Battleworld 2.0 was a direct reboot of the RP Battleworld, which was started by fellow TV tropes member Stratofarius, and began in 2015 by Meanken. Like the first one, this was a crossover RP where a deity known only as The Cure has taken lands from across the multiverse and thrown them together on a single world with the purposes of having them do battle with one another. This RP was thus focused on the interactions between these varied and different lands and factions with wildly differing goals and moralities. Although featuring an entirely new cast of lands and factions, this reboot only contains a few pivotal changes to adjust from the first Battleworld, in an attempt to avoid the issues the first RP ran into. The Common Room: Think of this as the main hub of Battleworld, a neutral area where all residents of the Battleworld can meet at any time and travel between the various locations instantly, bypassing that pesky issue of border crossings and such. This is intended to help spur more player interactions. To avoid the obvious issue of a player being able to teleport massive amounts of troops to invade someone else's land in a second, the portals to the Common Room (glowing blue vortexes) are mainly restricted in use to significant named characters. Chunkless Factions: Not every character is really equipped to be leading a faction that controls territory. That does not mean there can't be a place on the Battleworld for them. These are small groups (anywhere from 1-8 people each), who essentially serve as an independent group. They can choose to ally with a faction, hire themselves out to the highest bidder, or just do their own thing; up to them. This enables people who may not necessarily be interested in running an entire piece of land or who have a specific character in mind to do stuff.Due to flagging interest following the conclusion of the Nyarthalotep arc, the game was merged with A Game Of Gods Season 4: Frontiers in October of 2022.The signup thread can be found here, and the RP itself can be found here.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Homura Akemi was this close to getting her happy ending where Walpurgisnacht was defeated and none of her friends die or become a Witch, then The Cure decided to throw her and her city into the BattleWorld.

You Kill It, You Bought It: Killing the leader of another faction gives the character control of that faction's territory, with Shao Khan killing Bowser in a Duel to the Death and Spookums ripping off Immortan Joe's mask, leaving him helpless when his wives show up.

comment
The Masquerade: Averted as far as the Muggles of Mitakihara are concerned with Battleworld, as Minako explicitly spilled the beans about it to the city council. It remains in effect for their city's particular representative of Homura and the whole Magical Girl schtick, though. Downplayed by Sakura Dungeon, as the masquerade it kept in its own world was to avoid people discovering that the dungeon even exists - something that cannot be avoided in Battleworld when "The Sakura Dungeon" is displayed right on the map in the common room.

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In trying to convince the Mitakihara Magical Girls to reveal themselves to the civilian government, Minako Arisato mentions it would not do to launch a coup. This is pretty much what Homura Akemi does via getting Oriko Mikuni to contract and gaining the power of suggestion, first using it on Acting Mayor Kurogane.

 Battleworld 2.0 (Roleplay) / int_d500b978
comment
Adaptational Wimp: Many characters brought to BattleWorld had their powers toned down by The Cure — Homura, for instance, had her Time Stands Still ability nerfed to a limited speed boost. The justification, both Watsonian and Doylist, is that massive power imbalances make for boring situations, both for The Cure and for the players.

God's Hands Are Tied: Subverted. Nyarlathotep assumes this will be true of Philemon, just as in their previous "bets", a fact which the latter banks on in order to surprise the former with an attack that weakens Nyarly until he's easy pickings for the band of heroes that's come to stop him.

Broken Masquerade: Hell's Gate Tokyo's Masquerade regarding the existence of Contractors is deliberately broken by Minako of SEES in a livestream on the Dollars website, in an effort to assuage concerns among Ikebukuro's populace in the wake of Nyarlathotep's hijacking of Mikado's Dollars Admin account. The Syndicate is very unhappy about this turn of events.
