ENDGAME PART 2
SUMMARY

Armed with the Miracle Machine, and facing a universe that's starting to break down at the seams, the Legion must venture through Chronoblivion's outer shells - made up of the fragments of dead universes - to allow the Miracle Machine access to the dimensional space the Big C's core self exists in. Only when they're technically in the right reality can the device alter the reality in it to defeat him.

But Chronoblivion's shell is a dangerous place. Many of the individuals that have tried to look into its depths have gone mad, and every brave fool that's wandered in has never come out, nor have they broken through to the other side.

The only chance the Legion has of breaking through the shell - and also breaking it down enough to get a crack at the gooey center - is if they rely on each other on the journey through. Because if they get stuck there, the twisted pocket dimensions within will grind them away until they cease to exist.

ENDGAME FINAL CHECK-IN

This is the game's very last check-In for endgame! For this check-in you are not required to post activity proofs, this is just to register that you're planning on participating. Before hitting up any plot posts, please check in here to give the mods a head count going into endgame.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name & Journal:</b>

You may post multiple characters in the same comment. If you're bringing back dropped characters for endgame, please list them as well.

Returned players: Since this is just a final headcount for endgame, please also respond.

There is no deadline for this check in. But before you sign up or participate for any of the main endgame plot parts, you must check in here so we can get an overall count.

If you're a latecomer to endgame (like returning player joining in halfway through), you can still check in here at any time before you join in.

With the destruction of Legion World, the characters will take refuge in a decommissioned Legion outpost.

THE LEGION OUTPOST

( Read more... )

In preparation for endgame, we're designating this week for players to set up any threads they want to happen before endgame. This will allow players the ability to backtag for as long as they need. If you'd like to set up a last minute private player mission, you can also propose that so it can be set up now.

You can still bendytime future threads to pre-endgame if you need to, but we thought giving players a solid week to do this would let them have a little time oocly to do their setups and wrap up loose ends.

While there will be chances in the future for people to set up starters in reaction to ongoing events, and lulls between events that will allow for final threads before the main endgame events, this will be the last week that the current status quo of the game is in place.

Then, the first endgame event, "Lights Out" will go up on: 12/13/17

Only 7 days left until the start of the endgame phase, Legionnaires! Gogogo!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask below.

ENDGAME DISCUSSION
Hey there, Legionnaires! Korel here.

After some crit and discussion with a few players the mod team sat down and had a talk about the pacing of the rest of the game and endgame. Alongside having to consider certain things that people felt they were missing out on, we also had to consider some natural hurdles certain conceits of the game have caused the game to hit. We also had to consider the mod team's time and energy, especially with various RL things in the way, like escalating school responsibilities, new jobs, the upcoming retail season crush, and, in my case, having to move in the middle of Alaska winter to a new place and potentially going fulltime at my job, which would entail a lot of responsibilities like even being on call sometimes for surgeries.

Right now the mods are feeling a little burnt out. This mod burnout is no one's fault; you've been an amazing playerbase to mod. But the kind of sustained attention and energy a game requires is just a lot to juggle over a long period of time, especially given some of the RL situations of the mods. At this point in the game, so close to endgame, it just doesn't make sense to try to pull new mods on, either, and Legion being based on a specific canon has always made that a tough prospect.

For this reason, we've decided to move endgame up a little bit, to try to give the game a satisfying ending and move it along to the post-endgame sandbox before it loses momentum and before the mods get too burnt out. We apologize for those that recently apped or thought they'd have more time. We do plan to give you a set time to set up stuff if you want to backtag pre-endgame stuff and endgame itself should have some fun things to play out. The game will also definitely still have its post-game sandbox set up for anyone that keeps wanting to play. It's just we feel we should get to that a little sooner since it'll be self-sustaining and not reliant on the mods for people to have fun.

We have a timeline in mind for the next few months that we'd like to put forth for your consideration and while moving endgame up sooner isn't a choice that's open for discussion because part of it is based on trying to wrap things while the mods still have the time and energy, a lot of the things that happen during the leadup and endgame itself are flexible and open for discussion.

