Time for a Vote! We've got some planet ideas below for our first stop. We're going to be doing this by ranked choice voting. Let us know in the comment thread below what your preference is using the provided form! Please see Venidelosia's brief descriptions of potential planets to visit as your first investigative stop


A Watery Adventure

Knowing that the Agrii are evolved in some highly aquatic environment, Venidelosia puts forth a relatively nearby star system she is aware of that her records indicate to be a planet with a high percentage of surface oceans. Her records on the planet are damaged, but they indicate that the Agrii's ancestors may have been collected relatively near this system. She is aware of there being floating cities, which may be useful for gathering information.

What she cannot tell you but is relevant for your OOC decision making is that here there be pirates! Join us on a swashbuckling adventure with this watery planet!

An Abandoned Planet

Venidelosia suggests this planet that is further out and in a different direction due to the fact that it is recorded as being a research facility that she was previously assigned to when she was not yet aware. She has no records of what the planet itself is like, or if the planet is suitable to landing on. What she knows is that there are suggestions in her files that there may be a repository of information from her original builders at the location. What could that mean? It's up to you to investigate!

What she cannot tell you but is relevant for your OOC decision making is that this is a dead and haunted world. If you'd like your spookiness to come early this year join us in investigating what haunts an old research base.

A Warring Landscape

One other vein of investigation that Venidelosia suggests as a path forward is investigating what she has been told of the Warrens area. The metal there is far too durable for her to understand, but she thinks she might have a lead on the source of it. Perhaps that will help uncover more secrets? This is the furthest of the journeys and she knows little of what the He Rows will find here, other than what might be the source of a useful resource in a metal so durable it has a hard time being cut by aught but itself. Will you set forth to try and gather some yourself? And just what leads to it being so strong?

What she cannot tell you but is relevant for your OOC decision making is that the surface of this planet is at war: a Mecha war. Venture down to the surface, discover the source of the metal, and join up with one companion in a mind and memory sharing experience as you learn secrets about each other and possibly about Agra-10 that might never imagined. All while possibly co-piloting your own Mech!

Please vote by April 28th, 2025. We want to make sure have lots of time to build up lots of extra details and fun for you!

Alright players! We're officially opening the call for places you might enjoy visiting in space. What sort of planet ideas might you have? Anything from very general ideas (a planet where they can only visit the dark side) to more specific (a habitable planet with a great city built over a glittering late), to even more detailed. Please let us know!


We take any amount of suggestion you might have to throw at us. More details or even suggestions of what sorts of adventures you want to go on are all welcome. Help us make the best adventures, now and in the future, that we can!

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.

SPRING TEST DRIVE MEME
Application FAQ | Taken Characters | Reserves | Application


This game is a spin-off from the closed The Drift Fleet game. For more information about the game, including more details on the setting, please check out the FAQ here or the premise here.

A thread on the TDM will be required for all applications. Please view the FAQ for information about how this works. Any questions about the game please direct to the comment section of the FAQ as well.

If you are a Drift Fleet alumni bringing your character from the game, please label your character as 'DFAU' on your top level. Also, keep in mind you have complete flexibility on how your character comes here. They could be taken before endgame, after endgame, two years after, one year before, etc. It's up to you! If you want to completely restart your character, they're not considered DFAU anymore and won't need the label.

So go! Explore Agra 10! And, as always, HAVE FUN!

Thank you all for your patience, and for weighing in during the last post. Players have definitely given us a lot to work with regarding what you think the future path of the game should be, and we feel like a lot of your general opinions have already been shared in a way that helped us refine this poll. Refine it enough that we've actually changed the general shape of the questions.

Below you will find two threads for you to respond to: one OOC, one IC. Players are asked to vote in both. Please comment once in OOC to express your feelings about the options offered there. For the IC poll you may either vote separately with each character account or once for all characters. If you are doing the latter, please provide a small summary of each response if you are choosing to go the extra mile to explain your reasoning.

All responses are screened. All current players (hiatus or otherwise) are encouraged to vote. At the moment this poll is aimed to end on March 14th. If more time is needed an extension will be made and an announcement tied to it. Votes can be changed at any time during the process by editing your original comment.


Thank you for voting and for all the wonderful fun and engagement you bring to our community.

A Time of Parting
Like a relationship status with an on-again off-again significant other one could easily describe the situation with the Agrii in two words: ‘it’s complicated’. Which of course serves no one as well as it should. The Orange-Faction is still angry, Mu Ly still seems on a tightly held leash, the other leaders still seem at a loss for understanding, and Ny Ak remains in their comatose state. Even meeting with He Rows on the ‘neutral ground’ of one of the He Row ships only manages to reach one consistently agreed upon point with the Agrii.

It is time for the He Rows to leave.
