launch day is coming
You guys, I'm so excited! We're almost ready for launch!! We shall begin on 1 May, so I've decided it may as well be 1st May in game. That means it'll be Wednesday 1 May 1850/18 Jumaada al-Thaany 1266, woot! You will get a nice weather report on the day. I have decided that to kickoff the game it'd be fun to start with a threadbomb, which will be a party at the Ottoman Ambassador's residence. I still need to think up a spurious reason for this. Dignitaries, politicians, prominent business types etc will be invited. The Ambassador will also need to take on a few extra staff for the party so that could be a way to get your character in if you're not sure they'd be invited. And there's always the option of crashing, though you risk getting thrown out... ;)
For a couple of weeks after that I'll mostly let people get on with making their own character posts and just getting to know each other, and then I'll come in with a bit of gentle plot direction and so on. But I think it's best for everyone to mostly focus on interacting, seeing where chemistry sparks etc for the time being!
*twirls excitedly*
Oh btw, make sure you have joined this community! After we launch, I think I will default to posts here being friends only, except for general information posts etc. This is just so you guys feel like you can chill out and get to know each other without random people staring at your conversations.
