Kia Ora Koutou, Hello Everyone
As you are aware, the "latest game" has been running for the past couple years - its slow and staggered pace being the result of an experimentation in form mixed with the throes of an ever-busy life.
I have returned to this site on multiple occasions as a means of reconnecting with my youth and with the folks that populated it. This instance is no exception.
I have since played a version of the game in real life which has gone swimmingly. So I would like to throw some options your way, if anyone sees this.
We could potentially run some meta phase discussions via discord?
Alternatively, I have some folks who may be interested in joining us (the same ones I played with IRL).
Additionally, if we did continue playing in the future, I would like to take a long hard look at the rules. It's no surprise that the current game seems to be flouting some rules as some of them have either gone by the wayside, struggled to find a place in terms of what advantage they offer people, and some I have intentionally flouted in order to add some spice to the mystery.
However, on that note, I would like to bring attention to some of the forgotten rules, namely the ones that hinder other players. I had hoped we would have eventually moved in a more "Chiru" direction in which the players are battling each other for the superiority of their individual theories a la Erika in EP5. But you're all too good at communicating with each other!
So I would like to throw that in the discussion as well - do you think this game would get a bit more longevity with more PvP elements or is the current dynamic more than enough to flesh out and experiment with?
Let me know what you all think if you happen upon this post. It has been good reconnecting with you all.
