The truth about the whole matter? It's DEFINITELY fragged up now.
It's been about a month and a half, game time, since Chicago went it
way. We learned about it 2 weeks late, admittedly, but in the mean time I'm
going for quick fixes. In other words, let's get the world back on track NOW>
If you want something else, try this. Chicago goes down on the 20th,
on the fragging dot. In other words, you can plan now, and my plot will even
be enhanced a slight amount. Everything will be immediate. The nuke will go
off on the 25th. Everyone's going to have to deal with it, and it'll be
2 months late.
This list is made for everyone, and it's also meant to be directly on
FASA schedule. We've discussed that before. If we mess up events too much,
people won't recognize it when they come in for the first time.
I personally find this as a perfect example of the Shadowrun world.
SOmething uncontrollable happened, and it screwed everyone up. It probably
screwed Dante up with the rest. But it's all fixable.
The point of the world is adapting, and that's what we're doing.
In the mean time, you're giving the game world a "go away". That's
bad. Several other people are already there for my adventure, and while I
don't want to be selfish, my thing is also probably not going to be world-
affecting. So it won't hurt anyone else. Except in as much as FASA itself did.
*sigh*
