Note: I hope that anything I say from here on out doesn't come across as rude - I'm just trying to be completely honest and get my opinion out there.
First of all, there's a lack of progress being made. I understand that world building takes a bit of time so that everything is perfected, but looking through this thread, there are a lot of separate ideas and even more backtracking. Keeping at this rate, we are going to continue to get relatively nowhere with this rebuild. You all have a lot to contribute and that's fantastic but... We need to pinpoint.
I'm going to say now that I haven't gotten the chance to read through everyone's replies fully, although I have skimmed and have a lot of information from that. Unfortunately, I don't have the attention span to read so many blocks of text, especially when there seems to be a lot of repeating and, as I said, super spread out ideas. I have, however, noticed that there is a real problem regarding the map.
Personally, I don't think the map matters much as of right now. However, I do think that sticking with a certain area (such as Europe) is the smarter move, as there is then a set history. Otherwise, history would have to be endlessly debated as well. Considering we can't agree on a general idea, coming up with a specific history that makes everyone happy would be difficult. And sure, real life history could be kept with custom maps, but it's not as realistic. I can go way more in depth with my opinion on this, but I'd prefer not to, seeing as how I just said the map shouldn't be the priority.
The priority should be the general idea, regarding post apocalypse and what not. A decision has to be made there on what route the majority would like to take, as that's the most important part of the rebuild, and then more specific aspects can be decided from there that make the most sense. As of right now, a lot of ideas are being thrown out there, and while they're good, it's causing a lack of focus. I think the best approach would be moving from one aspect to the next (of larger importance to smaller).
Going from that, I see that the majority of people prefer postap, which is understandable because I know a lot of people who prefer more realistic human roleplay rather than fantasy and other out there concepts. I think we should delve into this, so I'm asking a question: why would you guys like/dislike postap? What are the pros/cons? What do you want that wouldn't be realistic in that setting, if anything?
This is something we should definitely begin to get into.
Thanks for hanging in there with me y'all. I love the human rp and want to see it thrive (': but I also hate the feeling of wasting time.
Edit;; I definitely feel like I'm missing something lmao but /: it is what it is. I don't have the time to look back right now so feel free to... let me know any important details.