GAME OF THRONESUMMARY

Study of the Book of Magic given to the team by the Wizard finally starts to bear fruit. Close to successfully interpreting it so the team can use its knowledge to find something to use in the fight against Chronoblivion, a few of the book's last defenses cause havoc on Legion World, unleashing magical effects like indoor flooding, inverted gravity (so characters have to walk on ceilings and avoid crashing furniture), characters having personal theme music play around them from nowhere, and a plague of frogs, among other things. The team must work together to break the last of the books' defenses to undo the magic effects and reveal its secrets.

The discoveries in the book will cause the team to start facing the final leg of their adventure, where they'll have to start on a quest across the galaxy and across different dimensions to find what they need to stop Chronoblivion.

UPCOMING PLOTS DISCUSSION
Hey there, Legionnaires!

Periodically, we like to check in with the playerbase to figure out what the upcoming plots are going to be and see if we need to rearrange the plots, add a new one to the calendar, or make any changes based on what the playerbase wants.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILEBASIC INFO

CW: This plot has a lot of body horror, just a heads up. If it's not your cup of tea, you can scroll down to the opt-out section for opt-out options.

Without Brainiac 5's knowledge or permission, the Coluan government has engineered a child from their copies of his genetic material, to further the Brainiac family line for Colugov's use. Brainiac 6, 2 years-old, mentally compromised by an emotion-inhibiting device, and bitter from the mistreatment of himself and other Brainiacs, has turned on his home planet Colu and banded together with his time-traveling grand-daughter, Brainiac 8 -- who has been impersonating Legionnaire Babbage since "his" return to the Legion -- to unleash his wrath on Colu and the United Planets. Though only a child, Brainiac 6 has all the destructive potential of his father, and thanks his emotional inhibitor, no capacity for empathy or remorse.

To enact their retribution on Colu and the UP by converting all UP citizens to creatures similar to what B6 sees as his father's greatest creation - the Roboticans - the Brainiacs have released a techno-organic nano-virus that converts organic life to mindless zombie robots that are part of a collective completely dedicated to consuming and converting every organic in the UP. After the UP is roboticized, the Brainiacs plan to start destroying and reconstructing the multiverse in their image.

The only beings immune to the nano-virus are the Roboticans, due to their zombie preparedness technological protections against viruses and outside interference. With Brainiac 5 captured and converted against his will into a living computer, the Legion must rely on the other big brains on the team for their tech and programming wizardry as the team goes zombie-hunting and helps the Roboticans stop the entire UP from getting assimilated.

BODIES FOR RENTBASIC INFO

As the Legion has both the most advanced defenses and scientific devices in the galaxy aboard their headquarters, the PR branch of Brande's organization has talked them into allowing a super-science fair, saving valuable Coluan tax dollars in the inevitable explosion. One promising young genius has taken telepathic enhancement technology and moved it to a whole new level, creating a device he claims will hold someone's mind in the case that their body dies, to move it into a suitable donor after the fact! However, a slight miscalculation on his part causes the mind-saving field to fluctuate wildly, snatching the minds of all present and planting them in new, totally random bodies!

This will take time to counteract, but a Legionnaire's work is never done, forcing them to do their duties with bodies and powers that are totally alien to them!


HOW WILL THIS WORK?:

Your characters have had their minds swapped with another character’s! They’ll be in a brand new body. This extends to machine intelligences, with humans who get swapped with an AI having to adjust to their new framework of reality. (DC has done some wild stuff with humans and robots in the past).

Their powers will not transfer over.

It is possible for people to end up simply trading, or getting random bodies. For example, if Master Chief, Kid Quantum, Reaper, and Kubo showed up, it's entirely possible for Reaper to end up with Master Chief, even if Kubo ends up in his body.

This will take some time to be fixed, but characters can be returned back to their normal bodies at any point with a handwave of 'They volunteered for an early attempt to fix it'.

Please direct signups, questions, concerns, plotting and other issues to the comments below.

This event will run until 7/22/17
