Traveller's Café: Discussion, brainstorming & advice

[Nightkill the Emperor]

That has some dangers, like shared warning history and the like, though my warning level is currently zero.

Well, we can always keep it as is.

I mean, it's not that much of an inconvenience to notify me of any changes that need to be made.

I was going to call dibs on the next one, admittedly.

But a shared account works best.

Trying to steal my life's work from under me, I see?

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

You know you've entered a new realm of insanity when you're taking nearly every rp you did over the last three years and planning to conclude almost every loose end at once.

Like EH,sir?

And all of my others.

Is that even possible for you Nightkill? I thought you had conquered them all already.

There's a new challenge for everyone.

I have had a career of three years in the Ur-P2TM and beyond. The majority of this time was spent with Khan, building up unknowingly a shared Omniverse of about a dozen RP's, with EH as its focal point.

Khan has decided to end not just EH, but every single one of them in one blow.

We need to emphasise the "unknowingly".

It really just started with the occasional dick joke and now we have a very solid Omniverse and creation stories and such.

This was born out of Khan's scrambling for an antagonist and my desire to show him up.

Do any of you wonder if max Berry will ever use some of our ideas for RP's and turn them into actual novels?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

No.

Because I'm sure he's more imaginative than that.

[Nationstatelandsville]

No.

Because I'm sure he's more imaginative than that.

And because he fears us, I'm sure.

Can you imagine the pitch meeting for P2TM?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

No.

Because I'm sure he's more imaginative than that.

And because he fears us, I'm sure.

Can you imagine the pitch meeting for P2TM?

"First we need to sacrifice a virgin. Then find me three vials of unicorn blood."

[Constaniana]

Do any of you wonder if max Berry will ever use some of our ideas for RP's and turn them into actual novels?

I'm sure he would, that dastardly monster. Did you hear that he burnt down an orphanage on Tuesday?

I don't think Max Barry would do that though.

[Kassaran]

Why do you guys speak of him like that? He's the creator of the game, certainly some of the things we come up with here can inspire him sometimes. Perhaps he just looks into the forums whenever he has a writer's block. That's what I do, I can't write in an RP I'm in, I find an open Diplo, then write until an idea comes to mind, then I sign off of the Diplo and return to my others...

[Nationstatelandsville]

Why do you guys speak of him like that? He's the creator of the game...

You've answered your own question.

[Constaniana]

Anyone who caused this cackling band of nitwits to come together deserves the fiercest of tauntings.

He'd better pay us first.

[Kassaran]

He'd better pay us first.

he doesn't have to, It's somewhere in the Terms of Use somewhere that all material made here is not our own, but rather belongs to him. I'm certain of it... just don't want to look for it...

Legally he doesn't have to, but I don't think he's the kind of guy who steals his users' works and leaves them with nothing.

I am, however, certain there will be casualties.

Few will survive.

I refer, of course, to the real world.

Not the case. The ToS states:
"When you submit content to NationStates.net, you grant the site and its administrator(s) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to reproduce, distribute, transmit, and publicly display such content. "
They can reproduce/distribute/transmit/display your posts, but they can't steal your ideas wholesale because Max Barry somehow owns them, because as far as I can tell, under no part of the ToS does he actually have that power.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I'm somewhat curious - how many people here have done a crossover rp of sorts, or have their rps in a sort of multiverse? (We call it an Omniverse because we're cool).
