expiationmodsMOD UPDATE
Hello! After some consideration and a lot of conversing over the past week, a new mod team has been selected to transition from London's leadership to the new leadership.
The new mods are as follows:
Jenni- player of Akechi and Juri Kri- player of Noel |
These are going to be the main mods of the game, with Elise as the head mod. However, that is mostly in title only -- the duties of the game will be split three ways in this respect. Elise is a head mod in the case of tie-breakers amongst the mod team and organizing the scattered thoughts of our new team.
We also have helper mods!
Amm- player of Mizuki |
Jade will be assisting in planning ideas for the plot, as well as events and event organization. Amm will be assisting in updating info and pages on beastiary and the like for player reference. Do not come to our helper mods for modly questions. While they are privy to the workings of the game, they don't wish to have full on modly responsibilities, so please keep consider them as
UPCOMING INFO
SCHEDULING / POTENTIAL CHANGES
The new mod team has played around with the scheduling a little bit. To support players' ability to get AC in an easier time and keep the game moving, we are changing the event to the second week of the month. That way players have ample time to react, plan, and coordinate their characters for the month. The date for this month is going to look a little different, because of the change in moderators, but we plan for the event to go up no later than July 14th, with the end results of the event being posted a week later. The TDM will go up in the second week of August, and so on and so forth.
For reference, this is a draft of the calendar, so everyone can see our proposed schedule on paper:

This gives a view of the next three months, and will be updated accordingly to player plots/changes and the like. We will create a calendar page that is public so that players have access to this info on a normal basis. However, as this is just a draft / test the days / time we post them are changeable. We'd like to hear from you on what time of the day or what day of the week would be best for mod updates / event posts for the playerbase. While obviously we can't accommodate everyone, we'd still like to hear your preferences!
THIS MONTH'S AC
While we understand that there is a lot of changes happening to the game this month, people are a little concerned/anxious about them. We completely understand this feeling, especially as new players. We don't know the entire playerbase after all, so there may be some who are like "who the hell are these people? are they going to keep the game running? will it be worth my time to stay?" Transitions in rp are super difficult! So because of this, we are giving players the option to merely check in for AC this month. Players who are able to complete AC and pass will be rewarded with either a private lore / worldbuilding hint or a free regain of their choosing. Note that anything super extravagant will be nerfed or diminished in size. If you're unsure of whether your regain falls under that umbrella, just check in with the mods, and we will work it out for you. The worst we can do is say no!
INFO PAGES
As we mentioned in the beginning of the post, we Ammare going to slowly and surely going to be making a post with various flora / fauna from character's worlds. These will be up to the players to submit -- and we will start building a database of creatures both good and bad from their worlds. Even if you've mentioned before an animal or plant from a character's home world before, please put it here so that we have it all in one place. Once we have a page for it, we will make sure to show everyone.
Form for flora / fauna here:
We will have a comment for you to put this under below, so please put it there!One of our other orders of business is going to be expanding and putting more info into the city of Aldrip. This will also go into a post that we'll link when it's live. This will include what's in the city, a potential city map, and what the npcs do on a day-by-day basis. If there's anything that's been established by your character via regains or anything else, please put your establishment with a small blurb about under the comment marked for it. In the coming months, we will be revamping and tweaking our faqs slightly. As we're opening the comments to questions at the end, you can either submit it on this post, or go to the post here.
FEEDBACK
Lastly, we want to hear from you!! It doesn't matter if you're new to the game or not, we want to hear from our players on what they'd like to see in the game. If you have any questions / concerns / comments please feel free to comment here. While we are transitioning to new mods and have gotten the overall plot of the game, we're still malleable and will listen. We can't promise that every idea will be used, given what we've already established, but it's possible that some ideas can be adapted or changed if we decide to go with it. Again, the worst we can say is say no!
London put a lot of hard work into this game, so this isn't to say we're going to erase everything they've done. But we know that this playerbase is full of great ideas and are willing to see this game succeed. There have been ideas that have been talked to potential mods already, and even if you've said them before, please put them here, so we have all of them in one place. If there is any crit for this game, please put it here too. We won't be able to fix what we don't know is wrong, and while we have already outlined some things the new team would like to fix, we may have overlooked something. We stepped up because we love our players and didn't want to see London's hard work go to waste -- so please tell us what would make the game better for you.
We can't wait to hear from you and get this ball rolling!
