[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game

It doesn't really matter what the case is as long as Another is a higher being that is part of a higher universe, unable to interact with this universe.

Ok seriously, Another sounds like Zanza.

incoming spoilers that aren't that spoilery

Spoiler

Zanza, named Klaus at the time, was once a scientist whose curiosity was so great that he attempted to change the universe. His experiment was a complete success, in that he essentially wiped out the universe's initial existence, taking the Earth and the rest of the Universe with it, and restarted it. Zanza and Meyneth emerged from the endless sea of this new universe as Bionis and Mechonis respectively.

bigger spoilers, continuation of his profile from wiki.

Spoiler

Many years before the start of Xenoblade Chronicles, Zanza began to fear the day when his brethen would leave him, since it would mean his own demise because of not regaining the ether from the deceased denizens of the Bionis. Coupled with his growing loneliness and the fading of awareness of him among the denizens of the Bionis, convinced Zanza to engineer a cycle of destruction and regeneration, in which all life must eventually be destroyed, returning to him to be recreated, in order to avoid his own demise. Zanza possessed the body of the giant Arglas through the Monado. In this body he warred against the Mechonis and was defeated as Bionis, but not before enlisting the services of Dickson, Lorithia, and Alvis as his Trinity of Disciples. Choosing Alvis, however, proved to lead to Zanza's undoing.

The way you worded that makes it seem like we can just have this Universe the way it was this whole time and not a simulation of any kind, while Another is a Higher being from a completely different universe still.

So if that's the way you want it then why can't this universe we have had for this RP just not be a simulation of any kind? Another could still be a higher being from a higher universe, and we won't really have to change anything in the universe our characters are in. Not a simulation, or anything like that. Right?

Sorry guys... sorry... forgot about the forums... been busy on the Minecraft forums RP section. Also since I'm here what I miss?

Nm. We decided that once all arcs have been completed, a second season will be made. Speaking of which, we should work on the China arc.

Ok, after some sleep, I can finally think clearly and say what I was trying to say all along.

If it's an electronic simulation, then the characters aren't actually doing anything important.

Think of is as a game. Minecraft can be considered a simulation. I can mine all the diamonds I want, but in the end, it has little to no impact to the game world or this one.

In the real, biological world, choices have very real, and very damaging consequences, things can not be undone or altered by typing a code into the grand simulation, one person can make a difference in the world, and the characters are actually living, breathing beings, just how the original concept intended.



Now it's just a matter of cleaning up IC.




EDIT:

Now I feel like drawing a map of the dimensions I was talking about.:p

If you did that would be awesome. After all, HM needs it...

Nothing really have to be changed in the RP. I do want to hold on to the idea that this universe is a part of something bigger and Another lives in this bigger thing. That's the only thing I WANT to have, everything else is fine however it is. Another parallel universe is not okay as he is not really considered a higher being, just a different being.

Zaaaaaanzaaaaaaa

anyway I stand by the idea of saying he's a hack in a physical form.
because of this:
1: He can see the code
2: He is "spectating" which if anyone knows about PSO2 mods for item translation, the "hack" is on the outside of gameguard intercepting data and then inputting new translated data.

@Kartix

Ok.

Parallel universes wasn't what I was going for anyways. Everything is good now.

Sorry for the hassle.


I'll probably draw up an interdimensional map for Wonder though, but that's just for his plans.

Yes.. Plans...

Anyways, though, the way I see it, the only portals discovered are the portal to Gensokyo And the space rip left by tricky.
