Hello Nysans! We just wanted to take this opportunity to make a few announcements about some upcoming game events this month.
Event Submissions —
This is just a reminder that event submissions from the February intro log are due tonight by 11:59 PM EST. Players can submit their threads under the appropriate subheading here.
As a reminder, submitted threads do not have to be AC length, but the events described must have been threaded out. (i.e. If you submit a thread under Killing Vultures the actual killing of a vulture must have occurred in the thread by the time of the submission.)
Looking Ahead —
The next event log will be posted on February 21st. As a teaser, this event will build on the events which took place in this month's intro log. (So get those event submissions in if you haven't already!) Players can expect the relationship between Olympia and Wyver to continue to sour as the hostility toward "outsiders" in each city continues to grow, and travel between the two grows increasingly difficult.
Additionally, there will be another modpost going up on March 2nd which will contain an outline for the month, as well sign ups for a plot event taking place on March 9th. While the event will have multiple avenues for player actions to influence the outcome, the signup portion of the event will be time-sensitive and may involve serious/dangerous consequences for characters who sign up. Additionally, certain slots will be limited and selected at random from the pool of characters who sign up. Please keep this in mind when you are deciding whether or not to sign up.
Applications —
After some discussion, the team decided that we will be rescheduling our application cycle after our April app round! Due to the game moving into a major plot arc, we will be redirecting attention from intro logs to events with conflict that all characters will have to resolve, the outcome of which will be directly determined by player actions. To reiterate, we will still be opening apps in April, but that will be the last app round until the plot arc concludes. The arc is expected to last approximately three months, meaning that apps will be opening again in July instead of June.
Quest System Update —
Unaffiliated quest submission deadlines have been adjusted to give questers more time. Quest submissions are now due on March 19 rather than the end of the month. We do encourage quest threading proactively, as some quest results can impact overall plot events!
In addition, in order to cohere with the upcoming plot, details for Blinded with Science (2) will be given later in the week. From an IC standpoint, all characters will be given group-specific details, as they will be working on different parts of the same whole for this quest. After submitting a projected outcome, a choice will be offered to characters based on what they do. Thank you for your patience, questers!
Also at this time, we are closing sign ups for A Day in the Life (2) and To Kill a Mocking Bird. If you/your quest group finds yourself unable to complete a limited slots quest on time, please let us know so that we can pass the baton to another group! Should slots become available for these quests, sign ups will be first come, first served.
Once again, as we implement our bi-monthly schedule, the next quest update will be in April! We're adjusting our quest system to be more efficient after seeing what's worked and hasn't worked for us so far, so expect rules and guidelines for quest signups to look different next time. We apologize for our lateness and we'll be striving to make quests a better experience in the future!
This concludes our mod address! If you have any questions or concerns, please use the questions thread below, or drop a line on our modbox. Thank you!
