Alrighty finally sat down sorry. First post will just be replying to stuff then second post will be the pplan inbetween Est's return: [quote=@LanaStorm] [i]instantly cancels flux[/i] [/quote] [center] *Me being immediately deleted* *[b]WARNING LOUD[/b]* [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvMCPhMC-WE[/youtube] [/center] Please no destroy me haha [quote=@ERode] Should the current war be put on hold then, Flux? Right now, Matthias is more leaning towards the "quickly finish the war by beating the shit outta people before the lack of aid becomes a problem" method of handling things, but I can understand if you don't want to puppet Est's characters in this case. [/quote] The current war will be placed on hold for the moment. I'm thinking of a scene/round where players have to establish some form of self sustainment for their faction/districts themselves or through collabs. Potential examples: [@The Savant] Asterion's public fruit gardens being expanded, [@LanaStorm] Emily's relationship with Noc Noc burg for infinite chow. (Will explain this micro crisis and reasoning further in next post). [quote=@Yankee] It does leave my character(s) in a bit of a sticky situation (my own fault really), but I certainly don't mind waiting to resolve that, and seeing what other characters get up to in the interim. [/quote] For the next 2-4 weeks if the aid blockade crisis goes ahead that shouldn't be an issue. After that it'll actually be a very good way to sideline Ezra for later while getting Adel back into the game if Esty is still away. (Can explain Adel in PM's. Will explain Ezra and Esty's other chars in second post after this). [quote=@The Savant] Currently, my character and NPCs are in an interesting situation, because I was writing up a storm with Est in a google document. [/quote] I imagine that is very heavily intertwined with Esty's characters directly, in which case out of respect I'm not sure I can help with unfortunately. I am happy to look at what's there and we can try rewrite it in the context of different character interactions though if that's possible and you still want to use that work. Otherwise can always wait until Esty's back and reformat it for that time ^_^. [quote=@The Savant] People were asking for those "nice break scenes" we could possibly put everything on hold and have an imaginary reality sequence or something. So it's not overly serious and can be fun while Est is away. [/quote] [quote=@Qia] I like this idea, that way Est will have an easier time once they return ^^. Nothing to catch up to. It would be like a nice...filler episode haha. [/quote] [quote=@The Savant] Every anime has those random filler episodes that don't make sense or they take way too long like Naruto. 😂 It could be a nice touch and it would help keep everyone interested hopefully along with making it easier for est to return too. [/quote] I was thinking exactly this and going with that 'beach day' idea I proposed not too long ago. I also think everyone deserves a fun piece to commemorate how far this has come. I really mean this when I say everyone has done a phenomenal amount of work toward this. All of it's quality material to read and some pieces are reaching the length of a tenth of a novel, combined together is truly becoming an epic and everyone should be proud of that <3. [quote=@The Savant] I'm excited to see what ideas Flux has up their sleeve as well. Their post got me interested. [/quote] I have A LOT of ideas I could run with, but I'll need some time to make sure I understand everyone's characters and the setting well enough to keep it faithful to it's origins and something that Esty can comfortably come back to. This is something I'll explain further in the second post.
