Real Life and Comicvine? Intertwined?
Our life and ComicVine- Should they intertwine in our RPG's?
Alright, so I was just wondering today about wars of our era and if they should tie into our universe. Technically speaking, the Iraq, and Afgahnistan wars are a big thing in all of our lives, and for most Americans as 9/11 was pretty devastating. These 'wars' or whatever you'd like to call them, have been dragging on for a long, long time.Terrorists, insurgents, suicide bombers, and all that jazz are the whole reason for the tragedy of 9/11- and why most of us believe we stepped into Iraq and Afgahnistan to catch these Terrorists. So, are we intertwined universes with all the real-life wars, and other tragedies going on, which we have not spoken of much in Cannons or almost or most of our RPG "posts"? So are we intertwined, or are we a completely different universe without all these faults of our Real Lives?
"What?"
Should we have a different universe, without people like Obama, and all those other guys? If we keep them, then shouldn't places like Iraq at least influence some things in America in our Cannon RPG's? Like the Economy- and especially when we're in debt i guess?
I think the vine universe has enough villains and tragedies without dragging real life examples into the mix. Iraq would seem like a sideshow in comparison to the body count from a single cannon rpg. So I don't think its necessary to include real life wars and the like. Or at least I never have in my posts.

There's been RPGs in which the role players have talk about 9/11 and all that, but is not like we're just going to stick with it.
If I'm not mistaken right now in the RPG universe, US is incredibly weak:
16 presidents have been killed in our RPGs (Like six of them were Bush LOL) Chicago was blown up, the statue of Liberty was deheaded, Empire State building had been demolished, the tower of Pisa, the Golden Gate bridge, niagra falls alll destroyed.
US IS IN RUINS IN THE RPG WORLD!!!!!
So as you see we got enough terrorizing in our little universe to just go after Bin Laden...

"pixelized said:Me personally I don't call presidents and important people by their names.. I just call them "The president" and some others have done the same, so I figure that's how it should be.

WTF? is he freaking Wanderer or have Gambler's deal with death that just keeps him coming back or something? O_O?
So you see, is better to just call Omnipresence people, like the presidents (who is mention in all RPGs) "The president" not by their names.
That's my opinion, anyway.

ALSO: Do you guys think that it would be alright for someone to add a war into their bio?

Anything on the Economy?
"G'bandit said:Economy.. Well the economy should be by the ground in our universe... But still the government pulls money out of their a$$ to buy Sentinels to hunt us down, nice huh? :P"Quality said:That's a good opinion.Anything on the Economy?""pixelized said:Me personally I don't call presidents and important people by their names..

I think that the only way things like War on terror, Economy and politics will ever make it to an RPG is if someone with a good voice to gather people starts doing those types of RPGs.
Like Gambler, Andy, Rider and Kurrent. It willl work if they actually know something about politics, economy etc.. I think Gambler and K do, but I'm not sure about the others XD

True. Most people rally around the well known people, and it's like a "monkey see, monkey do" sort of thing. Then again, wikipedia can fill us in on alot of thingS XD
"G'bandit said:Yeah is kind of a drag really. I remember when Gambler told me to stop whining and to give making an RPG a try.... So I gave it a try, and no one cared. I think Wando and I actually got to talk in the OOC, but the RPG was just my post... It was embarrassing, really XD"Quality said:True.

No more RPG tries for me after that XD
I'll just sum up what I think of your idea.
If we go with it, Earth is realistically f*cked inside and out.

Personally I don't think they should mix, like Exmachina said we have enough problems on our own. Almost any of our villains would make terrorists wet themselves...
