John is damaged goods. He blew up a planet, killed everyone except one on it, and has recurring nightmares over it. (Some friction between some of the heroes on JLU would have been interesting though. And not caused by the immaturity of Flash. I would have loved Booster Gold and Blue Beetle on the team causing mischief in place of Flash acting like an overgrown boy.)

Meanwhile, I, Hal Jordan, took out a city, became evil and whooped everyone's ass, sacrificed myself to save the world, became an all-powerful force of vengence, and became human again. And I sleep like a baby. Taa daa! The bestest GL ever. And Batman doesn't like me.

I am not good at roleplaying, so I probably won't be commenting too often. I don't read the comics, but at least in the show it turned out John was framed for that and the planet was never destroyed.

Anybody wanna be The Spirit? He even got to team up with Batman once!

LOL!

That's ok. I actually forgot about what happened on the TV show.

IF you are ever inclined, this is the story of how a planet blew up around John (and probably the inspiration of that episode):

At this point, though, the ring isn't entirely powerless against yellow. Actually, I can't remember for certain, but it might have no weakness to yellow at all. After everything happened with Hal and Parallax the first time around, a green ring's bearer had to know and overcome fear for yellow to be able to attack, but since Parallax isn't contained in the GL power battery anymore, that might not even be the case at all.

Of course at this point, there's a whole rainbow of lanterns to choose from, so no one said anyone had to stick to green. I would imagine someone should look up the orange lantern, which focuses on avarice. That could be a fun role to play.

Kyle Rayner's ring did not have the yellow weakness. Instead, the weakness was the stupidity of Kyle Rayner.

Speaking of Green Lanterns, someone should be Mogo.

I wanna be Night Wing.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #32 on:** February 13, 2011, 08:00:00 AM »

Which one?

bustin98 · « **Reply #33 on:** February 13, 2011, 10:54:51 AM »

LOL
Let's just confuse the heck out of everyone who posts with a character.

There is Dick Grayson Nightwing, and there is Superman as Nightwing with Jimmy Olsen tagging along as Flamebait I mean Flamebird.

nickmitch · « **Reply #34 on:** February 13, 2011, 01:24:06 PM »

And then there is current Nightwing, Chris Kent.

Stay away from that alien bimbo.

Stratos · « **Reply #36 on:** February 13, 2011, 04:34:04 PM »

The one in the Red Hood animated movie. How's that for which one? The one who used to be a Robin.

Or maybe I'll just be the Lego Night Wing.

Do you mean Batman?

Stratos · « **Reply #38 on:** February 13, 2011, 05:26:36 PM »

Nightwing is in the game.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #39 on:** February 13, 2011, 05:27:54 PM »

Oh, I just meant that the Red Hood Nightwing character is now Batman.

So, does that mean you are in for playing?

Roles have now been posted.

As of right now, we have a possibility of 14 total roles but only 12 sign-ups. *plays Price Is Right loss theme*

jrlibrarian · « **Reply #47 on:** February 13, 2011, 11:35:13 PM »

In as the Flash.

And whoa, those are awesome prizes.

With two mafias, it'd be best if we have more players!. We plan to have a story go up each day, either at the start of the day or mid-day. Feel free to play as a villain, hero, or anti-hero. And no, not everyone has to be a Batman character.

I'm just now getting my act in this together, since we had that long downtime, I've been pretty out of it. We actually put most of this together back before the break. Khush is being the hero and supplying the prizes somehow.

Tentatively, items for sale in the points shop will be based off of DC Universe items. Moreso, this time around, players (Mafia and townie), will be able to share points to buy higher-priced objects. Trust and strategy will be key for townie players to purchase items easier than the mafia, since either mafia could probably pool their resources to capture a great item.

That's all from me for now, but you'll hear more in the future.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #49 on:** February 14, 2011, 03:01:03 AM »

Would the mods allow an advertisement in general chat? "I'm giving away X Number Blackest Night Comics" Something like that?
