Hey all. I run two RPs for DC and Marvel. Both focus on the next generation of heroes. In other words, kids of current heroes.

DC is here - http://www.scribbld.net/community/dc_nextgen/
Marvel is here - http://www.scribbld.net/community/marvel_nextgen/

Both games are looking for players. Original characters and canon characters, adults and kids, are welcome in both.

Thanks.
Stacy

( A Very Mutant Christmas, 2/4 )

11:52 AM 12/9/09 · So let me get this straight. The loophole in 'Brand New Day' is that if everyone learns the truth about how things were prior to its inception then things will go back the way they were? Those that have since learned Spidey is Peter Parker remembered knowing it before and can't figure why they forgot to begin with?

• What about other stuff?


• Will MJ & Spidey become married again by choice or by the eventual dissolution of what Mephisto did? Spidey was using organic webbing and had retractable stingers in his forearms...will those come back?


• Spidey was up to lift/pressing 25 tons and then went back to just 10...will he get his boosted strength back?


• What will happen to Aunt May?


• Will the child that Mephisto try to prevent being born still be a part of MJ & Spidey's future or has that ship been sunk?

Etc. Etc. Etc.

By the by, did anyone else find it a bit loopy in a recent Amazing Spider·Man that Deadpool mentioned the whole Green Lantern: Blackest Night thing?

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
