Many of our threads have continued over numerous parts, which sometimes makes them baffling to newcomers or even intimidating. Without a guidebook, it’s not always easy to know where to begin, and the prospect of reading through hundreds of comments is daunting to say the least. Although a quick reference isn’t a substitute for reading, it can help someone decide if the thread is ens cup of tea.
We’d like to add a summary page to the HG2MB to give MBers a guide to the continuing threads, but we need your help. With all the newcomers around lately, there’s no time like the present, but GAPA schedules are pretty full right now. Therefore, this thread will serve as a place where anyone who wants to help may draft out useful descriptions of the threads they’re involved with. RRRs and RPGs are obvious candidates, but any multi-part thread — Wungs, Hot Topics, the H&H — also has its traditions and expectations.
These should be BRIEF descriptions, not detailed plot summaries. A reasonable paragraph would be ideal, somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-150 words. Think catalogue listing. Course descriptions. How would you answer the question: what’s going on here?
Thanks!

((Thank you for this, GAPAs.))
Emoticons aren’t that bad if you use them in moderation, to show the emotion of your statement, Kiwimuncher-style*.
Acceptable post:
*sips hot choklit* Yum, this is very good. The perfect thing to drink on a cold day.
Unacceptable post (GAPAs, sorry if this causes my post to appear as spam):
I turn into a MAGIC LAZER FAIRY that looks like this: 
and kill the bunnies with my LAZER O DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Bunnies invade and blow up the whole H & H!!!!!!!!!!!
*Sorry, Kiwimucher. You’re the first MBer I thought of who’s mastered the art of emoticon usage. Think of it as a compliment. *ducks pies*
Notice my use of the word “excessive”.
Thanks RainbowStar!
w00t! I have my own style!
Thank you!
Here’s some very short descriptions. Maybe you could build off of these.
Chronicles of Museica: A thread that deals with the politics, adventures, wars, and general events within Museica and the realms beyond. Musers can hold governmental positions, fight in epic battles, or explore the countries of the Muse World.
Ships’ Logs: Beyond Museica: A semi-nonrandom RPW/RPG thread that follows the intrepid explorers of the Musiverse’s uncharted territories. Face hideous sea monsters, cutthroat pie-rates, armies of cheese-beings in the future, and all manner of outlandish types. You can set off on your own ship or join someone else’s crew (recommended).
Somehow I woke up thinking about this. I was thinking about other things too, like giant birds eating people and headphones that let you talk with Mozart. I came up with a few summaries, but I can’t remember what they were, and they were probably hopelessly illogical anyway.
I’d do one for BA:TNG, but that’s best left to Kittymine or I-Man. So I’ll do one for Superheros and Mary Sues.
Superheros and Mary Sues
) is threatening the existence of humankind with his evil machines that turn one into a Mary Sue, a perfected being. The Muser Justice League must deal with treachery, evil siblings, Mary Sues, and even book characters brought into reality, to quash Mr. Joe and restore imperfection to the galaxy.
For ages, the Muser Justice League has recruited Superheros and fought evil. Now, Mr. Joe, (
This is a great idea! I was really confused when I came on here.
I’ll just post a summary of every RPG I’m on… Correct me if I’m wrong somewhere. I haven’t finished reading some of the older threads, so I’ll need help with some (MA, ship’s logs). I don’t wish to offend anyone by posting a second summary for some threads, since I think it helps to have different views.
Superheros and Mary Sues
and his army of Mary Sues, perfect beings. But the base behind the H&H is blown up by :mgreen: and the superheros flee to a hotel where it is rumored that Mr Joe currently resides. After time travel, evil cat sisters, an incident involving laboratory cages and other events of little importance, they find themselves facing perfect characters from books at the hotel’s buffet. After a little time/space traveling and a battle, the heros find themselves in 
s base. They escape and hide out in a mountain base near a small village. Now some of the Heros are confronting elves and the fellowship in Lorien (don’t ask, it’s a long story). The others are trying to build a machine to counter the threat of the sueifyer machine, which has already turned a member of the MJL into a Mary Sue. Another key plot device are the “remotes” of 
, which can transport beings in time and space, resulting in utter confusion (partly why the story jumps from place to place).

The current thread is here
Bunny apocalypse: the next generation
Twelve years after the original apocalypse, most of the resistance members have kids and lead a “normal” life. Then they are kidnapped by HPBs, and their children must rescue them (threads 1-2). Then, everyone returned to the base (several small battles, threads 2-3). There was a council, then a big battle at the base (3-4). The HPBs attack the base again, and succeed in driving the resistance members away. Some retreat to another base, others go to the DOH (dungeon of horror) and free some imprisoned resistance members. The HPBs track down the resistance again and they flee to a new secret base. There they are discussing future plans and training. (Many characters have force-like abilities.) Crucial plot devices are/were the mad human disease (now there is an antidote), and the HPBs plan to travel to the center of the earth (a current dilemma).
Here is the current thread
Muse academy
This RPG plays in Muse Academy, where the students always have adventures. There are 4 houses, named after our GAPAs and they have the same qualities. The current adventure centers on some cough drops sent to KaiYves by his cousin, a scientist, which force people to tell the truth. After decoding the rune-like characters on the accompanying note and accidentally ending up in the sewers, we are now back in the building, waiting for the FBI (to give them the cough drops). But villains are in close pursuit, and one student (Adeia) is still being held captive in the sewers under MA.
Guess where this leads
Ship’s Logs
This RPG is about MBers sailing around Museica in tall ships and exploring it. (See the enlarged version of RTH’s map here ). There are various ships, you can either join or sail away on your own. The Seahawk, which has the largest crew, is currently exploring the flavor continent.
Come sail away here
Muse Academy Lunar
To teach where no school has taught before… This MA is on the moon. Unfortunately, it’s off to a bad start: Robots have invaded and are attacking/holding many students prisoner. A small group of free students are battling the robots, and trying to free the hostages in the history classroom.
Help them fight the robots here (MAL is doesn’t have a thread of it’s own and is still on “other muse academies”, so don’t be surprised at the thread title. Just scroll down.)
I’ll finish this in a reply later-gottago.
(Just a little nitpick, I’m not a “he”.)
Sorry

Romance and Relationships:
The drama continues. Whether you’re in a relationship, lamenting a crush or just giving advice, this thread is filled with more action then a soap opera.
(Sorry, no time to look up the link)
Religion and Religion
If you’re interested in hearing others’ perspectives on religion, or just want to put forth your own ideas, this thread contains fascinating discussions on life, the universe, and everything pertaining to God (or the lack of one).

