OOC INTRO ( MARCH )

OOC INTRO: MARCH

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! You've arrived on the cusp of some brand new developments in terms of plot and exploration both! Islanders last month were given the opportunity to vote for whichever destination they wanted to travel to next, and the decision boiled down to an island that contains civilization. You can read up on the brand new island of Ai'tuoh over HERE!

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 March 4th. 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!

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; it helps us out a lot!

3. Drops. Sometimes games don't click, or RL takes precedence, and that's fine! In those cases, we would vastly prefer it if you used the drop post instead of idling out of the game, as LifeAftr's AC system means it will take up to two months for you to be removed from the comms.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of March - 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.

Player: Vanessa
Contact: My plurk is PBmajesty and my Discord is pbmajesty#1574! You'll probably see me futzing around in the LifeAftr chat though I will say that if you add me on Discord I am only very sporadically on there so if you want to reach me quickly, plurk is your best bet.
Tell us about yourself: My pronouns are she/her, my timezone is EST, and I'm a pretty slow tagger overall so if you're good with backtagging, things will be good!
Character: Commander Shepard tenthstreetbred
Permissions: Right here!
Tell us about them: Shepard is a space marine from the far future where the entire Milky Way galaxy is getting munched on by giant robotic space squids. She's managed to save said galaxy from said squids but ultimately died in the process and now she's here! Her time in LifeAftr has been mostly trying to figure out what brought them all here, why, and how she can help get everyone back home where they belong. She's also barely talked about any of her problems because she's just Like That but boy howdy do they weigh on her.
Current plans: I'm good with all kinds of CR with Shepard, especially CR that will make her open up more about where she came from and the things she has going on with her. I'd also love more CR with characters who really want to tear apart the mystery of LifeAftr and figure it out together! Plus when we get back to exploration I'd love more of that too. Basically, give me all of your CR, thanks.
Anything else:

Shion here has only been in life-aftr a month but he is very much wanting to tear apart the mystery and get everyone home. He is a crau and so has already done the whole escaping from a weird world and fixing everything thing once. He definitely wants to at least gather people and share info. So these two could definitely meet.

[tenthstreetbred]

Ohhh a CRAU! Shepard has met a couple characters like that and they always intrigue her on that front since oh man, there are MORE weird places people are trapped in???? So yes, they absolutely should meet!!! She'd love to have his viewpoint on everything

[suspecteverything]

She and Jullien should meet just so he has another person here who understands the annoying lack of technology here. He's not talking, you have no phones or lights or computers. He's in her boat. Where the heck is my space ship and why is there no programmable/hackable technology to help me figure this place out.

[tenthstreetbred]

Omg yes please, Shepard would love more people to complain about the lack of technology here with. Especially since it's such a drastic drop from what she knows to here.

[suspecteverything]

We'll have to find a way for Jullien to warm up to her first, but after that it should be easy!

[tenthstreetbred]

Lol I look forward to it!! Shepard has a tendency to end up befriending prickly types, both in game here and in her canon, so this will be fun!

[suspecteverything]

He's very prickly on the outside given his level of paranoia. Inside he's the sweetest thing though. Just with a very quick temper.
