Peace in Our Times

[Malaclypse 666]

Um.. have the janitors gone home yet?

I bumped this to make a short.. (for me, heh) observation: (I just read the entire thread again for enjoyment.)

The Peace talks "failed" in one sense. The storyline is fixed. It should probably remain so for a time; both from the standpoint of our roleplaying, and the constraints of the game's history as currently "written". The cases for why it would fail, RP-wise, were made passionately, but completely in character. (So passionately, that I was fumin' at ol' Nightfall for awhile.. we even mussed each other's hair a bit in PM's).

But in another, even better sense, they "succeeded". They helped to revive a flagging participation by the community, which seemed for various reasons to be teetering on the brink. They helped to point out that an idea by an inspired individual can inspire the rest of those in proximity to participate. And, to show and encourage others how to create and promote events and story lines which engross and involve us all.

Well done, Discovery! And well done to our host, Harlequinn. She came holding nothing but a Rose of Peace, and left, having unwittingly planted and nurtured an entire new garden of hope. At least, for me.

Perhaps she'll invite us back someday.

"Mal"