Monthly Random Thread
No, not the “Hey look, my computer is shiny” kind of random. This thread a place for comments that don’t specifically belong on another thread, as well as comments on things going on in your day-to-day life (e.g. sudden epiphanies, occurrences at school, vacations, etc.) It’s the only thread on the blog that has no predefined topic of discussion. This thread is replaced two or three times a month.
Hot Topics: This is a thread that is reserved for discussions of potentially provocative nature- homosexuality and gay rights, suicide, and politics, among other things. Although it may easily be avoided by sensitive and/or easily hurt people, it is the site of many a lively debate.
Romantic Musical Comedy
This thread is an RPG that has both drama and comedy. There is a local showing of “The West Side Story,” and a lot of “drama” (pardon the pun) to go with it. Edward is the director (teehee, that’s me!). Dates, break-ups, heart-breaking, back-stabbing, and cruel pranks are to be expected.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————-
WE NEED MEMBERS! And I need to remember to post…
Re: Hot Topics: It might be wise to post a warning on that thread, something like, “If you disagree with something crazyquotescollector says, either say nothing, or prepare to get involved in a long argument/discussion”
*runs off to get more sleep*
BE CAREFUL AT THE HOT TOPICS THREAD
((Just another warning!))
(13) I wouldn’t worry too much, CQC. We’ve had Orthodox Jewish MBers in the past. One prolific early poster, Phoenix, was an Orthodox rabbi’s daughter. As for long discussions, they’re exactly what we like to see on Hot Topics, as long as they don’t boil over. They’re much more informative than hit-and-run posts that just say “well, I think” or “you’re wrong” without elaboration.
Oh, I wasn’t referring to my being an Orthodox Jew, I was talking about my tendency to disagree with EVERYONE. And that Rabbi’s daughter: Where does she live? I might know her… Kidding! But I really might…
I don’t know where Phoenix lives now. Her family moved to Canada for a while but returned to the United States last summer. Ê‘yviva would know, but I don’t think she’s been on the blog since last August. Maybe oxlin does?
I never knew Phoenix off-blog at all. I just thought she was great. I wonder where Zyviva went. I wonder where Phoenix went.
I’m thinking, I’m thinking… Nope, I don’t think I know any rabbi who just moved from Canada. Feh.
Yeah, I have had way too many hit-and-run posts. Of course, I stayed to argue, but I could still be pretty offending when I stated my opinion.
Oh. I should do various RRR’s shouldn’t I?
Erm……
Alchemy
For anyone who’s looking for an RRR that hasn’t gotten too far in and is still easily joinable, it’s this one. The story focuses on Nicholas, a boy of 17 years, who has gotten himself into trouble by messing around with the forbidden alchemical arts. When his teacher catches him, he turns his name into the authorities. Now Nicholas is thrust into the world of alchemists, politics, and rivalry. Not to mention the presence of a mysterious document.
Searoc
This RRR is currently in the editing stage, so any help with ideas would be appreciated. The story focuses around 2 boys, Ren and Tam, who both have the ability to control fire. Ren is the more honorable of the 2. Both boys work on a pirate ship against the empire. When Tam betrays the crew to the empire and the dreaded Mordran, the lives of both turn into an action packed adventure!
Alter Ego Thread:
Basically, this is a game of guessing where Musers use a different pseudonym than usual and describe themselves. Then, other Musers try to guess who you are. Although things can get pretty intense, it’s not usually very interesting for new timers. Definitely a better thread for old timers to post on who are familiar with other posters personalities, but it’s always fun to read other’s guesses even if you’re not familiar with other posters.
Ahh, did the TERRAformed RRR die? What about Etheterre? Even Original?
17- I’m pretty sure the Original RRR is very very dead, but Etheterre’s still scraping by and even Terraformed is hanging in there, but POSOC and I are the only ones there anymore. E2MB returned briefly, but he seemed reluctant and then he disappeared again. It’s nice to know he’s not dead, though.
What is Terraformed? SHould I be interested or should I hide away?
Hey can anyone give a summary about wungs? I’m completely confuzed when it comes to them.
Well, the Wungs thread is for protecting, and studying wungs. Currently, we have a catalouge of species of Wungs. We are trying to study Wungese, as well
I am so lazy. I never read the thing that precedes the thread. Then I have no idea what’s going on and annoy everyone by Pointless Posting because I want to post but really…don’t know what’s going on.
Sorry everyone.
Aw, you don’t annoy me! We don’t hate you, bubblebabe! Really! And I think your posting is fine! *huggles*
If you want to join in an RPG or RRR that looks interesting, try joining in on the ones that are in their first or second parts. It’s easier to weave in a character and it won’t take horrendously long to read the first part if there is one. For example, I joined Romantic Musical Comedy in Part Two and it’s going fine. I don’t know what kinds of stories you like but Letters, England, 1874 is brand new and so we would welcome another character.
Could someone please summarize the Partial Scripts thread? I’m a bit confused.
