!DISCLAIMER!
This is not really a new idea, so don't tell me about how this has been done a hundred times already, and how unoriginal I am. I'm doing this for my own fun, and because I really haven't been inspired to do anything all too creative recently.
If you think that any kind of story that involves an online community is stupid, campy, or gay, well then fuck off. That's exactly what this series is going to revolve around, and so go ahead and send your -2s my way, I won't respond, nor do I give a shit about what you think.
This story is totally going to develop how I see fit. I'm casting right now, will continue to cast throughout the story, and will be doing so as I see fit. I will cast authors who I think are better or who I know and like better in better roles. That's because this will be an evolving story (more about that later) and I want the best people in the best roles. So please, if you're not a major player, don't get into the story until later, or end up getting killed early on, don't bitch because it won't do anything for you. In fact, all it will do is probably ensure your character's death/ensure that he/she isn't resurrected later.
Finally, I'm doing this for fun, but also to improve my writing so if you have any constructive criticism it is most welcome.
-------------
Introduction and Premise - The Evolving Story
I'm going to right a massive story involving 2-4 factions (depending on the number of people who volunteer) which are all vying for control of a fantasy inspired land. That means that there will elven wizards, orcish hunters, undead necromancers and all that hubbub working for different kingdoms all kicking the crap out of each other so that their team can control the whole land. People from uber will make up all the notable characters in the war as it rages back and forth.
As I stated up above, this kind of thing (or similar at least) has been done before, with the most notable stories being Razor's Detective story and Mac's Uberia series.
What's different, is that this time, the posting that uber-users engage in during the week will be the basis for how each faction does in the next piece of the tale that I post. Characters will be promoted, demoted, and will be killed depending on how they post.
That is to say, that if Method is cast as a General for a certain kingdom (a major role), and he posts a kickass post, his army might win a significant battle over that of an opposed kingdom. If, the Dwarven Warrior, Schlongy, posts something that I find quite amusing, maybe he'll be promoted to a Knight or perhaps even a Captain after performing especially well in a battle or on a mission and slaying Pedro the Mexican who had just posted another crap post.
Makes sense right?
Now, I'm not saying that I'm going read every single post to find out what's going on, but you can bet that the big influencers of the story will have their posts read. As for lesser characters, if I see a couple of well rated posts, that could be enough to have them perform well in the next chapter.
What I hope to eventually happen with this story is to have one faction left standing after a lot of back and forth, where the authors have been posting the best stuff consistently are the ones left standing.
That's my whole 'evolving' idea.
As I said, suggestions on what you think could make this better are greatly appreciated.
----------
CASTING
Here's the easy part. Just say that you'd like to be part of this story, and eventually (if not right away) I'll get you in. You don't get to choose which kingdom you're a part of, or how high up the food chain you are. I'm the story teller, so that's my prerogative. All you get to say is whether or not you want to play.
In fact, my next post concerning Battle for Uber will be a listing of all the uberers who have signed up and what position and type of character they will be just so that you all know, that you actually are in the story.
If you miss sign ups now, don't worry. You'll be able to join up to a certain point (as chosen by me), however, you'll most likely start in a lower role, as a brand new Ruler appearing out of nowhere really wouldn't make all that much sense.
I hope this works, and I hope that everyone is able to enjoy it as much as I am able to enjoy writing it.

At first, only for the large players who I know more about, will I have their personality based on how they post. However, as things go on and people change ranks and such, then I'll start to have more and more players be based on their attitude and posts here on uber.

I fought a dwarf once in a triple A rated open styles tourney in Dublin. I was fighting super lightweight div at 159lbs so he had to be at least 149. Imagine the little fucker, no lie, 4 foot nothin and weighing at least 149, arms as big around as Dick Cheney's head. Little bastard hit me in the thighs, swear to God, punched my shit in the thigh like 30 times, and then swept my standing leg like I was a dried out Christmas tree. The worst was JD, "Dude, you got worked by a fucking gremlin." Actually I won on points, but still.
Count me out. Don't wanna fight no more.

