The Microscope: Great Prospects

I already declared the focus. If any player gets a focus I would like to let them do so.

The ordering system is non-linear with events so perhaps for now Polybius can be skipped, but I will wait until Polybius goes to make the last event and Polybius will get to be lens next turn as per expected. I want to have everyone be able to make the same amount of actions.

UPDATE: You now can go in any order, when adding events in a focus with the exception of the Lens who must wait until everyone else goes to make a scene/event.

Let us begin.

[@Mention] the next player when it is their turn. The character tab has the turns.

Yes. One hour.

The Microscope: Great Prospects

Seems like 4 PM on my end may be more optimal. I'd like to start with all players and May have things start if I see everyone online at the same time.

@Ironparrot@Babbysama@Polybius@bluetommy2

I will start this in 90 minutes.

The Microscope: Great Prospects

Perseverance and all that.

We will start tomorrow, I want to first have one night to see if any player 6 appears. If not, the game will start anyways since 5 players is enough.

The last event I have be a collective mass suicide and I decided that to be a light event. It seems it is going to be a quite dark future after all the happiness that the early parts of the TL had.

I think the current player count is good, but I will hold over a bit until sunday. Any further palette modifications you can propose, but everyone else players will need to show acceptance of it.

Also for clarity is the Vektri colonization before or after the alien invasion period Ironparrot has set up?

I moved from the session system, the main purpose of activity hours is to see if there's good sync times, though given the short time it takes to make a post anyways I suspect a player could check the thread for a few minutes daily and make a short post. The player whose turn it is will get a [@Mention] notification. The most time consuming posts are collaborative scene posts (for that reason dictated scenes that you ask and have the next player answer are what I suspect will be more common). Chances are early on the focus will be on making periods, expanding on the periods the game is starting with and events before delving into the scale of scenes. However even collaborative scenes in theory should only take 15-30 minutes at most since the scene ends when the proposed question is answered, continuing said scene being done by asking a new question. Hell, characters introduced in one event may transfer to other events or even periods depending on the context.

I should note that a way to prevent another person from offing a character you want alive for a certain period is to establish the point in time when said character is killed off before someone else does.

Also while suggesting ideas is not allowed, discussion of what currently exists is. For one, it seems that the TL overview is shaping up faster than I initially thought it would.
