TFF: The End of the World-(Organizer)

Okay, this is coming straight from the games section.
Ok, I was surfing tropes a little while ago, and stumbled across 'World Refugees'.
It's an interesting concept, not quite sure who came up with it, but...
World Refugees said:
World Refugees, part 1: The Earth has been taken over by Heartless, our homes, our families, everything except for the few meanger things we managed to scrounge up are all gone. Those of us who have survived have landed on foreign worlds that look scarily familiar and weÆve found ourselves trapped in a reality that isnÆt ours. How would you deal with this situation? Would you give up and die? Would you take up whatever weapon you could find, search for survivors and try to live? Would your heart be able to withstand everything? You wonÆt know until you try.
And Part 2
Part two: This time around, it's a little different. Things have changed since Sora defeated the darkness for the first time. Those who wished, were able to return home to Earth and take back their old lives. Those who wished to stay, have been on the same world since then, living out that time in whatever way they wanted, hopefully happy. Your happiness depends, or depended, on your ability to adjust and take in the world around you- the question is, how did you do it? And, can you survive the coming Darkness?
Supposedly, it was based around the idea of a zombie apocalypse. I haven't found actual content yet, but it's definitely an interesting concept.

Oh, and there were a few rules. You had to write yourself, as you were, with no special powers and no combat skills (unless you could justify them), and no one was allowed to have Keyblades.

Now, this was originaly made to be an RP, but hey! We have threads for zombie attacks. We have threads for videogames. We have people that will, hopefully, take the concept seriously.

Now, I know that there's already a 'How would you handle it' thread. Trust me, I've posted there. But I find my self wondering... how would you handle this modified SI?

Another couple of interesting things about World Refugees. It ENDED! That was something I know I can appreciate. Do you know how hard it is to end a story and give it closure? Since I started working with comic club (22 pages to convey a contained original story. Harder than it sounds) I can.
Also, the only dues ex machina these people had, if I'm reading things right, is laptops and LJ. Seriously, that's how the 'story' was told. With LJ entries that somehow got to other survivors. If that isn't an interesting mechanic, I don't know what is.

Edit: check it out yourself World Refugees

Double Edit: What I'm trying to ask is if there's anyone here that's interested in replicating this? Only instead of LJ, using TFF?

Seriously though, I've read a little bit of this and it's scary funny. Scary, but amusing. This thing would take a lot of coordination and planning in advance (not to mention figuring out how the hell my clock corresponds to the TFF one), but it would be an interesting group project!

Triple Edit: Now that I think about it, this should probably be on the RP section...
And before you ask, I'm quoting myself.
Alright then, is there anyone here who wants to do this thing? It'll take time to organize, as well as some VERY dedicated people even keep running.

This isn't really a 'happy KH marysue' kind of deal. No matter what, Earth as we know it is going bye bye. How long will we have? How can you survive the end of this world, let alone some of the other worlds out there?

Also, for how this is going to be done, not to dictate policy or anything, but we're going to need to adhere to some rules in order to keep this thing going. If anyone's interested, post here. feel free to ask questions, especialy seeing as answering them should help rig this thing together.

Maybe I should try to explain what this is...
OK, at the start of this, heartless appear on Earth. Our earth. REAL Earth as in this is where I type on my laptop. The run around for a few days, and then they get their mitts on the heart of the world. Meanwhile, TFF goes on. Then the world ends. And yet TFF goes on. Despite the end of the world, you and your laptop manage to escape through the void to land in another world. Hey, if Jiminy can pull it off, why not us?

And so, a thread is established to find out where the hell everyone is/how we're going to handle all this Disney shit without going nuts. No, we don't know how the internet still works, or why your battery for you computer isn't dead. Or why you'll get internet, but not cell reception. But hey, any survivors who made it to this world? Wanna get together and try for some safety in numbers?

That's right. this is an rp thread where you're supposed to treat it like a discussion thread. Once we really get going, individual worlds might start up their own rp threads, or for high paced stuff, go to IM.

I'll post more tomorrow g2g.

You picked the wrong time to post this, Shaderic. I'm in the midst of essay writing, and the other RPG will go on as soon as NGD gets off his ass/other people give me a lead-in.

It seems like fun, but given the TFF patented ability to not give a damn... :huh.:

Sorry. Next time, eh?

Eh, whatever.
Maybe it'll catch on in a few months. This would have been hard to set up anyway. Who knows, maybe in a week or two it'll pick up.

