MONTHLY PLOT POST
PLOT POST - January
Welcome to our January plotting post! Please feel free to comment to these posts with your character's plans for the month or with what you would like to do for the month, and feel free to discuss those plans with everyone else! Here is the mod questions thread!

MOD BULLETIN BOARD

-First and foremost, we would like to announce that starting today, plot clues may not be bought! For January and February, due to plot reasons, plot clues will not be able to be purchased by players. These clues will reopen in March. Please keep in mind when purchasing a plot clue we do ask that players have a specific idea in mind of what they would like to look into (i.e. it is harder for us to create a clue that is "I want to explore an NPC area and see what I can find!" versus "I want to check out the waffle house and see if there are any remnants of Retrospec at all since the mailbox is there.")

-Starting in 2018, we have altered our hiatus rules just a slight bit! Beginning this month, all hiatuses going forward must be a total of 14 days or more in the month you are calling hiatus to be considered exempt from AC. Due to the high volume of players/characters in-game, along with the amount of activity generated per month and the opportunities for freebie memories, we feel that even 20 days in the month is enough to make AC for characters. Please note: nothing else about our hiatus rules have changed. If your hiatus is more than 14 days but is split between two months, we will still need AC for at least one of these months.

-We will have an opportunity for a monthly freebie every month going forward! However, we would like to clarify that all freebie regains must be applied for before the end of the AC period! We do not accept freebies beyond this barring specific circumstances.

-Additionally, please remember there is no limit to how many regains you can earn in a month! Though you need one memory regain for your AC, you're free to claim as many as allotted for the month so you have time to pick and choose which one to link for AC.

-While freebies can be submitted at any point in the month, we would like to remind players that per the regains guide, we do ask that the last tag from you on a thread submitted for regular memory regains be no older than 14 days.

-We also ask that players do not trigger their own memories prior to clearing things with us! It's part of the game mechanic for regains to be done the way that they are, so this means we ask players not to have their characters feel memories coming on, etc.

-Please be sure to keep your registries up to date with both memories and abilities! A good habit to get into is updating your registry as soon as the notification from us is received. This not only helps you remember what your character already knows, but it also helps us so that we can judge future regains accordingly based on what your character has already obtained.

-We would like to use this time to provide a friendly reminder to please use your character tags to tag yourself on posts and logs! This helps keep things organized not only for us but for your gamemates as well. In addition, if there is an error with your character tag or you need us to change anything, please let us know.

WORLD CHANGES

• Currently as of this weekend, grains, fruits/veggies, meats, and dairy/other drinks have been regained taste-wise! We have one more tier to meet and status can be found on the world regains page.

Be sure to check out our world changes page over here and our world regains page to track all changes. Players are free to buy back certain aspects of their canon to help impact and change the world as well, though we may delay the installment of some features for plot purposes.

Of note: players are allowed to help contribute to buying world changes not from their own canon. Players may donate up to 100 points to another player's cause. When donating points to a canon buyback, please put them on the same world change page here! Please note, these are only for world changes and not items/powers/etc.

EVENTS
Happy 2018, Recollé! Did you have a nice holiday? Good thing the taste of meat came back just in time for your fancy Christmas dinners. The new year is looking brighter than ever...

...isn't it? Maybe not quiet.

Starting January 3rd, a large dome-like structure will overtake the entire city of Recollé with the intent of isolating the city and its energy readings. While the sun will still be shining and providing some much-needed vitamin D to the city, there will be nothing but darkness until February 1st as the Retrospec team works on a greater problem.

In the meantime, characters may be able to utilize different means to create new light sources. Street lamps will be lit and electricity will still work, but citizens may find that they'll have to get creative as they make their way through their every day lives.

In addition, the blockades in front of the old subway system will give way at the beginning of the month and open several tunnel routes for exploration. While it's unknown where the tunnels go or what characters may find, nothing is stopping them from exploring different routes that are open, taking expedition teams down underground, and mapping out new city lines. Please be sure to read this month's event log for more details!

Of note: there will be a few small player plots open for volunteers that you guys can get involved in (not mod-run and game-wide, simply mod-approved) so be sure to be on the lookout for those as well.

Finally: we would like to announce that February will be our next big plot month similar to August's event! We have taken a lot of your feedback from August to heart and have created a new set of circumstances and information to work with for the next month-long plot-jump. This information will go up in an OOC post on January 25th (the same day apps open as to allow new players/characters a chance to jump in, too.)

FREEBIE

-This month's freebie will require one thread from the mod-posted Restrospec post on the 1st featuring at least ten comments from you. As usual, this regain should be turned into our regains request post with "January Freebie" and the qualifying thread link in the explanation section! As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past January.

-For your reference, check out the plot clues/finds page found here! This is all for OOC knowledge, though characters have been spreading the information ICly as well. As of this post, this plot page is up to date.

-Additionally, if you haven't yet be sure to check out the regains guide to help outline what kind of triggers will work for obtaining regains and memories in-game.

As mentioned above, please feel free to comment to this post (and to each other) with your character's plans for the month for plotting and CR building.

Yes please!! I know Light is going to be graduating this spring too, so he could definitely spend some time trying to get in touch with Matt as he gets ready to move onto his actual career?

HA we can make this happen. What a great way to welcome taste back.

BRING IT!!! Really thus far Light has just hit people up like "hey you were recommended talk to me", so it's pretty easy to do!

Also I just tagged in with him on the Retrospec post if that's of interest: https://retrospec.dreamwidth.org/114702.html?thread=42374158#cmt42374158

you know it will! best excuse to go to the subway entrances and explore is by heading there "unintentionally", purely by accident, they were just doing nifty tricks until they found the entrance!

Well she currently has four summoned monsters. The first is a Tonberry, the second is a woman with blue skin that floats, then there's a tomato with a ragdoll body, and this is Gilgamesh.

Pen's definitely got obvious supernatural stuff, basically. She'll happily explain, and the critters are all friendly. Coincidentally the thief thing might work out well, because she's a pirate.

Well he'll have a chance. If not in this plot then definitely later. it'll be a proper summon at the end.

H.P. Lovecraft (aka Howard Phillips Carter) will actually be more or less okay with the dark because wow, now he actually has an excuse to be as much of a narcoleptic as he is. Thanks, Retrospec!!! If anyone wants to be scared by a long gangly man in the middle of said darkness though, Howard's your guy??? (He's much more harmless than he looks.)

In other news, he'll be a part of Pen's player plot and will be throwing in his alliance with an eldritch demon. It's no biggie. He's starting to regain memories of possibly being eldritch himself, so he's kind of...a little messed up about it. It's okay. He'll be fine.

ALSO ALSO I FORGOT he regained his enhanced hearing so he'll probably be making a retrospec post about that soon!!

I don't have any concrete plans for him at the moment besides eldritch god contracts but once again, Howard is a writer/teacher's assistant at Recolle U, is interested in shipwrecks and writing about said shipwrecks, and is, overall, a hermit that loves cats and sweets and sleeping in random places too much for his own good. If you ave any ideas for CR with him, I'm down for whatever!!
