Regarding the Lunarians, they live in a sanctuary much like Gensokyo. As I said in the beginning (and this will hopefully be revealed soon at the meeting at Amarillo's), all the sanctuaries in the world (Shangrila, Avalon, Tir a Nog, etc.) have similarly collapsed. Gensokyo was perhaps the last to do so. Thus the Lunarians too found themselves in a rapidly imploding cocoon. Whether or not their technology saved them is another issue entirely.
I must apologize again - I'll be really busy for the next week at the very least, perhaps for a good 4 weeks at worst. Exam season is upon me, finally. I'll be able to come in for half-an-hour a day at best to answer any questions. If you PM them to me, you'll most likely get a reply. I may or may not have time to sift through the entire discussion thread. I will most likely not have time to go through all the story posts if we continue at the high rate of fire we've been going at. I definitely didn't expect things to develop this fast and it was again a product of poor planning on my part.
Worry not though, I've asked two people, our future global mods for Gensokyo-Online, Xan and TranceHime, to help co-GM for a while. However, if it turns out they're busy as well, I'll ask for volunteers to help co-GM.
When I'm properly finished with everything (around the 24th of May) I'll finish up Project Gensokyo-Online, the touhou text RPG forum I've been working on for a while now. Those of you who caught the old thread in the previous MotK would know more or less what it's all about. I'm thinking of moving this RPG there where we'll have the freedom to organize things better, I think. We'll also free the moderators here of our irksome threads. So you're all invited to join us there once it's open.
A bit of info for Gensokyo-Online, in case you didn't catch the old thread, the RPG system is similar to this, freeform with lots of freedom, but a whole lot better organized and regulated (as I said before, I didn't organize this RPG as well as I normally do). You can either roleplay canon characters or original characters and there'll be many plots running at the same time, everything from epic action/adventure plots to smaller slice-of-life and romance plots. You also have the freedom to suggest your own plots and GM them yourselves. There'll also be an alternate universe section and I suppose this RPG will be the first entry there.
Oh, and as I mentioned before, Xan and TranceHime will be the first probationary global mods there, chosen based on recommendations from other members.
So, sorry once more. I had suggested this RPG as a spur of the moment thing (thanks to that 'w'-word thread) and I never really thought about my schedule at the time. I hope you all can keep this rolling and continue having fun. As I said, I'll be available for questions. Just PM them to me. If you need story directions you can decide that amongst yourselves (discuss here or use the IRC channel), ask the co-GMs, or PM me (You'll have to give me a quick summary while you're at it).
If and when we move this RPG to the new forum, do you all want to just continue it? Or shall we reset it, post new stuff and repost old stuff from this version as we go along? Most of us will have plenty of time over summer break so I think it'd be possible. If we do the latter, I'll be able to properly organize and plan everything this time. Thoughts? Discuss.
