    Hey everyone, so after the Crossworlds Event  has finished (and after Christmas) I'm planning on releasing a new Event for the group, and yet again I'm not fully set on an idea (this time I have even less of an idea so that works ).I figured that I'd create a poll, including a number of my ideas and see which one wins out, then after Christmas, I'll start it up (ending sometime towards the end of January/start of February)

    Villains: Quite simply the opposite of Heroes, your character will focus on being a Villain of the story he's in, whether this doesn't have to mean pure evil, in fact your character could consider himself good.

    Genres: The Genres Event is simply to have your character represent a specific genre of the game they're from. For instance, a KoTOR Character would represent Si-Fi, a Dragon Age Character could be your typical fantasy character.

    Inversion: This is a, kind of mimicry of the Classes Event but done differently. Basically you flip your class, so that instead of acting in a stereotypical way for the class (say a Mage being a ranged fighter) it would be the opposite. So a Mage, rather than hang back would fight in close combat, and a warrior would do the opposite, and a Rogue might fight in open combat. The difficult thing here would still be making it seem like the class it's based on.

    Ressurection: A bit of a cop out for me but hey it's a good idea. This Event would have you recreating a character that's dead from your universe, and bringing them back into the game.

    Did you vote in the poll, my end decision will be based on that so if you didn't then I recommend it

    Personally I'm a fan of Inversion now that I've thought about it more, it's a more unique feeling Event, with some really cool possibilities. 

    I do notice we have 5 votes now, which is good and I'm kind of interested in why people chose the Event they did.

    Inversion certainly sounds good. Melee Mage...hmm. I hope I´ll have time to participate.

    I like the idea of resurrecting characters from lore into a game

    This is a hard one DB. From my point of view I have now reached my gaming ambitions for 2015. All I need to do is pick up Battlefront and then I don't think there will be any more games I want to buy. So it would all depend on what games I feel like going back to after Christmas and some of those games don't allow for some of the options you have presented. So I am mainly commenting just to bump at present and show my support for your ideas.

    I voted Villains, but Inversion seems pretty cool. I'd actually rather do than now that I think about it...

    Fair enough Phil, I'm in the same boat, as soon as F4 and Battlefront come my way I'm set until 2016, even then I can't think of any games next year that'll be hyping me up too much.

    I do hope you end up getting a build in here Phil, I have to say that yours are some of my favourites around.
