Novakowski Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Bodyshift is a little out of theme. Supreme has a ego so making himself unhurtable IE. invulnerablity or armor(normal skin) would function better in theme. Even body modification would as long as it was not visable.

Mr Fox Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yep, I can definitely see invulnerability being in-theme for someone who had been feeling inadequate before eruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaEagle Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Okay... someone said a few things in chat that were, in my opinion more pointed than they needed to be. I'm sorry for the outburst... but I am frustrated by the Gadgets conversation. I'd like someone to take some charge in regards to setting up some formal structure when disputes or important matters come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traveler Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Okay if you're wondering why The Professor has become The Librarian... well... it's because I've retired The Professor for now, The Librarian is the new inheritor of the ESS Hikari Maru. A character will be up within the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hey, Kamiko, would you mind deleting your post in Infinite Earth: Setting Info and Rules? I'd like to make that just rules and info and lock the thread once it's finished. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fox Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 I've done some cleaning up in IE in general to make it easier to find Rules and Setting info. Hopefully this makes it more accessible for those interested in joining IE overall, or CN specifically. Drop me a PM if you have suggestions on other improvements or for rules updates in the IE setting info and rules thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traveler Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I think since CN is the bulk of players currently, anything new approved there should apply to the rest of IE. For instance the new Gadgets rules. Those should be used in IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 For the most part yes. We'll have to review them on a case by case basis. Just keep in mind that any story thread within IE can conceivably create individual rules that apply to that setting the same way CN has done, so my goal is to keep things as flexible as possible. I don't see the new gadget rules being a problem for IE. We can consider those to be in effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Traveler Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I've finally got my IE character complete. She has been posted in the characters pile. As a note, she is a IE character not a CN character. Also since she was literally born yesterday in relative terms, she is with relatively little profile background (since most of it happens in Episode 6 and 7 of my IE adventures on the Hikari Maru). Hopefully as time progresses I can get more in as she has more time "out there..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Traveler Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well, a new set of posts for the Universe-Hopping Hikari Maru and it's new Captain, the Librarian. Should be fun.

The Traveler Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well, I'm the best to ask in regards to that. What are you planning for IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceWildcard Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well I am still kind of lost of it. I know that this is a old form and don't know much of the history for it. But I do have a few ideas, but nothing solid yet. I needed to know more about the storyline behind the game to make sure I am not messing things up or trodding on old stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 It's a multiverse setting. Pretty much anything at all is possible story-wise, via any imaginable setting. As for what stories are active, only a few. The Librarian can probably give you current details on what is going on in her stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceWildcard Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Okay. I just need to finish making my character. I just want to make sure I got the basic idea done right. If any of you can help me that could be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traveler Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Actually, the story of the Hikari Maru is the current story going on. What I was thinking as after the Thanksgiving Holiday I could start filling you in, or perhaps the Sunday-Monday period. I can't give guarantees because in a week or so of time I will be doing things in regards to getting employment so I might be somewhat slow on the uptake.

AceWildcard Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Okay. In that case I hope to at least give you some more solid information on my character once you have the chance to do the telling of the general backstory of the cosmos. I have an general backstory. for my character. But there are a thing or two I am still worry about and trying to figure out and work on with it.

The Traveler Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well, the stories that tie-in to the Hikari Maru is that my character (The Librarian), Daniel, and whoever else is there travel from universe to universe and experience what is there to offer, sometimes those on board run the story and sometimes I do. Really to build a character for the Hikari Maru crew is to go EVERYWHERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceWildcard Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I see. Interesting. I was not thinking on being one of her crew, but if it ties into it or feels like it then I can work that into my character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traveler Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well, what I mean by crew is that your character decides travelling with The Librarian and everyone on the Hikari Maru sounds like a fun trip. Think of it more like Doctor Who than Star Trek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fox Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Speaking of Dr. Who and Star Trek, I was at the comic book store at lunch today and saw something disturbing... a Dr. Who and Star Trek the Next Generation crossover comic... borg and cybermen were involved. I really love the idea of crossovers, but flipping through it, it just felt bazaar to me. The words that come to mind are 'cognitive dissonance'. http://media.ideaand...Trek-01cvrA.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Happy Holidays everyone! As it is the holiday tradition, everyone in IE gets 25xp. I will leave that up to a consensus in CN as to whether or not everyone in that setting gets it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaEagle Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I would think the stall that we will soon be breaking (I hope) in CN might be lubricated with 25 holiday points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Masters Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've been thinking about the current state of affairs of the IE multiverse, and something is sticking in my mind. There are currently only two people active in IE. Seeing the power level that it has reached over the past couple of years, I've realized one of the main problems with the setting in general. Power Level. Cosmos Nova was a good attempt in power control, although some power creep did happen it was generally contained by the consensus. But I think for IE to be an attractive setting I am willing to do something drastic to begin again and make Infinite Earth a setting about telling fun stories and exploring strange universes (or have adventures in universes without making a jump). So here is what I propose. 1: Completely reset the IE multiverse. Start from scratch. 2: Have all characters no matter the universe to be built with default starting points/costs. 3: Remove gadgetry as it exists here now and replace it with what is used in Adventure. 4: Allow trans-universal travel through more methods than the Stonehenge Gate. Perhaps there are other gates? I am willing to work on a fully fleshed out proposal in the coming weeks if this seems a good way to begin again, and perhaps make things more interesting for players wanting a more lower-powered game. This will not effect CN, it will operate as it does without molestation as it is a sattelite game. I am willing to put some time and thought into this, but I won't if not enough people sign on to a reboot of IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Actually... that might be an idea for a side-universe. I'll get the info compiled. Also, I was thinking, is there anyone that is interested in the universe that Daniel and The Traveler are currently parked in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well, at the time IE was established, there were no other high levels games at all that would allow characters to hit the higher level powers. I still think that is something that IE brings to the table and that it is still pretty uncommon around here. I would hate to see that aspect of the setting removed. That said, I specifically made this setting such that it can accommodate nearly any idea, so if you want to do a reboot you are welcome to it, but as far as I'm concerned the universes that were already created would still exist for those who care to use them. I would rather include new ideas than exclude old ones. Carve out a whole new set of universes that work under a different rule set the way CN does, that way you can have all the fun of a reboot without wiping out what has gone before. I think I hinted that there were other mysteries and potentially other gateways to be found, or perhaps something different. There are after all lots of other ancient wonders still around like the pyramids and who knows where secret chambers in them might lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well... if it is like that... *grins* Proposal is being made now... well when I get home tonight. Been wanting to brush off the old Endeavor account somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Masters Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I am shuttering The Traveler and the stuff I was doing with IE with that character. I can't come up with anything to continue, and I was sort of hoping some others would have jumped in so that I could go somewhere. That's seeming to have changed. So, For now at least core IE is down to one player. I may re-start with things later. With a new chracter. I just need to pare down where the most creative energy will be needed.

z-Coyote-Mad Scientist Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I think that the problem with IE is that it has too many possibilities and too little to hook people in. IE has been much more successful as the placeholder for OW games, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
