The X-Mansion has a network that serves as an internet system within the grounds, but I'm not sure how well the rest of the internet throughout the world will be working - with people not going to their jobs and such. If some areas still have power and have uninfected people running sites, then yeah, I'd imagine there would be a few sites that are updating, but things like LJ or something might be going down hill so far as maintenance goes. Anyway, that's all. From Xavier's, you can log on, but there's probably not much to see. There were references to e-mail in previous posts, but those were within the mansion.

M'kay. I'm not sure everyone understands what's happening in the game so far as plot and details of what every day life is like goes. So, here's the truth of it.
Honestly? We took most of this plot line from I Am Legend. I would really appreciate it if those who have seen the movie could recall the facts they saw there and applied them to this game. If you haven't seen the film, then please check out the wikipedia page that explains the plot of the 2007 version of the film: here.
For a run-down...
This is a minorly-apocalyptic plot setting, and we started it AFTER all the major issues would've happened. All the battling is over, all the families being torn apart is over, all the chaos. It's now up to the folks at the X-Mansion to stay alive and to help find a cure for the virus (Beast, Moira (from afar), Britannic, Recon, Xavier, Phoenix, etc). They believe they can cure all of these creatures and get them turned back to their normal, human states. There is info in the plot page. And in the oocs. I don't think some of you have read it all... If you have, then excellent, and thank you. Maybe folks missed a few things.
The US (and probably most of Canada and wherever else in the world this virus has gotten to, which for our purposes will be everywhere) has been abandoned. There are creatures that come out at night that eat you. This isn't the flu. No one is around in the day time - creature or not, they're hiding.
There are immune survivors, and they are in a very few safety zones throughout the US. Most all of the police and military are dead or guarding the survivors. They are no longer patrolling or bothering themselves with evacuated areas. Manhattan has been quarantined. Unless you are a mutant or immune and a great hide-and-seeker, then you wouldn't be there. Facts are totally hit and miss around here and things aren't making a lot of sense. I'm sorry about that. But until everyone's sure about the plot and details and such, well, I don't want any threads going up. The threads that are up at the moment (a good deal of them) have contradicting info and aren't going with the flow. Don't get me (us) wrong - we don't want to control every aspect of every character/player's experience. But if the plot doesn't make sense and isn't being perceived correctly, then the game is pretty well pointless, save for a bit of character development.
To be blunt - life is over - there's nothing left. Granted, our references to all this were either vague or belated, but they have been around so sorry for the confusion. If you don't wish to play any longer now that things are more clear, we understand and apologize. The virus is so fast and its effects are even quicker (the creatures). No one goes to work, few are alive. The X-Mansion is a safe zone for mutants only. There are other safe zones. The only reason any mutant would go out at night (even with a group, even if they were all powerful) is to safe another one. No one goes out at night - it's suicide. It's just not done.
Please, check over these links again and comment here if you have any questions.

ABOUT GENERAL PLOT AND MORE INFO ON THE VIRUS PLOT ('MOST URGENT PLOT')
P.S. Please - if there are more than two people in a thread, do not post out of turn. Wait for them to respond. There is a contact list for a reason - if you get impatient and want the third or fourth party to respond so you can carry on, then e-mail or IM them, but please don't go on a posting spree and leave someone behind for having to work an eight hour shift at their job. I wouldn't be uptight about this, but there's a mention of it in the rules (7?), and we have more members than we've ever had before, and with the plot being so wonky at the moment, I just don't want things to go chaotic. Thanks guys, for being so patient. |
