Kyngdom, Last Time
Alrighty, guys, I know you're getting bored of planning, but can we keep it together just for a little longer? We're really close, but we need to agree on a basic plotline for the last ten years before we can really get going. There's a lot of people willing to rally around restarting Kyngdom (as you can see on the Kyngdom Headcount thread: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/542604) but many of them aren't going to do much without a complete plan. So! Things we need to decide on:
1. Are we using the storyline Scuttles put together (from a bunch of other people's ideas) or no? (This storyline can be found on the last page of the Kyngdom, Again thread. Here's the link: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/541807)
2. If not, what storyline are we using? If we are, is there anything we want to change or add to it?
3. Are we adding anything new, like new continents or new Powers? (all though the general consensus seems to be no new Powers, at least not until we've gotten a little more used to things)
4. If we are, what are those things?
5. Once we've decided on the storyline, do we want to write it up all fancy-official-story-like and ask the Admins to put it on the Kyngdom home page?
I propose we take a vote. Put in a comment with your answers to these four questions plus any other suggestions you may have.
And here's a little bit of useful information for those who don't want to read the entirety of the last two planning threads to understand what's going on:
- First of all, the Kyngdom website is a bit confusing. There's a guide to navigating the website itself on the second page of the Ultimate Guide to Kyngdom (here's the link to the Guide: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/404640) I also recommend reading the creation story of Kyndom (found on the first page of the Guide) even if you don't have time to read all of it as it explains a bunch of stuff (like what Powers are and who Catastrophe is).
- Second of all, here's the things we've decided on so far:
- We'll do a ten-year timeskip from where Kyngdom left off. So where we'll start RPing again happens ten years after Kyngdom ground to a halt.
- And, umm, that's about it. As far as I can recall, we haven't really settled on anything else for certain.
Okay, guys! Let's do this! (Fingers crossed the links work :D)

Ok, last leg of our journey! Here goes...
1/2. I think the plot line should be: a good SAP originated, BIG unlocked the powers, SOCS is interested in the powers now.
3. New continents would make it confusing, but we MUST have more powers.
4. Probably a power of HoofWing, a Pegasus. I am open to all other powers.
5. Yes, otherwise things would get very confusing.

Ah! At last! Let's wrap this up! Here's my votes:
1. Not to vote for the storyline I sorta made, but that's totally what I'm doing. Besides, it's not really mine and I didn't really make it. It's a bunch of ideas from a bunch of people and I tried to incorporate all of the ideas that people mentioned that everyone generally seemed to like, although I probably missed a few. I take credit for none of it, or at least no more credit than anyone else who contributed to that thread should get, but I suppose it is easiest to call it "mine" since it's much simpler than saying "the storylike
2. Of course, if we use we'll most likely make some changes to the final draft. There's also a few details that we would still need to work out, like which Powers would ally with the Resistance and which SAPs would ally with Catastrophe.
3. I think that until we're a little more used to roleplaying and kingdom we need to avoid big new things, like new continents and new Powers. Maybe once we've got some experience under our belt we can work on stuff like that.
4. n/a
5. Yes, absolutely.

Oops, I never finished my sentence in answer to question 1. I was in the middle of saying "I suppose it's easier to call it 'mine' than 'the storyline that Scuttles assembled from a bunch of other people's ideas'" I got interupted in the middle of typing. I also made a typo XD.

just wondering, has anyone made an official map of Kyngdom?
(April 27, 2023 - 5:56 pm)
Yes, they have. There have been four map fragments revealed by the admins, and multiple CBers have collaged them together into one map using Photoshop or something similar. There are multiple of these in the comments of the thread called 'FOURTH MAP FRAGMENT" on the Kyngdom homepage, but I like the one posted by Sybill on page 3 the best as it is relatively good quality and has further notations added by CBers about important locations. Here's the link to it:

thanks!

Here's my votes:
1. Yes.
2. Like Scuttles said, I know there's some smaller details we need to work out before it'll be complete, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
3. I'd vote for no big new things until we're a little more settled in.
4. N/A
5. Yes.
(April 28, 2023 - 9:16 am)
Ahhh I have not been doing Kyngdom lately.
1. Uh, sure.
2. I was thinking we'd use Nobyls. But Poinsettia and Scuttles already suggested that. I'm just agreeing.
3. Okay.
4. No. New. Powers. Maybe we'd add an SAP or two, now. And maybe a continent in the future. But we might want to save that until we've gotten settled in Kyngdom.
5. Sure. I'd be fine with writing it if we can wait until mid-May or later. But I'll be quite busy until then. Also I am not the best writer so it wouldn't be the best backstory.
(April 28, 2023 - 10:57 am)
1. I guess so! I think the Nobyls should still have a lot of control, though, if that's okay, especially since that'll make the Nobyl RP more interesting. I like Zealatom's ideas too, which I think were on page 2 of the Kyngdom, Again, thread.
2. Aside from the rough ideas Scuttles and Zealatom and I and everyone else have put forward, I think we should just let the story develop as we go along, without worrying too much about the storyline :)
3. I'd say no new powers, but maybe a new island could be introduced, like cherie suggested?
5. Idk if we need to write up the full storyline - maybe just the most important points, like the timeskip.
