Halp! We need inputs!
So, since we are a group-run game (no, really, we seriously are), and you're not all part of the discussions on twitter (I really need to stop modding over twitter XD ), I have a proposal.
I could probably lay out the progression of events that lead to it, but I don't remember and it would give you dangerous knowledge of the inner-workings of my devious mind, and we just can't have that =P
At any rate, Matt wants a control group for the new island, to move them there a week or two early (but probably not longer than that).
What this means is:
1) People moved to the new island would be unavailable to play in the Ice Bear plot since that immediately precedes the group move.
2) the network would still have access to the old island, so network posts would be available to all characters, regardless of their location (meaning people on the new island could still talk to people on the old one)
3) threading, however, would be restricted to people on the character's current island (So if your character was moved and X character was not, they couldn't thread together, but they could still talk on the network).
(I was also thinking about having the lottery be held on the new!island, but the attack take place on the old one just to screw with people XD )
4) this is not replacing any of the existing plots; this is an additional thing. You could call it a select experiment. ;)
We are currently engaged in debates for how to select people to move though. I'd like a group of rough a dozen people (in the 10-15 range) so everyone has interaction opportunities on both sides. So we can either roll randomly and players who don't want to move their character can opt out and we can re-roll (or take volunteers) for the open spots, or we can call for volunteers with the stipulation that Matt is choosing a control group, and may discount some people for IC reasons. (For example, he wants Chase to go to see if escape's possible and I'd like Jaime to go so she can't make the bear plot too easy >:D ) But I am open to suggestions on how we'd like to see this handled, or if we even want to do it at all.
So, have at. Debates are open; let's hear what you guys think of this idea.
