Mega

A "mega" or "megapost" is a very very large post, often containing an entire story arc within itself. Megas are used to explore certain things at great depth; they are sometimes used for major plot events, other times they are used to explore a side story of the Kupopolis universe in detail. The first post to be called a "megapost" was Quiet Mining Colony, by Celiose, a post detailing Kuat's oppression of workers in an asteroid mining colony and the consequences of Typhon being found there. It has 25,000 words, 52 pages, (in MS Word), and was divided into 32 parts; although nowadays some Iron Writer entries are of comparable size at the time the size and the unleashing of an entire arc-in-a-post earned it the title of "megapost". Megaposts also often use One-shot characters. Megaposts were extremely popular during Kupopolis Neo.

Kupopolis Megaposts

Quiet Mining Colony - Celiose

The first Megapost, Quiet Mining Colony starts out merely as a story on a 'Quiet Mining Colony', following several relatively ordinary miners through their travails with the Kuat Consortium (see List of QMC Characters). Eventually they are pushed too far, and the Seraphim Typhon shows up on the colony. They kick Kuat off the colony and all hell breaks loose as different factions vie for control of an explosive situation. Eventually, the colony is ordered destroyed, but Typhon ends up in control of The Celpo.

Typhon: Seraphim Orisons - Michael

A Celpo Minder steals Typhon and escapes to a planetoid colony. Meanwhile, it is discovered that another planetiod has gone missing and a massive object is heading towards Tasnica, and it probably has some connection with Diamond. Clay Reynolds gathers several seraphim pilots such as Gallus Heylin and Hannibal De'Zamma to combat the object. Celiose Cole and Praxer Riose show up at Diamond headquarters to plan an attack against the object. The object itself is a massive seraphim factory capable of creating multiple Typhons. Although unmanned, it takes the full force of Diamond and the Grand Army's seraphim to completely destory it, as well as a second Typhon discovered inside of it. During this time Varius Rufus discovers the first Typhon, finds the space colony that it is hidden on to be too preverse and unholy for his own moral convictions, and uses the Tyhon to destroy it. As oepration finish up on the Typhon factory, Clay is then sent to combat Varius. In a odd turn of events, both disenchanted men relenquish their massive planet destorying robots to confront eachother man to man. Clay is forced to smash Varius' head in with a rock in the following confrontation. Back in Tasnica, everyone celebrates a job well done. Clay Reynolds however is pushed further into disillusionment.
