[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

[Lugubrious]

Have I heralded an age of silence?

I don't feel like shutting out my feelings about the current situation so I'm just gonna say it: I think the RP's getting closer and closer to the point where it's most likely to die out. Think about it; finals or not, it's been 10 days since the last IC post and nearly everyone is swept up in some huge collab we all know is going to be hell to write.

[Kho]

So, to you Brazilians, what just happened? The media is going crazy here.

[BBeast]

@Frettzo, Actually, I think we've got several small collabs going at the moment, rather than one big one. I'm in two at the moment.

But perhaps we collab too much. While it's fine for those involved, those who aren't see nothing but silence (possibly for quite a long time if we get one paragraph/line of dialogue per player per day).
@Rtron@Muttonhawk@Vec@Kangutso, what if, when we have the big Avatar battle, we post it live rather than in one big collab? It means it gets split up into lots of little posts, possibly very short posts, but it also keeps the action to the thread so everyone can see and feel like stuff is happening.

@BBeast

Yeah, alright. Let's just not keep ourselves hanging if someone hasn't replied for a few days, 'kay?

pop-a-squat and wait for the day of updates - it will be upon us soon.

[Kho]

Three more days and I'll be done with exams. Then I'll need to read over the few (two?) IC pages that have popped up over the last month. Then you can expect a post from me
Anyone who has ideas and wants to involve Vowzra, hit me up with a PM

@Kho
The president got impeached, which is understandable since she was irresponsible with the economy, but it was done in such a shady way and by even shadier people, including her vice-president. And you know, a vice-president working to get the president out is messy and bizarre.

So, vice-turned-fulltime president gets the chair... and brings in the opposition, who lost the last election.
Then he picks his ministers and the talks of "what they are going to do" start...
>Cutting down public healthcare (With the Health department now under a congressman who had his campaign paid by the largest private healthcare companies)
>Public Universities with fees
>Cutting down pension plans and setting up a longer time until retirement
>You no longer need to have an "environmental license" to build a large-scale construction (only a year after we had a freaking large environmental disaster due to the company not following the environmental laws of the state
>Almost got a creationist in the Department of Science
>Then cut down the budget of the D. of Science by fusing it with telecommunications
>Ended the D. of Culture and Media and the D. of Human Rights
>The D. of Agriculture is now under a dude who hates Native Americans, National Parks and anti-deforestation laws, yet loves the possibility of the flexibilization of the law that defines what is considered "slave labour"
>No, seriously, see the quotes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blairo_Maggi
>The state-owned channel is now broadcasting religious cults
>The D. of Justice is now under a guy who cracked down riots violently in his home-state
>Who believes that not all rights can be absolute
>Who justified the fact he was so light on his state's governor (previously part of the opposition, now part of the gov body) scandals with "They are not corrupt, the (ex)president is".
>He will no longer give autonomy to the public prosecutor or the federal police, like the last, impeached, the government did. That was, by the way, the only reason why the large anti-corruption investigation called "lava jato" started.
>Lava Jato is what weighted the president down since it jailed some key members of her party
>Yet, fun fact, the current President and his cabinet have even more tangles with Lava Jato's discovered scandal. With 7 of then under investigation

Naturally, people are not happy, except the ones who are "happy" to no longer have the left and its "vile cultural marxism" on power. Just yesterday the congressman took down the law that allowed transgender people to use their new names on documents, and that is not a crisis decision to avoid spending money, in fact, it will cost money to issue all those documents again.

[Muttonhawk]

Man, that's something I would expect to see in a game of Liberal Crime Squad.

Are the anti-corruption investigations still going?

Also, collab's almost done.

[Kho]

Anything's better than those damn commies and their hippie friends, right? Turn Brazil into a proper, civilised, neo-liberal democracy friendly dictatorship. I think the requirements for success and stability are pretty straightforward: deregulation, deregulation, deregulation. Let the market do its thing. The wealth will, uh, trickle down. Eventually >.>

Now we just wait on Venezuela...all it'll take is one kick from @Frettzo xP #Frettzo'llFixIt

By the way, is anyone planning to create a character/characters on Arcon, or somehow interact with the Eskandars?

[Kho]

Just so you all know, done with exams and currently reading. And taking notes and planning. Have I got a mess for y'all

Don't be evil Kho... Instead be SUPER EVAL!

[Kho]

somehow she felt like tinting a whole planet in a beyond color would cause a certain oak-faced sibling to show up.

xDDD I'm loving all the little references to Vowzra in the posts. I love the fact that the majority aren't all too flattering xDD

@Double Capybara Can you explain the beyond colours more? I think I have an idea of what they are and do, but can you just create a list with colours and their effect on a living creature that sees them? Vowzil in particular confuses me, does it basically show what a person's potential is before killing them?

[Vec]

Ok, so I got like 1 more final to go that's due to the day after tomorrow, and then one small exam in June and I'm pretty much done as well. So @BBeast & all, I'll be back ;)

[Antarctic Termite]

Finished my last mid-year exam today! Currently working on a collab and a post.

[Muttonhawk]

Collab's done! The two week dry spell is officially broken! Just in time for people to get done with exams as well, by the looks.
