Sounds like you two were planning a RP of your own inside of mine, which I will not allow, especially being my first RP. You two want to add your own story and that means I'd have to work my entire plan/story to include yours as well as add Blinders/Special Blinders/other groups/and the responses of the other characters. Being my first RP, that's too much for me to handle, especially since I
just started. If our ideas are clashing then it will not work. If that's the case, then this RP might not be the best one to start that colony idea you two have in mind. It's interesting and I certainly think it's possible, just not in my RP because we have two different approaches to the situation: Happy and Ideal vs. Dark side of reality. They don't clash well imo. ^_^;
However, if you two are really set on putting your ideas then I might suggest
making a Private RP to test it out. It can be between you two (or anyone the GM invites). Since it's a Private RP, you can add your rules how you see them. If I were to add your ideas in my RP, it wouldn't really be a major thing in my story. The group would just say hi and move on (At least for Ezra and Boris, they wouldn't care. I won't speak for Loopy and Shine.) and it really wouldn't be important other than just getting food and resources. I can't keep up with what will happen to the group AND the colony, especially when they are so far away from each other. I mean, we're not even in Georgia yet.
