Re: SBS Notice Board
You didn't know about the undeed saga, Star gate invasions or the field trip to hell and back? I almost thought you were basing this talk of introducing watchers off that.
Those three things were half the reason we restarted. They were insane story arcs that got out of hand. People were throwing so much drama around it became moot, and not dramatic any more since people couldn't eat a meal without a new set of invaders and demons climbing out their gravy. It became a battle of character egos rather than role playing. Everyone ended up whether accidentally or not, scaling up their power at silly rates in order to survive/compete against a villain/player. It's the reason some of our more outlandish characters are in the game. We just scaled them down a bit so we didn't have to lose them in the reset.
On the whole the idea was to sweep any mention of those arcs under the rug and try to pretend they didn't happen, without directly voiding certain character historys. I think...
Power creep can happen ever so innocently, but it sets a precedent that everyone can end up following. Mia has been excluded from the normal restraints on power since she's taken up a clear role as the big scary villain. We've done this before, such as a brief time when the past version of Barry lost control of the glove, or a when one of Sho's sisters who used to be in the game went on an electrical rampage. They liven things up, eventually characters group up or figure something out and defeat them. That's the previous way it's went. An example of the power creep here, would be that Praxal is seeming under powered compared to Mia. Evidently, everything should seem under powered next to her since she's been given those "boss" privileges. Whether its fair or not for Praxal to have his booster, I don't rightly know, since it would be a second character blatantly above the rest.
I said before that when Mia really went to town things would become interesting.