It seems kinda interesting to me. Imagine it, people trying to be awesome and failing, this has alot of crack potential.

But, if you think about it, it could be the single most fucked up thing ever.

Here you are, your life in shambles, alone with only the internet to guide you. You haave only the power that you make yourself in this fucked up Disney Parody. So, who's to say you have to play for others? You could do anything, these people don't know you, you don't owe them anything, you could sell them out to the Heartless, you could swipe the control of the Heartless out from under from their leaders fat fucking throats and burn the world.

You can be this worlds God, it'll just take a little while is all, and these people are standing in the way of you having enough time.

Well, then... you could do that :huh:
My plan involved more stuff along the lines of form groups and get gummi-ships to pull tff people out of hot-zones. Maybe bug Merlin for magic. Train with a sword. this rp would proceed in semi-Real-Time to avoid confusion/keep things straight.

Either that, or collect gummi's to build gummi-mecha. They only use them for ships, you'd think they could refine them for ground based comabt. :p

Alright! due to boredom/attempt for attention I'll start compiling a world list now. Just post any world you like! You might not get it, but anything disney is automatic. This includes Gargoyles, Ducktales, and Darkwing Duck so far. What do you guys think about a TWEWY world? we'd have to work out a timeline, but it could be interesting!

TWEWY world

YOU ZETTA SONOVA DIGIT, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF DISCUSSING SUCH WITHOUT ME!?!

In other news, you have my attention now. B)
Hey, it's not quite Disney, but Nomura had a hand in it.
As I said, I have no idea where we could place our interaction in it. I mean, the Shibuya Underground is hard enough to get into in the first place. You have to be a Player, Noise, Reaper, or some other ranking of 'Celestial', or whatever, I haven't got all the reports yet, being in order to get in. So, I don't know how we would deal with it. I'm always open for ideas.

Let's see a list now...
APPROVED
Shibuya (TWEWY)
New York City (Gargoyles)
Whatever world with Ducks, possibly outside of Disney castle? (Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck)

Under Consideration
Sandman (I'm not really familiar with this one)
Still open for worlds and ideas! Ideas include challenges for TFF, how our being there mucks with stuff, and weird ideas, Like looking for where Maleficent has stashed her REAL heart.

For having someone in a particularly tight spot, the Black Cauldronverse, and I know I'd be freaking out if I came across the world caledbolg originated from. There's also endor from that ewoks movie that I think it was disney who did it. Which is also a problem/deadly world considering the ewoks were ready to eat humans. And we couldalso have a TFFer or two going insane in Pooh's book.

EH?
Some one else posted here?! GREAT!
And on Black Cauldron-land, I haven't seen that movie for years. I can't remember what it's about, but judging by the title, it's kinda dark.
And you're spot on with the scenarios! Some people'll luck out and end up in traverse town, or twilight even. But most people will be cast in the big weird universe, where there's a lot of things to kill you or drive you nuts. Like Hollow Bastion, Wonderland, or, dare i include it, Highschool Musical. Also, if it's been so much as poked by disney with a stick, you probably get it in here. Did you know Toon-disney had Digimon Tamers for a while? :p
As for Ewoks... Huh?
I'm not familiar with that one.

I'd RP if the thing gets off. PM me if it does, k? I'm tired of putting time into things that die off.

Edit: Actually, fuck it, consider me in. My aims on my profile page, IM me if you need any help setting this thing up.

Here, and here are summaries for the ewok movie, though I'm not so sure disney did it anymore.

One question, Those of us that have played Kindom hearts would we know what's invading us or would we be treating it like it's entirely new?

World Suggestions: Balto, and Toy Story, who says you'll even be human anymore where ever you end up?

typer weitjh opaws HARDS!

Well, initially no one would have clue. It would start with reports of missing persons go up. Then reports of of strange black creatures in tabloids. Then there would be an 'official' picture captured of one. Like this. Things get worse until a TFFer actually sees one and goes 'WOAH!'. Then he posts his statement. A short time later is the 'revelation'. 'Dear lord! We're dealing with HEARTLESS!'. While it may be dismissed at first, Heartless can get just about anywhere, so everyone will catch on pretty quick that we're not crazy. A little bit later, say a day or two, the world ends. Remember destiny islands? Starts with a storm, getting worse and worse until there's not too much left. And then nothing. TFFers are cast across the multiverse. Now, as for dealing with 'Alternate Earths'... well, the plan was to treat them like paralell universes. You might even meet yourself. Good luck explaining yourself to the government if they catch you, though.

