MOD ANNOUNCEMENTS: MAY
OOC & ADMIN UPDATES
Notable Dates
NEW PROJECT FORMAT
As previously mentioned, we're changing the way we handle projects! (Except for Haven and Sashamiri, which are being grandfathered in as they are.) Projects are now going to be short-term endeavors with definite end-goals–essentially a planned series of connected player plots and related IC efforts where we work with you to decide in advance what steps are necessary to solve a mystery or achieve a specific goal, rather than making players propose individual plots one step at a time and hope they eventually reach the end of figuring something out someday. Think of them sort of like special task forces, temporary bodies organized to deal with a particular issue or achieve a particular end.
Our hope is that this will make it easier for players to make concrete progress on plot endeavors that interest them and also open up more opportunities for characters to take initiative and lead something without it needing to be a permanent OOC commitment. Anyone can propose a project and any character can lead one, including characters who have other IC leadership roles.
You can find the form to propose a project on the plot request page. The form contains more guidelines and specific advice. (Please note that silly project code names are not optional.) If after reading all the info in the form you're still not sure if what you have in mind could fit in the new project format, feel free to ask on the Mod Contact!
IC & PLOT UPDATES
May Mod Plot
Our very sincere intention to run a mod plot in March obviously did not work out! And because our plans for resolving the nightmare plot involve some character-brain-revealing, CR-focused plans that will feel a bit repetitive so soon after the (extremely cool and big!) amnesia plot, we've decided to shuffle the order of our plans and push that one back.
Instead, this month we'll be doing something a bit more action/adventure-focused. We don't want to give away the fun parts of the details, but it will involve an IC emergency that requires immediate attention from most characters, followed by some sailing adventures that take up most of the latter half of the month. OOC, it will be similar in format to the Antiva plot, with an open log (or two) for everyone to do their own top-levels, plus some specific missions/set pieces that people can tag into.
Nightmare Status
Since we're pushing back the nightmare resolution for at least a couple months, characters are going to experience a sudden and unexplained break from those nightmares! (Which will in fact be explained when we do the plot.) Finding this suspicious or taking it as an opportunity to do some further investigation would both be reasonable.
IC Leader Updates
Effective immediately, Ellie Williams is the official Griffon Keeper.
If you're interested in any vacant leadership role, you can submit an application by the end of the month.
