Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
Welcome to the 15th ABR Discussion Thread!
Because we used to burn through new ABR threads so quickly, we created the Discussion thread. All banter goes here, and all comics and non-canon kills go in the main thread. (see line below)
Avatar Battle Royale: We All Live in A Yellow Citadel is the current thread. Post artwork here.

Yeah, but if he was about 30 in FFF, he'd be about 40 in the new plot.
/\He's been around a while. He just sort of comments on things occasionally. He hopes to eventually join ABR, I think, with a unique art style.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
Wow, a lot has happened here.
Anyway, I'm against the idea of a new plot so close to FFF, and I definitely don't want to deal with an alternate future.
HOWEVER
I really like the concept of Future Imperfect. Here's my idea:
We retire Fat Fish Fury.
*cue gasps from the audience*
Fat Fish Fury has been a great plotline for us. It's given us two years of entertainment. But it relies too heavily on people that don't continue to actively contribute, and we need to establish our independence. We're at a point in FFF where this is possible: Threeshades is dead, and the good guys have Leroy. I propose we begin wrapping up Fat Fish Fury, and resolving the Dragon Talisman story arc, as the sovice threat grows.
Then, time skip.
Future Imperfect, the direct sequel to Fat Fish Fury, picks up 15 years later, and becomes the new main plot of ABR, with Ins and the sovices as the new Team Evil. Our established characters are in new situations, joined by a cast of new characters, and we continue the story of Avbaroy from there. Who knows? In two more years, we may retire Future Imperfect and start another plot.
Thoughts?

No.
People have too many ideas for FFF, and we can keep moving it. Besides, Future Imperfect is a much darker story. I say just have the two plots running simulteneously and let things take their course. If we find ourself focusing entierly on Future Perfect, FFF will die off on it's own.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
I like your idea Mecha.
Let's finish up this plot before starting another, and that way, we'll all be able to praticipate in the plot and we can all spend more time on it, instead of haveing to worry about yet another plot.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
The problem with that idea is that if Future Imperfect becomes the main plot, massive amounts of new people will come into it, with little or no idea on how it works. They will start large amounts of new, confusing subplots and create half-baked characters, and it will be no better than Fat Fish Fury.
Perhaps we can reconcile the situation by allowing only "experienced" people into Future Imperfect. To practice, they can join Sorcerer Dude Strikes Back or Fat Fish Fury. I know it sounds harsh but I care deeply about this plot and don't want to see it ruined by flat overpowered characters, silly ideas and piles of unrelated, extremely long subplots.

I'd participate in the Future Imperfect plot, but I'm not so sure I agree with shutting people put of the plot. I just don't find that fair or in the spirit of ABR.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
I really don't like the 'alternate future' concept. That's going to make things on the wiki hella confusing. And we can't have a related plot so close to FF without the two influencing each other.
Regarding over-powered characters, we just have to have firmer guidelines on what people can do in plots.
-
Re: Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
I'm not going to say I dislike a plot that hasn't started, but given that pretty much every new plot after FFF has withered I'm not going to give it an estimated long run before it stalls. FFF is the only one that's ever had staying power, despite it's flaws.
As previously mentioned I probably won't be participating in the FI plot, but I might stop by every now and then with something. I'm still sticking around for FFF and anything that shakes the coffin of SDSB.
What can I say? I'm autistic, I don't usually do well with changing things. :smalltongue:

Alternate Future works fine, just make a new Wiki section.

Those ideas would still be relevant. Most, if not all, of the characters from FFF will still be present. Ideas will have to be adapted to fit with the sovice control, but that's the direction that FFF has been headed for some time now. Future Imperfect is just Fat Fish Fury 2.
Now, there are several options: We can end FFF and transfer future plot hooks into its sequel, or we can start a sequel at the same time, and turn it into a confusing alternate future that will probably crash and burn within a month.
FFF has headed for a sovice rule for a while, so why make a separate plot about what we've been building up to for so long? The sovices deserve to be main ABR BBEGs, not lame spin-off villains.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
@Megadoomer: Sorry, but I seem to lack inspiration about Fat Fish Fury, with the new plot and all. I'll try to finish the comic tomorrow.
Now let's concentrate on Future Imperfect. The story begins in the Citadel of Bis Anu, heavily refitted to match the firepower of the UNA. The most important members of the resistance (does anybody have an idea on how we should call it ?) are currently inside.
Since the Citadel is escorted by a small wing of Schizian fighters, I need to know if anyone designed one of these, or if I should create the design.
^If we end Fat Fish Fury, I say we should conclude all subplots so we can start anew. The main ones I see are the invasion of Alphantica, the NSE expedition and the Vendetta arc.

I agree that the major subplots need to close, or at least adapt for the timeskip. The Alphantica invasion leads directly into FI, so we will need to focus on that. The Vendetta arc is almost over, so that shouldn't be a problem if Threeshades cooperates. I'm drawing a blank at "NSE expedition," though. Remind me what that stands for?

New Sovice Empire expedition. In Lyinginbedmon's last comic, when he talked to his daughter, he said that the New Sovice Empire could send an expeditionary retrieval force on Avbaroy to remove the Sovice. The NSE could be here within an hour.

Hmmm....
to do list; make new faerie character, write back story for explanation, help conclude FFF parts, make christmas avy.
I think thats it.
FFF closing; bad idea, new people new a place to get their footing in. Like playing in a sandbox before moving to the construction site, you know?

Since Mechafox is forcing the Issue. Let's put a vote on it.
Proposition F, To begin operations to end the plot known as Fat Fish Fury, permenetally, and institue the new plot, known as Future Imperfect, as the primary plot.

Agreed. SDSB is a rather small-scaled plot that hasn't moved very far forward in time. It will continue to take place before the sovice invasion and will not timeskip. It is the sandbox.
I think that the NSE expedition and the Alphantican invasion will lead directly into the events of Future Imperfect. As such, we don't need to show everything that happens, only the beginning and an overview. Ideally, as the heroes work to establish their goals, we will reach a climax that will serve as an explosive finale for FFF. Then we reach a "Empire Strikes Back" moment, as everything appears to be going wrong for the heroes. Sovices take over and begin enslaving the world. Then, a short group of comics establishes, in a cliff-hanger fashion, what the characters are going to be doing in the timeskip. I have specific plans in mind for a handful of cliffhanger comics featuring Nobody, the Void, and the plotgoblins that should preserve their stories for Future Imperfect.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
Nay, with caveats
I have no objection to it starting, I don't think we should shut down FFF because of it.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale: Discussion Thread XV, Now Darker and Edgier
I think we should make a list of expendable people that quit ABR for a long time, so that we can Kill 'Em All. This will create the right atmosphere for Future Imperfect and provide a sense of danger. And I'm sure a lot of people want to see Squark die. :smallamused:

It's not a shut down. Every film plot has to end and leave place for the sequel.
Call it Fat Fish Fury II: Future Imperfect.

Obviously, I vote yay, but there is a separate solution that's kind of a compromise. We can keep the title Fat Fish Fury, but fold the concepts of Future Imperfect into it, possibly shortening the time skip.
In any case, I think that the story of the Talisman of the Dragon King needs to come to an end before it completely stagnates. The time of the Sovices is at hand. They deserve BBEG status.
