OOC INTRO ( DECEMBER )

OOC INTRO: DECEMBER

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! November saw the introduction of our first island outside the mainland, Monsun, which has brought tides of change both good and bad to the relationships between our player characters, between NPCs, and more! We heavily encourage newcomers to read up on the psychological effects of Monsun, as this will be relevant in the 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 December 3rd. 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. Communication. Due to some resourcefulness and the ingenuity of our resident Severs-the-Threads player (stoleyoursweetroll), we have a beautiful new network community (lifenet) for your use! Bear in mind that the network currently operates in more of a bulletin board capacity, with all the benefits and drawbacks that entails! Be sure to join this new comm if you haven't already!

3. 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!

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of December - 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: Owl
Contact: rowlet
Tell us about yourself: CST, they/them, profoundly boring!
Character: Zacharie/creditless
Permissions: Extraordinarily mild 4th wall permissions, please! Tl;dr Zach is aware he was created as a video game character and while he believes your character is definitely real and now so is he, he still slips into the terminology. Like the example, calling someone 'high definition' would be kind of 'you're hot.'
Tell us about them: Zacharie is a merchant looking to trade some of his wares he showed up with for the materials to make a shack a home. By which he supposes he means he wants to live decently as long as he keeps living, much to his surprise. Zacharie is going to be a very content and easygoing guy on this island-- and slowly, it'll sink in no matter how many fusterclucks there are, how much better it was than back home.
Current plans: Zacharie wants to get some trade going! Mostly, this will just be between you and him. He will be a dedicated forager and collect as many knick-knacks as possible. He arrived with several 'cure wounds/poison' items, along with two baseball bats that he'd be willing to trade as weapons/for besbaw.
Anything else:

What do you mean their world was bad everyone was dead.

I know I've rambled to you over Discord but I can't wait to see where their CR goes. It'll be fun! And possibly painful. But fun.

Ren is a dedicated garbage collector and would happily trade with him. She's got some useful items in her inventory he might like?? Or they could hunt for junk together!

THEY CAN HUNT THE JUNK and also trade yes A+++
