So long, Exsilium...

Exsilium’s final days are here, and there are choices to be made.

Along with manning the Transporter for its final deactivation, the AI will also provide coordinates for destruction of the most pertinent UE military bases. Destroying these will ensure that the UE doesn’t reconstruct its AI now that it’s been destroyed by the efforts of the Transports and the sacrifice of Angel, and that the UE will lose its cross-dimensional technology. No one wants to be followed home, after all, right?

These missions are volunteer-only, and will require fighters and planners alike to go smoothly. The missions themselves may be played out in the threads provided for them on the log, or you may handwave your character’s involvement as background info for the goodbyes portion of the log. The missions will be completed earlier in the week, on the 7th - 9th, and the final activation of the Transporter will occur on the 14th.

Now then… do you stay? Or do you go?

Those who stay will be needed to help rebuild the world. It will be reeling after the lost of its government. Citizens of the UE will begin to suffer extreme withdrawal symptoms after the loss of their placating drug, verstatsi, and the anti-addictive drug will need to be distributed to save lives — and that will be only the start of their troubles. Those who stay will have a long and difficult road ahead of them, and their help will be sorely needed.

Those who go, can go to anywhere they’d like. Any world that has ever been touched by the Transporter is able to be accessed, and that goes for any time ever touched by the Transporter as well. Characters need not return to the canon points they originally left, nor do they need to return to their original world at all. And when they go, they’ll have full memories of their time in Exsilium. Characters can even spend their last week visiting various worlds, but come March 14th, the world they’re in will be the world they stay in.

Choose wisely, Transports. The war is over, both sides have been brought low, and you’re free, for once, to do as you will.

The final log is here, and will be open for tagging for as long as anyone would like to keep tagging it, there's no intended date for closing it. Main community posts will be allowed until March 14th.

And as a final note, Tess commissioned a song for Exsilium from Alexander Rosetti. c: It’s a pretty friggin sweet one, and can be heard right here. Let’s have a themesong to play us off in our final log! Happy threading, and to players still with us and players who have joined us for any part of the ride, you have the profound gratitude of the entire mod team, past and current, for making this game such a fantastic and memorable place. Thank you for giving me the chance to tell stories with you guys… it’s been an unforgettable experience that I will always count among my favorite memories.

- Liz

Unscreened, and thank you for the idea!

I'M PROUD... GOD, FELLOW PLAYERS' WRITING MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL...

Since this is not easily visible (being months old), maybe a link on plurk is in order? I've also made a post about it on public timeline @Lengachan that could be replurked (if you are tired today, I see those twitching fingers). Though since the memoirs aren't in a very legible format on that page, maybe we would all benefit from the source code being copied out of the codeboxes first... on the other hand the names that mods attached to the pre-name-field files aren't publicly available. OH WELL, DATA IS LOST IN THE TIMESTREAM :'|

Replurked! And unfortunately I don't think I have the time to change the format (though I can unscreen the mod-added names where applicable), but if you're feeling ambitious, you'd be more than welcome to use the info there however you'd like to.

I AM FEELING VERY AMBITIOUS. I have a working draft here, with the currently unknown areas as numbered "Anonymous Submissions". How does it look to you?
thebutt: (dirk: fist bunp)

[personal profile] thebutt 2014-03-08 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... for ease of readability and differentiating between submissions, I might suggest each one in a comment to the entry itself. Otherwise, looks great to me! I can link to that entry on the main page of the submissions, if you like.

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-03-08 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I instead took the measure of underlining names and putting line breaks between submissions. How does it look now? If you're satisfied with the appearance feel free to link it on the main submission page!!!! I've also linked it in the plurk.

It looks great! I got it linked, and thank you. C:

AlllllllllllllRIGHT!!!!!!

Now that's done, I guess this is the time for a proper Lenga-to-Liz thank you. I'm so grateful for all the work you've done to keep this game going for so long. Throughout senior year of high school Exsilium was a sanctuary for me and I'm blessed to have been able to stay here this entire time, as well as incredibly flattered that you've welcomed my contributions with open arms. Our player-to-player interactions have been brief but all pleasant. Here's hoping our paths cross, whether in MOM or elsewhere.

aaaaa thank you. <3 It has been a serious delight to have you in game, Lenga! I've always appreciated how active and engaged you were with plot things, and I loved the ideas you added into the game overall. Newbie/veteran matchups, seriously, delightful. Thank you for everything, and I look forward to running into you in other spheres!
