A Turn 0
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
I would like us to have a brief Turn 0.
Only 50 to 100 posts, depending on how euthusiastically people post to it.
This is to give people a chance to read and respond to the Sending of the Wanderer.
The Turn is considered to last only a couple of hours In Character.
At the beginning of the brief Turn, Vecna and his Legions appear in the Present at Tovag Baragu, so he and they hear the Sending of the Wanderer.
I want this partial Turn 0 to be a Turn without combat, though.
No fighting. Not yet.
Anything else but fighting.
Use diplomacy, make threats, ask questions, make comments, make alliances, do deals, threaten Vecna, ally with Vecna, threaten the Torilians, go and engage in diplomacy with the Torilians, talk to the Lortmil Technomancy, threaten the Lortmil Technomancy, rail against the Wanderer, cheer on the Wanderer, anything but fighting.
No fighting on this partial turn, this turn 0.
This will give people who want to join in a last chance to do so before massive war starts.
This will give people who haven't read the Wanderer's post, a chance to do so before they must spend all their time defending their Power.
For a brief turn of 50 to 100 posts, I declare no fighting. That shall be our Turn 0.
To be fair to everyone, nobody gains any points on Turn 0. Only a few hours have passed In Character anyways.
But it is fine to share technological and magical secrets, if you wish to do that.
The Wanderer's Sending is long (8 pages), and it is extremely offensive and provocative In Character.
In no way, however, is it meant to be insulting Out Of Character, and has nothing to do with anything OOC.
The Wanderer's sending has an obvious intention in mind, and the Wanderer bluntly says it at the end himself - dis the Torilians, and do away with the Lortmil Technomancy, and shun the Industrial Revolution.
Ironic, I think.
This is an Industrial Revolution thread, but it begins with an ardent call to end the Industrial Revolution before it begins.
Will you all support me here?
I need a Turn 0, 50 to 100 posts long, in which there is to be no fighting, but all other things are fine.
This whole thing is an experiment.
This Turn 0 is also an experiment. Perhaps what is said in this Turn 0 will lead to things not occuring quite as they might have otherwise.
This Turn 0 I will begin on the 19th of this month.
I will post it as Turn 0.
The main IR will still begin on the 20th, with Turn 1, and then everyone can do as they intend (with all the messy results I know are coming!)
So, everyone, bear with me on this non-fighting Turn 0.
