OOC INTRO ( APRIL )

OOC INTRO: APRIL

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! You've chosen quite the opportune time to materialize on our collective horizon; last month saw your fellow adventurers implementing a haphazard rescue from a very strict sort of civilization, much to their chagrin. Following that debacle, they 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 vegetation.

April's intro log will be taking place on the brand new island of Ziziphus, so we recommend that you read up on the new island over HERE, as it will be relevant on this month's 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 April 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!

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 we have stopped 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. Search Requests. Boy, it's been a while since those have been strictly necessary! While Monsun was rather small, Chol and Ai'tuoh both had plot elements that were rooted in the civilizations inhabiting their respective islands rather than the islands themselves. Ziziphus and its overall relevance to the plot will be much more similar to the central island of Ensō: how much players get from the island will depend on how much they explore. With that in mind, make sure to account for the satisfaction of other players, as well as IC limitations to how much your character can reasonably be expected to chart in one day; if they encounter some serious dangers, they may need a few days to recover before setting off once more.

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.

Tell us about yourself: CST SHE/HER. I talk about my pets and rp mostly! Feel free to add.

Character: Ren catpiper
Permissions: Empathy opt out/info
Tell us about them: Dying girl from a post-apocalyptic world where everyone is dead. She's grown into being a super curious individual that wants to be near e v e r y o n e. She's a literal raccoon that collects trash and thinks that shiny rocks are awesome treasures. Generally ambles around, likes to play games, to be around people and hold hands. Her special talents include hiding from anything that remotely scares her, being a cat whisperer, playing tag, and making flower crowns. She might accidentally steal from you!! But she's doing her best and has a good heart and wants everyone to be happy. Also has a cat friend she will happily ramble about forever. Here's her inventory. Surprise, it's mostly garbage!

Current plans: Open for any kind of positive/negative CR, search requests always a-okay, though she's gonna be sitting out this island until she's sure it's relatively safe. This month's big plans are baseball playing and being an awful hooligan. HMU FOR EVERYTHING. I'm always game. Add me. Let's do stuff!!

Anything else:

[suspecteverything]

Jullien absolutely needs to meet her. It would be so adorable.

[catpiper]

Heck yeah they do!!

I'll keep my lil eye out for your peanut this month and hit that sucker up. She actually goes to monkey camp quite a bit to visit Ichimatsu, so if nothing else they could meet up during that!

[suspecteverything]

That'll always work. And Jules does a lot of exploring, so there could be opportunities there too.

[catpiper]

Totally!! I'll throw this dumb dumb child at him. It's gonna be Great.
