CLOSING TIME.

Hello, everyone!

This likely comes as no surprise, but we'd like to make it official: As of today, we'll be closing the game. We wish you all the best in your future RP endeavors and hope you had fun while you were here!

NEWS BULLETIN.

Good news, everyone. No idles this month!

Our next event (doubling as a TDM) will be up this Friday. The CR meme for the month will go up alongside it, for you to get your plot on. TDM characters will also be allowed tag around on it, to better facilitate OOC communication.

And, for anyone interested, a couple of you have made progress on the letters in the ruins. V nice.

That's all for now! If you have any questions, direct them to this post or our FAQ.

ACTIVITY REMINDER.

It's time for your monthly activity reminder!

Our activity post is always open and you can fill it out whenever you want throughout the month, but our grace period begins on the 1st and lasts until the 4th. If you'd like, you can use the spreadsheet here to calculate your activity for the month. It's been updated to correct some minor bugs!

Please make sure your threads use GMT. Bonuses should meet the criteria on the activity page.

Fair warning that we often process activity as soon as it comes in during this time period, so if you don't want us to process a comment right away, mark it incomplete and we'll leave it until you're done or the 4th rolls around.

Our monthly shame corner goes up on the 5th, commemorating those who have idled. Idles cannot reapp to the game for three months or reclaim characters, so please fill out the drop form or we'll all be sad.

IN OTHER NEWS.

Our next log is due on August 9th. It'll also double as a TDM, so keep an eye out!

Also, we've made a minor change to the IC network and edited the FAQ to reflect this, since it's been a point of confusion. To make a long story short, characters can officially make posts that send a little notif to everyone instead of just one-on-one texting, so they don't need to manually text everyone or pray someone randomly stumbles over what they've written. If you've already been doing this, don't worry about it and keep on keeping on.

If you have any questions, direct them to this post or our FAQ!

character goals meme

Since we've been talking as a community about ways to improve gameplay, Carolyn and I thought it'd be a good idea to take some time to talk about what we want out of the game itself! (Plus, this way we can lowkey plot for events &cet. if we want to.) So let's chat about where we're interested in going with our characters and see what new plans we can make.

HERE'S UR SURVEY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADJUST TO UR NEEDS:

Name: who you are
Contact: how we reach you
Character/Canon: who you play

1. What are your character's IC current goals, in the short and long term? What does your character want to accomplish? Are they trying to go home, to learn stuff, to build a new shadow-based society?
2. What are your current OOC goals for your character, in the short and long term? Do you want your character to succeed at what they're doing, or do you have different plans for them? What kind of arc are you looking to write?
3. What kind of cr would help you accomplish your goals in the game? Maybe your character needs enemies to clash with, or people to help them change their viewpoint, or just a friend. But long-term, what's going to make RP interesting for you?
4. Do you have any questions you want to ask of other players or mods? Whether you're trying to clarify something about the worldstate or you want to get a sense of others' opinions on xyz.
5. Is there anything else you'd like people to know about your character, your play style, etc? Et cetera.

And here's the C/P-able version:

Fill it out, post it, and respond to others! Easy. o/

We'd really like to know your thoughts and feelings! Either let us know in chat, here for public communicado, or here if you want your comment screened.

hey guys! i'll be dropping octavia for now. i hope to come back, though, possibly with a different character!

if you want to keep in touch until then, i'm over at

birdlaw or elle#2496 on dsicord!

sorrypardonyesthankyou

Just a quick note to let y'all know that I'll be taking a mini-vacation that'll probably shake out to being questionably around through Wednesday of next week. If you need to reach me, please feel free to PM this journal, pp on

prettydoes, or disco dove#9906. And until then, have a great weekend!

hEY YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSSS

hello, hi there! my name's gray, i love bad ideas, and i'm here with a guy whose entire canon revolves around trying not to make them. this is bigby wolf from the wolf among us, a telltale cyoa game based around the dc-vertigo (rip) series fables. you may not realize it yet, but you already know him: he's the big bad wolf your characters grew up reading about, now the sheriff of a town populated by similar fairy tale characters and monsters. he's pretty much like every 80s antihero (which is probably intentional because he's from 1986), being a big ol' constantly pissed off, exhausted Mess with a litany of issues to work past, but he has a sweeter side and a genuine desire to protect and help others. also, he can turn into a giant wolf. that's pretty cool, right?

anyway, you can reach me on discord at mondo#8901, or on plurk at

megadrive. ~~i'll probably hold off on giving him a proper ingame intro until the event so keep your eyes peeled for that.~~ never mind, i lied. 👀

There are two kinds of visuals in the world. There are lovely, thoughtful, artful visuals that give you a sense of character's mood and reality through carefully curated images meant to evoke deep meaning and sensuality.