To answer the question that has come up a few times:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO POST TO BE IN THE STORY.
If you have never posted, you can still be in the story. Posting will only positively/negatively affect what happens to your character. If you don't post for the entire course of the story, your character will probably not have the greatest influence on the outcome, but he/she will still be there.
It should be noted, if your faction is getting it's ass kicked for whatever reason, and you're a non-post non-main character, you might get killed off just because your team is being killed off. It won't be because you didn't post, or because I don't like you.
Posting just affects how your character progresses through the story. No posting means he/she will lead a non-stellar life. That's it.

Wow, the numbers have really been increasing. Maybe I'll be able to have all 4 factions afterall.
For the couple of questions:
Right now I plan on doing the writing myself. I'll probably only put an installment up once or maybe twice a week. Not everyone will be involved in each piece, as I'll want them to be in the 2-4 page on MS word in length, and that really can't cover too much ground. So, don't be surprised to have 3 submissions in a row concerning only 2 of the factions, and therefore only half of the players, and then another three with the other half of the users.
If this thing really gets going, then I might end up asking for help from people who are interested. As of right now, I'm having an absolute blast coming up with the different factions, so I don't see myself running out of steam anytime soon.
Now, as for the "I'm going to pick my friends" thing. Well, at first yes, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to pick the users that I know are good writers, and who I've had some contact with on here. I'll probably only check out the average score on the last couple of posts for lesser players, but if they have good numbers, and end up moving up the ranks, then I'll start to read their posts as their position will be one of greater sway.
I honestly don't know if this is going to work, but I'm going to give it a shot and really just hope to have a good time in doing so.

One thing, when I first read through it it seemed like this is meant to be a collaborative effort. Will you be the only one who progresses the story and be the one who posts the progressing plotline, or will you "recruit" other authors to help contribute?
I was just unclear on that. It's not that I want to write for it (I don't, wouldn't have the time), I'm just curious. But, I am a huge fan of fantasy so if you're looking for ideas, I'd be more than willing to contribute in that fashion, though upon reflection I think I misunderstood.
I hope this works out, sounds cool.

Verily I would like to be involved.
I thought that maybe by using the word "verily" in my reply, your brain might register me as Jesus. And I mean, come on, who wouldn't give Jesus a good part, right?

So then wont you just probably mainly read the posts of people you know and like? If you don't read someone regularly, how would you know whether or not they kick ass?
Surely you're not going to check up on all of these people. I'm guessing you're therefore going to be inclined to prop up people you already know.

Holy shit. That's going to take a lot of effort on your part to read the posts of all your characters.
What if a character doesn't post during the week? Do they stay at the same level? Do they get killed? Have my questions been answered in replies that I'm too lazy to read?
I want to be in the story. I'd like a non-kickass, non-suck role. Have me be an extra in the bar or something.
-------
Question answered above, but I'll say again.
I'm not going to read everyone's posts, just those who I choose to be major players. For minor players, I'll probably just check the ratings of their posts, and maybe take a quick look and that will be my basis for how they perform.

One question. Do you base our standings on what we usually post, or do we have to post what you tell us to? Like let's say I post a photoshop of Bart and it gets good ratings, would that affect my performance in the next chapter?

I also forgot to say, I will never tell you what to post. It's your regular posting that decides the day.

Yes.
You post a picture of bart having sex with a minature poodle. It gets a good rating, and/or I think it's funny and your character will kick some ass in the next chapter.
You post a one line post that says "Peener sex is stupid!" and you'll probably be slain by an elf.

Nope, you don't ever HAVE to post to be in the story. It's just those who post more (and post well) that will have more sway in the story.

I choose the subject matter. It's fantasy (with s twist of course). See above for an example of character type.
Finally, I get to pick what everybody is. So you can say you want to be a dildo-monster named Freddy, but at the end of the day, I'm making the call.
