OOC INTRO ( SEPTEMBER )

OOC INTRO: SEPTEMBER

State of the Game
Hello all, and thank you for an amazing inaugural month! We've been loving the response the game has been getting thus far and are hoping you all enjoy September just as much, if not more! We absolutely welcome and encourage you to share your insights as far as how you've found the game so far, positive and negative, and offer whatever feedback you feel is necessary!

Our intro log will be going up on the comms on September 3rd, but there are a couple important things that we want to cover before then:

1. Housing. By the time the intro log rolls around, the Storyteller will have amassed enough power to provide characters with housing, which will open up our Housing page for players to fill out depending on who they're rooming with. Said housing will be based around the vicinity of Ensō on a series of islets. You will find more information on the intro log and on the housing page!

2. Transportation. The mana pools double as a means of transportation. All your character must do is pick one of the narcissus flowers that now grow in abundance around the pool and toss it in, as per hinted at by a helpful limerick engraved nearby. Upon speaking their intended destination, they shall be whisked there with a flash of white light! At this time, as the islets are currently the only other locations with a mana pool, even failing to speak the destination will simply plop characters onto one of them at random.

3. Trigger Events. As more of the island is uncovered, we will be implementing this as a new mechanic! Certain squares may be likely to yield certain creatures or occurrences of note - which will then become an island-wide event, depending on the severity of it. There is no knowing when these sorts of events may crop up, but we will be trying our best to stagger them between larger events so there's not too much going on at once! Since, like the exploration squares themselves, they are RNG-based, these events have a random chance to occur at almost any time.

4. Item Requests. We've received a few questions regarding how Item Requests work! In general, we have to take into account what the Storyteller is capable of for any given request. You have until the end of the month to fill out non-compulsory AC. The OOC form is the only one necessary, but IC storytelling might be a nice way to get CR with people you're physically separated from. Those who use non-compulsory AC to make their requests do not need to use their AC immediately. You can instead regard the AC as a sort of coupon to cash in at your leisure.

5. 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.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of September - 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> Do you mind if people add you on plurk/discord/what have 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>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: jazzy
Contact: go for it vorpalkind | vorpalkind#7894, in the game's Discord, etc
Tell us about yourself: im a person who has a job and various obligations re: feeding and clothing myself, so im not the fastest tagger but im aight. the best compliment i've ever gotten was when someone came by my apartment and asked if i had 'any more of that dank ass sweet tea' and i think about it every day/whenever someone says dank. if you ever want to feel me shriek with laughter, just cosmically, as a phenomenon, reference any Apple Cabin Foods meme (http://imgur.com/gallery/bn29V). my most prominent username is a triple threat of castlevania/doctor who/homestuck referencing so that's basically the kind of artisanally crafted bullshit you can expect from me.
Character: Taako ohshitsweetflips
Tell us about them: You know, from TV? Taako is a trash elf wizard who is putting his transmutation skills to WORK. hit up the fantasy walmart, you don't even have to be wearing shoes or shirts to get service. Taako is the caution twin to Lup's arson twin status, but i wouldn't count on that to matter a whole lot.
Current plans: all CR is good CR. right now Taako is really working on the store and inventory, because that's a lot, but i do want him to explore more of the island and make hella arcana checks/get menaced by wildlife/etc for sure. basically the hell twins are just gonna try and take over the entire island via marketing and fire.
Anything else: this is my fursona, the feather star

[solperierat]

flds;fkjl;sd GOD hope everyone here likes fukkin seafood i guess?????

[jokeronace]

HI I ALSO PLAY FROM TAZ WHEN IM NOT PLAYING THIS FALLOUT BOY so i am very excited to hit up the taz cast in this game. yes.

like i said to laura jamil will be interested in the store! and any other shenanigans i am also in the all cr is good cr boat

[ohshitsweetflips]

yessssssss someone canon familiar! i've been waiting for this moment my entire life.

COME ON DOWN. FANTASY WALMART NEVER CLOSES except at nights and probably some days and also just whenever they feel like. I DON"T KNOW ANY FALLOUT BUT I WON'T LET THAT STOP ME

[jokeronace]

ITS OK its just. skyrim but in the nevada desert. thats about what you need to know considering hes a silent protag whose entire personality is based on lines you choose and stats you decide so hes basically a fandom oc LOL

BUT YEAH he will hit up fantasy walmart when he can \o/

[ohshitsweetflips]

ahahah it's funny bc i was just telling laura that fallout, dragon age, skyrim, and mass effect are all the same game to me, i'm so out of touch w modern gaming

fantasy walmart, where some of your standards are met. THE JINGLE NEEDS SOME WORK

[jokeronace]

LOL BASICALLY same shit different genre. i mean bioware does both dragon age and mass effect, then bethesda does both skyrim and fallout. if you ever do wanna check it out fallout new vegas is my favorite one, its got the best set up for the story of the fallouts imo

but does it got a deal for me... thats the question

[ohshitsweetflips]

i will keep that in mind. i mean how long has it been, it's probably close to retro gaming by now, i just gotta be fashionably late to all games

THE DEALS ARE OUT OF CONTROL try the gay chicken, it's half off

[jokeronace]

yeah LOL the graphics are realllllly old looking and bethesda is notorious for glitches but hey a fun game is a fun game

WELL HOW CAN I TURN DOWN A GAY CHICKEN SALE...

[tenthstreetbred]

One, I can't stop staring at that gif you posted, two, I love Taako, he's a good Taako, and I'd love to play with him sometime!

[ohshitsweetflips]

isn't the feather star amazing? don't look up basket stars though, they're eldritch and wrong

absolutely everyone needs cr w Taako! i'm not sure his store goods are mass effect quality though...

[tenthstreetbred]

it is Too Late, I already have seen Everything (omg they're so weird???? omg????)

That's fine, Shepard has gotten the message that everything she knows of home would probably burst into flames if it got here. At least now she has more clothes than just her bloody under armor! And besides, food is food no matter what and where, and I'm sure there's more she could find from this brand new Fantasy Walmart
