It was a symbol of power, of wealth, of progress.
It was a haven for the oppressed, a home for the thinkers, an asylum for revolutionaries.
It was the door to the future... and the pathway to the end.
Right, so onto the actual game. I'm on vacation, so I'm running this for the foreseeable near future, so long as I continue to have player support and involvement. The game will be run similar to the past CityIOTs; that is, almost exclusively via RP, and with "real-time" reactions, rather than formal updates.
To join, create a character, who must be part of a new or existing faction. Both must have an original backstory. Lastly, claim a reasonably-sized portion of the map for a house and 3 buildings.
As GM, I reserve the right to veto backstories/factions and forcibly break up hegemonies. I will not prohibit or otherwise bar players from participating, so if you are willing to change your ideas to something more manageable, you should be fine.
Lastly, some of you may be wondering about the backstory for the city. As always, the history is rather cryptic; I can confirm that this is not, in canon, the same storyline as the previous games, and parts of the history can be uncovered or created through players involvement.
Some ground rules:
Mechanics for the city council will be established when I see what player interest looks like.
EDIT: If I don't have at least 10 players within 3 days, this will not run. Seriously. Join if you'll join, don't sit and say maybe.
