Welcome home, everyone! You're back in Cair Paradisa! IN THE DUCK POND, SOAKING WET. AND IT'S STILL THUNDERSTORMING. IN YOUR TACKY TOURIST CLOTHES.
Thank you so so so much for making this plot so fun; participation was awesome. I'll edit in rough numbers soon, for the lulz.
Any thoughts? How did you guys feel about having a lot more mass posts, instead of the usual anything-goes set-up? Concerns? Constructive criticism? General dinosaur love?
Again, much love goes to Mimi, for bringing forward the Jurassic Park suggestion in the first place, and for letting me take it. It was fun.
PLOT OVER.

SURPRISE!DINOSAUR tags were probably what kept the mass posts from going stale, and it kept all the characters on their feet. Plus, they were all were either extra lulzy, or extra HOLY SHIT. They were fun!
The best part, for me, had to be the Drive/T-Rex posts. Aside from the awesome group my character was thrown into, it was nice to be able to "interact" with the T-Rex.
I forgot I edited this initially to say again. xD

But on the flip-side, it's a good way to make sure things get done in the plot instead of everyone going "...uh what now? D:" and it's still a good alternative way to get CR since characters will feel inclined to communicate just because they're in the same room.
So I'm really just talking circles. X'D I guess I liked the posts, but would have liked them a little more spread out, perhaps? They would have worked fine if the plot had gone on for a couple more days, I think.
Also, cheers to the fun plot in general. ♥ I'm sad I got distracted and busy for a lot of it! THE LULZ WERE GRAND, THE DINOS WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER.

It was an amazing amount of fun and left a lot of opportunity for loads of CR, which is always a blast. Thanks, Mimi! And thanks to you guys for making it happen.

Question! Do objects of power/weapons come back in the lake, or will they find them in their rooms or something?

I don't know how you did it without going crazy, but seriously, you deserve an award or something for keeping the plot going and playing all the dino NPCs. You are seriously one of the most dedicated people ever. Thank you so much for keeping up and popping into threads. ♥

Ahem~ Now that I'm done fangirling :P I really enjoyed the open posts. In particular the park drive was just a very unique experience. I think it was a great idea to close people off together, because then there wasn't the pressure of trying to find someone, and the open feeling that anyone could jump into a conversation with anyone else without feeling like they were bothering the other. Maybe if there are similar things in the Oregon Trail plot?
XD wagon groups.Also, the idea of random dangers jumping into plots was so tense. My roomie can testify that while Yukari was stuck in that van and waiting to see where the T-Rex would go, I was tense. It had that element of surprise, and it really was just awesome roleplaying. Also with the random raptors jumping into posts, it was a good way to keep people on their toes, and just gave the entire plot a more real feeling.
No complaints really from this side. I guess I can see the point of making more/ expanding the plot but I can totally understand wanting to try a smaller plot because they really can get stale after a whole week. So anyway, this post was so useless but I felt a need to convey my EPIC LOVE for what you guys did ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

But I'm pretty impressed with the mod dedication on Hammond and all the dinosaur threading. The plot-specific characters really added to the experience. Godmodding up 100% of that stuff wouldn't have been the same at all.
I liked the mass posts a lot better than five billion seperate "in such-and-such a room" posts, dunno about anyone else. Made it much easier to find threads. Scrolling through a mass post and picking who and where to throw a character at was like a buffet with crab legs and prime rib on it!
In general, uhh, yeah, have some dinosaur love.

I think I would have enjoyed this plot so much more if I had FEWER CHARACTERS. |D;; What I did get done, though, with Famine, Ten and Jude was awesome fun and I wish I had the time to get everyone inivolved. This was a great plot, the format was great for getting CR, and... yes. I enjoyed it. 8D
I particularly liked the mass posts, because it urges people to create CR -- I think if everyone had done separate posts for where their folks were, then stuff would have been ignored and the plot wouldn't have been nearly as involved or exciting. I say go for that format again. \o/
JENN YOU ARE CRAZY FOR PLAYING ALL THE DINOS BUT ILU FOR IT. ♥ I WAS TERRIFIED.

One thing that should be mentioned, though 8PM is a fine time for some people, bear in mind that it's 1AM in the UK. I had to miss out on a lot of sleep to have my characters involved in the big action threads. Seriously, I was up 'til 5AM doing the Park Drive one. So some major action ones earlier in the day would be nice, instead of saving them all for evening.
Other than that though, awesome plot. I loved it.

I agree with a few of the other people that...it could have been spread out more? When you get up/get back, it was kind of off putting to already see a post have like 200 comments and think whatever was going on in it, you probably missed out in, so skim it later for necessary info, but don't bother. But still. It was awesome.
And you're amazing Jenn, for being so organized about it and throwing dino's everywhere sfdgff. ♥

That said, for some stupid reason, I'm terrified of jumping into the plot posts, and I don't exactly know why. I get excited about the major plot at first like everyone else, but when it comes right to actually joining in... I don't know, maybe I just get too intimidated by everything going on so fast to actually uh, do anything. That's why whenever Paradisa's gone into a world-changing plot, I comment here and there and pretty much disappear the rest of the time. Big plots are really cool and I'd love to take part of them more, but I don't know how to get into them without feeling so overwhelmed by the bustling activity.
Tl;dr version: Your plots rock, but I suck.
