All right, so after being here for almost a year by now, I saw just about every single idea for a RP unfold. That is, until I thought about how people move in the RP's. People fly, walk, run and teleport, but all within the three spacial dimensions. And then I came up with the brilliant idea of "Why not just remove the Z direction? That would make things interesting!" Of course, that would require okay-ish RP'ers at the very least, because this RP will be first person, as are most RP's.
So, because 3-dimensional people have 2-dimensional retina's that see things in 2-d (Up, down, left and right) but then just give out the illusion of seeing something in 3-d (Near and far), flatlanders will see things as lines, with only left, right, near and far. Now, because these lines will, in reality, be infinitely thin and thus invisible to the human eye, we must also remember that flatlanders are infinitely thin in the third dimension as well, and this they cannot see above or below the lines.
Please, people, when posting ideas that contribute to the storyline or stuff of this RP, do NOT have it as "A 3-dimensional person comes and shows them up and down", because that will completely ruin this RP idea.
Anyone want to work on this with me? After all, I've based my new siggy off of 2-dimensional reality!

@Deedoo: If you know me as the kid who enjoys mathematics and is over-obsessed with four-dimensional space, doesn't every classroom have one?

| It sounds like a good idea, but there's not really much you could do with it. Like, "I'm in 2D. Yeah. Uhhh... Yeah..." |

@Deedoo: No, Revan's empire fell when he exiled a hundred and ten soldiers at the same time. I no longer serve him.

| Revan's is a noob, simple as that. His "empire" fell when he exiled me. |

| @l0ldude1: That's why I asked for creative personnel to come and help me come up with a storyline. |

| Mae some lab mistake removed something in space-time, and 3-dimensional objects ceased to exist? |

| Anyway, interesting concept. Something that has never been done before. |

@l0ldude1: Sure. And, the same accident that caused the destruction of the Z axis also allowed some 2-dimensional alien mind-control thing to begin conquest of the earth?

Uhh, we said no 3-dimensional. No Earth. No nothing. Except the people's souls, trapped forever in the Flatland, an endless black 2D world. |

| @Deedoo: Indeed. And, now that you've stopped discussing about someone who left ROBLOX 6 months ago, can you please contribute something to the storyline of this RP? |

@l0ldude1: Can we at least keep the thing about the mind-controlling alien things?

Mind-controlling? There is no mind. Simply a vague existence of 2D things, mindless, floating forever... |

Just made a piratepad with the end thing of ThereIsNoUp. Yes, I was clearly making a joke about flatland.

@l0ldude1: The flatlander mind is two-dimensional, and trapped within it's two-dimensional cage, the flatlander's head. All the no Z-axis means for life is that it would have to make up for the lack of up and down with extra space left, right, forward and backwards.

| Please, the storyline is completely different, it's over a hundred years old so the copyright expired, and it's physics! It's a basic concept of movement that I borrowed, and I gave credit! |
