And the Story Goes On

[/b]

Now that we've rolled well into the new year we as a forum have progressed rather nicely and everyday we have something to look forward to when we log on. As always please remember that none of this is possible without any of you and you each have to take pride in all of your contributions to this forum. So pat yourselves on the back and have confidence in the things you have done for our community!

On that topic we would like to place some spotlight on our member Timber Wolf (or as you might recognize her in the cbox: Brin) for showing her continued support and enthusiasm for our community. Most notably she has continued to refer and invite new members to our community and for that we give her our many thanks. We'd love to send over a We are Legion thank you basket but that might be weird (and expensive XD). So Brin please take our little words and know that it really means a lot to us.

In regards to new members we would like to welcome a few new players to our community. This month we have gained a Lightning Lad, Colossal Boy and Saturn Queen and we're all really excited to see them galavant about. So if you haven't already make sure to say "Hi" to our new members and make them feel welcome. Remember we want them to stay with us forever for as long as they can .

While we are excited about our new members we're all trying to figure out just why the heck no one wants to be a bad guy. Now the obvious answer is that being a Legionnaire is way cooler so in an attempt to trap promote new members to our site and to gain a more significant villain base we are instilling a new rule. We Are Legion has decided to lift our No Original haracters rule, however with a single limitation. Your Original Character must be a bad guy (and intend to stay that way) and their powerset is limited by a few set of guidelines. Please be sure to take a look at our “Make Your Own Original Character” write up.

On a side note, thank you Brainy and Shadow Stick for your help in compiling the information for the “Accepted Aliens” list. It was greatly appreciated! I’m currently sorting through your submissions now and will have that supplement up within the week!

Another matter I’d like to bring up is the recent harassment experienced by the members of this board. Recently we’ve had someone come into our C-box, ask ridiculous questions that SHOULD have been clear signs of trolling and finally leave, but not without calling all of us “idiots”. Now as your administrator, I apologize for being subjected to that kind of harassment and hope that those directly affected did not take the guest’s words to heart. As I always like to say, the internet has created a new kind of breed of individuals and unfortunately they are more despicable and erm- crazier than those in real life. So seriously, don’t take any lurker’s opinions seriously and as your administrator I will try to be a better moderator in such events.

Finally it has also been brought to my attention that there is some ambiguity in understanding where and how exactly We Are Legion exists as per the DC continuity. To put it simply, we are a reboot, because you know if there’s anything the Legion is known for, it is for all of it’s reboots. Some guests seem to have some confusion as to images and characters and consider it to be out of character or stray away from the authenticity of the Legion Universe but if there is one thing that everyone needs to understand (and you would if you have flipped through the FAQ) it is that We are Legion is intended to exist as an amalgamation of all of the Legion Universes.

It sounds confusing and makes you wonder why that would ever be the approach, but an amalgamated universe and reboot allows writers, new or familiar with the Legion of Super-Heroes to maximize on their creativity. It’s also a way to deal with the small - almost nonexistent community that the Legion of Super-Heroes possesses. We Are Legion does not want to exist as a board that is tyrannical about knowing everything about the Legion of Super-Heroes, we want to be the community that introduces (or reintroduces) everyone to the universe. Please don’t think that I have even read through every Legion of Super-Heroes comic, in fact the ones I am most familiar with are the issues between the 60’s and 80’s! (I’m not even that old... haha ha~)

So don’t feel inadequate because you don’t know anything about the Legion Universe, if you have an open mind there are so many resources to learn from! And please understand that we are an amalgamation of all Legion universes... it’s our way of saying: everything goes.

I will close this update off with a outlook of the future:

The Saturn Queen Rises

Luthor’s Revenge

It Came from Outer Space!

Long Live the Legion!
