Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lemmy explained the storyline a bit more. The main setting for the guild was in Alaska, it was only a small group that went there for the obvious reason anyone would think of going there.

Worldwide, everyone's not dead, there's large to small groups depending on the location, but they're just there to set up a preset world. Russia, Cuba, North Korea, Hawaii, some of South America, Iceland, Jamaica, a lot of Africa, have groups of people, as do the Rockies, and some of Canada, (Mexico too, but that one mostly crashed from internal conflict, joined up with Cuba, or joined up the main group) but they don't really count since it's more of the place in Alaska than those. The story begins half a year after everything started.

As for the group considered "bad" it's really just a cult, not really baskstabbers. ; w ; I had to learn a lot about how cults work before making them... The third one consisted of a task force designed for this, but like Lily said, no amount of badassery could really hold down a population large enough. Their first task was in New York City (they failed) where it started in the USA.

For where they are, most of the first group consists of people who all have the same idea, go north, it's cold, things freeze. Second one thought the same, but generally were quite a bit far apart. The third is nowhere near the other two, they were in Cheyenne Mountain, which is in Colorado. They still had superiors, had orders, things to do, etc., etc., spent most of their time going to the more "dangerous" parts of the USA at that time. There were also groups of NPC characters, for if anyone wants to have their own travel around (a friend and I had ours in an RV, go around to see if anything's been getting better) and needs a "safe" place to have them stay for the night (for example, Mt. Rushmore had a small NPC group of a dozen people)

People didn't have to apart of any of them either, it's really just for those who have characters who would most likely want to apart of a larger group of people for safety. ; ~ ; But yeah, failed.

Though, do you two really think that making two groups was a big enough issue? I was just so sick and tired of people making characters too absurdly psychotic. I know after traumatic events like can cause people to lose their mind, but while characters do tend to die (some people are idiots) now and then to make it more realistic, there's still a "don't kill someone's character unless it's self defense" rule so that people don't die unless there's honestly no way they can survive (without being amputated) and people with the really crazy characters just kept ignoring that, had to kick people out for constantly killing characters without permission (which you know, just gets the post deleted and ignored) or warn people, etc., etc., or even have them get angry that their characters are "shunned" by the ones trying to survive for being a danger to everyone.

So I made that other group to throw all the people who do that in. Follows the basic "obey the leader of the cult or die" thing. Unlike the friendlier group, they didn't accept most people (most likely kill intruders, put a warning in the thread so people know that) and people had characters in them by telling me so I can edit their character in there.
