If Heist was such a nightmare for Prisha, why have him remember it? It will just bring about more bitching.

[up][up][up] If he forgets Heist, then he's back to square 1. He will have learned nothing.

That's why he won't remember it much at all. But he'll still get a sense of familiarity.

Help?.. please...

As long as he only remembers some shit went down. Letting him remember details about specific characters could get messy.

He'll have a bad feeling about some people that's all. But hey who doesn't he have a bad feeling about?

That's the shit I'm talking about. Give him a chance to start fresh and actualy make some allies and not enemies for once.

This is different. They're stuck on an island. Not rounded up by Kobayashi. You'll see.

His (?) point is that it would probably be better (for everyone) to make a completely clean start, free of all the baggage that came with Heist. Having any sort of lingering continuity with it just does not seem like a good idea.

(Okay, now I really am gone)

Here's the problem with Lafayette:

He will not have the same response as a normal person stuck on a deserted island. As long as he can get food and water, he's not really going to care, no matter the mindfuckery. I don't know if this would be interesting and add variety and help with others' character development or if this would just be completely obnoxious and get me kicked out.

I don't mind, as long as you pointed it out beforehand. But then again, what I say don't mean much.

You know, you can play this inability to feel urgency as a flaw too right?

It's definitely a flaw within the story.

Or, perhaps not a flaw. Just something that a lot of other characters project onto, in which case it may be seen as a flaw.

Well I guess after Heist!Prisha people won't really feel like getting mad at any other characters for a while.

As the author of the canonical resolution to Heist, I want it known that it was not all a dream, so there. tongue

I think I'd like to abandon continuity between these threads altogether. For one thing, adhering to that means that one of my characters is permanently dead.

Others are free to do as they wish, but I don't think turning these threads into a continuity snarl is a great idea.

Yeah, I'm going to continue doing what I did before and having characters not remember the events of the CDTs.

Didn't we make a Continuity Nod somewhere in Heist as well? I didn't know how these threads ever became a continuity. But I wanted to cut the link between island and any other threads out there. If Heist never happened, where island took place, then the same goes with any thread people have build continuity over. It's already a dream for CantinaII!Prisha anyway. Even though that didn't last long.

Anyway, are we going to have a Man in Black Expy in Island? Anyone want them to become their character's dad?

Oh, I forgot I did a Continuity Nod there. tongue

I'm not sure whatever I should keep it or not (I'm thinking of someone coming over to the Cantina around closing time), but it's your guys choice.

#4519: Sep 24th 2011 at 6:38:56 AM

No, I wanted to cut any continuity between these threads. Which is why I wanted people to know that according to future threads, Heist never happened. Meaning that any continuity it's built with Cantina, Titanic or Castle never happened either. We don't want to end with a Continuity Creep where newcomers are in Continuity Lock-Out.

I do not; my character already has a dad.

Changing a character's backstory for the purpose of a thread seems counterproductive, for the same reason that mugglifying the characters and continuity creep are counterproductive. Let the characters be the characters, and let the setting be the setting. I don't think the two need to be integrated into one another.

But Bianca, William, and Cyrus are sitting with Bryan right now (which I should address this afternoon, after acting class). We'll probably go with the "does not remember each other" route.

No.

I asked which of my characters needed more work.

And you said Bryan.

Oops. I thought you said "which one of your (or our) characters needed work."
