Dante's Abyss and the Dataverse

[Karl Jak]

As you know, this entire contest (starting from the Barracks) will be filmed and 'streamed' (depending on the verse, it might be projected through less technical and more magical means) to all parts of the Omniverse.

Due to how hip Syntex is, there will be a lot of social media activity, and all entrants are permitted to have Dataverse-capable devices on the island (although all they can be used to access is social media websites like Omni Twitter -- no emails, no porn, no nothing). Although you are already being filmed, you may still upload videos and other things to the Dataverse MBs throughout the contest. Think of this as a way to connect with the viewers (and fans) who may support you. This is an optional story element, and while I will be reading everything in the Dataverse that involves DA, it won't have a strong bearing on your chances, because I know some writers are masters of the Dataverse and some are not.

You must have a Dataverse Device to use it during the Island.

[Samus Aran]

oh this is brilliant news.

[Guu]

This actually answered a question I was going to ask, thanks!

I'll have to justify Guu having her dataverss device on her instead of her stomach considering she won't have access to that move after the games start.

I'll look forward to the youtube videos and tweets that will come of this. ^^

[Monkey D. Luffy]

I had a feeling emails wouldn't be allowed, that's why I sent one to Buggy right before the Barracks. Glad we still have access to them though! #tweetsbeforedeath.

Oh my gaw I think I'll make that a thing.

[Retane]

Do you gain OM in the DATAVERSE? Do your DATAVERSE post COUNT towards Day 1?

[Ganondorf]

@ Retane: Yes. Yes you do gain OM from DV posts. However, I'm unsure of what you mean towards the latter.

[Mickey Mouse]

Kenny- Guu? She has a lot of moves!
Me- She has alot of SP as well it seems.
Kenny- She's strong
Me- I havent read a thing of hers really. But I am pretty sure she got a lot of it from the Dataverse.
Kenny- What is thst anyways?
Me- I don't know its some ***********. How would Retane know?

[Ganondorf]

While Guu DOES post on the DV a lot, she actually has a ton of stuff in the other Verses as well. She's one of those "I can write once or twice a day easily" kinda folks. You know, unlike people like me who are "Maybe I'll write this month" types.

[Retane]

I like the chick. Has never done anything bad or wrong to me. Started giving away panties... Just cuz of me =P

I'm Just not OK with dataverse being a part of this thing....

[Ganondorf]

Why? It doesn't really effect you at all. Like... AT ALL. Alex said he's not gonna be looking at those posts when determining Rankings. So, basically, it's just a little fun thing people with extra time can do on the side.

[Deadpool]

Da being on the Dataverse makes loads of sense?

I've always imagined DA as a reality show for those with a fucked up sense of what entertainment is.

I would actually expect the Dataverse to have live streams of DA. And that the OmniTwitter would explode with hashtag references.

[Guu]

Writing for the Dataverse is so much fun! Just a nice break form prose to post some tweets, or do a silly fanfiction, or write up a youtube video! And really, it's a very different way of character development. Heck, her battle with Gilgamesh would have never happened if Guu hadn't done some trolling on Twitter. Where'd I be without that battle, still telling stories about a racist mayor? I doubt Guu would have even ever come in contact with Gilgamesh if Twitter hadn't been in place. It opens so many door for collaboration and story telling.

And yes, I do roleplay as Guu outside of the Dataverse. I've dumped so many words into building up my kingdom and I've come a long way with Guu as a character. However, building the Dataverse as it is today has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever done and I'm glad I've made such a major contribution to this universe of ours.

[Retane]

Greg said you are a keystone on the site for the Dataverse in chat.... I have never read anyones writing really on here... I dont have the time. Kenny Mentions crap sometimes.., But meh...

REtane= Exactly what the Abyss calls for

[Deadpool]

I see the Dataverse as a nice way to include little tidbits that just don't mesh well into your post. For me personally, I like to use OmniTwitter to add that little extra bit of 4th wall that might've been to overboard for my post.

[Ganondorf]

Guu basically turned the DV into a place where nothing ever happened into one of the most frequently used boards (if not THE most frequently) on the Site.

[Retane]

*shrugs* When he goes Merc... or get to his base.. maybe? But I am not Complaining MUCh... It's different....


I Am a pain ALL THE TIME about different...

PLus IM scared... Greg'll ban me if I screw up anymore and he see's it.

You should probably try to work in conjunction with Greg then. See what you can/can't do.


I think it was kinda dumb you got warned for your DA post, just because you used quotes like 4-5 times =/

[Guu]

Actually, he was warned for not using them in the first place, Greg edited in those quotes after the fact.

OOOHHHHH ok. lol


Why did quotes matter in the post? because he was taking lines from a song and we're not supposed to gain OM from them?

(sicne we all know you don't get OM credit for quotes)
