Okay. It appears recency has won the poll, I took out trench warfare and 1920s because of their complexity or their lack of interest.

What should be put into the next poll to further decide anything else before I get Thaid and others To write a basic breakdown of the rp

Idk I just want to know the idea

I can see how it could be that way, but I still firmly believe in the ideas I've put forth, such as the FAQ for those who don't want to do research and the committee that can answer questions.

Well, everyone believes in the ideas they've put forth. It's about whether others do, and quite frankly, it's never going to be a consensus

Okay so what do you suggest?

I suggest a modern setting and a more general set of circumstances.

Regency era is, of course, just one of the many ways to have other things to do. But in reading through the posts that me and Thaid had about the setting, I think that you get an overview and can make up most of the rest. This doesn’t need to never contradict itself or be completely accurate, as it is an RP. If the setting ends up regency—which it almost definitely will considering how many people voted for it—everybody can make their own area in this setting, their own motivations, their own backstories.

I, for one, just don't know where I'd even start with something like that. I don't know the setting.

At this point in time the rp is going to be regency. I highly suggest you do a general 5 minute research project to Better understand the era.

That is very true. As with all things with many people, there will be different ideas all around, different views on how things should be done.

That is why we would explain it in the first post just enough to spark ideas, but not enough to become taxing to the reader.

I have a rather simple solution- why don't we wait for other people

but that isn't a solution, not really. It's delaying the conversation.

Basically, the setting is late 1800s or early 1900s England, under the rule of the Prince Regent George the Somethingth. He threw lavish parties and balls, and his inner circle was very rich and fancy. Outside of the aristocracy, though, there was almost no middle class. Large portions of the population lived in slums and had very little money, and it was one of the overall poorest recent time periods for England in the past 200 years. The era was during the Industrial Revolution, too, so think trains and factories and guns.

We have 7 votes for regency and 4 for both moderns combined

That summary can be put in the first post, that was excellent, thank you.

What I'm trying to get at is

a) we shouldn't make a hasty decision or short conclusion as that tends to overlook things

b) other people haven't responded, and their opinions are rather valuable (in my opinion)

And I think that this is important. I understand the urgency to get the planning out of the way, but it would be wise to consider more opinions.

But it's delaying it so others can add input too which is important. Honestly for me personally I'll go with just about anything as long as I'm having fun. Most if not all of the ideas sound wonderful to me.

I think I'm fine with regency, as long as it's not too specific and restrictive. There is still a major thing we haven't really discussed, which is what should the doomsday scenario be?

It is midnight for me. Nothing else will be happening for me tonight. And pro or anti regency discussion is open until tomorrow who knows when. We have time.

While I agree that we should wait for most people to state an opinion before we decide anything, I’m pretty sure that there are only one or two people who haven’t voted, and that that time has come.

Could it be a social doom? Or an actual doom?

Eddie? Wit? Alphie? Exp? I can name more if you want me to.

I'm just trying to get at the fact that it is rather inconsiderate to not see the value in other's opinions

Also I'm going to bed, no murder, kidnapping, cults, or romance until I return. Basically no fun without me. Goodnight everyone! Feel free to continue discussion

hmmm... I think I can agree with that. Having more opinions in the ring would make it better for the experience, most likely. I admit, I am quick to jump the gun on these things, especially when what I like seems to be ahead. Time will only tell what it'll truly-

Storms, am I sounding like a politician again?

I am-

Wow.

Hmmm... if it does wind up being regency, then I think it'd best be some sort of magical threat for the vibe we're trying to get. Maybe a demon is going to destroy the world and tells the people in many different places all over about it. The demon would possess people to tell everyone, probably.

I feel like social doom doesn't have quite enough weight to it, not to mention that's mostly just a concern for individual people in the aristocracy.

A wonderful thing called the magical reawakening could work

Oh wait yeah, I missed people in my brief headcount. Never mind, you’re right about waiting before we definitively decide anything.

Not even necessarily an entity explicitly threatening them. Maybe some sort of plague-adjacent magical scourge, or just a general, subtle degradation of the world as a whole that is concluded to be a sign of impending demise but can just almost be ignored by most people in day to day life.

If you can't tell, I really like the idea of a slow, quiet apocalypse.
