OOC INTRO ( JANUARY )

OOC INTRO: JANUARY

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! In December, the island of Chol made its debut, bringing with it dire hints as to the state of LifeAftr for the duration of January. We heavily encourage newcomers to read up on the specifics of Chol as linked above, as this will be relevant in the intro log. We've loved the feedback we've gotten about the game thus far, positive and negative, and encourage you to contact us whenever you feel it is necessary!

Our intro log will be going up on the comms on January 5th. Until then, a few quick points:

1. Deaths. Remember that, in the event that your character perishes, to let us know so that we can take a note of it, whether or not it counts for your character's total death count! If you're having trouble thinking of a penalty, we can definitely provide one for you. Remember to use the Deaths page for Death Penalty removal as well, once that time is up! An event in the latter half of January will come with a high risk of death, meaning that the span of time for death penalties will be significantly reduced

2. AC. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind people to tag their characters in the comms. This is the only compulsory form of AC we have, but after the first few months, we are going to stop warning people for forgetting to tag their character. Characters who fail AC will be swept. An additional reminder, also, to make use of the drop post should your time with LifeAftr come at an end instead of simply idling out!

3. Additional goodies. Newcomes showed up with some extra treats in their knapsacks, to better prepare them for the cold and dark days ahead. This should have been noted in everyone's acceptance notices! Please let us know if, for some reason or another, you didn't receive these particular goods.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of January - for new players to introduce themselves, for old players to meet and greet, and for general plotting to occur! If you want to chat or keep up with game updates, we also have both a plurk and a discord channel!

Go ahead and use the template below if you haven't introduced yourself already!

Say Hello With This Handy Dandy Template!

<b>Player:</b> <b>Contact:</b> Plurk, Discord, whatever it is you use, as well as if you mind if people add you! <b>Tell us about yourself:</b> Timezones? Preferred pronouns? Favorite dank memes? We’re all ears! <b>Character:</b> Character name and journal here! <b>Permissions:</b> If you have any permissions posts for character interactions or powers, here would be a good place to list them! <b>Tell us about them:</b> Nothing too fancy is required, but here's where you can list things like permissions posts and inventories, as well as a brief introduction/overview of your character and how they're adjusting to LifeAftr. <b>Current plans:</b> Looking for positive/negative CR? Been up to any exploration? Need to get out more? Remember that forming groups is the best way, ICly and OOCly, to start getting CR and affecting the setting! <b>Anything else:</b> You’re just going to use this section to post an awful gif, aren’t you. Well have at it, you shitposters.

MAYBE YOU ARE WONDERFUL AND SO IS DRIFTYBEAN/TIM/GABE POWER TRIO GOD!!!

i don't have any definite plans as usual i'm sorry i'm gonna wing it all your way when the time comes. But I do want Ren to try and show Tim some hiding spots?? And also keep teaching Gabe about cats?? Maybe play dumb games with him?? And also more cute shit with Drifter, as usual. Hurt me in the best way please.

[hyperlit]

tbh there is So Much that we have infinite options, it's true

once the eternal night hits the drifter will be very about making sure ren is ok!!! they wanna protecc her from the worst of it and i have no idea how well that's likely to go lmao

gabe will pretend he does not like dumb games. this is a lie. he loves dumb games. he's also discovering that he likes cats, as he has never met cats before this moment and is realizing that cats are good. which obviously they are, he was just slow on the uptake.

TIM ALREADY LOVES AND WANTS HER SAFE OH GOD he's a hospital baby and so he's like "nooooo one else should feel this way ever" HE JUST KEEPS GATHERING CHILDREN HES NOT SURE WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING BUT IT DOES

[catpiper]

NICE NICE NICE!!! Ren's gonna lowkey be all up in Drifter's business to make sure they're okay the entire time anyway, try and get them to stay back when shit hits the fan, throw...sticks at them...because nothing deters her from this i'm sorry. they're alive now and she will keep it that way.

AND GOOD BECAUSE REN WILL TEACH HIM TO LIKE!! DUMB GAMES!! She'll make it her mission to find a game he admits to liking which is bound to be gr8t. Now that he likes esp kitty she would probably die for him so that's fine too.

AND TIM IS A GOOD UNCLE LOOK AT HIM #ihatedoctors fanclub and they can be the founding members of it. Let her hide you!! Behind a snowman, probably.

[hyperlit]

look at this point tim is just going to organize, a kid picnic, for all the kids, because he loves them all and wants them all safe, everyone is invited

;LJ;LKASJ; REN IS VERY PRECIOUS IM GOING TO CRY LOTS JUST!! ABOUT HER AND HOW MUCH DRIFTER LOVES HER!!!

(also i saw that she made a flower crown for the storyteller and i dieD)

[catpiper]

tim u goodling look at you!! god!! please feed all these traumatized kids.

ALSO REN LOVES DRIFTYBEAN SO MUCH REN WILL PROTECT THEM WITH ALL HER TINY DYING MIGHT!!! SHE WILL MAKE SURE THEY LIVE SOMEHOW!! SHE WILL HIDE UNDER THEIR CAPE AND GO WITH THEM FOR AWHILE!! She will hold their hand!! YEAH.

i'm so glad they accepted her trash gift. best day ever. a good bunny deserves a good crown.

[postictal]

WE'RE REQUIRING THAT THEY WEAR THE CROWN FOR HER AT ALL TIMES AND THEY WILL BECAUSE SHE'S GOOD

[catpiper]

THEY ARE TOO GOOD. PLEASE. She will be so happy. The happiest lil dying bean in the whole beanfield.
