So are we doing the what if via simulation, are the characters actually going to be there or are they copies, will they remember the canon and/or remember the what if afterwords, etc.?

The symbol for the what if will be /*\, so put that at the top of any post for the what if.

Everyone stay off RPG entirely between midnight tonight and midnight tomorrow. Spend the day with family and such. Plus, things offline can inspire you for IC after christmas.

We've got to wait for at least Sven so it'll be a bit after christmas before starting.

Which ideas are being used and in what order and what combination?

We can just establish it by saying that the WiR opens, and extrapolate it based on context. Nothing that happens involves actual characters, and is only remembered by those watching.

You guys are my family, so I'll be here, even if nobody else is.

We can start and just keep going when he gets here. I know he doesn't like us waiting.

Good question.
