I have tried several times to vote for Survivors of an Event, but it doesn't take. It may have recorded my vote for Modern, but I can't be sure that it's not displaying some other players vote, lol.

Hmm. It looks like it only takes one response. It registered Modern for me, but not Survivors same as Moonbeam. But you know my prefs. :) I'm good with either the big group or two small ones, but logisitically two smaller ones might be easier to keep cohesive and have a shared goal. 6 is a lot of cooks working on the soup in a shared kitchen. (Please don't ask me to try to explain that metaphor.)

OOC:
I think we're actually 7 players ?
Anyway, if we're going for 2 groups, I would suggest to simply list each players to every setting that appealed the most to them, and then take the two that would please as much people as possible.

I have that written down but I've never done the poll option here. Turns out theres a reason.

The City
30's(Spain/USA) - Rattila, Aldrusian, ctme2000
Cold War~50's(Russia/USA) - Rattila, Aldrusian
Modern - GreyGriffin, Aldrusian, KaeJae, Moonbeam, ctme2000

Crew
Casual detectives - Rattila, ctme2000
Conspiracy - Rattila, ctme2000
Survivors - Moonbeam, KaeJae, ctme2000, GreyGriffin

Let me know if I got any of those wrong.

@Rattila yes there are 7 in the game but cdwjava hasnt posted anything but 'I'll post tomorrow.' And that was 2 days ago. As of now there are 6. When/if more join will move from that point.

I don't consider 6 as too many cooks. Here's another way to explain the metaphor. I was the purchasing member of a team that was designing a new piece of equipment for electronic testing. Designs of that nature usually take months to complete but every couple of months the bosses switched out engineers so the lead time took twice as long since each engineer thought they had a better idea and we'd have to start over. Using the cooks in that manner, each cook would want to add their own ingredients to the soup and it ends up tasting terrible. I don't think that really applies here if we have a strong enough GM. From what little I know about Apexwolf, I don't think that will be a problem.

I also voted for Survivors as well as Modern day but the vote for survivors was done first. I assume it picked up Modern but it didn't pick up Survivors. Guess Apex will have to do it the hard way.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Aldrusian. Looks like the hard way is how we will do it. Was hoping the poll thing would work better.
From what has been mentioned it looks like Modern serting with the group survivors of an event. We will head forward with you 6. Anyone else that joins will be the second group. That work with everyone?

Sounds good to me!
Nov 27, 2020 10:33 am
I'm good with that !

Hit me!

I was even split on Modern and Neon Noir.
Nov 28, 2020 5:11 am
I've never heard of Neon Noir but I can imagine what it might be like. The dark of night with a fog and some drizzle but set in the 1980's, maybe in Las Vegas. But let's go modern. Less we have to think about. It could still end up being noir.

Hi all. Modern Survivor works for me, I have a great concept that fits both that I hope will work when I try to realize it. :)
