Setting of WODR

[Nam Reikonaga]

Alright, so we've been discussing a very important topic about the future of this forum and the specifics of this 'reboot'. I want old and new members alike to vote as the answer is very moot in this case. A lot of people say "They are fine if we decide to do it" but that doesn't mean they like it, so to have a clearer answer, I'd like for everyone to vote for what appeals to them.

You can only vote once per person. Meaning, if you have more than one account, you can only vote with one of those accounts. To ensure that there is no foul play, I will require that everyone who votes must post in this thread even if it's only saying a single word. The point is that you voted and are identified. Your vote will not be taken into account unless you have replied to this thread.

Option 1
"Maintain the existence of our previous characters."

For those new members, here's a synopsis of the major events that happened before now. Keep in mind that this is EXTREMELY summarized.

In our previous story, 1000 years after the events of Son Goku and friends, our first saga villain was an Icer/Arcosian (What a surprise!) who got romantically involved with a saiyan woman. He was practically on the verge of changing for good, but the King of Vegeta killed him out of hatred and revenge for slaughtering their people. Regardless, he was the least of their concern. While the King was busy chasing a vendetta in a foreign planet, a namekian -the strongest saga villain yet- took advantage and went to Vegeta, destroying the entire planet. End game, a character opposing said namekian locked himself up with him in the HBTC xP Now we're skipping 500 years into the future. Everything is practically resetting. *The Present*

If you vote for this, then everything you have just read has happened; although after 500 years nobody will probably know it did. These are the things that COULD have happened during the 500 years it took for all the old members to vanish: the Lookout is back along with the HBTC and a new guardian. Entering the HBTC they'd find the remains of Nam and Geurin. Boliko and Rensou finally gather the dragon balls and wish back their forsaken planet. They are either revered on Planet Vegeta as heroes or completely forgotten. Zach takes the role of Guardian of Earth until he mysteriously vanishes and starts a new tradition where the Kami is human. Touketsuki and Serori fade as well, Kold finally thrives with the rule of Chillyn (new character) and Namek is Namek as always.

Option 2
"Reboot to a blank slate starting from scratch"

This implies that we completely erase everything all of the older characters ever did. It's a wipe. We go back to the initial setting that states our current time period takes place right after Son Goku and his friends.

"In our previous story, 1000 years after the events of Son Goku and friends... *The present*"

Option 3
I vote for the one with the most votes

Self-explanatory. There are those who just don't care which is chosen. You are neutral and abstain from voting.

With that said and done, you can all make an informed vote now. If I missed anything, please point it out. Meanwhile, I vote for:

Option 1
"Maintain the existence of our previous characters."

[Deleted]

I would like to keep my character as he is as much as possible. But if it cannot be so then I don't really mind. I guess I'll make my vote the first one on the list and see how things turn out.

[Bazantar]

well, since I'm playing devils advocate...

((like, i mention in the other thread reasons against it, but ultimately I think it will make little difference, unless we're gonna go parading history around a lot more than it was mentioned during the previous WODR.

I just hope Virion is given a fitting arc and demise if it goes through, i had some grand plans there...))

[Deleted]

Well, honestly I don't care which way this goes, but I'd rather things be just a clean slate. I mean, Serori and Souka have their characters from the alternate verse. I think it makes the plot more interesting and I'd much rather this Yuumaru simply be an alternate to the other.

Besides, I really don't see why it's so important to have the other history still there. No offense, but it's just not something necessary, imo.

[seraphim]

I dont mind either one.... soooo i did a lottery type thing and end up drawing the first one sooo the first one.

Option 2. Because history ()

[Mori]

I chose option 1, and here's why:

It gives this universe of WoD history, and makes this reboot a more unique place to roleplay in. Sure, new members haven't taken a part of the past, but so what? I mean no offense towards the new members at all, this is actually in their favor. Seeing the past and the events done, it could inspire their characters to repeat some of the things that happened then.

Also, if we reset, it wouldn't really have any benefits, other than the other things not happening, but none of them really have any far-reaching consequences...

