*Sigh*
Let's try to keep things on topic, shall we? Because many comments were half and half between serious points and derailing comments about all sorts of unrelated things, I had to hide a decent chunk of the most recent comments. If you want to continue the discussion, please do so without derailing the thread into oblivion.
 
On the topic of MoeNovel's censorship. While it is understandable that they want to market their games for Steam, (something most companies do,) this doesn't excuse the lack of any form of 18+ version of their games, either in the form of patches, or separate games sold on different stores. (The dumb part being, they actually DO sell their games on other stores, for example on Mangagamer, but this version is still censored.) This is especially silly, seeing as every single game they have ever localized has been an eroge originally. (Even Love Kami, as it was discovered that, while the games were released first in the west as all-ages games, the original still had the 18+ content written into them, but it was simply sold later in Japan, most likely to avoid the eyes of western fans complaining about censorship.)
In Cross Channel's case, they do have a console version they can use, (this still bothers me personally, as the original release was an eroge, and the console port came later, so I'd want the original version localized, and not the console version,) but it is at the very least a bit more defendable. The terrible translation is not, though.

Lmao
Steam doesn't allow pornographic content and for good reason (kids can and will access any porn), it's not a tirade of censorship on moenovel's part, they just want to sell their game on Steam. 
Also likening a repression of sexual content to the political left is just... Hilariously off-base, to say the least. 

I know this is way too late for blame Mitch day, but I've made a little something for you @mitchhamilton.

I kind of hope it goes horribly bad and it leads to Moenovel finally dying. I don't want their hands on more titles after this. The sooner Moenovel goes away the better.

Little did he know, he had already died by the time regret caught up to him.

Thanks for the birthday cheers everyone.

Thank you to everyone for being so supportive. I really didn't expect such a warm reaction to my post.
I'm sorry to those who didn't find /r/visualnovels a welcoming place, I should have done a better job when I was a mod there in setting a more tolerant tone.
Ah yeah I find that too, once they get a certain size it's so hard to engage in a conversation as it eats up all your time, you need to reply so fast and need the window open constantly. It's also harder to recognise people as there's a constant stream of new faces on busier servers, so it's hard to grow closer.

Thanks for the birthday cheers everyone.

Happy birthday Starman!

I guess I'm late too, but all best wishes to You @EastCoastDrifter! Hope you'll stick arounf for a while.

Pretty late to say this because I just knew this morning, so let me say happy 24th birthday to our @EastCoastDrifter here and hope you'll have a good year ahead.

Happy birthday @EastCoastDrifter! I always love seeing your name (and posts) around the forums. So much love! <3

Huh? I'm not sure how I missed it. Happy Birthday, @EastCoastDrifter!

Happy birthday to our very own space fanatic @EastCoastDrifter!!!!

Alright, the poll is now closed. Looks like I'll be including both wild cards and environmental dangers. Global warming is coming for your asses!
I will start writing chapter 1 this weekend, so while the poll is closed, you can still join by simply leaving a comment below. I am not 100% sure what day I will post the chapers, but I am leaning towards every Sunday. I will give a clear date this weekend, once I actually get to writing chapter 1, and I have a general idea of how much I have to write each week.

Thanks. Although you should thank @Clephas for supplying most of the lore through his comments, which I really like, so it was greatly appreciated. I have yet to come up with the lore for the OEL Union and Keyland, though I do have a rough idea for the former, and it involves a certain western VN that took the world by storm in 2017.

Updated the map.

This is to include a very important "key" publisher that I can't believe I forgot, even though it left its mark on the VN community for a very long time.
