To start new year or whole new "game"?
Since Ali wishes to return to game I figured I'd post up a topic to discuss whether we should start new school year or just start with whole new group of students and pretend the previous people graduated? Both have their pros and cons (probably even more of those than I can think of) but quickly a list of the ones I can think of:
*not literally 20 pages but few pages of new replies is still page amount * 15 so two pages of new replies would already be 30 replies(!)
I'm obviously biased since I have quite few characters that pretty much lost their point since Susu isn't around anymore and I'm having really hard time figuring how I'd write for example Luca away from dating Emmeline and being connected to Fox and Cristoff(or however you wrote his name *too lazy to check*) bit same thing with Ania though with her at least Tristan would just graduate if we started a new year so she'd kind of get cut off automatically from him. Asides from them I have left only Ada who by then is mother of small son (=maternity break) Aslak whom.... I don't even remember where I left him (oops poor boy) and Roxanne... well her I could write on since I have a lot of stuff about her in my head XD and Chase who I never got around writing enough to get used to his character so I'm not sure where to go with him (+ the actual sim got lost somewhere so I'd be forever stuck with that ugly avatar and even worse staring at that super shiny skin, ugh what were I thinking anyway!?) ... except I think he would be graduating too?
Anyway all in all I'm pretty much willing to throw all my characters out of window and have a fresh start. Except for Hayato since keeping him around would actually make sense to me with him being teacher and all.
But yeah that was my long ramble on how I see this, opinions? Let's debate this topic to death! XD
| New school year | VS. | Starting fully anew |
| +/- No need to make new characters (though of course new ones can be introduced) | | | +/- Get to make new characters (basically recycling old ones is allowed too though) |
| + characters have existing relationships with each other | | | + we'd get to build relationshops from the bottom again |
| - Characters have relationships with other characters that are no longer part of the game at all which could possibly hinder writing the characters on | | | + no such problem on this side (yet) |
| - Old game is long and if anybody new wanted to enter that would be really hard since they'd missing all the background information about what happened | | | + newbie friendly (unless we end up spamming 20+ pages a day *cough* we've done that before after all*) |
*not literally 20 pages but few pages of new replies is still page amount * 15 so two pages of new replies would already be 30 replies(!)
