TIME TO MAKE FRIENDS.

FRENEMIES ARE IN.

Welcome to our newest CR meme!

We've wrapped up our first event and are currently in an interlude, so you guys can explore the ruins at your leisure (so this is a great time to enable your friends, wink wonk). We likely won't have another TDM until August and will probably stick to something of a bimonthly schedule for them.

Additionally, we have a comment at the top of this post for feedback, if you have any you'd like to provide.

If you have any questions, please direct them to our FAQ!

Totally fine! Thank you for taking the time to check in with us, we appreciate it.

While we're going to work on being clearer about how upcoming events work, if you had differing issues from Robin's (the bulk of their focus was on end results and how it interacted with other elements), would you mind elaborating on them? We're particularly interested in what kind of things you would've liked to know. We wanted to structure the game so there's no "wrong" answer to a character's actions, but if either that isn't clear or is stymieing players, we're prepared to work out how to best remedy this.

We addressed the comments about the Discord in more detail above, but we don't want anyone to feel obligated to use any non-Dreamwidth platform in order to enjoy their time in game. This shouldn't be an obstacle to any player and we'll do our best to adhere to this.

We're also planning to readjust our CR meme timing, so it coordinates with event logs, to see if this encourages people to reach out to each other on the game communities! Obviously, how people choose to plot with each other (and which platforms they use) is entirely up to them, but we'd like players to have better OOC community options than we've had so far.

Apologies for the slowness -- I mostly meant that things seemed a bit vaguely described and I think it made it a bit scary for players to play with the setting because they were afraid of messing up the things that you, the mods, created. I know that for me there was a lot of looking at the pages and scrolling back up to the logs to be like can I do this??? and sometimes coming away not totally sure and hoping that I wouldn't look like an idiot later lol.

I was excited to play in the setting but I was afraid of being told I'd screwed something up and I didn't feel like there was always enough information given for me to know how everything would work. Re: Robin's crit, the end results are definitely part of that. I feel like this is probably a feeling that can extend to other people, but obviously I can't speak for them; I just know that when you're playing in a complete fantasy world like this one (especially with a small player base, so lots of eyes are on you if you mess up!) there's more hesitance involved in writing.

I hope that makes sense... I'm kinda word-vomiting here, sorry.
