Video - Collecting information

[willofjustice]

[Cue a small girl waving at the camera.] To anyone I haven't met yet, I'm Amelia -- nice to meet you!

I've been here for a couple of months now, but sometimes I feel like I've learned barely anything about why we're here or what happened . . . I know there have been other people here longer, and they've mentioned people who have been here even longer who know things.

So I thought . . . why doesn't someone try to collect all the information? New people are coming in all the time who have new ideas, and people who have been here longer might be able to put some pieces together if they just had other parts of the puzzle!

I don't know if this has been done before, but I'd like to try -- and keep trying to keep it updated. Then older people don't have to answer lots and lots of questions (sorry, Arthur-san!), and everyone can put their minds and skills to it.

So:

1. What have you learned about why we're here?
2. What kinds of roadblocks have you come up against?
3. What information have you learned in the library?
4. Is there anything else you think people should know?

If you'd like to be anonymous, that's okay! The information is the most important thing. We're all in this together, so we should all band together around this important cause and support each other as best we can!

Thank you!


((ooc: Didn't know if anything like this had been done before (I know there's an event log, but didn't see anything icly), but figured Amelia would be the type to give it a shot. ^^; For Justice.))

I've learned that we were brought here to fight something that is extremely powerful.

[Well, she's learned more than that, but she's not willing to share some of it with everyone on the network.]

Something extremely powerful?

Did you get any sense of what? And where did you find that?

1. To combat a threat, currently not present on Tu Vishan, that may or may not have caused the death of the other turtles and may or may not be inflicting the decay that is currently leading to rations.
2. The kedan are unwilling to talk, so are the Emperor and the Commander, and any books with knowledge about the threat no longer exist, presumably destroyed.
3. None so far.
4. The barrier around the turtle is probably for our - and the locals' - protection. Successfully breaking it before we know enough will probably end up badly for all.

Thank you very much!

On 1, Do you know anything about the threat? If it isn't here, how is it inflicting decay?

On 4, do you know this, or is this a theory?

1. Not enough information provided. And questions have been asked.

4. It is a conjecture, but after the way the barrier kept the jiangshi out for at least some duration, it is highly likely.

With the decay, it is possible that the barrier will be weakening, too.

I'm sorry to ask one more question, but what are the jiangshi?

And that's a really good point about the barrier . . . I wonder if anyone has tested it.

Jiangshi are the variety of zombies that attacked the city and everything living in it a few months ago, while the turtle was submerged. For days, the corpses could be seen swarming the barrier, until they finally broke through. They dropped from above, it didn't slow them down.

You do realize that proving it right might mean the immediate or slow destruction of everyone there, don't you?
