How's it goin', everybody? Y'all kickin' back? Havin' a nice apocalypse? Awesome... Hey, you! Get your feet off the pool table. Just had it refurbished.
Alright, then, let's get down to business. So, I've been hangin' out watching you guys do your thing. And it's cool. Seems like everyone's excited. But, here's the thing. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but everyone in the world can't end up in Dean Winchester's camp. Sure, I understand why you'd all want to bunk in with him. Hey, he's popular, he's cool - has a whole James Dean meets John Wayne thing goin' on. Could use a cooler haircut, but I ain't one to judge. Anyway, I like the guy. I'm sure a bunch of you do, too. And I'm sure if the man could manage it he'd love to let you all chill in his camp so you don't get eaten by croats.
... or maybe he'd fire some rocksalt in your leg or somethin'. The guy's a little touchy these days.
Anyway, the point is, even though Dean's the man and his camp's pretty cool, it just doesn't make sense for everyone who's ever so much as heard of Dean to wind up a part of the Chitaqua family. So, unfortunately, not all of you who are applying to be in Dean's camp are gonna make it in. This might be disappointing to some of you, but there's more to this world than Camp Chitaqua. If you don't get an immediate spot in the camp, we'll let you know in a PM and explain why and let you know what your options are.
The good news is, Dean's not the only one with a camp. Jo and Ellen have a camp, and they're pretty badass if I do say so myself. Then there's an island off the coast of Maine that's sort of a safe haven, as long as the guy running it decides you're not there to destroy the place. It's a self-sustaining little community and it mainly functions as a pit stop or a medical center. Kind of a crude one, but you know. The intention's there. Then there's a research facility out in California that used to be a university or something. There's cool stuff going on there all the time. People are trying to find a cure for the Croatoan virus, more effective ways to kill stuff, and they have a big ass library. So, if research is your thing that might be a good place to check out. I'm pretty sure Bobby's hard at work building himself a camp too, so keep an eye out for him.
For you evil types, or those of you who are just plain desperate, Lucifer's always lookin' for some new assistants over in Detroit. His staff has kind of a... high turnover rate. But, don't worry. I'm sure you'll be fine. Just don't piss him off or try to off him. At the very least if he thinks you're entertaining he might keep you around just for kicks. The city of Las Vegas is also total demon territory - run by demons for demons. So if you're lookin' to have a little fun and cause a little mayhem, that might be your kind of place.
And don't forget there are plenty of places left in the world that haven't gone to hell in a handbasket yet.
If none of these options seem right for you, you can also build your own camp. What, you think the canons and the evil sons o' bitches are the only ones allowed to have a little slice of the world? If you want to make your own settlement, talk to your friends and see if they want in. The only thing is, there have to be at least three people who are a part of the camp before it gets an official spot in the Survivor Communities. Otherwise it's just one or two guys standin' around hoping they don't get noticed. If you can't find other people who are interested just yet, you can still establish a camp for yourself in your application. You'll just have to post generically in the Survivor Communites board until your camp expands.
So that's it. A few things to keep in mind before you get the wrong idea...
- This is not a punishment. If we'd wanted to just play everyone hanging out in Dean's camp, we wouldn't need 90% of the plots and locations we came up with... which we think are pretty cool, and we hope you do too.
- The people who will get a spot in Chitaqua right off the bat will be people who have enough of a pre-established history with Dean to be there. If you did one hunt with him five years ago, how plausible is it that he'd hand you a spot in his camp?
- Just because you don't get a guaranteed spot in Chitaqua from the get-go, that doesn't mean you can't RP your way into it later. We're not trying to exclude anyone by any means. We just want to broaden the RP and not overload any one place.
- Please do not scramble to try to work out a more in depth history with Dean if you don't already have one. That's kind of rude and kind of unfair to Dean.
- Don't worry! Everything will work out fine, we promise.
If you have any questions or concerns, PM Jo or Ruby and they'll help you out.
Stay standin', ladies and gents.
