So I got curious and did some quick calculations: each chapter is made of 8 sections including the interlude, we just finished chapter 4 which was the end of part 1 of 5 so barring shenanigans and possible lengthy epilogue we have around 128 sections left for this awesome quest and a crapton of threads if our posting keeps up.

Don't even need that to happen. Delaware Bay-->Delaware River, which flows pretty darn close to Philly.Carrnage said:

Dammit Carnage you need to work on your comedic timing you should have gone with a lurch-esque "you rang?"Carrnage said:
Sooooo.
Lots of stuff happened. Wow. I look away for a few days and an entire thread zips by.
Endbringers, Iris, the SH9, Danny, holy crap.
Strange as it is, one of the best 'brightsides' seems to be the S9, given that they'll probably come at us at some point, and from them we can reacquire Iris.
Still I can't believe how much stuff has happened.

There are still parts of the original plan in play, so I'm not going to spoil those, but the Wards definitely weren't part of the original plan. There was also a lot more Cenotaph-style (the fanfic, not Cape!Danny) combat before Endbringer shenanigans.1986ctcel said:

Threshold has always been 16 or half of the voting pool, whichever is lower.FunkyEntropy said:
As a Probationary Ward, Taylor receives $400 a month. Full Ward receives $800. On top of that, all wards receive $50,000 placed into a Trust Fund, and any extra income gained (such as money made through Tinkering or extra-curricular activities is funneled there. The Trust Fund cannot be touched until the Ward turns 18.FunkyEntropy said:
The Resources background represents accumulated income that is outside the control and oversight of the PRT. This does not make it inherently illegal, but if you ever do obtain a source of questionable income it would also be represented by this background. I have tweaked the wording of the "Changes For This Quest" portion of the Resources Background in the Quest Mechanics section to reflect this clarification.
For our purposes, the Resources and Backing Backgrounds represent a steady stream of income, and paying XP for them give them Narrative Armor to avoid being cast aside casually. If you sell something for millions of dollars, then just let it sit under your mattress (so to speak) and don't pay XP for it, something will happen to it (maybe good, maybe bad) if it isn't used up quickly. Just as you can gain Allies and Contacts without XP, but they'll go away and do other things (or things will happen to them) if you don't pay XP for the Backgrounds to represent them.FunkyEntropy said:
My own personal opinion on the matter is that our Virtues should not be raised any further from here on out. I could see a possible case made for raising Temperance to 3, but this isn't the time to discuss it.landcollector said:
One month before you lose an Interval or the Specialty availability goes away. We are approaching losing a few on the sheet as of 5.1, so I will highlight in red any that are a week away from fading when it comes up.Zen said:
No worries - I'm not the best at updating the "Voting In Progress" or "Writing In Progress" statuses on the Index page, so I could see that causing some confusion. In any case, welcome aboard!Lancealot said:
I loves it. I loooooves it. Kinda surprised that EOA didn't muse that SoPA really is her leftover Parahuman powers. Also that Firefly (or Zeph/Reya) didn't freak out more about just what EOA represents (since I doubt they ever saw Alchemicals), or that Taylor didn't mention Iris/Eye of Autochthon and blow their minds even more.
