ooc wrap up for when my time comes around

[cozen]

Yaaay we did it. We're done. Thank you all for letting me take over the whole game with this for so long, and apologies to the dead-character-players who were left without much to do for longer than I originally anticipated. A few wrap-up notes:

1. In the "corrected" timeline, there will be no physical evidence of the sad timeline—no scars, no lingering aches, no reports or letters or anything else.

2. I'm leaving it up to players of dead characters to decide whether they want their characters to have had a sense of there being an afterlife or not. If you'd like them to have a sense that their existence continued after life in some way, though, it will be a very vague and formless way, like when you wake up in the middle of a dream and instantly can't remember anything about it. If you'd prefer for them to have a sense of nothing, that is also fine. And either choice might be factually wrong. We just don't know!

3. There's now a wiki page for this event here with a chronological list of links at the end. I'll flesh it out more soon, but everyone else is more than welcome to edit it to add any details and links of their own that they would like to be easy to reference in the future.

4. If you want/need to do some OOC coordination regarding what your character did in the "corrected" timeline, which we are mostly handwaving, you can do that in this post! See the comments.

5. If you have any last questions for me, you can also do that in this post, below.

6. If you would like to volunteer to write a report for any of this (how the time machine was created, what happened at Granitefell for intel purposes, etc.) then you can also do that below. Otherwise I will write one even though it doesn't fully make sense for my character to be the one to do it.

QUESTIONS/REPORT VOLUNTEERS

[cozen]

Ask me questions and/or tell me if your character is going to handle a report on some aspect of this.

[bouchonne]

Will NPCs whose lives were affected in some way by Riftwatch being wiped off the map have these doubled memories too? E.g., the average Kirkwaller, allies who were notified of the disaster, etc?

[cozen]

That is a great question and I will have to confer with the other mod about the implications and get back to you.

I wanna get some report-writing practice in & Stephen makes sense to try, so I could take a stab at it! (… altho admittedly with the IC flavour that he would have to dictate and someone else physically write it down for him)

[biggame]

THANKS HERO

[grindset]

concept: combine stickman input with dictation

[portalling]

YES perfect we can collab

[grindset]

the pact is sealed

[luaithre]

how did Granitefell make it out in nu timeline? did a man and his dog give warning in time

[cozen]

Granitefell was fine! The attackers were much less interested in doing anything else to it when (as far as they knew) Riftwatch didn't turn up.

CORRECTED TIMELINE COORDINATION

[cozen]

If you need to plot, coordinate, or just OOCly announce what your character was doing in the handwaved corrected timeline for the last month, do that here.
