Update regarding base locations

[srwu_mods]

The game starts very soon, on Friday. Because of that we need to get some things regarding the game setting in order - the setting can be expanded later of course, but some things have to be decided on as the game starts.

To be specific we're talking locations for Unity Group bases, as per our Locations page and this post. We need some time to make a decision and announce the results, so we set the deadline for player-given suggestions for what canon locations make a good base - the deadline is Midnight between Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th CDT.

If you know a good location from any of the canons that are in the game that'd make a fine location for a Unity Group base, please respond to this post or the earlier one that was linked a paragraph before. If you know such a location from a canon that is NOT in the game but you plan to app it, please let us know anyway - but make sure the app is finished before the game starts!

I still have to finish my app but assumed that it's approved, I submit the Haran Mansion as a base. As for where it is, either Japan, the UK, or America, whichever needs a base. The Mansion is never SAID to be set anywhere specific.

These aren't ideal, but given the dearth of options I may as well put them forward.

Pacific Rim has Shatterdomes in both Tokyo and LA. We know essentially nothing about them, so they'd be little different to OC bases, but they'd at least be OC bases attached to canon locations.

Getter Robo has the Saotome Labs. There are a few issues with this, but they're surmountable. On the other hand, even if I rush to get Hayato apped in before the game starts, he probably wouldn't be around from the start of the canon, and I can't speak for my castmates.

Issues with Saotome Labs: one, it gets attacked and trashed a lot in canon. On the other hand, this could be toned down considerably in SRWU. Two, depending on how plot works out, it may blow up / be Getter irradiated. This is negotiable, and could be confined to the "lab" section of the base. Third, people may not be comfortable being that close to the Getters and their messed up pilots. Fourth, it's fairly central within Japan, rather than conveniently close to e.g. Tokyo.

So yeah. Nothing ideal, but best to have options out on the table.
