Plot? What plot?; No, really.

I'm down with the steampunk for a new setting. Just wanted to throw that out there. And perhaps some more in-depth AU character background and development? I'm thinking that if we stray away from the canon we'd have a lot more creative license, and I'd also have some excellent material to scare my creative writing teacher this summer. What say you, friends?

Sounds wondy! I'm down with whatever you guys want to do. I truly have no preferences at the moment, and as long as we're all in a RP together it'll be awesome regardless of what we do.

:excite dance:

Oh! Are we going to stay on this board or set up a new one?

Slightly confused with what's going on but up for whatever you guys decide like E, but you wouldn't have to make a new board—if that's what you want. If you want to move to a new board, then I have one all set up and not being used at the moment.

I thought I'd use it for help with a fic, but I'm not using and have found other avenues for what I need. I could easily switch things up and change names of specific forums and categories and such. I could also add some other themes if wanted (though I need to fix banner(s) and such, especially for Mot's one).

However, it's just an offer if that's what's decided. I'm up for whatever. Stay? Awesome. Stay with changes? Awesome. Move? Awesome. Just wanna play with you guys. ^_^

I'm not quite sure what's going on. I'm waiting to hear from BHG, because I know that we'd been tossing around the idea of a new setting/plot/board, but I think that resetting or reformatting this board would be easier than a proper move to a new one. We'll have to see what the brains behind this little operation thinks, but I'm in agreement with you guys--as long as you're there, I'm good! I'm just thinking that a change of scenery might be nice. The current plot sort of limits what our characters can/can't/would/wouldn't do, and I've never had the fortune of playing in an alternate-universe RP. :big eyes:

What would resetting or reformatting entail? Deleting threads? Or would we just say that the past is changed...now? Deleting threads is sad, so I hope that doesn't happen.

AU is fun, too, and everyone should have a chance at some point if they want it. ^^ Given my current fic, I'm partial to a steampunk setting. However, I leave it up to you guys to what we do.

Edit: Also, E is right, though you don't have to have the exact setting I'm using for fic, but it is what I'm interested in at the moment. However, do whatever you want.

Inclined to agree on that one. Zhang is hard enough to get into a thread with someone to begin with, and the running plot has known some very lonely days indeed. :big eyes:

Totally agreed on that one. Please leave the board up as it is now! Haven't gotten to making back-ups yet, either...


If Dez should decide to agree  on abandoning the current setting/plot lines, I'd vote New Board. Princess has one readily available anyway, so settling ourselves in new player accounts wouldn't take up all that much time. And we could then still revisit ICUP if we wanted to. And I probably will. Had a lot of fun here.

Then again,  if we'd collectively decide to make a three-month time-leap in this ICUP universe, Dean Howard (or Treize, or the pilots, or some natural disaster) could have rid the school of protesters – and with that the plot. That'd suit me even better!  Not to be a total dud, but I don't feel very comfortable with the idea of an AU RP.

Sorry, busy week. :D Heh... *rubs forehead*

As long as everyone is okay with moving on in some form or fashion we should do so. Sadly with the grab and drop of major players in the series (Duo...) there would be a lot for the new Duo to have to consider if we bring on a new player. It may be nice to open up a new, clean slate.

I honestly just like playing with you guys, so whatever we do is really not a major concern. Most likely I'll end up playing a cracked!Quatre anyway. It doesn't matter what setting.

I would like to try the steampunk thing, too. I think that AU would be fun, even though I tend not to write AU fiction much, I'm pretty much down for anything.

A new board would be best. I hate the idea of deleting things we worked so hard to create. ^o^ Besides, we have to leave a trail of half-baked plots on the internet. It is necessary to our survival as an RP group!

:/ I'm sorry that Motters doesn't like the idea, though. Maybe we can find a way to make the steampunk idea sort of work... like for instance, incorporate it into a post-apocalyptic idea or something? Like a huge war breaks out and the Gundams are destroyed and technology is set back due to a nuclear fallout, leaving the world set back a few hundred years? Steam engines and no computers, that would pretty much be the setting. That way we can work in the new idea, but maybe have a familiar background for each of the characters to know one another? I dunno, anyone else have any other ideas?

And if Princess would be so kind as to be the new uber mod and pretty-fy her new board that would be fantastic. I suppose before we move, too, if anyone wants to call a claim to a character on the new board that would be awesome. ^o^; I know we tend to keep the same characters, but if anyone wants to change up shout it out now. I am willing to trade out with just about anyone for experience.

Poor Desmond! *makes you a martini and a nice foot bath*

That makes sense, starting with a clean slate and leaving a nice, tidy trail of our half-baked plots. It would  be imposing to any new players if they thought they had to read all the past posts.

As for Mot, I don't see that steampunk has to necessarily be AU. You remember how they seemed to embrace the distant past in the anime. Treize's horse carriage, the dirigible and the clothes that everyone in Romefeller and Cinq wore—there was apparently some sort of Renaissance of pre-colony fashion going on. For all we know, in that society they might have moved on to Victorian culture before long, while retaining all the technology of their present. Once the wars are over, then everything is pretty much AU, eh?

There are a lot of possibilities that would work in the gundam universe. One of the scientists could have survived the war, hiding out in the colonies where he's building a supposed device that will prevent war from happening ever again; the Preventers witness a tremendous energy spike out in space and send the g-boys to investigate; the device blows up and creates a disturbance in the time/space continuum that sends everyone on the nearby colonies back into the Victorian past with all of their technology intact, so our characters have laptops and whatnot in the past...yadda yadda. We could make it work. Or make it half-baked kookiness, like always. What do you think, Motters?

That's an interesting idea about changing charas too! You guys know I love my usual suspects, but I wouldn't mind hacking someone else's characters to bits for awhile if anyone wants to trade. Just say the word and I'm game! I think at one time or another I've played everyone in the cast, including Noin (!) and Tsuberov.

I won't have any ideas for a new board until tomorrow night or Friday, so if you can wait until then, I can contribute to ideas and speculation.

Are you saying my board is ugly as it is at the moment?! I'll change the names of the different sections and such once I'm told what to name them.

One question: if they're blown into the past with technology, how does the technology work? How do they power things, and how do things that require satellites work?

I'm keeping Dorothy, and I can run any Romefeller characters needed (excepting Treize and Tsubie).

More later.

I honestly have no idea how any of the technology in the AC century works. Maybe things are powered by the magnetic fields around the earth and colonies? Or by gravity itself, for all I know. Or maybe there's a giant invisible dragon that...no, that one's probably unlikely. Never mind.
Where am I? *looks around*  Oh! I remember this! It's Eton!
