This thread is for residents of The Western Isles Only. Trespassers will be dealt with accordingly.
Overview
Life on Gresswell is a unique experience - a place where the sun does not shine at all for a few weeks presents its own unique challenges. An island with just over 130 permanent inhabitants, the small population and the researchers who frequent this island certainly have stories that can be told.
This thread is for OOC coordination - a place where collaboration in regards to the island can occur. You can discuss anything and everything about Gresswell Island in this thread - whether that be history, IC posts or its complex relationship with the outside world. IC posts surrounding Gresswell Island will occur in The Citizens of The Western Isles thread unless a RP comes up that can justify a new IC thread for it. IC posts will generally be random in nature, with little story direction. The factbook for the territory is here.
So, there’s been a lot of ideas pitched in regards to this territory and this is the perfect place to discuss and plan some of them.
- A weather station (canon) where meteorology and climate change research can occur (it can kinda be our antarctica regarding that)
- An observatory (non-canon)
- Having the island as a location for peaceful geopolitical friction (canon) (ie intrigue between Thuzbekistan and Ostehaar under the disguise of non-militaristic scientific research)
- A polar expedition, which could possibly be a RP (non canon)
- Seed bank (kinda canon)
