Resurgence Part III

[STAFF]

Welcome to Resurgence Part III.

Unlike parts I and II, this part started with only a few individuals. These are the ones that Christian Moynahan initially told about the famine. Oh, you didn't hear about the famine? That's because no one told the American public about it.

Well, it's a long story, but Christian got arrested and put on trial for doing that. Initially, he was going to go along with the government's and most of his friends' advice and keep the famine a secret while all of them sneaked food into the country to make up for all that was lost. But, you know, getting arrested for saving the country has a way of changing a man's mind, and Christian changed his mind, government be damned.

Christian just blew the lid off the whole thing here.

It's a long thread, over 2,000 words, but worth reading. But the gist of is that yes, there was a famine; yes, Christian and his associates (who he refused to name for fear of them also being arrested) saved the country from said famine; and no, the government did not tell anyone about it.

If you figured people would riot about that, you're right.

This is a thread for everyone to post their characters' experiences with the riot. Currently, it is not mandatory; it's just a good idea to chronicle your characters' experiences, as they will be important later. This is kinda like the mega-thread we had for the three-month "power outage." Your posts don't have to be long or anything, it's just a way of being creative.

Please don't make me make it mandatory.

By the way, I sent you all a little New Year's gift. Check the lower left hand of the screen. Prospero año and such!

Um, also, anyone playing precogs or other future-seeing characters have lost their abilites as of 20 Oct 13 or so. I'll explain why this is later and I'll tell you once they get their abilities back.

If they have secondary abilities that aren't directly related to seeing the future, those abilities are fine. (Example: Gabe can't see the future, but he can track people just fine.)

Warning.

Anyone who wants to post in the famine/riot thread has got to do so now.

I have two more Christian posts. One will be filler. The second will close the thread to invite-only; if I do not come to you (or have not come to you) about being able to post beyond that point, the thread will be closed to you. This is, of course, for plot reasons. If you do choose to post after I have set the thread to invite-only, your post will be removed and saved elsewhere.

I'm sure you're tired of seeing Christian everywhere; there's a plot reason for that. (Trust me, he hates being everywhere.) Following this thread, you'll see less of him and more of some different characters.

As for now, if you aren't part of the thread following the invite-only (or even if you are), sit back and watch the fireworks.

I've seen nothing but excellent posts in the thread so far. Keep it up, guys!

Attention!

Division, the riot thread, is now invite-only.

As I mentioned, everyone did exceptional work in showing how their characters fared in the riots, and how many of them helped (or hindered) the efforts to end them. I'm glad to see everyone pulling together to make the thread. Some players missed the window of opportunity, but you could always make separate threads about how they got through it (while making sure to check with Division first).

However, as of this post, the thread is invite-only. You should have gotten an invitation from me in some form already. If you have a really good reason why your character should be there, shoot me a message.

Whatever the case may be, you should definitely keep track of the thread. It will have site-plot consequences. There will be a quiz.
