We Are Our Avatars: Bay12 Edition
is Bay12's response to our version of the game. Started by user flameboy99, who soon abandoned the game, succeeded by smurfingtonthethird, who seems to have a thing going with potatoes. The game is played in a Roll To Dodge format. Much randomness can be found.
The first game started in February 2014 and came to an end in May of the same year. A second one started up and ran until January 2015. A third version was started up in June, but was abandoned a month later.
We Are Our Avatars: Bay12 Edition provides examples of:
- Alternate Universe: Brief visits were given to an universe where Brisbane was successfully nuked, the dimension of pain, and the StarCraft universe. This very rapidly expanded.
- Always a Bigger Fish: LSP unleashing - the goat. Shit's gonna get real, yo.
- Author Appeal: Smurfingtonthethird sure likes potatoes. The majority of the plot (if you could call it that) involves mostly crossovers. And cheese. He likes potatoes and cheese so much he there was a poll regarding the punishment of the one person for hates both should they be revealed. He also frequently punishes people by throwing them into subplots, where they are railroaded to live through plots of several anime. Although rarely, of these plots actually have better writing than the main game. Rarely. The Battle for the Artifact, for example, pretty much flopped, because not fighting was better for everyone. What happened to the Cheese Demons, though?
- Mad God: The GM. Although he is supposedly a lot more powerful than a mere god.
- No Fourth Wall: At one point got so out of hand, a temporary 4th wall had to be built. With the Ultraverse sealed off, people proceeded to warp directly into the GM's living room.
- Reality Warper: Players have realized that anything can be done with a good roll. DRUNK SCIENCE!
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: The GM's preferred method of insult.(speaking to a team of gods) You guys are really shit, I know monkeys that could do better than all of you combined.
- Running Gag: Dozens of them, but the main one is potatoes. Potatoes everywhere.
