TBNES1: Scraps and Slaves

[Abaddon]

happened a couple weeks ago.

How long is each update?

Do you realise the absolute society collapse that will happen in the few years following this event? i'm talking BILLIONS of deaths?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I do realize it.

and each update is a season.

 

[Ekolite]

I feel like the game should start a bit later after this event has happened, maybe like a couple of years or so. Just because it all seems a bit sudden for there to be hordes of cannibals and nomadic tribes and everything.

I mean yeah, I can see that happening, but not after just a few weeks.

Just my 2p

 

[Dreadnought]

I wouldn't mind it happening a few years afterwards; it'll fit my backstory better.

 

[merciary]

Yeah I'm kinda for it being a few years after the initial event.

 

[nutranurse]

I agree with the others! Even a few months would make more sense.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Alright... it has been 1 year since the change.

 

[Abaddon]

We will be using real world. current maps/locations I take it?

Thusly "starting location" will be important.. we can't just decide there is a castle somewhere there isn't, or a town/village/city for that matter?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

yep. Modern map, it is now 2012, a year after the change.

 

[Abaddon]

Sweet. When are you going to do update zero?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Sometime today. I'm working on it

 

[Dreadnought]

Colchester Castle

 

[Abaddon]

Do you need out submissions for update zero?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I need your faction, yes, if you want to be able to send orders for update 1...

 

[Abaddon]

Well, i'll play ME IRL

So.. Speeton Village.. North Yorkshire
I'm a 25y.o inheriting the family farm, with the village and a few others having flocked to me since I had a harvest of several hundred tons of wheat/barley and oil seed rape! Not to forget my 2000 pigs and 60 cattle (oh an 12 chickens)



I imagine those numbers might have changed over a year however!!!!


Scavenger
Lucky
Village

I am King of Manor Farm.. with a elected council of 12 elders. I have a vote counting for 5, they all have a single vote.

Louis Rogerson

 

[nutranurse]

Updated my background!

 

[Tecknojock]

Faction Name: Order of the Bright Star
Faction Trait: Religious
Starting Location: Ripon Cathedral
Government: Theocracy
Leader Name: The Great Prophet Harris Culmer
Leader Trait: Charismatic
Capital Type: Rural Castle(?) if not, settlement I suppose. The cathedrals is right at the edge of Ripon, and Ripon's not a very big town.
Background: The Order of the Bright star, lead by the Great Prophet Harris Culmer, had predicted that a cataclysmic event would occur in the spring of 2011. With the event happened, and his prediction held true against all odds, Harris Culmer managed to amass a substantial group of followers who took shelter from the chaos inside the Ripon Cathedral. The order believes that this cataclysm was not the end of the world, but rather a chance to begin it anew. The order is the sole light of redemption in this new world.
