HIRUNE: Make some plans.

[austereastronomer]

-- CURRENT austereAstronomer [AA] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board Team planning, welcome to new players --

AA: If you're reading this memo, that means you have been invited to play a game called "Scrib."
AA: I will warn you right now that there is a great deal of inherent danger in proceeding with this path.
AA: You will almost certainly need to fight for your life immediately.
AA: But unlike meteors, the challenges this game presents can be fought and overcome.
AA: If you think you are not up to it, this is a good time to back out. Once you enter the game, there is no turning back.
AA: But if you still want to play, we're going to need to do some planning.
AA: Who do we have on board?

Bec4use we only get... only life, right? Yes!
4 g4me with one... life is ch4llenging, but... it's not impossible, no!
I'm in for the... ch4llenge, I think, yes!

[austereastronomer]

Yes, you are correct, and that is good to hear, Avispa.
It seems that there are a great deal of puzzles that are a part of this game,
So I believe those parts will play to your strengths very nicely.

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh oh oh oh.
This is 4 te4m... g4me right, m4ybe, yes?
So I c4n help... with puzzles th4t 4ren't... mine, I hope, yes?
You're 4lso in the... g4me, I hope, yes?

[austereastronomer]

Yes, you certainly could.
And yes, I am also playing the game.
I and several others have already started.

There 4re so m4ny... possible unknown solutions, yes!

[defensivealchemist]

id rather fight little white she11 people than meteor5
youre in on thi5 too?

[austereastronomer]

That was my own thought as well.
I have been a part of this since near the beginning,
Although only recently the de-facto post of organizer has fallen to me.

[mapmaking]

so whaT happened To The fIrsT organIzer--x?

[defensivealchemist]

ha
im not 5urpri5ed that you knew of it
5o what do you know a6out the war going on in tho5e moon5?

[franke]

i won't lie, i'm hesit☆nt.
but i c☆n't turn down such a big ☆dventure!
this is my debut!

[austereastronomer]

It will certainly be an adventure, one way or another.
It's good to have you on board, Franke.
Are there any questions I can answer for you?

[franke]

well... yes, one!
this is a g☆me, isn't it?
...wh☆t is the ending like? i don't mind knowing, honest!

[cowbelle]

uuum
um um um
i have a questiooon!!!
we will certainly die if we do not accept, yeees???

[apiarycryptonaut]

Th4t's the impression I... get from 4ll of... this t4lk, I think!

[cowbelle]

i do nooot want to die!!!
oooh nooo
no no nooo!!!
this is veeery scary :(

[austereastronomer]

That would be a more or less correct impression.
Of course, as we have not yet seen the outcome of the meteor shower, there is some uncertainty.
However due to some information we have regarding the game, we believe it is connected to the end of the world it originates upon.

[apiarycryptonaut]

It's a little unnerving for you to read that.

But if th4t's the... c4se then, um, m4ybe...
We c4n prevent it!!!!
M4ybe, m4ybe, m4ybe, m4ybe!
Somehow we c4n ch4nge... things right? I think.
Let's ch4nge the ending!

[cowbelle]

very scary!!!
i do nooot think i would like to wait and see these results

[flowerwhisperer]

You couldn't stop yourself from shrieking! WHO INVITED HER?????

But otherwise you choose not to say anything or you'd just embarrass yourself.

[callouslystalwart]

Well this sounds just fantastic! ~~CS
~I~ had heard the game was somewhat revolutionary, but this! ~~CS
It sounds better all the time! ~~CS

[austereastronomer]

...who invited him.

...I'm glad to see some enthusiasm.
I can only hope there will be continued reason for such sentiment.

[callouslystalwart]

What? ~~CS
You don't see the adventure in this? ~~CS
It is a game, it's meant to be won! ~~CS
If the situation worsens, that actually makes things even better! ~~CS
The more dire the situation ~we~ overcome, the sweeter ~our~ inevitable victory! ~~CS
The sentiment will remain firmly perched in ~my~ pan. ~~CS
