HOME SWEET HOME
wrap-up!

So we're pretty much done le grande finale of the Christmas/New Years' plot –– feel free to backtag as much as you want/can/to your heart's desire. We just have one little problem to wrap up, which is the castle being, well... gone. And we can't have an RP about a magical castle sans castle, so that's why at midnight, the castle's going to restore everything...

Exactly to how it was on New Years' Eve, with every resident standing wherever they were when New Years ticked by. The town's the same way it was, too –– it's as if nothing ever happened. None of it. There's no sign that any of it ever happened, other than injuries and memories.

Which begs the question... was any of that... real?

So, in summary, as of midnight, just about everything in Paradisa is back to normal, castle and all. All the residents' personal things are exactly as they were left on New Years', untouched. Everything. (If you're insane, you can have your hangovers back.)

And then life goes on!

(Though we won't blame people if they don't want to stay in the castle tonight. Creepy!)

First of all: thank you all so much. You were all fantastic, and patient, and because of it, we had relatively few roadbumps and a whole ton of smooth sailing. Even though everyone's been busy and things have been hectic, it feels like everything's gone swimmingly and it certainly was a blast to see everyone play. Trust us when we say that we've had the time of our lives planning everything and putting it all in motion, and there are no words to describe how happy we are with how it's gone.

So that was a crazy/fun/insane/adjective month-and-a-bit. And after that, naturally, we need to know how we did for reference for future plots. What were your favourite parts? What was your least favourite? What would you like to see more of? Less of?

For the last week alone, we know we had problems with timeliness on emails and the usual confusion where some people don't know what's going on/have missed the loop. The emails were kind of cool for a change-up, but would you like to see that kind of plot method scrapped, or tried again in the future? It was certainly more labor-intensive on the mods' end, but it wasn't without its merits –– we got a LOT of IMs, emails and comments from people buzzing about how excited they were for it to be more of a surprise than plots usually are.

And thank you again for everything!

> A bit longer, and I was also VERY confused this morning at the entire ... conclusions the residents came to. And the explosions and everything.

I AM GLAD I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE. ;^; Because every other plot, even if I'm not around for it, I have no problem following it, but I was like, WTF this time.

That confusion thing? Totally my fault. To be honest, it wasn't really a conclusion reached my clues or theories. It was an honest to goodness mistake on Moonbay's part.

I was talking with Jenn, and the answer surfaced as I was bouncing ideas around. Since the plot was ending today, it seemed like a doable conclusion. I really can see how it creates that sense of "Bwuh?" in people. I apologize for not clearing that up earlier.

Naw, dude. It's cool. I got it explained to me afterward so that definitely made a whole lot of sense for me after the initial OMGWTFery.

Like I said earlier, it's not something my characters would have been all upset to have missed, but haha, it was definitely something that I was like, "WHEN DID THEY DECIDE THIS?" because I'm usually stalking regardless of character activity.

*hugsquish*

Aha, yeah. Prooooobably should have made things clearer. Oh well. You live, you learn.

I know what you mean about the stalking thing, too, so feeling like you missed something is sort of weird. XD

SAME. *rubs... your head* There, there.

I wasn't around today for a lot of the destruction, and admit I didn't read it. I didn't know if it was like... them going "this will fix things" or them going "I'M SO ANGRY, AAAAAHHH, BREAK THIS DAMN CASTLE BECAUSE I'M ANGRY". I thought it at least started with the second one :O which... I guess... would make more sense to me. Though... it still raises some questions, since this isn't the first time the castle has done things to annoy the residents, so it only makes so much sense they attacked it now, and not previous times.

Awww ♥ It's okay ;_; I didn't comment much today myself. Just a couple of characters breaking some things... and I haven't even done anything with the aftermath yet :x

Yeah :( I would have liked to see more attempts at figuring other things out, where more people got in on that part... but that sort of goes hand in hand with the plot needing to have been a little longer so they could have gotten the chance, I think.

Yeah :3 IT'S GOOD CRIT! I admit, if I hadn't seen people say something about the length of the plot, I probably wouldn't have thought to say anything about it myself... even if my saying something about it is "I agree with the useful comments other people said :Db"

I AM VERY PLEASED to see that the mods are making a post to get feedback on the plot. MODDLY TYPES THAT MIGHT BE READING THIS? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE POSTS LIKE THIS, THEY COULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR GETTING PLAYERS OPINIONS OUT. ... That didn't really need to be in all caps :(

I AGREE about the conclusions they came to. I was pretty confused by them, too.

YES BUT NOW THEY CAN.. NURSE THEIR WOUNDS AND HANGOVERS WITH IT :D
