ANNOUNCEMENTS
This post seems a little overwhelming, but I promise it's not! I hope it's not... ETA I'LL PLURK ABOUT THIS WHEN PLURK COMES BACK DARN IT PLURK.
SIGNIFICANT
!! The social bingo's turn-in has been extended until Tuesday, 12:01AM PST (ie Monday night going into Tuesday night for most of us.) I've updated the main bingo post with this new information.
• Guess what—THE TAKEN CHARACTERS PAGE IS OFFICIALLY UPDATED, HECK YEAH! If you notice any errors or the like, comment and I shall work my magic to correct it. There's also a game-wide character count at the top!
• Your characters now have tags, tags for you to tag posts with! (Why are there so many applications of the word "tag" in RP? Also now I want to change the community layout seeing how clunky the tags look oh no.) ANYWAY! As I reassured before, I've gone through and tagged any previous posts that your character engaged with, so you don't have to worry about going back and doing that. From here on out, please tag any post you play in! If you'd like for me to alter your tag, that is a can do, just comment here!
!! NO ACTIVITY REQUIREMENT THIS MONTH! I figured this would be a decent courtesy since the game just started. I mean, it's only halfway through the month, but don't sweat it if you don't meet the quota or manage to get your character out!
ADDITIONAL NOTES
• All businesses (including clinic/garrison/library ofc) now have giant windows on the front of them, either in the form of shop windows or tall fancy windows or whatever. In fact, pretend it was always like this; I'm going to integrate this into the shop descriptions after I post this, actually! Now, this is probably the weirdest thing? KIND OF ODDLY SPECIFIC?? MAYBE POINTLESS? But I thought it'd be nice to kind of... have this so, say, your character can easily notice if someone else in in a shop in a non-creepy and hopefully helpful way. IDK MAN THIS MIGHT SAVE A LIFE WHO KNOWS.
• At the top of the OOC community we now have a stickied monthly event post that will tell you what is happening this month and what HAS happened this month! Past events will be greyed out and we'll even link to the relevant posts; and if you want to run a labyrinth you can comment and we'll add it! This information will always be under a cut, that way you don't have to scroll past a giant list to see the recent posts in the OOC community. And don't worry, we'll still be announcing things, we'll just ALSO be adding them to that post!
COOL REMINDERS
We have a suggestions post! Please abuse this post and provide all sorts of suggestions, whether they relate directly to the game or are downright selfish desires for things you'd like to see happen in labyrinths (heck yeah self indulgence, i love self indulgence!) Your suggestions could even be "I want my character to have to face their fears" or "It'd be fun to actually explore and fight monsters in a labyrinth" AMONG OTHER SUGGESTIONS!! You can even just make a giant bullet list of things you want. Maybe you know a labyrinth you'd LIKE to see but you don't have the energy/means to run it, so you want to suggest it with the hopes that someone adopts the idea and puts it into motion.
On the flip side, maybe you'd like to comment on a game mechanic or suggest something or other. I can't promise I'll adhere to everything, but I'll always take stuff into consideration. To wrap it up, the suggestions post is unscreened because I thought it'd be cool for others to jump in +1 or whatever if they want, or discuss and add to it. Otherwise, if you really don't want your suggestion to be seen by others (which is cool, I getcha!) you can still shoot it on over to the email given on the suggestions page.
!! You are allowed to run your own labyrinths, in whatever shape or form you'd like to run them in! Make it an exploradora, take a game you ran elsewhere and transform it into a labyrinth, etc etc! By the end of the month we intend to have a labyrinth guide up (which isn't to restrict your ideas but moreso to help... guide, like a guide!) However, if you want to run a labyrinth before then, we only have two rules: 1) there must always be at least a sense of exploration for the character—whether they can generally interact with the environment OR they're passing through different rooms, and 2) there must always be a treasure at the end for everyone! And that's it, that's the extent of the rules to running a labyrinth.
...I think that's all! Future announcement posts probably won't be anywhere this tedious or overwhelming. COMMENT HERE WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, THOUGH! And thank you for your patience, I hope you're having/had a great weekend!
