Fun 'n Games! Part-2

A recent game poll asked: "If you were the Master Plotter, how would you guide the game-story?" A variety of wild & crazy scenarios were proposed. The answers were interesting, to say the least -- and Power & Chaos were very much in evidence! Here are some of the more popular selections our players made.

Ace finds & kills the "Fort River After Dark" editor. This one was SUPPOSED to be a joke! "Fort River After Dark" is sort of an anonymous newspaper in the game that dishes the dirt on all sides. Apparently it's not...um...always popular with the people it dishes on. (haha!)

Tori loses her voice for a month. This was also a joke but a mild one & done with affection -- seems like others share the love. "Tori" is a character by one of our younger players who is a typical young teen. She has a lot of problems, asks a lot of questions, never lets up -- very much a reminder of our dear friends Patsy & Cloe from The Tribe.

Shikra comes back to haunt Prince. Ah, now this one makes sense. Prince & Shikra were like ships that passed in the night...and then kept bumping 'n passing 'n sending off sparks every time. Some of the best "love" moments in recent game seasons have been between those 2 characters. Unfortunately Shikra was killed in a big fight scene a few game-days ago...Prince hasn't found out about that yet. And who knows? Maybe she will haunt him for awhile...

The Wanderer is someone from game-past. This was a very popular choice among our players. It involves a new character, "The Wanderer," who hasn't really been revealed in-game yet. All very secretive & mysterious...and intriguing. Speculation is running high on whether he really IS a new character or someone from our game's past. I guess we'll see....

Actually, of all the choices given to our players, there was only 1 that didn't receive a single vote: Saber buys Val's bar and is hugely successful. Which I guess makes sense in a quirky way. To have a character buy a business venture & be successful with no snags or problems or anything...I guess to most players that sounds kinda boring.

That also probably says something large about our players -- they WANT to be challenged. Forget life as normal. Forget solving day-to-day problems & just going about the business of living. Sounds like they want the excitement 'n the adrenalin rush.

It's gonna be interesting to see if any of these proposed scenarios actually play out in-game. If nothing else, it won't be boring!
