As right as you are, at the moment I feel like drawing so I might keep it open. I will draw the places where the game could be set and then think of something. I don't think I will play this one though. It's kinda like when you spend time clean buckets of chitterlings only to not eat them.

Heh-heh...

Buckets of chitterlings? What's that? I don't think I've cleaned buckets of anything only to not eat them, except maybe bushels of apples. Bushels are bucket like.

I think I'm bringing Ammon here, with some modifications.

*Chuckle* My bad, I forget not everybody will now what I am taking about when I mention food. Chitterlings are pig entrails, my family(ies) are from Arkansas, Texas, and Mississippi respectfully, we eat alot of things some people may consider odd or gross. E.G.: Rabbit, Duck, Goose, Goat, Pig Snoot, Pig Feet, Pig Ears, Pig Tails, Opposum, Racoon, that sorta thing, Chitterlings stick to high heaven when bought, not raised and are hours of work to clean. I have a lot of relatives who will clean them, and not eat them because of all the work they put into cleaning them. I was just using that to say after putting a lot of work into something like this, the brain will be to exhausted to play.

Oh and of the list made of the top of my head, I have eaten everything save Pig snoot and ears, opposum, and racoon. I don't eat or clean chitterlings because the smell makes me gag.

That's gross! ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I recognized them, just didn't want to think about them too much.

Like I say with food, I will try anything once, if I like it I'll try it again. In my time here I have learn to never bad-mouth anything until you've tried it. But food wise to each her own...

Considering the number of original characters people are planning, has anyone considered a more New Mutants kind of arraingment (i.e. a training team)? It would explain the changeover from the regulars, and we could still include a regular or two to show that it's still an X team.

Mindhazingsquid · « **Reply #58 on:** April 14, 2006, 09:14:46 PM »

The good Professor would be a good start for that.

Mistiq · « **Reply #59 on:** April 14, 2006, 09:40:03 PM »

It makes sense, less work...I think...

Darwishi · « **Reply #60 on:** April 14, 2006, 10:27:38 PM »

Do all characters have to be of the X-men variety? Just wondering if you can have your loner characters too. (Like Spider-man for example.) Or if someone can play a badguy, such things as that.

Or Emma Frost, since she's apparenetly taken over for Charles in the current run. Or even Just a veteran like Cyc, Forge, or Storm, someone with leadership experience.

tcost · « **Reply #62 on:** April 16, 2006, 05:24:34 PM »

I've played the professor before. The only trouble with playing Charles is that he rarely gets any action. He's had his legs fixed on and off, so he need not be incapable, but the gap in terms of age and experience is a big one, and ladies like Storm and Jean usually have other partners -- and the younger ones are just too young for him.

Emma Frost, on the other hand, has been an explicit sex object from the word go. She might do better than the Professor.

Rayve13 · « **Reply #63 on:** April 16, 2006, 06:21:21 PM »

Indeed, just look at her 'uniform'.

And I could run Emma if need be, though I'd probably also want to run a newer type as well. If I'm doing both, Emma will be something of a background figure, only occassionally getting 'involved with the students' in a direct way.

What uniform? =OP

tcost · « **Reply #65 on:** April 17, 2006, 12:54:46 AM »

Not too much in the background, I hope! For one thing, I'd enjoy having a scene with her -- even as Charles. What characters need filling, at this point, the most?

LordAnubis · « **Reply #66 on:** April 17, 2006, 02:13:04 AM »

I'd like Emma in charge, if only because Charles is.. well charles. He is the old guy in the wheel chair, hard at least for me to see him sneaking after one of his teeny bopper students. Could see Emma doing that easy, just hard to see it with Xavier.

Though, he could be used as the check. Keep the students from just having sex on the kitchen counter during breakfast, trying not to get caught in the act, since he says he doesn't run around reading minds it'd be possible to avoid getting caught when he wasn't specficly looking in on you. Unless he rolls in on you.

Rayve13 · « **Reply #67 on:** April 17, 2006, 08:50:12 AM »

Seems the consensus is Emma as the team supervisor, which works just fine for me. Charles will be fine as a total backgrounder, kind of the boogyman for our rather promiscuous team. I figure (and plan to run) Emma as something of a "don't get caught' sort, since she's always wanted her students to be sneaky types ever since she ran the Hellions.

Does anyone else think we need a created thread for this, or should one of us just post it somewhere? I'm thinking created, since we'll want individual rooms, a Danger Room, a Cerebra chamber, and a few other scene locations.

Mindhazingsquid · « **Reply #68 on:** April 17, 2006, 02:41:08 PM »

A hangar maybe for the X-Jet. A living room, kitchen, the grounds. Since it's a mansion there are a lot of places.

tcost · « **Reply #69 on:** April 17, 2006, 04:24:41 PM »

A created thread, for sure. If this is done well, it will be a complex and wide-ranging game.

My problem is that while I know the early X-Men like the back of my hand, I haven't been reading them since the early nineties. I'm not even sure which characters are still alive, who's gone bad, and so forth.

Darwishi · « **Reply #70 on:** April 17, 2006, 04:49:41 PM »

I don't think it really matters if we're creating a new team full of new and original (for the most part) members. We also need a New York City thread, for those of us who aren't playing X-men...at first anyway.

Natalie C. Barney · « **Reply #71 on:** April 17, 2006, 05:07:36 PM »

Doesn't matter with all the parellel Earths in the Marvel Universe you can have it anyway you want.

Rayve13 · « **Reply #72 on:** April 17, 2006, 05:17:38 PM »

I'm pretty current on them, and Wiki has a decent listing here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_X-Men

Most of those have articles attached that should give current affiliations. If not, I'm content to wing it pretty well, considering people change sides/return unexpectedly frequently when a new grouping is being formed.

Rayve13 · « **Reply #73 on:** April 19, 2006, 06:52:47 PM »

Okay, anyone have any opposition to me going ahead and starting the thread for this?

Darwishi · « **Reply #74 on:** April 20, 2006, 12:15:01 AM »

By thread, you mean game, right? Like multiple threads?
