Digging Update:

Vault 1A and Aurora Settlement now on grid.

@ganymede Last time, Gany, newp! Also, true...I might stick with English then. Tis easier on me, too! Once the Toronto part of the game opens up, you'll be the first to know

Hey everyone. Tiny disclaimer!

I've began digging out the grid, and I just wanted people to know that we might not be using actual streets in Montreal (at least not in the settlement itself.) Just a disclaimer, I don't know French outside of Google Translate, so if my street names in use aren't correct, lemme know! I just wanted to make sure this didn't upset anyone. I know a location we're using, and I know that thanks to bombs, some things just might not exist anymore. I just wanted to toss this out just in case. Thanks!

EDIT: Also, I think I'll just keep Street Names and some Landmarks in French, while allowing other buildings and structures to be in English. Is this ok? Too confusing?

@insomnia Ahahahaha. That's gold.

You guys are awesome! Thank you for all the suggestions. @Ganymede I had actually JUST thought about using Feeling Good last night! Also, This Land Is Your Land (US or Canada version). Guess we'll see what plays on the grid wise radio channel? ^_^

@thenomain Nah, doesn't work for me. But you're true about the timeline wicky-woo.

EDIT: I'm now lost in the amazing that is Betty Hutton, though!

@thenomain https://youtu.be/acMqxcdxE0E ???

EDIT: Bah, nevermind. This is in 4 and I didn't realize >.<

@thenomain Give me a suggestion! I'm hunting for older ones, though!

@surreality AGREED!

@surreality @Thenomain What about "We've Only Just Begun" but The Carpenters?

@surreality This is brilliant.

@thenomain HMMMM not yet, but I'm sure we can dig one up! Any suggestions?

UPDATE!

The wiki is still getting an informational update/facelift, so please forgive any outdated information still there from our previous game. The wiki will be updated periodically and as soon as we work out how things will be going.

In other news, the Grid is being built!

I adore some good horror. Sign me up.

Some things that are examples are true, though, and it would not be used as something to mock someone else. People speak as they do because of where they're from. I think there's a difference between truth and umbrella perception. Either way, we're not specifically aiming to take on any culture what so ever with a blank, broad label. I was asking said friends because it wouldn't be fair for me to assume anything about a place I've never lived. Viewpoints would have also changed given the years, too. Regardless of what I'm offered, it might not even be used in the end.

I'm not sure Fallout itself is a good example of how not to stereotype, though. It has its share!

But yes, things are being considered during the creation of this game. We focus on setting, history, and the world around the players. We can't police how characters think or act on their own.

@misadventure @Valkyrie I have asked a couple of my Northern friends to point me in the direction of things that are purely Canadian. Shows, lingo and the like, that makes them, well, them. Another will be aiding me with the area itself with his knowledge, so I hope to make them proud in ways, and not a mockery. We also DO have the idea pumping about survivalist kicking about due to just being use to a harsher elements already.

There will also, however, be the tongue and cheek things and possibly some lil slips of Easter Eggs on grid as well, as Fallout is want to do. ^_^

We'll be keeping everything in mind!

PROGRESS UPDATE!

We have a shell server and wiki! They're not pretty yet, though. Updates and links to come!

Now the building begins!

@thatguythere It's not exactly sailed as just put on hold. We're busy with our golden goose that is our Fallout game, so Genosha isn't lost, it's just on the back-back burner. Should things flow well and there's extra time in our lives, we might do it as a side project anyway! At that time, I'll just post an advert and see what happens.

@auspice Thanks again! I wasn't sure who to pester about it. That, and I didn't like feeling as if I /was/ pestering >.<.

@thatguythere You are correct. However, the idea was to set it AFTER it was liberated and turned into an island for Mutants that is FREE of persecution. It was also going to deal with more Brotherhood based idealies.
