You are a wide variety of cosmic beings known as "Comic Book Writers" truly eldritch and horrific beings, with indecipherable desires, and a strange tendency to put folks in colourful spandex
And together, you'll form a superhero universe by retroactively "Writing in" facts and stories that'll result in champions of justice, maniacal fiends, and everything in between
A blue and green ball of dirt called Earth will be the foundation for this, it is the basic starter pack for creating universes, it conveniently isn't subject to copyright, and cheaper too, only 5 bucks, its even the generic modern day version
Now lets work out the ground rules for how we'll do this, otherwise it be the not-so-fun type of chaos, the kind that annoys everybody including you instead of everyone except you
Da Rules
The game will be divided into turns, which will be divided into 2 phases, ideas, and results, during Ideas you'll write-in what kinda things you'll put into the setting like places, people, artifacts, events, all that stuff, then I see which ones pass the vote requirement, if votes innately contradict eachothers existence like if you're making a character go in one direction and a different Idea makes them go in the opposite way, if both have equal votes I'll mix them in some way or flip a coin, if one act has more votes I go with that
After sorting that stuff out I'll write down the results of all the Ideas that pass, which usually spans a couple days or weeks, then write down all the new notable facts, and then go to the next turn
Now onto how Ideas work, you can post up to 5 ideas, you can only make 1 original Idea of your own and the rest will be supporting the Ideas of others, though if you have no original Ideas you can just use all your votes to just support other folks if you're feeling like a good samaritan
All Ideas, depending on their concepts, need a certain amount of support votes to pass, the greater the impact of the Idea on the setting, the more votes it'll need, for example...
Basic Idea: 1 vote needed, slightly influence the decision of a character, retroactively give someone a knack for a mundane skill, make someone more likely to get punched in their next fight, etc
Significant Idea: 3 votes needed, decently influence the course of a character's action, retroactively make someone with a street-level hero backstory and abilities like someone getting bitten by a radioactive badger and gaining badger powers, make someone more likely to get into a rivalry with the next villain they meet, etc
Great Idea: 6 votes needed, greatly impact the course of a character's personality for a decent period of time, retroactively make someone with a city-level hero backstory and abilities like a government agent filled with a super serum that gives them alien-fungus biology, incite a fight or bring some peace between some groups of a generally significant size, etc
Grand Idea: 10 votes needed, hit someone in the face with a life changing moment, retroactively make someone with a country-level hero backstory and abilities like a scion of death possessing the goodest dog ever and both defend the innocent with their immense power, cause a large scale crossover event, etc
Fantastic Idea: 15 votes needed, hit a bunch of people with some pretty intense statu-quo changing drama for better or worse, retroactively make someone with a global-level hero backstory and abilities like a powerful tulpa built from the public perception of Elvis Presley with incredible rock and roll themed psychic powers, etc
AMAZING Idea: 20 votes needed, give multiple groups of superhumans crazy levels of character development, retroactively make someone with a galactic-level backstory and abilities likes a 4D sapient space ship built purely by chance from 34 colliding supernovas and with space-time warping technology, cause space wars, etc
Some extra rules
- If an Idea does not add something to and or involve the shenanigans of superpowered individuals (or at least folks with superhuman levels of skill at something, like science or combat), like if you just made an entire pocket dimension with a fantasy theme completely unrelated to the rest of the superhero setting, then you'll require an amount of votes that belong to the next grade for it to pass, this is to help avoid people just rewriting the genre, going for an Amazing Idea while this is in effect will just be an automatic failure to pass
- I will occaisonally add a theme, if your Idea matches the theme it will be boosted, if you're boosted the current amount of votes you have will count as a grade higher
- Don't be an jerk
- Avoid copyright, the lawyers will beat us up and take our lunch money
- Plot holes will be possible, and if one comes to my attention, depending on the severity of it, the hole could cause some PROBLEMS, so make sure to avoid them at all costs, trying to fix a plot-hole might bring it to my attention, but if successful will mean it won't be a PROBLEM
- You cannot support the same idea with multiple of your own support votes
Now let me just write a informational real quick
