[OOC] The Descent of Man

[Terminal]

@TheSovereignGrave That is exactly my point. We don't learn much about Africa. That is a societal decision. We do Pharohs, American Slavery, then Muslim terrorists.

@UltikanaRe

Not everyone on the forum is from Flagland.

We have two options, I can change the story more and make it make more sense but that will put some people off and potentially cause all character sheets to be void or at least up for change. OR, I can completely redo this entire roleplay and repost in a week or so. I'm open to suggestions give me an answer. PLUS: People that know about nuclear winters should recall that during a "Nuclear Winter" there is also a nuclear summer which can have temperatures of 120 or so degrees Fahrenheit and it can rain acidic water for days on end. Technology wasn't so much "lost" as it was horribly and terrible torn apart, and the reason for the "war" was actually to end the spread of the Reaper virus and kill as many people as possible that were tightly grouped together.

@Marshall

What exactly do you mean by 'change the story more'? And how would it put people off? And why would you completely redo it?

[Marshall]

@TheSovereignGrave If I change the story to accomodate mutants and make things more realistic people might not want to change their CS to this and if I change anything I am making sure people know just how hostile this world is supposed to be, EVERYWHERE.

@Marshall

The thing is if you can't handle change why on earth would you roleplay? Things are subject to change all the time and all in all your the GM you kinda help set the story along.

[Marshall]

I can easily handle change, I just don't want to have people leave because of my poor planning in the beginning. I want people to stay and I can change what needs to be changed but we need to agree on the changes so this doesn't happen again.

[UltikanaRe]

I for one will stay. I know not of others, but I will.

[TheSovereignGrave]

Yeah; I wouldn't quit. Though I'm not sure major changes are really necessary, are they?

[Marshall]

Ultikana is a genius, I can just make it so that a mixture of the reaper virus and radiation caused the mutants, and acid rain from the nuclear winter and years of minor conflicts and looting have left tech hard to come by. Are these changes acceptable?

[DELETED324324]

It works, helps explain more radical mutations.

@WanderingRebel

Yeah we're just working out some details

[Marshall]

@Enalais @Terminal @TheSovereignGrave @UltikanaRe @WanderingRebel @DAWNSTAR @Quaz @Isotope I have made some improvements to the story and to some of the parts I felt I needed to express more clearly. Please give the introduction another read and please make adjustments to your Nation Sheets as necessary. I apologize for not having worked out these details in the first place I hope that you stay and we get this roleplay off the ground by Friday. Thank you.

[TheSovereignGrave]

All right. I do still think that the reason for the nukes being set off doesn't make much sense; a nuclear war of some sort would make more sense in my opinion.

[UltikanaRe]

@TheSovereignGrave@MarshallIt is likely that is the 'reasoning' rather than the 'reason'. *cough cough* oil politics *cough* (If you understand my point) "We are totally 100% reaper free. But they aren't! Lets nuke'm!" *Thinks: Mmm..oil* (Draped in sarcastic literature)

@UltikanaRe

The impression I got was that everyone nuked everyone. Not that some nations nuked the others.

[UltikanaRe]

@TheSovereignGraveYe, they all wanted each others' resources after the reaper hit and slowed productions to a halt. Anybody with nukes nuked other people, and the people with nukes nuked the people that nuked them. Nuke nuke nuke.

@UltikanaRe

I don't think the UN would be like 'Okay, let's destroy each other for each other's resources. Nevermind the fact that we'll be destroyed too'.

[UltikanaRe]

@TheSovereignGrave the UN don't do shit in 2088. They really just want oil and to explode nukes shaped like dicks. Read up on your political science brah.

@UltikanaRe

...I'm confused. Now you're not even adding anything to the conversation and you're just being sarcastic.

[UltikanaRe]

@TheSovereignGraveThat one was not sarcastic. They most likely will be disbanded by then. Also, the latter of that post is exaggerated, but still is a pretty good (if cynical) expression of our psychology.
