This is a thread for fun, rather than the usual plot discussion thread in which either pre-existing threads are discussed or potential new threads are pitched. I suppose this could have gone on the OoC board but, given the theme, I think it fits in better here.
So, most of us come up with some plot ideas from time to time. Go figure! However, outside of what we post, or what we pitch on this board or via the plot platform, what sorts of plots/ideas have you considered for MU that you simply never went through with, and why did you decide to drop them? Note that this doesn't include threads which were started and then later died, but concepts that never saw the light of day.
I'll lead!
Kart Race
One of the numerous kart races prominent on the home world of the Super Mario Bros. is to be held, but given the recent connection to MU, those responsible for hosting the prestigious event decide to extend the invitation to racers from outside worlds. This was an idea that I discussed (briefly) with Joe, but he pointed out that it would be tricky to pull off interesting race scenarios in text form, and that every RPer would want his or her character to come in 1st place.
Sex Reversal
This was actually part of a side-track plot in my old-ass, retired Green Rose Ultra series. In it, Loki swapped the sexes of the male and female characters involved, and they had to go about reversing the effect while learning to cope with the ups and downs of being the opposite sex. As one might expect, it was played more for gags than as a dramatic piece. I pitched the idea for Fantasmic Dreams' Dream League side, particularly since Multiverse Unlimited was on hiatus at the time. It's still on that queue, but I'd rather not repeat the same concepts both here and there, so out the door that went as a possibility for MU! Plus the problem with MU is deciding exactly which group is effected, since MU characters have varying connections and relationships, where as in Dream League the answer was obvious.
Assault on Zinj Palace
After being freed by Torreus (undercover as Reideem), Kazuaki, Clara, Raphael, and other prisoners of the colosseum assault the Zinj Palace to take out Dullahan's Aethernet. What was to follow would be an epic clash involving Leoire, Dullahan, and numerous unnamed, hapless palace guards. Unfortunately, MU's hiatus struck before this ever happened. Upon return, years had passed, and Raphael's player was quite gone. With hazy memories and missing players, the plot was moved forward, and while the aforementioned events technically took place, in terms of the site's canon, they never got a chance to be played out via an actual thread. Hence, they're referenced, but there's no thread documenting them. What a shame.
