Vs Community Expert Fount

Scooby Doo

Well-known member
Have you ever been stumped on a versus thread due to a lack of knowledge on one or more figures in the setting so it leaves you like this?

Well fret not, for the fount of knowledge SCOOBY is here by established!

  • Sources
  • Collected
  • Overtly
  • Obsequiously
  • Before
  • You
If you are an expert on the lore of a particular fictional setting, one who has spent countless hours knowing the ins and outs of a settings events and the context involved then please consider volunteering yourself to a roster of like minded experts.


Responsibilities: Primarily your goal is to impart information of a setting that you deem yourselves an expert as accurately as possible. If you volunteer to join the roster then you may on this thread be asked a Question (By requestors aka those with little knowledge of a setting) about a setting you deem yourself an expert on and would answer upon request when you are able.



Rules:
1. Sources are important! If a member wants a feat you can post a quote or a gif but it is mandatory to say where it came from, the minimum requirement would be listing it generally in a way that it can be found if the requestor wanted to look it up themselves (Ex: *Gif of Metal Gear Raiden stopping a Submarine* <List which game and what level in your source> or *Warhammer40k Quote* <List Book Title & Page if Possible> or *Comic Panel of Vader killing a Kaiju* <List Comic Issue>)

2.Context is important, if someone asks for a feat it is HIGHLY preferred that you do add context to the end of the source, this is because we don't want to be biased even if it is our favorite setting we want to be objective.

Ex:
*Destiny Guardians can catch bullets quote* Context: "This feat is done by a named character, this feat is not very common in the series but because of how powers work in the setting it is reasonably fair to use to scale others"

Some things I want you to consider when you add context to a source.
  1. Was this a named character or unnamed "Fodder"? (Ex: Master Yoda or Random Padawan?)
  2. Was this character Amped? Or Weakened? (Ex: Character got better equipment or Grew stronger over time Or were they previously injured/exhausted)
  3. Was there some unmentioned assistance/support that made the feat possible when it other wise normally wouldn't be? (Ex: MCU Thor busted Sokovia with help from Ironman and the Vibranium Spire)
  4. How consistent is this feat, could it be an outlier? does it narratively fit the setting if you take it face value or will it break the setting?
  5. Is scaling really applicable? (Sometimes scaling doesn't work because of too many contradiction or missing context, for example Spiderman has beaten Herald comic book characters more than once and on the other hand has lost to members of his rogue gallery more than once. Don't be a silly goose and say that Sandman can bust stars)


3. BE OBJECTIVE. Everything has some flaw or vulnerability so I welcome people to ask for vulnerabilities or weaknesses of certain factions or characters.

Ex:
Requestor: "Hey what's a weakness of a Destiny Guardian?" Expert: "Powerful enough people or equipment can absorb their powers like how certain Hive Gods absorbed their light or when the Cabal invented Light Suppression tech through the Traveler's Cage , they have few counter measures to powerful explosions with large radiuses which can kill them and their Ghosts like what happened with the Awoken Airstrike, their speed is inconsistent therefore fast enough projectiles or characters should be able to overwhelm them since you know guns are still a valid weapon in crucible.


4. Don't advertise Headcanon or Fanon as fact. If something in a setting is unclear but have lots of people believe in a popular theory do not say it as if it is set in stone instead clarify that there is no factual answer only theories and its okay to post your headcanon on what you think happened just make sure to let the requestor know it is theory not fact.
