@fatefan I will definitely see if I can't pick that comic up from somewhere I'm always looking for more inspiration.

If people want to get in direct contact with me personally in order to get the IP for the game, or to volunteer for a staff position (We're always looking for more staff!) You can contact me at Dayshark115(at)Gmail(dot)com. I check my email frequently and will get around to responding as quickly as I can. Though I would prefer people ask questions on this thread as opposed to filling my inbox or private messages with them.

Our game's wiki can be found HERE: http://4tmu.wikia.com Come on by and check things out. I'm updating it as often as I can with new information about the world of our game!
Hello everyone!

So this is more a gauge for interest then anything else, I want to get a feel for how the community feels about the general concept, and my basic plans for this mush as well as answer whatever questions I can.

So as some people may be aware I've been working on a Superhero mush on and off in some capacity since mid 2000. There's been a good few false starts, restarts, and beginning from scratch along the way. However this time I'd really like to do my absolute best to stick with it come hell or high water to see for a fact that this game at the very least see's a closed beta by the end of the year.

The concept to put it simply is: What would happen if the golden age of heroes happened in World War 1 instead of 2?

The world's history is essentially the same as our own real world history up to April 15th 1912 when the RMS Titanic is saved from sinking by the worlds first caped crime-fighter, (currently it's been decided that hero was Superman, but that may change as work progresses on the timeline) following his daring rescue people around the world are inspired by his actions to take up costumes of their own to help protect the people around them.

The sensation spreads like wildfire to every corner of the globe and soon costumed criminals join the fray, wanting their own piece of the action. Governments in fear of the Superman and the costumed heroes begin top secret projects to create a superman of their own in the event he should go rogue, the successes in these projects combined with the actions of the 'minutemen', and the emergence of naturally born super humans known as mutants lead to the start of the Golden Age of Heroes. It was a time of wonderful technological advancement and social progress spurned on by the ever growing population of powered individuals born or created.

Warfare grew more devastating with super powered soldiers leveling entire cities, and sometimes entire nations in their fighting. Every nation had their own 'superman' ready to defend their borders.

Tensions raised as territories changed hands in the wake of battles more devastating then ever before, leading nations to band together to protect themselves eventually splitting between the Central and Allied powers, two massive alliances of nations dedicated to protecting their own. In July of 1914 open war was officially declared between the two mighty powers.

The war spanned the entire globe leading to massive destruction on all fronts as the worlds supermen fought to the death. The war ended in November of 1918 with one final massive devastating battle between the two sides, the second Battle of the Sambre. The Allied powers found themselves a Pyrrhic victory over the central powers leaving France in its entirety a no mans land and a majority of the super soldiers on both sides dead from the battle.

The game takes place several years after the final battle of The Great War in what was once the city of New York, now split into the twin cities of Gotham, (The Rotten Apple) and Metropolis (The City of Tomorrow).

The golden age of heroes has come to an end, and most of the world has been rendered completely uninhabitable from the conflict. Nations have risen and fallen giving way to many of the fictional nations found in DC and Marvel continuity, and a majority of the worlds population has perished either as soldiers, collateral, or from starvation due to completely collapsed infrastructure.

It's a dark and hopeless time for many, with a good deal considering it the end of days, but it proves fertile ground for a new generation of heroes to take up the mantels of the fallen, and bring fourth a new age of heroes to mankind!

Edit: We are looking for staff to help get this project rolling if anyone out there is interested in signing on for the project. Currently it's a two man team, myself and my coder. We've got a second coder who's willing to help if need be but he's more on standby then actively coding for the game.

We're mostly just looking for Theme Staff, Wiki Staff, and Builders to help make things move along a bit faster, we're also not going to turn away help from any coders out there that might want to join in on the fun, assuming they're at least mostly sane.

While the game WILL get finished and launched without those staff if it's needed, (I'm refusing to give up on this project this time around) it would go much more smoothly, and launch faster with more people around to help take a bit of the load off me. We'd also be fine with people who want to be app staff when it launches speaking up, or help staff, but we're still a good ways away from launch with just two of us working on the project.

@kairos Not sure how much a fan I am of that. I mean I guess technically it's not that different from playing William Burnside, but still rubs me the wrong way.

@the-sands I feel the exact same way man, it's really funny to think just how little time there really was without cap. Though to be fair they only really thought up the whole frozen thing to explain away commie smasher cap and how violent he got for seemingly no reason following the war.

@serenity Ah man I know he's probably already apped/accounted for but I would LOVE to play a Steve Rogers who's JUST NOW been unfrozen from the ice. That would be an absolute blast for me to play as someone who loves playing cap.
