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.

Yeah, that's about what I was thinking. Like, maybe he bought a donut once, maybe not, but they're just kind of vaguely aware of each others existence.

But also Muffet comes from about a year after the end of a True Pacifist run, and after everything Frisk did for monsterkind and some time spent taking a hard look at her own moral decisions, she is... really not impressed with Asgore's 'kill six people and take their souls' plan. She's not angry with him about it, because it's over now and what would be the point, but she thinks that in retrospect it was a really shitty idea and that the rest of the kingdom shouldn't have gone along with it.

So definitely good to see another monster, but also very awkward for multiple reasons.

YEAH HARD SAME ON HIS PART /fingerguns

He comes from a second Neutral ending, so he's never seen the Barrier fall, and also he'll probably assume that Muffet thinks he's dead. He wasn't entirely sure that he was gonna tell the Underground he wasn't, so that's fun. He's also hatched a new Barrier-breaking scheme with a human mage he befriended in his last game, so at least he has that.

Ooh, nice. Muffet has heard from other people about their experiences with people turning up from different times and/or different versions of their own worlds, and is beginning to suspect that a lot more went on in her world than she remembers, so if she and Asgore wind up getting past the awkwardness long enough to compare notes on their respective timelines she'll be very interested in this.

Also she'll be genuinely happy to hear about him coming up with a different plan. Would've been nice if he'd done that before six people died, but it's still progress and she figures she can't judge him too hard since that's Sans' job she did also try to kill Frisk during their journey.

Well hey, he didn't have access to a friendly human mage in the Underground! But yeah, escaping on his own (even via kidnapping) leaves him with a lot more options to consider, and honestly it's not like he actually liked the murder plan anyway.
