All right. Since everyone who replied seemed to think this was a good idea (or at least didn't think it sucked XD) we're going to go ahead and ... move early!
Not everyone, of course, because that defeats the purpose of a control group going early.
We're aiming for Wednesday, October 13, which is the week of Earthquakes and when the move is suggested. The lottery will follow that Friday, and the bears will arrive on the old island that Monday, and then ... everyone else moves. So it's roughly 12 days before the group move.
Remember: volunteering to move means your character cannot play in the bear plot. There may or may not be something going on at the new island that week, depending on what we think we want at that time. The bear plot is probably going to mostly be a hide-and-seek plot, because I feel bad killing the bears, who are really getting screwed over as it is since the Heads snaked their armor. The hotel's going to get totally trashed in the process though.
But I digress. The bear plot writeup comes later.
( Rambly! )So, you guys really do have until Friday, but if everyone replies tonight/tomorrow/whatever, we'll roll up then. NOT THAT I'M TRYING TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO REPLY OR ANYTHING. ::cough::
Um. a few random facts that might influence your decisions if you're straddling a fence:
1) there will be ammo on the new island. not
much, but some, because there are going to be JUNGLE BEASTIES at random and ... they might need shooting.
2) the network's available, so that method of interaction will be open
3) when the splinter group is moved, there will be webcams available on the laptops.
4) the new place is
really nice, and has a proper infirmary that i haven't gotten around to updating about yet but TOTALLY WILL
5) you miss the last half of earthquakes, and all of ice bears, but you stand a chance of getting into the lottery as it will be held on new!island
Okay. That said, tell me what you want, baby!
