Okay so before I vote for anything I wanna make sure I've got this right


Gabiluzbad
The Walkabout is

Gabiluzbad
something our characters can do instead of going on the Showtime jaunt?

sailor bii
yes!

Gabiluzbad
So if I'm planning on going on the jaunt

Gabiluzbad
there's not really any need to vote

sailor bii
yep

Gabiluzbad
cool

sailor bii
it's basically an alternate setting for people to go to if they don't think they'll connect with the jaunt, with the caveat that besides the original information brief and two mod-written mingles (one at the beginning, one at like a week from the end) it's entirely player directed

Quinneapolis
Showtime was the rock music adventure right

Gabiluzbad
Yes

sailor bii
yes

Gabiluzbad
Anyways RE: Showtime

Gabiluzbad
I don't feel like Kohaku has particularly strong synergy with any particular part of it?

Gabiluzbad
But

Gabiluzbad
ERIC loves every bit of this jaunt

Gabiluzbad
So I'm gonna shove her in there somehow

Gabiluzbad
My current plan is to try and sign her up for one of the plot roles

Gabiluzbad
and if I don't get in on that then investigator

Gabiluzbad
Unless something jumps out at me when we get a proper writeup for the jaunt

Gabiluzbad
Mainly I just want her to be super excited about not living in the bronze age anymore

Gabiluzbad
Indoor plumbing! Refrigeration! Hot showers!

Gabiluzbad
It's STILL more primitive than she's used to!

Gabiluzbad
Where's the cell phones!? Where's her PS4!?

Gabiluzbad
If she can get a brand new NES that would be cool though

Gabiluzbad
They don't make those anymore you know

Gabiluzbad
Here's a question though

Gabiluzbad
Are all the jaunts posed as "Arcana A vs Arcana B"?

Gabiluzbad
Like this one is Chariot vs Tower

Gabiluzbad
And if so does that mean that there's a fair amount of Player vs Player action from characters backing opposing arcana?

Gabiluzbad
Like tower vs chariot is pretty one sided but

Gabiluzbad
Star vs Emperor or something might be a bit less clear cut

sailor bii
Star v Emperor won't happen

sailor bii
star is dead :c

Gabiluzbad
That was a random example

Gabiluzbad
Emperor vs Moon then

sailor bii
yes

sailor bii
but yeah, actually, now that we're in the third phase of the game they are going to be Arcanum v Arcanum

Gabiluzbad
I jump in just as shit gets crazy

sailor bii
because the Arcana have entered the tournament part of their game

sailor bii
we won't always tell you who's going against each other

sailor bii
(in fact Olympus argues that we probably shouldn't)

Gabiluzbad
It just happened to be obvious this time?

Gabiluzbad
That makes more sense, yeah

sailor bii
yes. because the intro mingle usually has clues as to who will be next

sailor bii
and neither chariot or tower is very subtle

sailor bii
luckily the next one has at least one subtle arcanum

Rama
Also worth noting is that no one actually supports Tower including Tower's own Marked

Rama
The conflict here was more "end this quickly and cleanly" vs. "we should stop what's going on here because it's terrible"

Rama
But the possibility of a Tower win got more people than usual afraid of the consequences of the latter
