INTRO / CR MEME

Welcome to Expiation, where the points aren't real and absolutely don't matter. But you do, and we're happy to have you! Please note that this intro entry serves additionally as a CR meme, so you are free to use it to say hello, tell us a bit about yourself, talk about your character, and potential plans for the game.

As a reminder, Expiation runs on bi-monthly events. Please note that all players / characters accepted in March are exempt from the March AC. For everyone else, March AC is due by 31 March, 2023. Halfway through the day AC closes, we will give one (1) warning on both plurk and the OOC community for anyone who hasn't submitted (this will also be linked in the player-run discord).

To give you a very general overview of how the upcoming timeline will be...

17 March - Event #1
31 March - Character Action Poll for Event #1 (This will be further explained on the event post.)
14 April - Results of Action Poll for Event #1 + Game Environment Alterations
15 May - ATP / Enable Me for Expiation's TDM #3
19 May - Event #2
22 May - TDM #3

Where are the reservation / app dates for our next cycle? Our poll is still being used and looked at. At present, most participants don't have a preference on how we adjust dates to better suit enablemeplz, which is posted the second Saturday of each month.

With that said, we currently have more votes for 1 week forward, rather than 2 weeks, which would place reserves to open on 03 April, and applications to open on 10 April. We will, of course, adjust this accordingly as we get closer to the end of the month.

One more reminder:
After this upcoming app cycle, our TDMs, Reserves, and Applications will open on a bimonthly schedule, opposite of event months.

This means the next TDM, Reserve, and App process will begin at the tail end of May 2023.

EVENT NOTES:

The Short of It:
The units used to preserve food in Aldrip have malfunctioned and Aldrip's townspeople face starvation. Characters are encouraged to lend a hand in the crisis, though of course, can choose not to. (Don't be that person. Or do...! We're not your parents.)

Prompts Include:
🧊 Fixing the refrigeration units. Potential electric shocks during repair.

🍳 Cook a thing. Burn a thing. Hunt some animals. Fish some... fish? Dry / smoke some food? Have a large, improvised grillfest? Please feed the people. They are probably hungry.

🤝 Travel through Pessiria Forest with Aldrip locals to meet the Rumpiturians and barter for goods. (TW: They're a people with snake-like features. There will be reference links.)

💰 Alternatively, steal supplies from the Rumpiturians instead of bartering. Or steal some of their other things. (TW: They are still people with snake-like features.)

👻 Pessiria Forest creepy things. No one will be outright hurt by this. Select characters sensitive to ghostly, phantom apparitions, and related will have nightmares regarding the forest for an undetermined amount of time.

❓ The party returning from Pessiria will be minus some people (read: locals, not Chosen; this will tie into a future event). Speculate, count heads, do whatever you need to in order to sleep at night.

Until then, please make use of the below form for all of your intro and CR meme needs! In the future, we will include a Table of Contents section that will contain intro links for all of our new players for convenience.
