Community Update - Mod Changes & More

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Hey there!

This is Nia, Sly, and Nat. We just wanted to get in touch with you to say we have talked to Allie, Sil, and Umi about taking the reins of the wonderful game they created and helping it keep afloat. With their blessing, we are excited to take on this responsibility!

Please rest assured that a lot of stuff will stay status quo as the game already runs smoothly. Below you can find a breakdown of the changes.

Obviously we'd love to hear from you. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email us.

While we plan to keep a lot of the game the same, there are some changes we plan to implement in an attempt to bring new life into the game:

Application

» Applications are going to be streamlined to allow for easier application process while still maintaining integrity for the community.

»You have more freedom to app powerful characters as long as you've had time in game to demonstrate you understand how to temper such a character within the sandbox.

»At least on a trial basis, we are removing the character cap. Most people don’t want a lot of characters, and we trust those that do to know their limits.

»Check in will remain on the 1st and 15th of every month.

»There will no longer be assigned threads for new arrival, but rather be on a first come, first serve basis (or you may choose to have some agreed upon arrival scene). Any new arrivals not tagged by a player in good time will be tagged by a mod; no new characters will be left hanging.

Game play mechanics: Otherworld

»There will be some set rooms that go to set otherworlds accessible at all times.

»Unoccupied rooms will be open to 'malfunction' and open to worlds players have full control of. These can be temporary ones or ones that remain for a length of time.

»Related to the unoccupied rooms, please feel free to have things/creatures enter the Inn from a ‘malfunction’ room so your characters can have an adventure without having to leave the Inn.

Game play mechanics: Journals

We’d like to just move most play into the strangetrip comm, regardless of where it occurs. Private threads, EPs, GPs, network communications, all of it. Please feel free, though, to play however you want! If you prefer journals and linkdrops, go for it. They’re just not mandated anymore.

Thanks, guys, for taking over. Looking really forward to seeing where things go from here. :)

Glad someone decided to take up the reins!

Thank you! We're happy to do it.

Very much with our blessing, and the changes come with that as well. I'm pleased to see all of them and hope that you'll be able to unstick some of our stuck. ;)

Because I'm pretty wiki-savvy, I'd be happy to help make any changes you want to the wiki and/or show you how to do them.

Much love,

A

LOL, you know how wiki-dumb I can be! I may have to bug you at some points unless Nat and Nia let me hide behind them.

Huzzah!
