Had another scene at XET last night. This was the Ultimates half of the opening scene, which had been hella hard to pull off schedule-wise, but we did it. Had fun with it, although it was getting late towards the end and so maybe didn't pose as good as I'd like. Ah well, still, RP is RP. Still want to do a little gathering of closing poses for the log so it ends a little better, and some minor editing and such, so should be up soon. Working on the news post.

It was also my big debut as Spidey (might as well just admit it since there's no way I'd be able to keep it secret anyway). I was a little worried apping him, mostly because of the whole 'humorous banter' aspect of him is hard to pull off, but I think I did okay... although granted, I had to think up some things to say in advance of the scene, but I also had a little that was just on the spot reacting to what happened. I also seem to have a bad habit of posing bad double entendres in superhero combat scenes. Then again, the Scuzz one was accidental, the one in this one was purposeful.

But at least now that the big scene is out of the way I can feel more free to play more casual scenes because it's not hanging over my head that I should be ready for the bigger one if an opportunity presents itself. Plus, it looks like an active Brotherhood is actually going to happen now, so I can do more with Scuzz. Yay RP.

Okay, this is my last mention of XET's rebirth in my regular journal, so as not to spam people on my friends list who just don't care. I've created the community xet_talk to do some discussions about the idea... it looks like we're tentatively going forward with the idea of bringing XET back.

Some of you already know about this, as I've been quietly talking to you for a few months now. Others of you will no doubt be surprised. And then, some of you on my friends list won't even have a clue what I'm talking about, or care.

On May 1st, 2005, we're re-opening X-Men: End Times (under the name X-Men: End Times Two, so our acronym can be XETT or XET2). This will be a continuation of the original XET, rather than a relaunch, however, we will be making a dramatic use of the '1 year gap'... a year has gone by since the timeline of any logs that had been posted (and more than that since there was any significant RP), which gives people the chance to put their characters at pretty much any position they'd like... they could have left the team they were with, or gotten rid of some of the baggage a previous player saddled them with, or whatnot (there's also other mechanisms for smoothing over problems, listed below).

However, in that past year there've been a few more major events, that the staff has set in place, including options that open up more of the wider MU rather than just the X-Universe. (That's part of the reason it's called XET 2 - It's like a sequel, and in sequels you always try to go bigger.) Among the major events are...

For more detailed information on some of these events and policies, as well as the new app rules and our official reopening day, visit http://www.unreachablestar.net/xet/xet.htm or log on to the MUX (the address hasn't changed). Now get your advertising caps on people, we'll need a lot of help in order to pull this off.

Well, it's over.

Never again.
