This is something that I think we should have had awhile ago. Anyone who has a room, post events here that would effect the world that the rpg's take place in. For example if Futabas plan to provoke the chuthulu alien into going ona rampage works, that should be posted here, because it will be a huge event that effects the whole world in some way.
But this can also include smaller things such as deaths of famous people, for example due to certain events I never got around to writing in southern George W Bush and Vlademere Putin are both dead right now (if anyone wants them in gantz, their up for grabs to anyone that wants them)
This will be to avoid continuity errors in game, for example if aliens are revealed to exist to the world like they have been in the manga, no one will be surprised to learn that they do in fact exist because they havent read the storyline they were revealed in. After all the mods post it here, I'll be making an announcment topic visible on all boards that list these events.

I for one disagree w/ this idea. I'm tired of noobs getting into Gantz and knowing exactly what to do. It ruins the rp for me and if I were to rp again...this would kill it for me, being that it'd only encourage it further. I rarely ever see anyone go a mission w/o a suit and I doubt that knowing about aliens or gantz would change that for the better.
I'm still into the whole parallel universe idea we had for the projects. If one project wants to team up w/ another for a mission it can easily be accomplished and then ended thereafter w/ no strings attached. There's no reason to influence each of the mod's plots to the point where they have to limit what can and cannot be done to "their gantz world".

Actually the only thing they would know about it is this big cloverfield looking thing that went on a rampage. They might not even know that its an "alien" since whoever is controlling the media might try to spin another story around it.
As for knowing about gantz, that probably wouldnt happen unless maybe if the gantzers also became visible like in the oni hunt. Though actualyl if that did happen, I think that'd make a big problem for them since realistically the gantzers would be targeted by all sorts of government organizations and the vampires if their identites became known.
If anyone else has any problems witht his idea don't hesitate to post it here. But the main probelm with trying to put everything in different universes now is that alot of between room backgrounds already been worked out since around the beginning of the rp so it would be difficult to seperate things now storywise, and continuity is always something thats kind of bugged me which is why I made this.

Well, considering people captured the hunters on TV in Oku's storyline in Japan, I think it's safe to say a lot of people would know about it if we want to stay continuous (I know we don't necessarily accept the anime or manga as having been "real" or whatever, but if we're going to accept that the rest of our projects are at least somewhat "real", then I see no problems with that, especially if more is known about gantz to the public in our universe than in oku's (i.e. millenion and shit))
anyways I think it's up to the mod ultimately to decide whether or not to incorporate some of this stuff; hell, a mod could say his project is taking place 3 years before the start of southern if they feel like it. If we're just using this to catalogue "worldwide news" or whatever, I think that's fine. What isn't fine is to say that something DEFINITELY happened or not in EVERY project's universe.
