The Zuma

[Indirik]

Nah, doesn't concern the less civilized people of Dwilight.

Translation: "We have no friggin' clue..."

No, translation: I don't speak of things that revolve around GM factions on the forums.

[Indirik]

My bet is still on "We have no idea."

[Chenier]

Ask people down South IG and you'll find out if your bet is correct or not.

Except some people are primarily curious OOC and don't really care that much IC.  Elsebeth is mildly intrigued but has never spoken to anyone on that side of the world and isn't sure this is reason to start.  Thomas the player behind Elsebeth, on the other hand, is really dying to know for OOC amusement.

Instant gratification versus delayed gratification?

Then write an OOC private letter?

Hint: look at the map.

Pity, since it is a big difference for Dwilight, one that if expounded on further OOC may encourage people that don't have a character on the island to consider playing there, you know people that have little or no IC way to get the info, people whom could add to the nobles under the Moot.

I don't buy this. I don't see how knowing what motivated the Zuma would increase attrativity in a significant way compared to just knowing they are acting up. If you know everything that happens, then you don't have any reason to go find out anymore.

As for those already on Dwi, many chose to live far, far away from the Zuma. If they want to know more, they could always just move and settle closer.

Edit: and anyone who joins just because of the Zuma is bound to be seriously disappointed.

This.

The Zuma alternate between phenomenal irrelevancy and boringness, and annoyingly  Invasion-esque superpoweredness and incomprehensibility, on a continent where that kind of play doesn't make sense.

Most certainly true, but then Terran and Barca have good track records of maintaining players, so IF you can get them by means of the Zuma, I'm sure you can overcome their disappointment and retain them. After all once they arrive won't they instantly become aware of just how awesome your realms are and finally realise just what BM fun they have been missing?

Maybe, except the chances of us attracting some kind of daimon-hunting Van Helsing with a Beluaterra-shaped chip on his shoulder is somewhat bigger. And we have a strict "No suicidal !@#$%^&s" policy.

Oh, hi Koli. Didn't see you there.... uhh.... how's... life?

Now, now...Mildly annoying, sure.  !@#$%^& is going a bit far.

Note how I carefully avoid commenting on the "suicidal" part.

It is only suicidal if your intent is to die

Now if you intend to succeed against all odds, that is just ambition.
