Static Year Suggestion for SHRP

Please vote on only one year and add a comment with why you would feel this would be the best year to classify our universe as.

We've always had our year loosely linked to 20XX - originally, when the board was started in 2008, it was actually only supposed to be around the year 2022~2024~ (approximations, of course) but in this sense, we could always choose to have it be a further jump with the year we start with, in that regard, and then all threads regarding alerts, as well as quests, would require set years and etc. so that we can actually tie it into the history -

That would mean that yes, we could theoretically fuck up the timeline! But that's why staff is in control of approving what can and cannot be considered "canon" lore of SHRP's in character universe. The history additions potentially including villain "feats" and hero "feats" that could have happened in the past.

So, let's put it to a vote so we can make some proper character history!

2036

It’s been 14 years since we started, it should be fourteen years in the future *nod*

I can totally agree with this, especially if majority vote is to just do a minor jump in the future again.

2036 Just like my buddy here, fits the stuff and amazing to get a year going! Wow!

I personally enjoy the concept of it being a liquid year without too heavy of context or restraint on the years.

Having it be liquid, though still holding the appearance of the current "modern" world gives a lot of room to lean into different ideas and technology and I feel like we have a good diversity with it!

It also, in my opinion, makes the flow of time between threads easier to manage, which is a big plus in my book!

It's also one less thing to manage that doesn't need management, ya know? I think there are a lot of places we can put our focus as site mods and as roleplayers, but having this be loose is nice! It's kind of like ignoring coin weight in D&D games, it just becomes a bit of a pain to manage, not a huge hindrance, but just something that doesn't really need that management.

With that, though, on a different note, but the same topic in terms of our world, I would love to see the development of a few things in-universe. Perhaps an official agency may be connected to the UN in regards to Meta-powered individuals! Maybe a new city/area to play around in, that way we could also have a city that is, perhaps, a bit more adaptable to quest-based threads! And I am sure there are other things we could manage as well, things that are much more worth the effort!

But again, that is off-topic, but just wanted to add in that quick note along with it! Whatever we do, though, I am in no strong opposition to setting a year, I just have a preference towards liquid, so I won't throw any chairs if non-liquid time is chosen over liquid time!

2050 is far enough ahead to justify some leaps in technology while still maintaining a modern day feel in a superhero world. Having a fixed point makes it easier to connect events between threads and establish a coherent universe.

I think it would be better for the purpose of story telling.
