Poll Results

With all votes accounted for, let's talk about the general shape of the results. Provided Mod Churby doesn't come down with some horrid illness before finishing revisions, you'll have a post going up later today or early tomorrow.

Results Discussion


Players were torn on whether to head into space to find where the Agrii come from, or to attempt that while also trying to let the Agrii try out living on the planet surface as well. There was an even split with one clearly stated abstention.

To make the final decision we decided to look to the IC results, to see where characters might have differing opinions. When we looked at the voting habits of characters (and just did an 'averaging' of a vote from players with multiple characters), most operated under the decision that the Agrii should be given a chance to try the surface, provided the plantkin agree.

Given this we have decided to take the route of OOC option 3: space exploration but with attempts to make Agra-10 suitable for the Agrii just in case. Given the push of many players for 'space is fun' we will weigh more heavily toward space adventures, returning to the planet every few months to do more work, check in on the Agrii, and complete quests/work there. These planetary months will be part 'player created event' time, and part 'here are some side quests for you to get up to, and some problems to solve with the whole project'.

Hopefully this creates the best of both worlds and will still give you hooks in the 'off' months to get caught up in.

Finally, characters were rather torn between telling the Agrii all of the truth and some of the truth. As such the decision is that we will be going with for now is that the full truth will be told to the leaders of the Agrii and have their opinion weighed before proceeding. This of course does not prevent characters from dropping the secrets anyway, but it will be assumed those are held in reserve for a few days.

More will be shared in the event post later today.

Thank you for helping us shape the game going forth. A new version of our calendar will be created in the coming days to let you know when we anticipate space exploration months versus planetary work months. We would encourage players to let us know what kinds of worlds they would like to see, though as a note we will not be returning to any previously explored canon-based systems. Use the comments below to offer suggestions. But assume we know nothing about the setting. If there isn't a hefty bit of information line (like fanwikis), it will be harder for us to adapt and make use of a setting. Also, there will be no direct Earth uses, though if there are concepts based on Earth you like, we might be able to get away with adapting some concepts to other worlds/settings.


One more thank you to our players for being so great and sticking with us so long. We hope you enjoy Phase 3 of The Revival Project as we move more into space and uncovering the last lingering secrets on this journey.

I don't actually care about canon-based systems, and it seems to be the way you're leaning so maybe this is a useless comment
but since you asked, I am excited to explore some just weird alien places that we get to make up, things like a Pirate World But There's Also Robots, or Fast And the Furious: Dinosaurs, or a like microverse Everything Else is Really Big (we are tiny and live like mice and drink out of thimbles).

Seconding this actually. I don't mind "similar to canon" worlds but I tend not to get as interested in exact replicas of one canon or another.

Of course! I realize whole-cloth world building for every event is a big ask, I was kind of assuming anyone who voted for space exploration was down for Player Plotting these sort of things. I am, at least.
