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: Nikki
Contact: nikkernoodle and idk on discord but I'm sometimes in the game chat so hmu!
Tell us about yourself: Hiya! I'm Nikki, and you'll find me over in Central European Standard Time in Germany. She/her pronouns for me. I'm 29 and am a Struggling Opera Singer who teaches English while waiting for my Big Break (tm).
Character: Newt Geiszler ohnehalfte
Tell us about them: Newt is a veteran of two horror games (havenrpg and hadriel) and is a bit bitter about it. Aside from that, he's very curious and enthusiastic about things he knows nothing about, and will happily ask your character about anything that interests him, even if your character doesn't want to talk about it. He's also a huge nerd and has a large pop culture/anime/etc field of reference, so if you'd like Newt not to recognize your character, drop me a line over here. Newt's pretty bad at social cues, so he often misses a lot of warning signs with people. He's also very impulsive and makes snap good/bad decisions rather easily.
Current plans: I HAVE NOOOOO PLANS Nothing concrete anyway, other than Newt wants to figure out some sort of communication system. I'm pretty much open for anything!

THIS IS GONNA GET PLATONICALLY GAY AS BALLS I CAN ALREADY TELL

nb4 Newt gets nightmares and climbs in Wade's bed like the manchild he is

[hellawrath]

so I hope it's safe to assume this nerd stops by the store a lot so they can all drag the Storyteller a bunch

ALSO GIVE THE TWINS INSTAGRAM NEWT

[ohnehalfte]

HECKIN YEAH that's super safe to assume, newt would love to come to fantasy island costco and drag the storyteller and complain about how much of a pain in the ass they are

HE'S TRYING....IT MIGHT BE ON DRIED LEAVES FOR A BIT, BUT HE'S WORKING ON IT
