Time-Skip proposal

After intense discussion, Reap, Ness and I think a time skip of three years would do this site quite well.
This may not sound like an appealing option at first, however, we find it to be.

This would happen between the Ophelia conflict and the Harbinger one. it would skip three years. This would whisk away all of unnecessary clean-up time of Empire City. It could also allow some time for Ophelia to reform after she takes the nuke. This could form countless plots which we may discuss in the comments below.
 This could also fit canon, because in infamous 3, conduits are widely hated by the government. it would make sense that after the nuke right above a densely populated city, the government is rather pissed off with conduits.

But, of course, this requires admin approval.
Please, admins, comment your thoughts on this. Reap's already on-board, we just need your word, Thes and Gorma.

allow me to go through the details:
After Ophelia 'splodes, conduits go into hiding
With the oppression of the government on conduits, as the timeskip will go through the events of infamous one and two, towards what we know of three, the spartans would become a large opposing group of conduits. The would open institutions for the exceptionally gifted, with a young-justice type league of the best of their young conduits, the Junior Spartans.
Though things look more modern in the third game, we could also make things more futuristic and high tech.

Noted,
All gangs that have lost their leaders in previous inFAMOUS games would go into hiding and silently do things as they would without their leader. Thus allowing anyone affiliated with gangs or organizations to remain.

Think.
Conduits are outlaws.
What's the worst that could happen?

I think you meant conduits are FOR conduits, not opposing them, Reap.

Well, I like what I can piece together of what you guys are proposing. Hopefully we can get a clearer picture painted by the time we do jump ahead so there aren't as many holes to deal with when we get there. Also, character sheets might need to be redone if three full years have passed in the inFamous universe. Three years is a long time.

Hm.... It has many advantages, true... however, seeing as we have multiple factions such as the Spartans, the Templars, and the ever hated Drowning Doom, do we really need to stick with the games' storylines anymore? just a question. please post answers here, as opposed to in the chat, so that it can be up for the references of other people.

I'd say we do, since, for one, we included the Blast which was a major plot point. All canon factions were a plot point as well, and Kessler currently exists, which means Cole exists. So I'd say that we'd have to follow the game's canon. Although we can tweak it as needed. :>

Kessler exists? Where?

He's been repeatedly referenced and spoken of, at least twice in current threads meaning the past few months, so I'd say so. :I

I'd like to stick to the games storyline as well. But cut out some parts, like when Cole (spoilers) sets off the RFI at the end of infamous 2.

For obvious reasons.

Ima keep a log of character ages heyah
Sena/Alexa: 17, after time skip 20
Haven: 24, AFS, 27
Gabriel: 10, AFS, 13
Ari: 16, AFS 19
Balthazaar: 28, AFS 31
War: 26, AFS 29
Teah: 21, AFS 24
SAKURA INFINITY<3: 15, AFS 18

Character appearance changes

Spoiler:

If I may, I would like to suggest a counter proposal to the Time Skip that would not include the need to make this site Canon. Allow me some time to type it up, and then I'll post here again to post my proposal.

Theseus, most of this sounds good, but a couple of things-

1. I heavily disagree with having Cole rule with an iron fist, even if only for a few months in the past.

2. Why do you not want to follow canon so much?

1. Cole was evil. I was just making that a point.

2. The reason I don't want to follow Canon is that we've already, as a site, gone quite far from the original game, and can't forsee us following the games, especially seeing as the use of the RFI from the second game, seeing as, for Canon, good Cole is Canon, the RFI would kill all current Conduits, and I'm fairly certain nobody wants this.

This matter is being discussed amongst the c-box for details. Further detail shall be opened later.

So, what's the results here?

Result is, I don't think I'll come back to infamous unless this Time Skip is agreed Upon.
The new, fresh time line is all thats really appealing to me now. Otherwise, things are just pretty damn stale.

ok, then. Anyone else have anything to say? because frankly, I'd like to get things going here.

Let's just get this shit goin' already, to be as frank and straight as possible.

Guess I'll just use the normal charrie sheets to repost all my new and improved charries then.

ok, starting now, I suppose the Time Skip will now be in effect
