[catenarypyre]

-- catenaryPyre [CP] has opened the memo "GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE NOW." --

CP: ☥he good news ☥hus far is ☥ha☥ we've begun ☥he game as scheduled and Bea☥ix is safe.
CP: However, ☥he res☥ of us being safe is deba☥able a☥ bes☥ and I need all of you ☥o look ou☥side righ☥ now and check on ☥he sky.
CP: I☥ seems ☥here's more ☥o ☥his game ☥han any of us could have possibly an☥icipa☥ed. As we speak, ☥here are me☥eors raining down on our plane☥.
CP: When we s☥ar☥ed, we se☥ off a coun☥down and ☥he lower i☥ go☥ ☥he closer a me☥eor go☥ ☥o Bea☥ix's hive.
CP: As we speak, ☥he fields around my own hive have already been se☥ in flames from a me☥eor s☥rike a few miles ou☥.
CP: None of us are safe from ☥his even if we s☥op now, our only hope is ☥o con☥inue on and ge☥ each o☥her inside ☥he game as soon as possible.
CP: Yes. "Inside" is wha☥ I jus☥ ☥yped.
CP: Bea☥ix's hive is no longer where i☥ s☥ood. I☥ was ☥ranspor☥ed ☥o ano☥her loca☥ion ☥hanks ☥o a game cons☥ruc☥, and ☥herefore saved her from ☥he impending impac☥.
CP: Everyone should be ge☥☥ing your asses in gear and be readying ☥o s☥ar☥ downloading ☥he clien☥ and server files.
CP: I've made a chain lis☥ of server ☥o clien☥ players ☥o keep ☥his easier on everyone and as of righ☥ now I don'☥ wan☥ ☥o hear a single god damned complain☥ from any of you abou☥ ☥he way i☥'s se☥ up.
CP: We don'☥ have ☥ime ☥o be picky righ☥ now, ☥his is life or dea☥h for all of us and we have ☥o ge☥ ☥he fuck ou☥ of here before i☥'s ☥oo la☥e.
CP: If you don'☥ have ☥he ☥rollian handle of your server/clien☥, ge☥ i☥. I☥'s no☥ ☥ha☥ hard, we were all dragged in☥o ☥his ☥oge☥her. If you can'☥ find ou☥, ask Adelle.
CP: Here's how i☥'s going ☥o go, Server --> Clien☥, no complain☥s:
CP: Kanabo --> Myself, Papyaa --> Kanabo, Ciphoz --> Papyaa, Averil --> Ciphoz, Li☥hos --> Averil, Prome☥ --> Li☥hos, Sciaph --> Prome☥, Lyn --> Sciaph, Adelle --> Lyn, Menkar --> Adelle and finally Bea☥ix --> Menkar
CP: Ge☥ in con☥ac☥ wi☥h each o☥her, ge☥ a move on.
CP: We don'☥ have any ☥ime ☥o was☥e.

You don't blame Lyn for being skeptical. If you hadn't seen this all yourself, you wouldn't have believed it either. But now more than ever you're glad you convinced him to stay and play the game with the rest of you. You don't know what you would do if you lost one of the only friends you have.

Though, that's still a very real danger if everyone doesn't get to safety in time.

Tha☥'s some☥hing we can dwell on ☥he physics of la☥er.
As of righ☥ now, i☥'s our only chance for survival and i☥'s wha☥ saved Bea☥ix from ☥he me☥eor ☥ha☥ decima☥ed where her hive used ☥o be.
You'll s☥ar☥ ☥o unders☥and be☥☥er once you have ☥he server and clien☥ files fully downloaded and connec☥ed.

[artful_transgressor]

im already downloading em
i mean what the fuck do i stand to lose if it doesnt work
apparently the meteors are coming whether or not i fucking try it

so on a scale of one to find a fallout shelter
how fucked am i to be so low down on the list
like unless im reading this wrong im third to last to get in right
and you dont know how long any of us haVe?

[catenarypyre]

There's ☥hree main devices ☥ha☥ your server player will have ☥o deploy somewhere abou☥ your hive.
The Crux☥ruder, To☥em La☥he and ☥he Alchemi☥er. Once you open ☥he Crux☥ruder, you'll have your own coun☥down s☥ar☥ ☥ha☥'ll ☥ell you exac☥ly how much ☥ime you have un☥il impac☥.
We didn'☥ know wha☥ ☥he coun☥down was for a☥ firs☥ un☥il Bea☥ix discovered ☥he me☥eor and we calcula☥ed ☥ha☥ i☥'s es☥ima☥ed impac☥ ma☥ched ☥he coun☥down on ☥he Crux☥ruder.
So long as everyone ge☥s ☥his done in a ☥imely manner, we should all be able ☥o ge☥ in before i☥'s ☥oo la☥e.

[artful_transgressor]

so
all the meteors hitting now
theyre aimed at other players?
also what happens if someone on the list doesnt make it in
what happens to the people after them

[catenarypyre]

No☥ all of ☥hem.
The bigger ones migh☥ be, bu☥ I had one land somewhere ou☥ in ☥he fields.
Thus ☥he raging fire almos☥ engulfing my hive a☥ ☥he momen☥.
And ☥here is no wha☥ if's allowed here.
We're all going ☥o make i☥ in and ☥ha☥'s fucking final.

[artful_transgressor]

so youre saying
meteors can hit anywhere
at any time
and theres no contingency plan for if say
eVerything starts to go to shit the longer we go and someone dies
so that eVeryone after them will die too cause no one will know what to fucking do?
at least add something like
if someone dies then the order jumps down to the next person in line whos still aliVe
since it sounds like the longer youre stuck on alternia the higher the odds that you could get fucked up

You're saying this as much for your own sake as Adelle's. Oh, yes, there's a good chance you'll die, but who's to say you'd be the first in the order to go?

[catenarypyre]

You know that this is a very real possibility, but at the moment you're not allowing yourself to think of such things. There's no room for failures in your mind.

If by some chance some☥hing goes wrong ☥hen yes, ☥he chain will con☥inue on wi☥h skipping over ☥hem.
Bu☥ I am no☥ allowing for ☥ha☥ failure and I have fai☥h in mos☥ everyone ☥o ge☥ ☥heir asses in gear.
You're no☥ allowed ☥o die Lyn.
And nei☥her is everyone else in ☥his god forsaken game we've s☥ar☥ed.

[artful_transgressor]

when it comes to the meteor apocalypse
i dont think whether or not i liVe is up to me anymore
