Re: Season 3 RP?

Well, sometimes Zurg did display signs of being "Dangerously Genre Savvy"... and then he went and blew it in the next episode. I would put that down to being a few cruisers short of a fleet, because, honestly, I can't figure out any other explanation for it. The man is smart.

That being said, I've always thought that Evilyear was a bit smarter. He's cold and calculating, even in "Sunquakes".

Evil League, hmm. I don't profess to be a BLoSC villains expert here, but I do think that idea has potential... (Except that Gravitina would have nothing to do with Evilyear after his abandoning her.)

Well, we've all been quite busy. And it hasn't even been decided who's going to take part in the RP, let alone how we're going to even start it.

More than that, what if he time-traveled back through time and made it so that Zurg and the members of Team Lightyear were never born. Now, obviously, that would mean that Evilyear would never have come into this universe - at least, not the way that he originally did, and he's smart enough to know that. So while he's figuring out time-travel, he's also figuring out how to create another rip through the time/space continuum to allow him back into this universe.

I don't think this works precisely because Evilyear is from an alternate universe. To me, it's more likely for him to try to subdue this galaxy or (since he's failed so far in that) try to return to his galaxy since he was in control there.

Also...

Exactly this. If he got rid of them all--especially Buzz--he'd probably risk unmaking himself. I'm pretty sure that, given how most people in the alternate universe had the same roles and positions, they are intrinsically linked to each other. And maybe that's why Evilyear can't die--because Buzz is still alive. He'd have probably realised this by now, or something, so I really don't see him risking something that would inevitably kill him too.

Not sure how that would work either. How would their memories/etc. be rewritten like that? And how would it seem like they've been living in a place like that? If you're going for "technologically limited" that would mean no XR. And no contact with aliens--when Buzz, Mira and Booster are all members of different species.

Generally, the time-travel idea could possibly work if Evilyear went abut things differently. Not necessarily trying to kill them, but twist and change around enough things to try to give himself ultimate control. Like, make it that Boster and Mira never left their home-planets or became Space Rangers. Buzz never having heard of Zurg. Hell, Zurg never having become an Evil Emperor. I just find them being "killed" and then "in limbo", or "trapped in another dimension" kind of far-fetched.

But we could still try to work on this idea. Maybe, if Old Buzz ever came back, Evilyear could steal his watch and that's how he'd get the idea? Him being from an alternate universe, maybe he's something Old!Buzz never came across in the past and thus didn't account for? I don't know. We could work this out some more later.

For now, what are we sure of for this RP?

Count me in! I'll be happy RPing pretty much anyone.

Oh, and Steel, it appears that the link between the original characters and their alternate universe versions isn't strong enough to kill one of them if the other dies-think of Mira's father. He died in the alternate universe, but not in the original one.

by **Steel** Thu Jun 28, 2012 3:15 am

True, that. I almost forgot about Mira's father. Thanks for pointing it out. c:

Still, I don't see Evilyear pulling any moves that can potentially risk his life and well-being. He's far too sneaky and conniving for that. He would want to plan out every last detail before he executed any plan.

The only reason his plans failed was because of Buzz. So he'd probably focus on neutralising him in a way the others wouldn't be alerted to. Perhaps he could try to take his place instead of try to kill him?
