The Legion [OOC]

ENDGAME PART 2
SUMMARY

Armed with the Miracle Machine, and facing a universe that's starting to break down at the seams, the Legion must venture through Chronoblivion's outer shells - made up of the fragments of dead universes - to allow the Miracle Machine access to the dimensional space the Big C's core self exists in. Only when they're technically in the right reality can the device alter the reality in it to defeat him.

But Chronoblivion's shell is a dangerous place. Many of the individuals that have tried to look into its depths have gone mad, and every brave fool that's wandered in has never come out, nor have they broken through to the other side.

The only chance the Legion has of breaking through the shell - and also breaking it down enough to get a crack at the gooey center - is if they rely on each other on the journey through. Because if they get stuck there, the twisted pocket dimensions within will grind them away until they cease to exist.

ENDGAME FINAL CHECK-IN

This is the game's very last check-In for endgame! For this check-in you are not required to post activity proofs, this is just to register that you're planning on participating. Before hitting up any plot posts, please check in here to give the mods a head count going into endgame.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name & Journal:</b>

You may post multiple characters in the same comment. If you're bringing back dropped characters for endgame, please list them as well.

Returned players: Since this is just a final headcount for endgame, please also respond.

There is no deadline for this check in. But before you sign up or participate for any of the main endgame plot parts, you must check in here so we can get an overall count.

If you're a latecomer to endgame (like returning player joining in halfway through), you can still check in here at any time before you join in.

With the destruction of Legion World, the characters will take refuge in a decommissioned Legion outpost.

THE LEGION OUTPOST

( Read more... )

In preparation for endgame, we're designating this week for players to set up any threads they want to happen before endgame. This will allow players the ability to backtag for as long as they need. If you'd like to set up a last minute private player mission, you can also propose that so it can be set up now.

You can still bendytime future threads to pre-endgame if you need to, but we thought giving players a solid week to do this would let them have a little time oocly to do their setups and wrap up loose ends.

While there will be chances in the future for people to set up starters in reaction to ongoing events, and lulls between events that will allow for final threads before the main endgame events, this will be the last week that the current status quo of the game is in place.

Then, the first endgame event, "Lights Out" will go up on: 12/13/17

Only 7 days left until the start of the endgame phase, Legionnaires! Gogogo!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask below.

ENDGAME DISCUSSION
Hey there, Legionnaires! Korel here.

After some crit and discussion with a few players the mod team sat down and had a talk about the pacing of the rest of the game and endgame. Alongside having to consider certain things that people felt they were missing out on, we also had to consider some natural hurdles certain conceits of the game have caused the game to hit. We also had to consider the mod team's time and energy, especially with various RL things in the way, like escalating school responsibilities, new jobs, the upcoming retail season crush, and, in my case, having to move in the middle of Alaska winter to a new place and potentially going fulltime at my job, which would entail a lot of responsibilities like even being on call sometimes for surgeries.

Right now the mods are feeling a little burnt out. This mod burnout is no one's fault; you've been an amazing playerbase to mod. But the kind of sustained attention and energy a game requires is just a lot to juggle over a long period of time, especially given some of the RL situations of the mods. At this point in the game, so close to endgame, it just doesn't make sense to try to pull new mods on, either, and Legion being based on a specific canon has always made that a tough prospect.

For this reason, we've decided to move endgame up a little bit, to try to give the game a satisfying ending and move it along to the post-endgame sandbox before it loses momentum and before the mods get too burnt out. We apologize for those that recently apped or thought they'd have more time. We do plan to give you a set time to set up stuff if you want to backtag pre-endgame stuff and endgame itself should have some fun things to play out. The game will also definitely still have its post-game sandbox set up for anyone that keeps wanting to play. It's just we feel we should get to that a little sooner since it'll be self-sustaining and not reliant on the mods for people to have fun.

We have a timeline in mind for the next few months that we'd like to put forth for your consideration and while moving endgame up sooner isn't a choice that's open for discussion because part of it is based on trying to wrap things while the mods still have the time and energy, a lot of the things that happen during the leadup and endgame itself are flexible and open for discussion.
