There is no clean breack, LUCKILY. The universe did not ended in issue 14, and will not restart with 15. Vanguard is still the same, metas are still hated in most of the world.

This is, of course, your opinion. I disagree completely.

OK, but let's see, what the world has seen, through Strikeforce produced footage, is that the war with Naecken has been fought just by the Strikeforce, that was presented as composed by only non-metahumans. It was total bullshit, but that's what the world at large thinks.

Don't get me wrong, I am for establishing a common acceptance of metas among the world (at last legally, as the mind and hearts of peoples cannot be won so easily), but that moment has not yet arrived. At last, no one has started to write in that direction. I haven't, because first I want to see the evil MBL plot resolved. Having them going around to make terrorist acts in the name of liberation for the metas, and having the nations of the world stopping discrimination toward metas AT THE SAME TIME wouldn't make for a good story, I think. Surely that wouldn't happen in the real world. I don't know if Vanguard will simply beat them up at some moment, or there will be the start of a metahumans civil right movements to affirm that rights in a non-violent way (a thing that could be born from the Christmas parade at la Perdita), but in any case it will take more than a story to see metas accepted in the rest of the world.
To begin, it needs that the world knows about the effort of the metas community in the Antarctic War. And since nor the Strikeforce or the EPS would have that goal, it should have been Vanguard to film what was happening. They didn't, so the world, THIS time, doesn't know. Next time maybe they will have someone with a movie camera, and things will goes differently. As I had Otto or someone other at the bar saying, Vanguard has still to work on their public relation department. That's a thing I will try to cover in future stories.




To stay on topic, as per Grimm request, I'll recap here my take on the three amigos proposal:

Quote:

Rules, Eurostar's flavour:

1.) One Vanguard member per writer in the main story.

2.) Any character that is left "unattended" for more than three months, and is not removed or secured in any manner, shall become the immediate "property" of the group , until such a time when the creator of said character returns to deal with his/her creation.

3.) Personal sub-stories are to be limited to Solo Threads. Long term plotting regarding Vanguard is limited to epilogues at the end of the main stories (or to posts at the beginning, if the story allows that). Interludes are not allowed.

4.) Vanguard is about Vanguard. Other concepts are to be delved into and explored.......in solo threads. The main purpose of this main story is to be about Vanguard.

5.) The use of the support staff in the main story is limited to the logical use of their intended purpose of creation (i.e. Huerta is a Psychiatrist, Grissom is communications/security, the B-Team are comedy relief, etc), or for creating plot devices (i.e. Lil'Jo is kidnapped and Vanguard run to save him).

6.) Stop to the use of the sig-line in the story posts.



As for the suggestions, I say yes to the changing of thread-name to "Vanguard, Int.", and no to a restarting of the numeration.

About the editor, I think it could be a good idea. It should be elected for a limited period of time (six stories could be a good compromise), had the role of pointing out behaviors distant from the rules, mistakes etc. At first he could say that in the talk thread, explaining his motivations, wait for an answer and then judge and act consequently.
