The MaiOtaku Project

Why shall we wait, keeping the idea and the think tank going will allow us to get and understanding of what we potential want in the manga. One major idea is determining whether or not the governments will get involved or even the Church.

Its gonna have something similar regardless. The fanatic leader of the Holy Crusaders, but will he actually be with the Catholic church? Will it be separate, or will we steer clear from using "Catholic" I'm general

I think were gonna have to vote on it, at least for the people working on this, who've been active lately. (Me, Kc, Altair, Karasu, and Naito)

Well let's take a look at our manga for a second to answer the question of whether or not we're going to include plot elements including government and religion. If we were going to include those elements it would take a back burner to other things considering that the only time in which these plot elements could come up would be whilst both dimensions are separate. Also considering we wanted to include the element of the players being the only ones aware of what's happening during the mergers the real world would be blissfully unaware of the conflict, or if they were aware it would only be through rumors and information spread by the players. So, if we were to include these elements it would have to be through the eyes of the players. So here's my suggestion: Don't make things more complicated than they need to be, include the elements of government and religion but don't make it into it's own sub plot, incorporate it into the main plot. The government is already going to be involved with the W.O.R.L.D. AI system anyways, and I'm pretty sure the Holy Crusaders would be primarily made up out of religious members from various churches. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if they're already being primarily covered under the main plot route then we shouldn't flesh it out and make it into it's own sub plot...

Here is the thing, addressing the matter of the government. We might know they are involved but to what extent. Your wanting us not to complicate things but to be honest it more so a matter of clarity. Im certain many people have read manga that state certain things are involved, yet don't really piece them together. Leaving the reader wondering, again these are just things that need to be addressed so that we have a full understanding of what is to be scripted. Like will the government have its own people trying to resolve the matter. Will they Be like shield an be aware of the threat yet leave it in the hands of the gamers. Will they try to stop the gamers to keep the threat under wraps while trying to handle it themselves. But these are all questions and thoughts that can be address as the series progress. It not so much a sub plot but more so a tool to be used, for plot twist and clarity. The topic of religion was mainly brought up to see if we would have the holy crusader member of a church. they could just be everyday people that don't care about religion in real life but like the aspect in the game world. Though I was thinking if we were doing something along the lines of Brain implants or chips or whatever perhaps the members of the crusader were simply taken over by this AI. @ Naito lol feel free to just post your ideas and what you have that way it can be discussed as a group.