We aren't talking about those kinds of visuals.

Post to this meme with a toplevel, possibly including your own shitpost visuals, and others will comment around with other shitposts they think fit your character. We're talking about screenshotsofdespair, dank memes, weird out of context screenshots, and gifs of cartoons from the 80s. Quality is not an option.

Although to be fair this series just came out a few years ago BUT STILL--

Heya everyone, I'm Ami! I'm bringing in a character that might be familiar to some: Koushirou Izumi from Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, and Digimon Adventure Tri because they just couldn't stop themselves from making more series ~~and I love it~~. For those that don't know him, he's a gigantic nerd who is definitely well-adjusted and not eccentric at all. But in all seriousness, he's very smart and a good boy, but someone should probably stop him from doing dangerous things in the name of science.

I'm excited to be here! You can find me on plurk at

amiasha, I joined the discord, and you can also PM me any time. Looking forward to rping with everyone! ♥

snikthatch

anyone else thinking they should have submitted more Indiana Jones references? just me?

anyway

I wanted to do some ~~totally selfish~~ plotting for Logan for the ruins discovery event log and then I realised it would be easier to make one for everyone so, pls, go nuts in here!

sorrypardonyesthankyou

quick details:

what: a player quest designed to find out whether the setting is sentient (and what kind of sentience we're talking about here)
when: july 5th
where: by the wall with the weird writing
who: ruth aldine + EVERYONE ELSE HOORAY

( and the tl;dr version... )

ACTIVITY REMINDER.

It's time for your monthly activity reminder!

Our activity post is always open and you can fill it out whenever you want throughout the month, but our grace period begins on the 25th of the month (aka today) and ends on the 4th. If you'd like, you can use the spreadsheet here to calculate your activity for the month.

Please make sure your threads use GMT. Bonuses should meet the criteria on the activity page, although there is an exception to the criteria this month. As mentioned here, you can submit threads dated to May from our TDM for bonus activity. While they need to meet the other criteria, these comments can be from May or June.

Fair warning that we may process activity as soon as it comes in during this time period, so if you don't want us to process a comment right away, mark it incomplete and we'll leave it until you're done or the 4th rolls around.

Our monthly shame corner goes up on the 5th, commemorating those who have idled. Idles cannot reapp to the game for three months or reclaim characters, so please fill out the drop form or we'll all be sad.

( CLICK ME, I'M AN ACTIVITY PAGE )

IN OTHER NEWS.

Just another quick reminder, this time for submissions!

Escape room submissions are due tomorrow, on June 26th. These threads do not need to be complete, as long as you detail whether it ends in a Break, Change, or Reflect scenario. So please remember to get those in here!

Ruins submissions are open here until Friday, June 28th. You get a submission in each category, which helps us worldbuild the location.

This location will go live with our next log, on June 29th.

We're also going to adjust the pricing on some of our rewards, namely to make some things cheaper. We weren't sure how that angle would shake out, but we'll have those all fixed up by the time activity closes.

i bring with me one surly boi. his name is haein and he's here to be USELESS. i'm so sorry in advance for all of his actions and words. i'm getting the sense that he is going to clash with... a lot of the people here. and that's okay because i live for negative cr and hate makes the world go 'round.

QUERY RESULTS.

As you may have predicted from our poll, we're going to push the dates for our current event back by a week. This means the new date for submissions is June 26th, while the log is now scheduled for June 29th. You can find both changes on our calendar and event posts!

You guys also (narrowly) voted for one event every three weeks. We may go a little longer or shorter depending on what an event entails, but this is the general framework you can expect moving forward (and, of course, if this proves too short, we'll opt for a monthly schedule).

We'll also try to post logs on weekends, since that seems to be when the bulk of the game has more free time.

FEEDBACK.

All that aside, if you guys have any other feedback for us, feel free to use this post! You can also converse amongst yourselves, whether it's about expectations, concerns, or anything else.

Alternatively, in the future, you can use our suggestions or mod contact pages.

Thanks for sticking with us as we work out kinks in the game!
