I love the idea of doing another supernatural lore, so much that I'm rooting for it to win. That being said, I'm going to reiterate some previously mentioned points and be honest. I don't think the team can do it, I don't think they're capable of doing it and I don't think ninety-nine percent of them understand what made the supernatural good.
It's an opinion that's going to get me some hate but whatever. I only know of one admin currently on the team that could have the ability to write it, but she's going to be limited by 95% of the team. I know this because I've been in those shoes, and I can already see things going up in flames over it. If it wins, I'm gonna participate as much as I can, but I'm not going to be confident. I mean let me put it in this way, right? This lore we're currently in was supposed to be a Sandbox and while there are a few players still logging in--it's been two or three weeks, and we're already down to a consistent six players online. I'm not sure how much interest you're gonna be able to gauge with a supernatural lore with a player base that is mostly disinterested, or more land on the side of enjoying mech. I think going for something that can offer more appeal for both sides would make more sense paired with the oncoming new build being dropped.
There's a lot you can do with the super far in concept, too. If y'all go for that, I think doing something very far into the future would be incredibly interesting to everyone in the community and unique enough to serve as a new genre as the supernatural lore did. I mean let me tell you this, I'd even go so far as being interested in coming back to write for it.
Could do a legitimate Wasteland-ish meets Game of Thrones style lore. Factor in some light magic, supernatural shit with the background of some sort of cataclysmic event. Maybe the zombies aren't viral beings, but magical beings, or coming back from some radiation. I don't know, I think something that far in with a blend of genres, supernatural, horror, sci-fi, could be way more interesting than treading old ground. Keep this in mind, right? With the supernatural lore. It existed because of innovation. I had a hundred people telling me "MINDGATE THIS WON'T WORK. MINDGATE YOU CAN'T DO A SUPERNATURAL LORE IN PZ IT'S NOT BUILT FOR IT." but we pushed for it, got it, and loved it. So maybe that's what we need again, a bit of innovation instead of relying on what "used to work" or "worked in the past". Go for a new theme.
If super far in wins and you're interested in me sending in a pitch, let me know. I'll send one in.
PS:
Don't take this post as me talking shit about you. I realize the job is hard and you're trying, but facts are facts.
