Here's the basic breakdown of how things are being planned, so people can know and be informed!
The attack taking place on the weekend will be the culmination of the event. It's the final showdown of ultimate destiny or whatever it was called.
Many people often complain of scripted plots, where they can't affect the outcome, and I'm afraid this one boils down to it: In the end, the current city and Zenko will go byebye, so we may build the new ones.
We could do it simply by saying it all happened, then close the sim for a day, replace everything, and open it back up with the new stuff in place, but that doesn't allow for player immersion in the events, so we opted against that so people can still interact and still play, even if they can't affect the final outcome. Don't see this as a "
nothing I do will matter", that's the wrong attitude. You are not being called to save Lismore, you are being called to play and to have a good time and to kick some pirate booty!
This is a chance for people to play out their personal stories, or to just kick some ass! During this week we are planning to have random groups of pirates pillage and rape, and it's up to you to be rid of them or to let them run free pillaging and raping.
It hasn't been set in stone
how it will all end. It could be a pirate that causes the tass in the Zenko to explode, or it could be one of the players who accidentally does it and causes the whole place to go
BOOM!, so don't go in with the "
nothing I do will matter" attitude, it might be
you who ends up blowing up the island!
If you want pirates to attack you during this week, if you have scenes you would like to play, let us know, communicate with us, and we will do what we can to make it happen!
After Sunday, time in Lismore will be set on fast-forward. People are advised to concentrate on the refugees' camp we will set up in the Caves by Phoenix (temporarily), and the city and the Zenko and all will be considered '
ruined' and '
being rebuilt'. That should last for a week at most, during which people should have the time to tie up loose ends and other details will be taken care of IC and OOC. After a few days, we will say
two years have passed, and the place is back to living conditions.
The main changes coming up will be the new city design (with buildings available for rent if you want your own city home/shop/place), and the Zenko will be officially the army of Lismore. The Zenko keeps its ranks and Relina stays in charge of the troops, but the city will get new leadership.
Behind the scenes, all this re-designing and stuff will allow for more efficient buildings, more buildings, less prims, hopefully less lag for those who still suffer of viewer-sided lag, an updated layout, and environment-related opportunities for new plots, and new enemies!
We know change can be scary, but have faith and use this opportunity to come and RP during interesting times!
...and if you have questions, just ask!
