Important in game events (everyone read this)

[Defectron]

Ok, since all the rooms take place in the same universe, there are certain events that may directly or indirectly effect all rooms. This could be really big things like aliens being revealed to the public (Which as of now they have been apparantly) or smaller things like a celebreties death. This is done to make sure there's no continuity errors between the rooms such as someone being surprised at the existence of aliens when its known, or even someone taking a dead celebritie whose already been used. This will list events in order of importance. Some events havent finished happening yet, and this list will be edited as they are.

If I miss anything that you know of, list it in a reply to this topic and it will be edited in.

1. Aliens are now known to the public. The one thousand foot tall Chuthulu alien has been spotted by a news chopper, so far it hasnt done anything yet.

2. Shadow (an alien from southern for those unfamiliar) stole a nuclear submarine and took president Bush and Putin prisoner using her mind control ability. The sub was destroyed by a satilite weapons use by the organization responsible for covering up alien threats. Bush and Putin both died, this means they are available as characters or npcs right now.

3. Kira a paranormal killer of unknown orign begins killing criminals after which he is challneged by the master detective L. Both Kira and L died shortly after the sub incident for reasons which will be revealed later.

4. Dream alien incident: This is from southerns 3rd hunt at which time the dreams of the city were made manifest around the tokyo tower area. This has been explained away as a mass hallucination.

6. Rogue vampires incident, the rogue vampires, group of gantzers, soldiers from the organization all got in a four way battle near the shibuya tokyo area resulting in massive casualties. This was covered up as a terrorist bombing.

5. Kurt Russel, Paris Hilton, Heath Ledger and Tom cruise all died and were gantzers, they died again. They can only be used as characters if someone brings them back with 100 pts.

6. Fictional celebrities Misa Amane as well as jpop group Asa Girls have also been gantzers and are now dead. Same rules applies to them as the real celebrities.

(EDIT: This only applies to rooms that take place in the main continuity. If your a mod who wishes to have their own seperate continuity post here stating that. For rooms in that situation, characters should not be able to interact with characters from the main storyline. If they do it will be an alternate version of that character, but no matter what happens to that alternate, it will not effect the character in the main continuity whatsoever, the same applies to characters from the alternate continuity who show up in the main area)

lol...I always figured the Gantz rooms to each be in their own parallel universe. It's easier to consider it more of a "rare" occassion when another gantzer runs into another from a different Gantz room, instead of all rooms gantzers needing to know that shadow is doing shit like this or celebrities are dying.

I for one think that each Gantz room should have the option of having the world being destroyed if such shit were to go down. So, if they blow up the world...will other projects know about it? Ya, that'd suck.

[Virtuoso]

In Northern at least, it would seem that Gantzers are visible to the outside world. In the third mission, SDF arrived and could see them. However, I believe all the SDF members were killed, so it could be assumed that none of the hunters' identities are known.

[Defectron]

The problem is that this was all worked out a long time ago.
gantzrp.proboards58.com/index.cgi?board=gantzrp&action=display&thread=282

While thats kind of a good point, I don't want to go and change the entire inner workings of the game that have been established the beginning unless the majority of the players want to do that since that'd make some storytelling problems that would be a pain to make sense of.

However if the mod does want to blow up the world without the other rooms knowing about it, such a thing might be possible since that actually was one of the endings I was considering for southern. All I ask is that if you want to destroy the world you pm first so that we can work out a way to do it without destroying the world for everyone else (too lazy to go into how I was planning to do this right now so if you really want to know you can pm me about it, it has to do with quantum mechanics and stuff...)

[KßзŁŁ]

I think it's pretty silly to make mods apply history from other people's rooms if they don't want to. It should be up to the mod whether or not all those rules apply.

[Defectron]

Yeah thats fine if the mod wants to have it be in another continuity thats their decision.

Not neccisarilly, the Government could be covering it up because they don't want people to know that they don't know shit.

That was annoying to read. Anyways, I agree w/ Kbell. Let the mods decide.

[XenoD]

Here here! Rabblerabble!

[Defectron]

Well in the main continuity, they are aware of aliens, but they don't really know what the deal is with the gantzers.

[XenoD]

I'm still surprised a Gantzer's never tried destroying the City or place they were in. Do you realize how much power they hold? Three Ganzters with H-Guns could take out an entire town in no time flat....no pun intended.

[Defectron]

Thats actually not a bad idea, someone should make an anarchist character

[XenoD]

I'm not good at evil characters. They always end up screwing up someway in my head. A Drug Addict Character or some Religious Nut who's put it in his head he's God would make the perfect guy.

See, there are known knowns which are things we know we know, unknown unknowns which are things we don't know we don't know, and known unknowns which are things that we know we don't know.

[Defectron]

Ok, I added in something to clarify the option to have your room take place in an alternate continuity, so this should make things flow easier.

There's been alot of evil characters such as T-bag and Futaba. Just no one whose gone on a random rampage like you suggested. Of course if there was a character like that, they would need to use stealth or their heads would blow up. Though this might not apply if the gantzers are revealed like in the manga.

[XenoD]

I don't consider Futaba a Villain in general, just someone getting ahead of everyone else and using it to her benefit. The closest thing to a Mass Murdering Genocidal Maniac I've seen was some dude in North who killed people. But someone who's willing to kill bystanders and destroy buildings just for the hell of it would be perfect. Espicially if he brought in, oh say a Rocket Launcher.

[Defectron]

Futaba actually does have good intentions since she sees the government as being corrupt her ultimate goal is to overthrow it and then use it to move onto other countries to do the same (she's still a ways away from this though). It's just that she's willing to pile up the bodies of anyone that gets in her way to accomplish this and use anyone convenient like a tool before throwing them away which is the reason that she stays in gantz and wanted to provoke the chuthulu alien into going on a rampage. I guess it depends on what you define as being a villain.

But yeah we havent really had any real anarchist characters in the rpg yet, but at the same time that sort of character would be really difficult to play since if were stillunder the veil of secrecy, gantz will kill anyone whose identity becomes known.

[Benry]

if tbag survives expect him to do some crazy shit in the future. I plan him to take over a yakuza group and make his group the most dangerous in japan with the uses of gantz weaponry. of course he will not tell anyone where the guns come from so he would be safe.

BTW my project will have his own continuity

[Dane]

Tetsuo didn't tell his landlord or the street punks where the Gantz weapons came from, but he still got killed by Gantz. And it doesn't really seem very realistic that a guy who doesn't speak Japanese and is as irrational as T-Bag would be able to control very many people.

You can't expect to fix the world without getting blood on your hands. If you did you'd be nothing by a self-righteous asshole.

And I think someone could pull off the Secretiveness of an Anarchist character. Just Pm the Mod what you want to do secretively, and then just post the stuff you don't care other people seeing.

[®onnie ®ude]

Wow...can we get back on topic please?

[KßзŁŁ]

OK, the point is, you can't go around imposing "reality" on rooms you don't control. Mods decide how things will play out in their room. If they agree to go along with something another mod says, then the two projects can co-exist in the same "reality". If not, then just forget about it and write your own room's story.
