You're right, it will end. It will end when everyone decides to stop fighting and let Chiyo win so they don't have to suffer anymore. Because they have no guarantee that winning will change anything, when Chiyo still has all her connections, all her resources, and Mommy dearest with her exclusive access and private military to divert any consequences that might befall her and to continue making the lives of all her enemies hell.

This war may be settled in the digital world, but it is driven by real life concerns. And right now nobody currently active who is not a GMPC has any way to compensate or retaliate for this in a way that actually means anything. Like I said, if they don't stage a miracle then the war is over.

Basically, at this point it looks to me like you are further setting up your own characters as the focus of this story, saying 'follow us and do what we say if you want to get your victory. We are your cannon fodder, marching forward to the sound of the drums so you can claim your victory. That's what it looks like to me, and in the end this is a negative incentive, not a positive one. It says 'don't fight me and your suffering will end.' Unless Chiyo is planning to commit mass genocide of course, which I wouldn't put past you at this point.

Still, I don't expect this to make much of a difference, since we've done this song and dance before.

Are you sure you're not assuming again? Reading too much into the GMs attempting to move things along and giving people a reason to care about the events happening around them? Chiyo and Eris' parents are a moot point to consider; both because their RPers don't want to use them and because, as you said, adults are useless in this world. Are we putting Chiyo on a platform? Probably, but then again she's the antagonist at the moment. That's a bit of the point.

As I said, I will attempt to provide options in my next post. Until then, perhaps you should be focusing more on developing Masae considering she's hardly done anything.
