Alright for votes so far we've got: 

dreaming - 1 + 2
upscale - 2 + 3
JJ - 2 + 3 or 1 + 2
Tekno - 2 + 3
Doc - All
Toska - 2 or 3

Majority favors 2 and 3, so conflict. I think this is a good way to go. But just because we go the conflict route doesn't mean we won't have interaction at the party/meetings right now. It won't be instantly crashed with death all around, the Order will wait for them all to arrive and get properly intoxicated/tired.

So really what we'll most likely have is: interaction between families, characters, and leaders --> conflict between families, characters, and leaders (could be brought on by many things, which someone can come up with in one of their posts. Maybe they assassinate another family's leader (though this would have to be agreed upon by the player whose leader is killed, or you could use an NPC family) or maybe the conflict is more subtle and political) --> then the Order shows up with outcasts maybe or outcasts are already there and get pulled into it, they proceed to fuck things up while the witches try to defend themselves from the hunters and each other.

Does that make sense/sound good? It doesn't have to be overly dramatic, but should be intense.
