VGM Story Arc?

Here's a topic where you can openly express your opinion about a major story arc/series of topics for Video Game Maddness. You can give suggestions for the story, talk to others about how these topics should progress, and which characters should be in each part of the story.

So, I had an idea where all the major enemies from select games team up, and the only way to stop them is to find certain items. But it sounds kind of generic, so does anyone have an idea to spice it up a bit?

I don't think we should find certain items to destroy them. Now, let's see...'hours pass' I got it. My idea is about the bad guys. here are some I thought might be good or okay:

Dr. Wily
Bowser
M. Bison
Dr. Robotnik
Mother Brain
Ganon
GLaDOS
Sephiroth

Maybe instead of a bunch of villains it could be Heroes vs. Heroes? I don't know how it would happen but a certain event would cause the users to choose sides and they'd have to fight one another?

I dunno just throwing it out there. I also like the ideas of villains teaming up.

I like that idea. Perhaps then the villans team up with certain heroes. That could be cool.

I think the Heroes vs. Heroes idea could turn out to be very interesting. We could have it that there are three side: two sides being the divided Heroes, and the third side being several Villains working behind the scenes. They could possibly be manipulating the Heroes into fighting each other and be the spark that ignites the fight to begin with.
It's just a thought. I like it when stories have a hidden plot beneath what you first expect.

That is a very intersting idea. But how do we really like, plan it right now? I mean, are we still thinking? How about we think of a few ideas and choose the best one? I mean, I don't have an idea right now, except that Heros vs. Heros sounds cool.

I do like the idea of Villains manipulating behind the scenes. At the end the Heroes could team up and confront the villains?

That is a really cool idea that we should do. How many chapters should there be?

We could base it upon how many Villians there are, how many members are on the site at the time who also want to participate, and how many events we wanted to occur between the Heroes before they finally discovered the deception.

Just an estimate, but we'd probably have at least...5 topics?

-An opening where everything falls apart.
-At least two topics where Heroes battle it out, Villains scheme behind the scenes, and possibly have a user or two who are trying to discover the truth behind the incident that caused the fight to break out.
-A topic where the Villains are discovered and the Heroes rekindle their friendships with each other and make a plot to stop the Villains.
-And finally a topic where the Heroes confront the Villains in a battle to decide it all.


It's just an idea, and we could have more or less topics depending on how much we could come up with.

Well, depending on how interesting and long the plot is depends how many topics there would be, but 5 seems like a good starting point. Now, what happens next? Do we try to advertise the site to get more people(asked for a few people on 3Ds Buzz Forum to join), or choose sides now?

That's a really cool idea! And I agree that five sounds like a good place to start, and we can always add more if we need to. I think that maybe we could start it out slowly but we should also find a way to advertise and get others to join, since this idea may need more users to help out with it.

Well now we have 7 people in it. So thats an improvement.

Soon we will have 8. One person from 3Ds Buzz Forum joined the site, but he hasn't made a character yet.

I like Mario's idea the best. He took ours and combined them. But let's wait until we have a few more active members and after I get my powers back (By the end of the survive day one thing).

Well, sounds like Mario wins with his idea.
Anyway, yeah, let's wait for some more members. We Have:
Sonic
Mario
Me (Fawful)
Count Bleck
Sora
Fallen Angel

Un-approved:
Grenadier Elite

Registered, but not made character yet:
Fire Mario

We have: 8 members

Sounds good, but we should wait until the new users have had some time to get used to the site and feel comfortable with creations and topics. We shouldn't rush into the story either.

Right. Let's do that.

BTW: Completely off-topic, but has anyone heard the musician Tom Waits? (Other than Fawful, who I torture him with, and Cave Johnson, whos sitting next to me right now.

Well, soon to be 9, for Cave Johnson has registered.

.... Ummm, Fawful, that makes no sense.

Well, It is-ah, you wouldn't get it...

Anyway, I wanted to see if we could give another shot at this story arc thingie. That or we should think of new ideas.

Current members:

Fawful(Me)
Sora
Riven
Ziggs
Fiora
Bass(maybe)
Count Bleck(he said hes comming back)

Seven members. I don't think that is enough to even start one yet, but I just wanted to bring this topic back and give it another shot. So, does everyone agree with this idea that me,Mario(head mod), Sonic(founder), Sora, and Count Bleck came up with. Here it is:

Do you guys agree with this idea?

Eight is pretty good. We can start when they all approve.

We only have 7, plus Bass might not even do it. 6 is enough, but at least 3 of the members arn't going on anymore. Well, anyone have anything they think they should add to the story arc?

I still like Mario's idea best...Mega Man isn't exactly one to want to fight other heroes...but it could turn out interesting with Dr. Wily at the chair again!

Okay, now for a new active members list:

1. Me(Fawful)
2. Sora
3. Count Bleck (maybe)
4. Riven
5. Fiora
6. Ziggs
7. Snivy
8. Mega Man

8 is a good number, it may turn out to be 7, but yeah, it still will work. 6, on the other hand, would ethier not work or just barley work...
