[GGG4] Quantum Bums

[phredd]

so jackie robinson died in 1972, and his son jackie jr. died in 1971. jackie was pretty fried from diabetes so he probably wasn't fathering any kids in the early 1970s.

i think it would be cool if i was Junior's illegitimate son (since it's too cheesy to be a clone), if the future timeline is upped to 2006, then my character would be in his mid-30s.

maybe part of his hidden agenda is to save his father and grandfather from dying...

Sounds good to me.

So them's the protagonists. We still need some names!

And I'm still not so sure about a nemesis from the future, especially with your Issue and how we envisioned your spotlight episode.

Speaking of which...

Here's how the episodes play out, Screen Presence wise:



Episode 3 is going to turn out interesting. Lots of focus on plot instead of character there. And Timmy's gonna have to carry Episode 5.

[mtiru]

switch my screentime from episode 4 and 5.

so i'll be 1 in ep 4 (since timmy is already at 2), and 2 in ep 5.

mmt

[mtiru]

also, i think we should set the game in the Spring of 1952, the season after the Bums lost the pennant to the NY Giants.

[phredd]

Spring '52 sounds perfect!

Anyone got a name yet?

I'll redo the screen presence per mtiru's change tonight.
