Sammitch, I don't want to RESOLVE the plot. I want to write again, and the year gap is to leave a chunk of time where everyone can write everything to say how things went. In the new story, if we'll do it, I will not write how things went... I will just say that now the things are resolved.
I think this is the change we need to leave YEARS of continuity at our back, without starting with a new characters in a new Universe. I'll try to explain me better:
•The fact that metas are discriminated is a continuity trivia. Some use it (Doc for his stories about the MBL). Some don't use it at all (Notwedge for Drake, and even the whole VE concept "forget" the anti-meta laws). To me, the discrimination it's something that it is better to scrap out. It was, but now there is no more, at least in the legislation.
•The fact that Danny has grown accostumed to the painkillers that he can produce by himself, its a continuity fact regarding one characters, that defines him in this moment. It is GOOD, but it has a meaning only if the back story of the character stands intact.
The way I see a relaunch of Vanguard is this: le'ts SAY that all the convoluted plots have been resolved, and the world is a clean place.
Start a story with a bunch of characters: if the characters are new, ok; if they are old, they have their story intact, so Danny is a junk, and Brianna (one year later), if I remember correctly, should be a mother (maybe I am making this up, I couold be wrong...) But their personal life it's import only in the way it interact with the lives of the other characters.
The importance should be given only to the story: it's Pro's lesson, I took years to assimilate and understand it, but I believe (I hope) I am ready to apply it.
I will start a new thread devoted to see if we can start a new story. Whoever is interested, not just to join, but even just to have a say on the thing, move there and talk.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find any Vanguard posters to jump in on anything. You, and damn near all of us, haven't posted in going on three or four months now. You've lost your right to bitch about anyone's attempt at reviving the forum.
Thanks, Doc, but don't be too hard with Sammitch, he just loves so much Vanguard that doesn't want to see it ruined or destroyed.
He doesn't see the fact that if no one writes about it it's the same to have it destroyed, but love makes blind.

Just a difference of opinion. I don't know if it's a good idea to write off the metahuman discrimination thing. I mean, I know this isn't X-Men, but I am just concerned that it'd make life too 'easy' for our characters, and it'd take away a major motive force for a number of potential adventures.

You know, I completely forgot that I wrote that.
Thing is- I can’t spell or type. I spell so badly my spell check doesn’t even know what I was trying to spell. And I have five Eisners HAHAHAHHA!!

Sammitch, as I see it, the meta discrimination thing has been basically written off the day Notwedge introduced Marshall doing commercials in Wisconsin using his image of vigilante (maybe actually it was Pro that did it, I don't remeber). It's better to eliminate the idea that discrimination is allowed and forced by law.
That doesn't mean that all the people now loves metas. Many, probably, will still hate metas, while some, for what happened in the "past year" maybe idolize them. Just, they can travel freely in America. I don't think it's a big change from what we were doing lately.
To tell the truth, to me is hard to accept it, because one thing I wanted to introduce before I left Vanguard was Euro as an ambassador of La Perdita to the UN, with him free to travel in New York where he was still a wanted man (like Doctor Doom). But I prefer to scrap it and make the Universe more user-friendly.

I didn't forget it for good, but it'd escaped my mind until I read your post.
