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!

Tell us about yourself: Hello my dears! I'm your friendly Australian mod who will never be remotely close to your timezone, but does her best to be around as much as possible. I attempt to tag daily when possible, however, modwork takes priority, so I may fall a bit behind from time to time.

Whether I'm online or not, you can feel free to hit me up about anything and everything! I'll always be sure to get back to you!

Character: Chara

achievementhunter of Undertale originas and Karamatsu

50shadesofburaza from the hit anime series, Osomatsu-san.

Tell us about them:

Chara is a twelve year old child currently going under the alias "Kidwun" in an attempt to ensure that those who don't know them For Reasons- continue to not know them. Polite, a little murdery, and very wary of adults (especially humans) CR with them is likely to be relatively neutral for some time, unless it takes a severe dive into the negative.

Karamatsu on the otherhand, is one of three sextuplets you'll see about the island- and just as useless as the other two. He's loud, he's flirty, he spends 100% of his life in his 'cool' leather jacket and sunglasses.... all in all, he's painful. He's surprisingly garnered a good amount of negative CR just by being himself, but really, he's harmless.

Current plans:

The majority of Chara's time up until this point has been ensuring that their "sibling" "Kittu" (Frisk) is...healthy, at least, as well as hanging around one Tim Wright. They've been slowly and carefully reaching out to people who they think will be useful, so it's very likely that they'll start jumping into explorations pretty soon, and bothering people even more. Any kind of CR is wonderful for them; though please be forewarned that genuinely positive CR takes a long while, whilst negative CR is far more likely to stick.

Karamatsu, on the other hand...is here to be a nuisance, really. Want this jerk around? Just ask. Some more positive CR for him would be great, but he doesn't lend himself to it very well, and likely needs a few people who are uh- assertive to stop acting like a total moron all the time.

Anything else:
