Have I ever pissed you off? Annoyed you, do you think you can handle me?

Come one come all.... I Dare you... I want you too...

I have played 'this' Abyss.... 3 times.... I Lost. But, dammit, it's fun.

I usually have more of a... i guess you would call it, 'All-Or-Nothing' Strategy.... I'll fight you any day of the week. Ask anyone that knows me. I'm famous for it... And I dont last past Day 3?

Deadpool has played this game, he knows about it.

Also Me and a certain buddy of mine...Made 2007 famous for 'Backstab's'... I woulda made a lot higher then I did, but I landed on a Danger zone.... Hell, I got a free Power up that year, Midgame, told I deserved it.... If you read my role plays theres already a mention of it in a flash back or two...


The last Style like this was '08... The Quote was... "Its not about killing, It's about surviving"... I think...

It's tactics.... and pleasing the judges... Storylines... and numbers... I think I have made the Highlight Reel a few times....

Plus you dont write the fights... you write the reactions and such...It's actually fun not writing the fights... and watching someone else write it...

Yeah... If this makes sense to you.... Ok... But these are a few tips to keep in mind for the game... Words of wisdom I guess.... Lol

In order to make this the biggest event in Omniverse history, I will be offering a bonus to anyone who recruits someone to participate in this event (hopefully they'll continue to write for the site afterwards but beggars can't be choosers).

This is essentially a 'Referral Bonus,' which we used to do.

Bear in mind that this competition doesn't start until mid-/late-May, so you don't need to start bugging the rest of the internet yet (but be aware that we do have a slight learning curve, both for the Omniverse and for this competition).

The individual must compete in the entire contest. This works in two ways. If you recruit a personal friend or a roommate, I'll give you 100 bonus OM. If you recruit a stranger from the internet who doesn't live near you, I'll give you 200 OM. Yes, I know that's not an amazing boost, but OM is OM and yer helping to boost the place.

Also, the more participants we have, the more prizes (artefacts) I will give out.

#hypetrain

You may use this thread to ask me questions about posted information or questions about things in general. Please be aware of the stickied topic as well.

I will be releasing these over the course of the next week or two. This is to provide members a chance to digest the information in small pieces and ask questions.

That said, some stuff you read now may be unclear until the appropriate page is released, so if I say 'That is it's own page,' I kindly ask that you bear with me until that information is released.

As always, you may also PM me questions if you'd rather ask them in private for whatever reason.

April 9th - Official Announcement through the Dataverse/Omniverse News Network -> Start of the #hypetrain

(Tentative) Monday, May 11th - Signs up will be open and access to the preshow facility will be granted to everyone.

(Tentative) Thursday, May 21st - Signs ups will close. Selected cast will moved to Barracks in preparation for departure.

(Tentative) Sunday, May 24th - Cast will be formalized. Members will receive starting Weapon/Support Item and starting position on map.

(Tentative) Monday, May 25th - Day 1 Starts

*Note - I may (and probably will) add more terms and questions to this page as they become apparent to me over the course of the #hypetrain*

First, here is a glossary of both acronyms/abbreviations and terms that I may throw around. Some of these may be no-brainers, but I like to dot all my I's and cross all my T's.

• PC = Player character (a character controlled by a human writer)
  NPC = Non-player character (a character controlled by the host)
  F2F = 'Face to Face', a confrontation between two or more characters written by the story host (Proto Man)
  Collar = The collar acts to inhibit certain powers, moves, and other traits that make primes special. Depending on your character, it may have little effect on them or it may have a profound impact on them.
  'Weapon' = I will use the term weapon to describe the randomized items included in your survival bag, even if it's not a weapon (for example - I will call binoculars a 'weapon' even though they are more of a utility item)
  DA = Dante's Abyss
  Syntex = The corporation headed by Karl Jak and used as a front for most of his operations

Dante’s Abyss is the premier event in survival.

Dante’s Abyss itself will take place in what is called ‘Dante Verse,’ a pocket verse discovered by the contest’s host, Karl Jak.

The staging area is a lavish and modern facility comprised of the following landmarks/areas:

• The ‘Lobby’ – A grand hallway where the arrivals filter in from the verses. The Lobby is connected to four large domes. At the far end of the hallway is an elevator that leads up to the barracks on the top floor.
  
  The Library – A massive, multi-floor room containing books, newspapers, and audio recorders from various points in history and various realities.
  
  The Recreation Dome – This contains various restaurants and bars serving a plethora of cuisines spread out across a few levels. The top several floors contain a handful of high-tech movie theatres screening blockbusters old, new, and alien.
  
  The Park – A large ‘outdoor’ area contained within a dome. The park resembles Central Park and contains a small lodge where they sell picnic goods and rent athletic equipment.
  
  The Dojo – This area contains a mixture of gym equipment and physical fitness courses. There are even a few private dojos where people can get in some last minute training in anything ranging from combat to general survival skills.
  
  The Barracks – At the highest point of the Dante Preshow Area is the barracks, where the contestants selected for the game will be ushered (via the elevator at the far end of the Lobby) upon their selection. The barracks contains a common area for the contestants to hang out, if they so desire. Each contestant has a very small room to sleep in that contains a bed. Contestants do not receive their bags until being transported to the island.

I submit this for the quest "A Light In the Darkness".


Notes

I started in first person narrative and switched to third person. I'm planning on staying in third person narrative for the rest of my time in the Omniverse, my first person stint was merely getting a feel for the site.

I also officially started the quest midway through the thread, but some of the content beforehand directly benefited Darkshire so I'm hoping that will be counted towards the grade. I would understand if it is not though.

Thank you for taking the time to read through the thread!

Location/Role: Karl Jak resides in the Dante Verse, a pocket verse that he encountered mere moments after leaving the Nexus. A realm of pure omnilium, Karl shaped his personal verse into his own masterpiece, complete with a number of isolated islands and a glorious, high-tech ‘staging area’ that also serves as the headquarters for the Syntex organization—the company through which Karl is producing his televised competition, Dante’s Abyss.

Appearance: A handsome man in his early thirties, Karl speaks with a slight lisp and an even slighter accent that seems to imply he was born in northern Florida or possibly Georgia. His features are angular and his face is dominated by deep blue eyes, and his look evokes that of a southern gentleman, lending additional support to the nature of his accent.

Karl stands at a little over six foot and has a skinny frame. His clothes are all expensive, and despite a love for vibrant colors (like purple), he doesn’t tend to dress excessively. He prefers a simple suit (albeit a purple one with some lovely gold trim).

Story: It is unknown precisely when Karl Jak arrived in the Omniverse. It is believed he arrived amid the second or third wave of primes.

What is known, however, is that he exited the Nexus (into what verse is unknown) and was confronted by a rip in the verse. Stepping through, he entered the Void, and from there, he was ushered into a pocket verse filled with raw omnilium.

Some might call it stupid luck that the producer, an otherwise normal man with nothing unique aside from a creative mind, stumbled upon a temporary entrance to the Void. For Karl, the event instead gave him renewed purpose and made him believe that he was doing Omni’s work. He wholeheartedly believes that Omni led him on this path to provide him with the opportunity to give his ideas new life in the Omniverse and create the first verse-transcendent event since the height of the war with Diablo.

Note – More to come as we learn more.

So under your postbit (the section to the right with your name, avatar, and yadda ya) there's those two lines that say 'Character Profile' and 'Purchases Log'

If you go into your User Control Panel, under the 'Profile' tab, you'll spot where you can enter the information.

The trick here is to copy-paste the url for your Roster and Purchases Log, and then remove everything before /viewtopic-blahblahblah.

If you have a lot of extra crap under your postbit, it means you left in the first half (omniverse-rpg.com/DFsdf), and you just need to go and remove that so it shows up nice and pretty.

I'm just making this thread because I know there are a lot of people with improperly formatted links, and aside from the information in your UserCP, there's no where else to inform you how to properly do this.
