Welcome

    The Draft is set in a futuristic, dystopian setting where the government, known as The Trust, controls all aspects of every day life. They decide what kind of job you have, tell you where you are going to live and what color car you are going to drive, and most of all, who you are going to marry.

    Heavily influenced by Christian theology, The Trust has outlawed any and everything that they felt was destructive towards marriages, including love. Marriage is based on a careful system of matching that uses formulas to pair personalities together and of course, taking into account what the man finds most attractive.

    It's 2186 and this has become a normal part of life for the citizens of America, considering that The Trust has been in power for over a hundred years now. But every dystopian society has a resistance against the controlling figures and the question is, do you fight it or favor it? But no matter what, you cannot fight The Draft.

    This board is RATED R. There is the possibility of strong language, drugs, violence, and scenes of a sexual nature.

Weather

    For the most part, this board works in real-time with the option to move ahead by a couple of months, as long as you keep in the current season.

    Game time is currently April - July.

    For the month of March, the weather is desperately trying to make up it's mind. Mornings will usually be chilly with high 60s to an occasional low 70s during the day time, dropping once more at night. Some days will be chilly all the way through so always check the weather before leaving the house. From April through June, the weather becomes more steady as the temperatures climb. By June, they'll top out in the 80s. July and August, they'll reach the 90s before starting their downwards decline once more.

Petronela Reynolds  "There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own." - Katherine Anne Porter
