OoC [Mage the Awakening] "After the 2003 Hoax"

[Cire]

Just in case any one is interested, I play to start a epistolary campaign set in 2009. I am going with an epistolary campaign as I think I do a better job with it.

[Cire]

I just wanted to thank everyone for playing. I think everyone did a great a job of creating characters and I enjoyed all of their adventures. The sole regret I have about this game is that I failed to run this game and respond to changes in cast as anywhere NEAR well as I should have. I was thinking about and still am thinking about starting a new thread for this game, but real life has been distracting to me more than usual lately. My working hours have changed quite a bit and both my parents have health issues right now, plus an aunt just died. I share these things not to complain as we all have stuff that we must face. Instead I share these things just to make clear why I have not moved forward with a new thread. I have no intention of letting the fine people of this forum down twice.

[Cire]

No more reboots. Just a new thread.

[Mockery]

I don't see any problem with restarting. It kind of makes perfect sense at this point. That said, I think I'll sit this game out if it does reboot.

[Cire]

I am considering restarting this game in Auckland. A part two, if you will. Perhaps that will allow new players on board, if they would care to do so. Any thoughts?

[Cire]

Maybe, but it might save his life from the great Hunter.

[egreham]

Would captivity go against Bone Dog's endgoal?

[Cire]

I am such a fool! Time to edit!

[egreham]

"I understand," replied Bone Dog. When offered the his phone, he called the Great Hunter. He said, "Miss Watson wants before that Dawn is a Seer before she does anything."

"Let me talk to her," ordered the Great Hunter.

Dutifully, Bone Dog handed his cell phone back to the woman he knew as Miss Watson.

I'm trying to imagine how Bone Dog gets the phone on his hand and talk to it while they're handcuffed behind his back and to a chair and I'm just like:

[Cire]

Yes. I think this is an Aukland game until and if the remaining players go elsewhere.

[egreham]

So basically everyone is abandoning the Not-Aukland train.

[Cire]

Mockery explained it well. I got confused as I all too often do.

[Mockery]

Whoah wut ze hell?

Cire meant Lar. Winchester is wholly subject to the Imperial rewrite and so doesn't remember a thing, not least of all because a.) the hoax in question has never been relevant to the story from the beginning and b.) it would lead to sidetracking away from the current storyline.

(PS Just a minor bit of clarification because I acknowledge it was pretty vague: I had intended for Winchester to kill Ponte with direct application of Mind magic. The Seer never fired his gun.)

[egreham]

My thought was that some Imperial Magic was used so that no April 2003 Hoax took place. However, I see Windchester (if he still around) being unaffected since he was not in the Fallen World per say.

Whoah wut ze hell?

[Cire]

Exactly.
