PORT: Land of the Dead
Dates: 11/17-11/20
GET YOUR GUNS READY, BECAUSE WE'RE HEADING INTO A SETTLEMENT THAT'S BEEN OVERRUN WITH THE LIVING DEAD--

No, sorry, zombie enthusiasts, this isn't actually a George Romero port. What's actually happening is this:

We're visiting an afterlife. Specifically, this afterlife:

Okay, so I was kind of vague about the explosion/takedown because I wanted to hash out details/gauge interest and see how it was likely to go before deciding ( ... )

So far, we've got interest from Blonsky (although IDK how involved in the takedown he'll be, or if he just wants to punch Perry and that's it), Dick and Locke. SO I THINK WITH THE ADDITION OF RINZLER, WE SHOULD BE SET.

ARTHUR WILL SHOW UP A BIT LATER TO STOP THE PERRY PUNCHING AND ~REASON WITH HIM~-- will Blonsky punch Arthur for getting in the way (and being Arthur), y/n?

I will climb mountains to be online. I'll probably prewrite the post and run it by you.

Yay! I'll stick up the log after you post the Doctor, then. I'm trying to figure out how much time, OOC, should pass between the initial "GET OFF THE BOAT" from the Admiral and Seven's post-- I guess that depends on if people actually want to post "YAY PORT IS FUN!" before shit hits the fan or not.

Should it be a full day of normal port? Or would you rather it be done sooner than that?

Nah, not a full day of normal port. I think it'd be fine if it went up within a couple hours of the Admiral's post-- unless people really WANT to play out the brief pre-port port? But IDK why anyone really would :V

BUT IF PEOPLE REALLY DO WANT TO, JUST TELL ME AND I'LL TRY TO GAUGE INTEREST ON THAT. But since we just did Paris last month as a regular port, I'd rather get the ball rolling on the nanomites/Land of the Dead sooner rather than later.

After last month they might rage-face at a shift away from enjoyment after they got into it.

QUESTION: Will Zero remain intact? Or will anyone in Zero be turned loose by the Rexsplosion?

Oh yeah, I figure they would, I'm just thinking that there's not much need to play out much "HEY THIS IS FUN C:" since it's only supposed to last for an hour in-game. AND BESIDES, REX MADE THINGS BETTER. THE LAND OF THE DEAD IS SO GLAMOROUS, GUYS.

Thaaaat I'm going to leave to personal preference. I think it'd be cool to open up Level 0, but if players want to keep characters in Level 0, we can say that some of the cells were exposed by the nanomites while others remained secure.

I would love Vas to do one thing that isn't completely kneecapped. If she can at least tell Rex WTF ARE YOU DOING MY STUFF IS ON THERE that would be great, even if she's just on the sidelines of the more physically-capable.

Sure! I'm down with that. SORRY ABOUT YOUR STUFF, VAS, BUT HE'S TRYING TO HELLLLLPPPP

By freeing everybody from... life, whoops.

It sounds like you've got enough people for Team Takedown, but if you needed an extra talking-down-Rex type person, Narvin would be very invested in the Barge not being nanomited because 1) His happy new TARDIS is in there and he just got her and doesn't want her dead, and 2) Gallifrey, deal w/Admiral, planet at stake, etc, etc.

Uh...Narvin being Narvin, he wouldn't argue against nanomiting on generic moral grounds or because it's destructive, but because being unable to save Gallifrey or even see it again would destroy Narvin's life. I don't know whether an argument that comes from total self-interest would be a good thing for Rex or not. :\
