Cordor Rules the Seas!
We had an almost entirely staffed meeting the other day the other day, a completely impromptu one, mind, and seeing nearly all of us together under one roof had me reflect on how much fun I am having playing a Cordorian, and how far the whole show has come.
What I cherish most about this Cordor revival (as I think of it), is that it's come about through grind and hustle, through sheer effort and TLC. It wasn't mere happenstance, it wasn't a wave to be ridden, nor was it a bandwagon to hop onto it. It was taken, by a collective of players I am ever grateful to be associated with, from backstage to front and center. I would credit much of the success to the environment of heavy delegation, enablement and "trickle-down importance" that we went forward with. I think even the ye olde 2012 "lol cordor" meme parroting has started to shake off.
I am very grateful that I've been able to be a part of something so big and literally server-changing despite playing with the handicap that is my timezone (rip). It's thrown off a lot of fears for me about getting involved in factions with said limited playtime. So I want to thank all of the different components of Cordor and co., because that is why its so great. I also want to thank the people who perhaps felt uncomfortable with the huge changes that were pushed in the beginning but either came to bear with us, or delivered antagonist roleplay in a more meaningful way than Cordor's political scene is stereotypically host to when change is on the table. And one can't forget the DM/Dev team, who have devoted, even just recently, many, many hours to bringing the city to life.

Why should the great bell of Beaulieu toll when the shadows were neither short nor long?

Re: Cordor Rules the Seas!
Thank you Marsi you made the big changes happen, and have always been our level head even when things were getting bleak. I am super pleased and delighted to have everyone in my corner and helping out with pushing through endless meetings and starting up cool bis.
You guys rock! So does Cordor in general!

Re: Cordor Rules the Seas!
I am having a great time playing my Cordorian. Sadly I always seem to miss most of my fellow city officials other than the few impromptu rushed meetings but it has been a lot of fun to work in a system that doesn't hand out work/positions for the sake of it but for a purpose. Each official has the power and trust to act and move stories forward (and they can all fight about it later) which has been very refreshing.
