MAY PLOTTING POST
|
PLOT POST - May Welcome to our May 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 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS -Starting in May, we will be proceeding with a series of events that will be chained together, building off of each other and influenced by player involvement! Events from now until October will be part of a set series of continuous effects and influences. -As such, we would also like to announce that May will be our last app month for a while! As you may notice from the game calendar, we will have a TDM and an app round at the end of this month. However, the next app around will not be until the end of September to allow for a smooth operation with the game's plot and chain of events. New characters will arrive in June, and the next opportunity for new characters to arrive will be October. -Due to recent shifts in the playerbase, we are down a few AC helpers and would love to have more on deck! If you would like to help us process AC at the end of every month, please send us a PM or leave a note on the mod contact page. -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. -In addition, please be aware that a regain is only eligible for AC if it has been approved by us in the current AC month! Even if it's a backdated thread if the memory is triggered in the current month and receives an approval comment from us this will count! However, regains that are not approved by us are not eligible for AC and will count as a strike. Please be sure to turn your regains in early to ensure they are reviewed prior to AC! -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. IMPORTANT DATES 1st Retrospec Post 9PM EST 3rd Event log at 9PM EST 11th AU Workshop 18th Reserves/TDM 25th Apps Open 28th EMP 31st AC Due, Apps close see our calendar for a look at upcoming dates this month and further! WORLD CHANGES • The National Library from Bungou to Alchemist will now exist in the game over in Apprassage. The National Library holds every book published in Japan. It has a very nice courtyard, a lounge area, an infirmary, several offices, a dining hall, a bar, and many unoccupied dorm rooms. • In addition in Tisse The Three Broomsticks from Harry Potter will make an appearance. The Three Broomsticks Inn is a pub that serves meals and most important their famous butterbeer. Be sure to check out our world changes page over here and our world regains page to track all changes and read up on our guidelines. 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. Players may also contribute points toward bringing back world patches representing their canons that other players may explore outside of the city! Please see the world changes page for more information. Of note: players are allowed to help contribute to buying world changes not from their own canon. Players may donate up to 500 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/personal locations/etc. EVENTS SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Beginning in May, the mod team will also be changing up the style of event logs and how they're presented to the game. Due to the nature of the upcoming events, we will not be structuring them with several different prompts for you to choose from. Rather, we will provide a write-up of the events occurring throughout the month and allow for players to create their own prompts and events based on these happenings. EVENT On May 3rd, all characters will receive a notification from Zee on their phone via the Retrospec network. The message will be brief and simply say: "The layers have collapsed." Upon stepping outside, everything around them will disappear and the whole city will appear to be covered in a white, blank canvas. All buildings, items, landmarks, animals and etc are missing as if characters have stepped in a white seamless room. Their phones will soon light up and provide them with coordinates to follow, and as they head off they will soon come across a large paintbrush dripping in the color of your character's heart stones/curse marks/or a color closely associated with them. As they experiment with the brushes, they will find that they can fling the paint off of the brushes and black ink will scatter across the area, highlighting three dimensional objects like so. Black is the only color that will appear at this time though. It will be up to characters to re-highlight the whole city and piece together the structures before them to provide an outline for the new layers to be built. Team up to work together, and you might just find some surprises... More info will be available on the third! RESTORATION QUESTS Your friendly neighborhood NPC, Zee Carlisle, has been monitoring you and your progress, Retrospecters. Assessments have been finalized and files have been updated, but this NPC isn't going away. As a hiring manager, Zee will be interested in enlisting several characters for new adventures, quests, and volunteer assignments going forward in phase two. As we roll into a new month, ten new quest slots are open. Players may not double up on these slots, and for now we do ask that players who take a quest must wait one month before requesting another slot (i.e. if you take a slot in March, your next available slot will be in May.) However, you are allowed to accompany other characters on quests if you so choose. You may pick partners to quest with and we will discuss further details of arrangements and more at the time of request. In addition, successful quests will net you additional bonus points! These will be based on difficulty of quest and effort put into the quest. Please visit the assignment board for more information. FREEBIE -This month's freebie will require one thread from the mod-posted Restrospec post on the 1st featuring at least ten consecutive comments from you. As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past May -In addition, you may qualify for a freebie in May by threading out the structure-painting with at least one person you haven't threaded with before. This thread will qualify when there are at least five consecutive comments from you. -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. |
