The Dreamwidth Move: Part the 2nd

[lucetimods]

Hey guys- I hope everyone had a happy holiday, whatever that holiday may be. Got a few things to announce:

This is a reminder- for those unaware, by the way, we are currently taking a vote of whether or not to move over to Dreamwidth, due to Livejournal's recent changes and lack of support. If you have not yet read and voted in the poll OVER HERE

First off, mods, you're all awesome for putting so much work into checking everything out over on DW for us. <3 Personally, I'm really excited about the move!

But I voted for no plot in regards to it. While I think the smaller, simpler plot would be fun, I think the bigger one sounds like it could be a lot more stressful for the characters. I know some muns are stressed about the move too (especially, I'm sure, those who voted no on the poll but will still follow Luceti regardless), so it seems like it might just wind up being a lot messier than it would be without it.

Plus, I'm imagining when new characters do start trickling in, that would mean the first few people accepted would be the only ones there... so characters might not get the chance to, say, meet up with their new castmates upon arriving.

If this does end up happening, I'd at least recommend maybe have a log for new comers in the empty village instead of individual journal intros? Otherwise they might be kind of sparse in the beginning if everyone wanted to post their own entry...

EDIT: And on additional note in regards to the smaller plot, I can actually see that one being pretty simple and kind of funny if like... the Malnosso just announce in the morning that the entire village was shifted somewhere else (and only people awake at like 3 am noticed and were like WTF or something), and the villagers just have to deal with the fact that there are suddenly like 30 NEW FEATHERS ALL AT ONCE instead of them trickling in gradually.

A log is actually what I was thinking, in regards to the new players, since it would be hard for newcomers to organize themselves, I think. I confess this is sort of new territory for me since I've never actually started a new game, just took over old ones!

This is pretty much why I'd like for the move to be introduced close to when apps open, just to make it easier for everyone joining the game as well as let current players play with incoming castmates/friends ASAP.
