I have a friend who, from what I can tell, is considering highly getting into RP because of this and mentions of it (on Reddit), so I think Askier and those helping have done wonders in promoting RP and connections.
...I might have alluded to it in a post of mine when someone asked about an RP server still being Balmung....
I think some major questions people had about dealing with this is is the scope of the poisoning. Now, we know that it will eventually dilute to a point where it won't be an issue in the flowing water (like water falls or that they're not issues at all). However free standing pools I assume are being quarantined etc. because those have no ways of breaking down the poison. It's past the time that people have said people will have been affected. How many are  dead and approximately how many may be dying, can we still save them? We can continue to skirt around it and say that we just need to be careful, a large amount of people died (not specify numbers anymore), etc.
In other news, as OOCly as I can state it, there's no Brass Blades really RPing. So... I'm not sure how to proceed with that on a Brass Blades angle but for the fact that the NPC blades will be on the lookout for Jin'li or Osric or both. Other than that... Kage's looking for a force of healers, magic-wielders, and people willing to not falter in the face of darkness. I'm not sure how to deal with the fact that Kage knows there needs to be a strike force or a defensive force but uh... OOCly I... don't have Blades xD; So he may just be working as a Free Paladin with those forces...???
More Edits to go with all the edits: I don't think people are saying "these are the exact consequences people -must- face" but that there is going to be some RP that goes about that if character opinions are going to be changed. This is not a bad thing. At all. Characters ICly will have opinions, and it's up to the wonderful story telling in RP that things may happen and change.
I had to come to the event late. I had to be bonked by friends to even join because ICly Kage had no knowledge of what is going on. People are wondering how this affects their RP because if the city was attacked... everyone would know about it. In fact, that was what was handwaved for Kage to come running out of the Gate of Thal in order to join in. It was public. So, people -do- need to start talking about the loads of people who died or did not die etc from the poison because it does affect general RP. However, this is only something Askier, Haeden, Osric, and/or Erik can answer (or just Askier) because those involved in the event might have started to misunderstand the scope of the poison event. But I think we've started to say that this has been mostly dealt with ICly, but OOCly we just need to be sure of the scope and how open this can be. If loads of people died, how many? How long did it take?
The massive scale of what people were saying (dehydration and whatnot) does impact RP and that was the implication people started to get within this thread. I think this is what some of those not involved want squared away, especially if they live in Ul'dah or RP in it. But I think a lot of people got hit by the "every water source was contaminated" and it snowballed. It's starting to seem that it's not that big, and I for one think further talk about the scope of it will have to wait until we have a clear understanding of it. ... Mainly from Askier?
I'm more worried about the fact that I don't have Brass Blades to RP with ; ; /shot Kage needs to get a force ready ; ;
