I can definitely be superhero if nothing else.

I'd also say I can do worldbuilding.

What's wrong? I think it's a miracle no one took the shitpost to 500 statement literally.

I got an RP in the works, a balkanized North America set in WW1.

I blame ~~Dera~~ The discord.

Thanks fam, anyways I can do flags, rosters, and maps and probably handle shit like app accepting and be an "Internal Affairs Officers". I'm not the hero The Pub wants, but i'm the one it doesn't need.

EDIT:

Alrighty, as part of the new thread, I've been working on the creation of what I'm calling "The Pub Advisory Board. To explain it simply, members can choose to join one of three sections of the Advisory Board.

Writing Advisors: Basically what it says on a tin. You can apply as a general writing advisor, or you can specialize in a particular field such as science fiction or drama. Already got a few people gunning for this, so get in while you can.
Openings:
General Writer Advisors
Worldbuilding Advisors
Nation Advisors
Action / Adventure Advisors
Drama Advisors
Science Fiction Advisors
Horror / Thriller Advisors
Political Advisors
Future-Tech Advisors
Modern - Post-Modern Tech Advisors
Superhero Advisors

Utility Advisors: The idea with this is to create a base of individuals who can provide banner art, rosters, maps, the works. Anyone with artistic ability, really. My preference for this is to have at least one person for a particular field, but having too many people in this group isn't as much of a problem.
Openings:
Banner Artists
Cartographers (Map Makers)
Roster Creators
Flag Artists
Pixel Artists
Other Artists

Internal Affairs: This is replacing the previous laissez faire approach to self-moderation. Basically, Internal Affairs is the official leadership of the Pub. This is going to be relegated to members that have been here the longest, with a preference for folks that have stuck around since the beginning. The idea is to have a small group of people policing the thread to keep the shitpost swarms to a minimum and to keep moderation's nose out of our business by ensuring the thread stays as nontoxic as possible.
Openings:

Internal Affairs Officers (Max of Four)
Applications Supervisors (Max of Two)

In short, nothing much is really changing. Moreso just evolving to provide more services to those who might become involved and those already involved.

I'd be willing to fill in as a future tech adviser, nation adviser or MT adviser.

Hmm. Not many of you guys actually know me. So, I probably wouldn't make it to any part of "The Pub Advisory Board".

But, if by some miracle it is possible, then I would probably be best at "General Writer Advisors".

See thing is half the Gestapo wasn't here.

This is why we should purge the old and bring in some new faces, like me.

Well if you are the Gestapo and or secret police, it stand to reason that at some point there will be a purge. Think what happened after Valkyrie failed.

#PurgeNation

Valkyrie was the operation to overthrow Hitler if I recall correctly, right? If so, yes, there would just be a little (lot) purging.

I've already privately volunteered for World-building advisor and/or Internal Affairs Officer, but thought I'd put it out there publicly.

So I am working on a film noir rp set in the 1920's called Hot Lead and Cold Hearts, it will go up when my current rp ends, but i have a couple others planned: Welcome to the City, which will be a modern neo noir rp set in the same city as the above and may be a continuation of it, and it will be a bit like Sin City, As well as Beneath the Shadows, name pending, which will be a modern supernatural noir type rp also set in the same city.]

What advice would you guys have for creating a city for such purposes?

I have a bit about it, such as: It was founded in 1803 started as a trading post and timber hub, then with the mass immigration and full use of the waterways in the US, it changed. It is along the Canada-Pennsylvania border and close to several rivers in northern Pennsylvania. During the 1920's as well as a few other periods afterwards it has experienced periods of heightened crime.
