Eh what, Oh Hi!
Well well well, we do seem to have hit some kind of Silver Age haven't we? I still can't believe I'm seeing
daily activity. I suppose it is time we do stuff about it huh? Anyway, yes, the advancement of the timeline could work. I've actually had my own theories about how it would work too.
To be honest, we've failed as heroes at times.
The Rps that we have set up before now, while mostly lighter, establishment fare, should have consequences. I've gone over this somewhat briefly with Swix though personal message, and the best example I can think of are the consequences of "
The Collector is Coming". Any time jump forward would have to acknowledge we have a massive spiraling cloud of evil tearing the sky in two outside of the encampment. We stopped that Rp, we didn't resolve it, we need to live with it.
I believe Swix stated that the area around the cloud causes the plant and animal life to mutate into dark, twisted versions of what they were. Having these Flora and Fauna
just outside our main city would, in reality, cause the implementation of all kinds of defenses, training, and the slight forcing of our research's hand. This could certainly make any time skip so much more interesting, by hypothesizing on the natural course from there, and embracing what's happened before.
Also, in another route, I need to bring up the necessity of recruitment.
I've always been a very firm believer in getting as much new blood as possible. The results are simply not comparable to anything else. Look what happened when we got
one "new" member back. The entire forum burst with energy. In my mind, this is far more important than any time skip.
I know it's difficult, but don't we all kind of know an RPer that might want to hang out with some really cool guys? New blood would create new RPs, and build our world far more than we can do with a map. Programs like the EC could, after so many dormant years,
start recruiting again. We get to comfortable with how things are going, and fall into a slump. Seeing a new post in the Greetings area seems to wake all of us up, plain as that.
These are just my thoughts on how to have a true resurgence here on Pax. After all, my recruiting campaign in the last days of Blackstar got us Borg, and I happen to think having him around might've made us a bit of a better group, eh?

My thinking however was that since there seems to be more of us, that maybe we spin time forward a bit, let things settle down and use it as a foundation for a new era for Pax.
