"funnily enough, it always seems to begin with someone "just wanting to talk." I'm not naive, Euro, I know how you work. the nostalgia is misplaced in my view because it seems imo that you're only able to fully appreciate something when it's gone, rather than enjoying it while it's around. I know I'm not only one who shares that opinion, although I may be the only one willing to say so."



Well, I enjoyed a lot the HR Universe as of the first page of post on issue 1, when it was an Ultimatization of the MBL by everyone involved, minus T5 that being not around for the MBL, he alone introduced a new character. I enjoyed it all the time, up around issue 12. Then, I began to see the problems arriving, as ultimately they did.

As for improving the writing, well, it's obviously a goal of everyone. Just, when the focus shift from the role-play to the text, this game end. As the posts become longer and longer, less people posts. As more and more the post are coordinated and pre-planned, there is less excitement, because the fun of seeing what's next ends. And in the end, peoples see they can't spend so much time for writing this stuff, and stop.

I don't want to start a new Vanguard, I assured you of this. All the things I had in mind for Euro and his son, I was able to put in my Last Days of Vanguard solo, so I have no unfinished business with my characters. FOR ME, the Vanguard Universe had its conclusion.

I don't want to start any new round robin about superheroes, because there is Tabula rasa, which has cool characters. I see Doc is willing to continue it, and I will try to find some time to contribute. Still the story was pretty dead sometime before the random China invasion post.

About an Ultimate Vanguard, it could be fun, but I don't think it will have better luck than all the other round robins here. Still, I would like to see it to see how it is ultimatizable something that was, from the start, an Ultimate MBL.
