WAGON ASSIGNMENTS: YAY OR NAY?

[thetrailmods]

Now that the game is considerably smaller and we have a better idea of what we're looking at for size, it seems like it would be plausible to set up some Wagon Assignments! That is, your characters would all be jumbled together into wagons with one another at the discretion of the mods+a randomizer (along with some player feedback, of course. not

- There would not be a punishment system, no. It would be more of a guideline idea; they would still be able to hang out in other wagons with others as they're not too far apart on the trail.

- New applicants would be randomized, yes. They would still be able to interact with those characters, but they would not be in a wagon with them. The idea of course behind the wagon assignments would be to encourage CR between characters who otherwise might not decide/think to tag one another. I bring it up because there's been some demand to see the wagon assignments return.

And, of course, the wagons can change over time and characters can be randomized into wagons with one another when those changes occur.

Oh, of course! :) And, requests would be allowed, but probably limited to a certain number (as that had been a big factor in "ahhh how do i keep up with this" the first time 'round).

Noted! Thank you.

Since enough people have mentioned it, I think what will happen is we can ask what people's current wagon assignments are and then those without wagons will be assigned -- then going forward, additional characters will be randomized. :3

I love the idea of having the wagon assignments again, but as far as I can remember the problem with it before were all the wagons with four inactive characters and one active character. Will we be doing anything to fix that?

[thetrailmods]

Ah, the issue from before had been that players would drop from game and suddenly we'd have a wagon with just one character! We have a few ways of dealing with it -- most notably that wagons do get re-arranged when there are resets to the game, but other suggestions are definitely accepted and we're open to them.

As a brand new person with a character who's not particularly a social butterfly, I like the idea of wagon assignments. :)

Wagon assignments going forward sound good, but I'd rather not have my current assignments changed.

[thetrailmods]

Noted, thank you! I have an idea that I'll get a feel for what existing wagons are and make those into wagons, then the residual, wagon-less characters (as well as newly-accepted characters) would be assigned.

..wtf was my phrasing there. By "get a feel" I mean, I will ask what the existing wagons are and set those up as wagons to start. Yes.