Ah, well more thoughts on the initial invasion, cars probably wouldn't be too safe given that there's room for shadows to pop up, heck there could even be an increase of car crashes with no one at the wheel of a car that suddenly went out of control. It proves problematic for those of us attempting to get to quickly family that live ten miles or more away.

Well now, hadn't considered that. As many things that happen though, I think we can declare a vehicle that's reached a certain speed and size impossible for heartless to get into. That's not to say they can't form on the road, or in the car in advance, but if you're goin fast enough they shouldn't be able to get in. That would be a mostly 'use your own discretion' scenario though.

As for 'Tranform' environs, (Halloween town, atlantica, Toy Story) ... use your own discretion, please. Just make it semi-logical. Toy Story-wise, you can be a GI-Joe but not a 16 inch Cloud Strife with buster sword figurine. You might be a toy-car, but you're not one of those 'toddle jeeps'. Get it?

As for typing without finger and thumbs... Once again, discretion. You want to type funny, that's fine. But don't beat the dead jokes OK?

As for worlds where animals and people exist... We'll handle that on a case by case basis. The Rescuers? Humans. Balto... I don't know. Pull out your 20 sided dice, and roll. 15 or better and you stay human. Then comes the will save...

Can you tell what I spent my day doing? :p

If you have all the disney worlds shouldn't you have all the Square Enix world? I can think of a few cool scenarios with Chrono Cross and Trigger....

:eek:

*thinks about a Heartless Lavos*

Well... the problem with that is this...
Disney movies are compressed into an hour or two, and have simple plots. Square-enix games take a lot longer than that to play through, are more complex, and then there's the problem of when to consider, as well as considering whether or not it's feasible. You can't go to basicaly any FF, not that a lot of people would, because during the events of the 'game', you 'encounter' their characters. Then there's the timeline messes...
TWEWY is good because it has a VERY straight forward timeline. You can track events to the day. Everything else... well, if you really want to, we might be able to work it out.

There's also the fact that a lot of people here were probably force fed disney movies at one point in their childhood.

Still... if you're in Chrono Trigger, we're going to need to make it so you can only access TFF in whatever equates to the 'modern' world. Because timetravel makes everything weirder.

Then we get Chrono Cross dimension hopping, and then even weirder shit with Radical Dreamers maybe being an alternate timeline in a universe setting that doesn't allow for alternate timelines... :wacko:

Been thinking about this thread off and on, and had a thought. What might the qualifiers for learning magic be?

Another thought is that some disney worlds aren't all that different from our outside of the specific areas that a story takes place in I.E. Lilo and Stitch, Kim Possible, etc. If a person were to land or end up at the outskirts of that area they may think they're still on earth though their bank account is gone and they've never heard of this town before etc.

Anyway it was just a thought. And how broad a range of the Disney worlds was wanted anyway?

OK, nice to see some activity. Too bad I missed it by a couple of days.

Learning magic.
Yeah, you'd have to learn from a pre-existing master, Yen-sid, Merlin, the Cheshire Cat, in the KH-verse, and even then, it would probably take a while. Anyone powerful and magicaly inclined is a possibility for learning from. But, there would probably be quite a few limits. Mostly, stuff to do with 'alignments' or spell levels.

EX) Learn a fire spell? Cool! You can't learn an ice spell. Lightning, maybe, but not anything else. Even then, you'll never be as good with lightning as you are with fire. That's kind of an exageratted example, but you get it, right? Also, cool you got the lv1 fire spell in a week. It'll take at least two or three to get to lv2. Months for 3. There are ways to cheat around this, but this is an RP. RP to 'em.

Now then, earth-type worlds. Treat them like AU's. You may or may not exist, and don't expect to able to access your bank account if you are there. Err... I think I said that right. Feel free to visit yourself though, if you are there, but I wouldn't recomend touching, or you might... well I don't know, implode or something. I suggest avoiding that scenario.

As for range? If disney was at any point involved in something, it's automaticaly accepted. Other worlds are open for sugestion though, like Shibuya (TWEWY), or Gaurdia (Chrono Trigger).

Other survivors (friends, family, idiots, politicians, non-KH multi-world knowing people) are pretty much a case by case thing. This is for an RP. Roleplay your way around it.
