC fight scenes I've been in was with Pyro, and that was actually more flirting than anything else, and with Sherridan, which very quickly became a shouting match. If others have more experience with inter-PC fight scenes, by all means drop your chars into the fight and show me how it's done!

[Magneto]

Okay, just letting everyone know, I've got a bit of an idea in mind for the navel thread. Mystique will make an appearance soon enough, so basically, Mags is just running interference while she handles something else. I just thought it might be a good way to lead up to the kaytraz expedition, a way for Mags to get some info on the containment camps. Also, I don't plan on doing any characters in, as Mags will leave of his own accord as soon as Mystique makes her appearance. Just jump in and throw what you've got at the old man and we'll go from there.

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

The info on containment camps kind of struck my attention. Bobby and 'Ro are currently having a conversation about that. probably cumlinating in some kind of mission, since the only real reason the X-Men have been dragging their heels on the topic is that Storm had no player. hee.

So... what if (since Bobby/Storm was/is at an undetermined time prior to the Naval attack) the X-Men somehow get onto the scene as part of their containment camp recon, and definitely encounter Mystique - possibly Mags?

I know that the timing is rather "lucky", but whatever. It's a thought. Perhaps all pertinent info is rather curiously stored at that naval base.

It would also be a chance for a non-lethal X-Men/BH confrontation, since their goal is rather the same? Potential for a minor skirmish and chitchat. Maybe...?

[Magneto]

Well, sounds good, I'm all up for some confrontation and maybe the two groups could face off on ideas of how to handle the containment camps. I mean, do the X-men protect those that are butchering and abusing their kind from someone who is only dispensing proper justice (in his eyes anyway) and turn on their own kind in the process? A very ethical and moral dilemma if I do say so myself.
