RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Writer's Block New Universe Talk Show

Pro, as always, you were correct. A fresh start was what we need.

I also like how everybody talks in first person.

I will be back to post soon.

It's very cool! I love it.

I've also introduced some plots that will be explored in the future (I'm a big X-Files fan). For now, I would prefer to have others to lay the main plot of this story, since I am imperversing on the War story.

By the way, I'm impressed with the work of everyone. Great revamp for Tobias (there is also Lil'Jo!), I'm expecting to see the new Chewy soon, great, great Avatar and a magistral Danny.

You must always write in first person, Danny. It was from the Eugene story that you wasn't so exceptionally good.

Gooz, I mean, Agent Turner, on which side you will be?

The One, a fitting name for a man with two souls. Weird as usual, Pro!

And, lastly, I must say that every day I like more and more Mxy style. Keep up the great work.

Hope to see Bibbo, TTT, LLance and Joker1 soon, and that the new continuity will be easier for DevEm and T5, if they really want to join, easier to understand (well, there is only one page of continuity, for now).

Now a question.
What we are heading? I mean, we will be recreating a MBL and a TOMB? Or something completely new?
I think we are few for two different groups (but we can have two characters for each poster, like before).
If we revamp the two team, I'm for slightly altered name, to keep the name Message Board outside the two names.

Pro did it for TOMB FOREVER, where he altered the name's group to Temporal Ordkeepers of the Multiverse Barriers (If I can remeber correctly).

I would do the same for MBL. I have come up with Metagenetic Breed League, maybe it's campy, but it's only a proposal.
Post your own ideas!

What's with the new avatar,...uh... Avatar? I was just getting used to Orko...

Speaking of which... I'm sure we've all figured by now that my new character is my old TOMB character, Danny Hearn, with a somewhat altered origin. I figured that, as long as we were starting completely fresh, I might as well try a little "Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating Danny Hearn...".

With the new universe, I'd prefer it if we stuck to one team, at least for now. For one thing, I don't think we have the number of posters necessary to support any more. And having three or four teams contributed to the stagnation of our old universe, as Euro stated earlier.

And I don't think we should get too much old continuity introduced into the new universe, at least all at once. So far we've already had the return of Malvan-X, the Courts of Light, Snake Headed Son, the Basilisks, and so on... while these can make for some cool storytelling, we don't want to bog down the story right away. I'm a little confused with it already. Let's give the characters a chance to develop before we hit them with convoluted continuity.

But let's see it. What is Malvan-X? Good or bad people? Nobody knows. I could have called it Acme, it would have been the same.

Agent 57 and the Lioness. I needed some agents to capture Eurostar. I used two of the greatest characters of the old, "first" MBL. I could have called it Agent A and Agent B, but the effect would have been bad.

Even the dialogue between Turner and the Lioness, was only to imply that they knew each other. You don't have to know who Marisa, Daniel and Patrick are. Indeed, you MUST not know who they are.

The Courts of Twilight, it was just a "dream" of Eurostar. Are they real? I don't know, I wouldn't never show them as ture, existing characters, but that's not up to me.

The Basilisks and Boulls are the only two races of aliens ever appeared in MBL stories. I could have simply said "there are two races of aliens"... giving them names it seemed more cool. For me.

The Snake Headed Son, it's a feature of my character. There is no Eurostar without him (more so now, that I am really a father...)

But I understand what you mean Danny.
Let's do something new. I agree.
But I am a true fan of the MBL, I have collected all the existing thread and I'm reading them, resuming them and hope one day to do a cool internet site for the MBL, so I would somehow bring in the New Universe all the coolest stuff of the old stories, even if, most of the time, as names applied to new characters, things, situations.

On another note: I suggest that we try and keep a limit on how many characters each poster can write. If we're going with just one team then we already have rules on that, but if we start to get many teams then I think we should disallow posters to create a character for each one. That also contributed to the stagnation, when you try to concentrate on multiple characters you can't do any one of them justice. Now I know that a lot of people really enjoyed being on all the teams, but I think that for the sake of the universe (hehe) we should adopt a "choose this day whom you will serve" type of attitude.

Heh. Loving it, Av. By the by, I have a cool idea I'd like to explore for the Boulls and Basilisks that I've talked with Danny about for a bit. You know... for when we get there...

Don't fear!

I think I have everityng saved on my laptop. Only the posts of Sunday night could be lost forever...

In a few hours I will repost what has been deleted...

I have lost my last post in the War story, it was right after Avatar ending, but maybe I have it saved on a Zip somewhere...

Gooz, I'm intrigued...

Thanks! I'm sorry if it was kinda hard to understand, I was kinda sleepy when I finished it.

Hey, do you wanna have Karl for yourself?
I was planning to let him stay dead, because I can't have more than one good guy.

Nope, you can do whatever you want with him.

Bibbo, great revamp: I will e-mail you something about Malvan-X, it's nothing important, so go on without waiting for me.

About Lioness and Agent 57, and the just reintroduced Captain Nemo (as a guest star, he is not "my" second character), they were/are agents of the Mandelovian Intelligence, that is something separated from the Malvan-X security lead by Bibbo. They sometime work together, but there should be a strong rivalry between the two corps, just like Bibbo hinted at in his post...

Everybody else is in America.

I don't know if it was intentional, but it's funny how you named the killer with a middle name, like any famous killer...

I suggest that we create a super heroic past for this universe. I read something somewhere that makes a lot of sense: A superheroic universe must always be buildt from the beggining, and not taken from a point when it has alredy started. The fun is in creating it.
