I'm sure you've noticed that it's only the four of us left; Avaris, Karen, Joe, and moi, and that it's been near impossible luring new blood to the site, let alone convincing them to stay.
I love all four of you, you're seriously three of the best people that I've ever roleplayed with, no joke. You're creative, passionate, loyal, and dedicated.
So, that's why I'm going to throw a couple of ideas out there for you guys to think about and weigh in on.
001 | The Helios.
I've already introduced this idea, and I think you guys all know about it. The Helios would be a new ship, and originally it was going to be working along side the Venia, but now, it would be a replacement. The Helios would be on a new site (fresh start, can advertise everywhere all over again). We could bring across old characters, or we could start completely anew, it depends how attached to the characters everyone are, and how much further you think you can take their story lines.
I would also be bringing in another idea, one which I posted on the Staff Board, but I'm not sure everyone has seen. It really is the bare bones of an idea, but I'll stick it here anyway.
Idea The UGAP/Alliance becomes the bad guys, a la Star Wars/Firefly.
A general or someone high up within the military comes to the Captain with suspicious information about goings on within the government. Maybe, they orchestrated/funded R4 to start the rifts, or made sure the technology fell into the terrorists hands, in order to harness energy coming from the rifts, not caring that it's destroying other Universes and killing people in the process.
If we moved sites, I would also be asking you guys to stay on as staff/become staff, if you want to!
002 | New Idea.
Start afresh, completely and utterly, with a whole new plot/characters/location/setting/time etc etc. I have one ridiculously random one in mind, which would be pretty cool, and set in the present xD I came up with this on the bus this afternoon, so bear with me.
During the Second World War, the American Government were siphoning money into a special program called Genesis, where the World's best scientists were taking human subjects and experimenting with their genetics, trying to make super soldiers to fight in the War. When the War ended, there was talk of abandoning the project, but the scientists wished to continue with their tests, their justification being that if anything were to happen in future, the country would be able to call upon the group in times of dire need.
Over the years, the experiments became more refined, and the successful subjects were moved into a large house in Upstate New York, where they live and train, while they're not being called out on missions by the government.
...
The house would be run by some sort of head honcho, and... well... it would be sort of like X-men, kind of. Except there wouldn't be any kids, per se, and it wouldn't be a school, merely a place for these epic folks to stay and play when they're not working.
003 | Venia.
We stay here, and I keep trying to bring in new blood.
So, thoughts? Ideas? General comments?
