The idea that something that has had such a big, significant effect on the past while of roleplay should just be retconned seems entirely silly, especially since it has made up several meetings, some of which get counted as aid for tribal progression here in Duyuei, among other things for other factors. Quite frankly, we are in WAY too deep for this.Fair enough. Like I said, it's the big red button. I won't deny it's sort of the 'extreme' option, but I want to put it out there as a technical option.
My belief is that we shouldn't steer the ship OOCly too hard, and thus should not pick how to resolve this based entirely off OOC. What works better ICly of the two remaining options? Well, it depends how you look at it. Do you believe you can wrap things up in one neat package with a single event? Can you make that single event happen through IC means?
What about the neutral territory idea? Do you have a place that would be considered "neutral" enough for this discussion to be hosted? Geladyne has offered Meiaquar a voice, perhaps Meiaquar could push for that voice to be made on neutral territory where both are on even terms.
Let's not set a precedent of navigating OOCly out of rough waters or dismissing all the IC under suspicions of what is and isn't such. If it's within both sides to resolve it in a way that feels satisfying, move towards that ICly.
It was decided that going to Geladyne would not be for the best since it could easily be a trap and holds too many risks. As such, somewhere such as Duyuei might be best. We went there for the summit, might as well go there again. Could be same location, could be a similar. I'll admit that it would probably take some agreement from the parties involved, though, so I won't say we should/are going anywhere specifically. Whenever I have the energy to properly make an announcement in the Meiaquar section and in our Discord, I'll be certain to mention it.
I do apologize if my post came off as trying to use ooc to get out of the situation, though. Certainly not my intent, but I could see why it could be taken as such. If the first option is taken, it'd be a one and done thing due to the circumstances. I just think something that's majorly ooc-based should have the option to be scrubbed clean, and if that means a do-over needs to happen, so be it.
Either way, fair enough points to be brought up.