This. I don't think what all happened, at least the important stuff, should be erased completely. Too much time and important stuff happened. No offense to the newer members but I know the members from the past,including me loved what happened in story. Remember the time guys...Memories like "Remember the time Suki invaded the tournament and threatened the entire universe and started gathering money or warriors from each planet." Memories like "Remember when Geurin attacked and destroyed Vegeta" Or even funny ones like "Remember the time that Toshio guy had a speech for every thread ever. " Memories like this should not be gone completely. Theirs a reason their is an Archives for the forum. Because we older members remember the times..

I say that Nam,Geurin. Like Goku,Freiza and all become the Myth. While nobody may remember their exact names, Like nobody remembered Goku's or Uub's, their presence was there. People knew of their once existence. People should remember Earth being raided by an evil tyrant, not one but multiple times. One and Evil Icer, the other an Evil Namekian. People should remember the time Vegeta blew up the second time. People should remember that two legendary saiyans of their time spent the rest of their lives trying to get their planet back.

These events are just so important to be 'thrown into the wind'. Newer people I plead for you to understand the history that this site has gone through. Good or bad, this site has always been rich with history and just a great overall feel for what truly a DBZ is. Let's not forget the roots..Let's not forget OUR roots. The roots that is World of Dragonball:Resurrection.

[dbzgoku9000]

i would like to keep them because all that hard work that went into them

[Deleted]

Okay, I'm going to be a bit blunt here. If it offends people, well, sorry for that but I won't take back what I say.

If you aren't going to rejoin/have no intention of rejoining, your vote holds zero weight imo. Why? It doesn't effect you at all, but it effects those who are on the site. So, I see no reason to let people who won't be a part of the site to get a say in how things get done on it.

Now, if Boli and Serori say they'll do it that's one thing cause A) it's their site and B)it effects them just as much as anyone else. It makes no sense for those no longer a part of the site or not planning to rejoin to get to make demands of those that have to be stuck with it.

If you rejoin, that's a different story though. New members are different as well, but anyone else shouldn't get a say in the site's course.

[Nam Reikonaga]

I'm not making demands, that's why I started a voting thread. Democracy. The members decide whether they want this or not, Toshio and I were just expressing how meaningful this was. Now, if you guys really don't want it to go through, then there is nothing we can do about it.

From this moment on, my vote and Toshio's are nullified.

[Deleted]

Why not just let it go the way it was, there was nothing wrong with letting things start from scratch. Hell, Serori made it work awesomely as well with his character's history. That way he can use the same character, with the same history as they had, but in a new setting. To me that's a lot more interesting and creates so much potential for future RP.

Plus the current epilogue that I can find, is one that would also vastly change Vegeta as well. Mostly in the fact that there will now be lots of vegetation, etc. And that will effect quite a lot regarding the planet's board along with the general feel of the planet. It won't be the normal Vegeta anymore.

[guest virion]

@ Nam, I don't think yours or Toshios or anyone else vote should be nullified, you're valued friends here even if you don't plan to RP. Though i do acknowledge yuumaru's point there too.

Lol, maybe the poll should have more options:
i'm new - reboot
i'm old - reboot
i'm new - timeskip
i'm old - timeskip

That way we'd see exactly what's going on.

Clearly though Nam, there's only one thing for you(and toshio) to do! Officially rejoin WoDR
((you know you want to. you could go a support char like me so training isn't a focus))

[Gray Callahan]

I'm gonna implement the time-skip idea, but it's going to barely change anything. The year will be 2300 Age and there will be some minor references in the updated history in 1800-1850, but that's it

[Fudotatakai]

First off, let me say that option 3 shouldn't even be an option. If you are "neutral and abstain from voting", then don't vote.

Secondly... Just let it die. People like me, who are only really capable of RPing on one site at a time, don't want to have to make the choice of which site to join. It was hard enough dealing with WoDR splitting up, dealing with my character being thrown away. By trying to reboot it, you're basically saying that we went through all that for nothing. If I'd known that we'd get back together, do you think I would have been so upset when this first happened?

To me, this is like saying "never mind, false alarm".
