I know that most flashbacks are short and can be done in another RP thread. However, what if someone needed a full thread to tell a story of what happened in the past? That is why I am suggesting adding a category for flashbacks. In addition to covering longer bits of backstory, it also has the benefit of occurring anywhere, including areas outside of Earth.
Let me know what you think about this proposal!

That is possibly the bestest idea for a category EVER. The only problem I have is where you could put them in the timeline, although I could just give everyone their own thread tracker ...
But yeah, this is brilliant.

You make a regulation that before a thread can be posted in that section the posters have to agree on a place in the timeline for it?

Actually, remember how our timeline is structured into Seasons in Episodes? Well, before the actual flashback, have a little bit of present day exposition! (That, or have a separate timeline post altogether for the flashbacks, and have where they're set after the description.)

That would work, yeah. I'm thinking of just getting rid of the timeline altogether because it just gets in the way. I mean we know where our threads go don't we?
Anyway, I'm going to post as Arthur then I'm logging in as Suzie to edit the nametags/ usergroups. I'll add the extra category before I do.

We should keep the timeline, though, for any new users that come in and want to read the archived threads in some sort of order.

If you get rid of the timeline I'd suggest just having a general archive thread listing the threads in either alphabetical or posted order so people can find old threads without having to go through the whole section.

I like the timeline, though. It helps keep a concurrent plot.

Yeah, deleting it isn't really a smart idea in retrospect. It just takes a lot of work to keep it up to date, maybe we could just keep the flashbacks at random interludes like an actual series would do? Y'know how Torchwood had the episode near the finale that was one big flashback for everyone?
Also, we need to do one with Kiriha and/or Jerome and William after they've done all the operations and augmentations.

I'm planning on flashbacks with my SHOCKERS, presumably Kiriha's coming up next time he fights Jerome, and Jerome's...probably same topic, Dragon reminiscing.

Oh, that would be great.
I'll let you know when we get there.
