UPDATES! Firstly, the IC thread is active. GO GO GO! It can be found here!Secondly, I've decided the IC thread will be in thematic/subject chapters. So the first one ( CHAPTER ONE: The Dawn of Voyages ) could basically be called the beginnings of your exploration and expedition. Pretty simply, it would be good to get an idea of what your faction's like, what they're doing in preparation to going to this island, what they're doing about home affairs. Dont be put off by the chapter titles, as I will be explaining each one in here too. It doesn't restrict what you do, but rather bases part of the thread under one theme. So the first couple of pages may be this getting ready to go/on the way/almost there. Chapters work really well on other threads, it stops stories stretching on for infinity, and rounds off the section. Again, you can have overarching stories going through chapters or interactions outside the chapter's theme, so view them as an idea of what can be done rather than a limitation. This first chapter is just introductions and getting ready/being on the way to this new land. Other chapters will be explained here too. If say, something like "CHAPTER SIX: Stuff's on fire yo" crops up, i'll explain like "oh, some supervolcano goes off on the island, what do you do" and really that is going to have some effect on your posts during that period. Any questions, holler. Thirdly, just for ease, I've put the starting season as spring. Whether Spring in your part of the world means glorious sunshine or freezing hail is your choice, but just so we're all agreed what season this is in. Just because say my guys are posting during the daytime doesn't mean you have to. To be honest, being on the same day/time doesn't really come into effect until we're all in the same place. Fourthly, I don't really want anyone making it to the island just yet. Point one, i'd like to see people's own relations and interactions come up first and foremost - despite this being a thread about discovering a new land, your own people and their wants/desires/problems come first. Point two, I haven't finished designing a map yet. I do have ideas for what's going to be on it, how it's going to work (because you're not going to know anything about it until you explore it), but just not put pen to paper as such. Fifthly, thank you guys for waiting. I know this idea began waaaaaaaaay ages ago. But we're finally on it.

So we know the land exists? Is that how the IC thread is starting?

You know it exists, you know it's large, and you know it's seemingly uninhabited. There's many sources telling you all this and you've probably already made/are making the decision to go.

Working on my next IC post, just been caught up in things. Should be a bit of a map on here soon too, with some limited information about this fabled island - presume you've heard through the word of sailors or just your own faction's intelligence.

Ace! At the moment there's no real order - the events which happen before any of us make landfall at this new place aren't necessarily reliant on one another, so if you get some ideas or just want to add more than be my guest. I'm just trying to find time to polish off my next post and do a bit more on the map. Map's going to be a little vague at first, as you can expect.

As discussed with other staff members of the forum, a handful of threads are closing. This one isn't, due to the grand amount of work put into characters and shizz. Business as usual kids, just up the speed a wee bit. Chop chop!
