Poll results are in. Option B - Tricky Rebellion is the clear winner, with people voting no on the time travel wrinkle, but people in the comments saying they wouldn't mind if there was possibly a small, incidental sideplot concerning one as long as the main event wasn't hinged on it.
For the record, that's this:
( Option B - Tricky Rebellion ) As for how we're going to have to proceed? That's up for the mods decide. Effective immediately, I'm stepping down as plot mod. That means all over-arching plot stuff and the plot email stuff is being left to the main mods. I took the job because I wanted to try to make things run more smoothly, but it's only led to frustration, it hasn't generally been fun, and it's opened me up to abuse because it's made it so I couldn't sequester myself away when I've needed to during times I've been mentally and emotionally unstable because time-sensitive things needed to be done.
I can't do it anymore. This game started out as my baby, but now it's like that teenager that I still love but that I'm trying to kick out of the house and make them get a damn job because I need to save for retirement. That means it's time to step back, hope things get done, and hope it all holds together. I'll still be here as a player, but I don't want to have to run or organize things other than player plots anymore.
So the rebellion vote is decided but how it actually gets executed is being left to someone else. Good luck and thanks for all the fish.
