Wonderful Worlds OOC

It's Day 3 and that means Activity Check is up! Yes, these still exist, but the mods-do-everything method is no longer working out, so we've decided to change the format to a roll call. From now on, everyone who wishes to remain in the game need only post to the AC posts saying so!

In addition, we've rolled out several things that everyone has been waiting for, namely:

An update to the NPCs page featuring the mythical NPC app! Which includes the app for canon TWEWY characters and the app for Reapers to become promoted to Officer.

An update to the Pin Trader featuring a new trade for the stronger pins that have been available as rewards over the past weeks. But where did the Scarletite go? That's a surprise for another day!

And finally, as Sword has stepped down as an administrative mod and become a plot helper instead, I'm putting out a call for another mod. Anyone interested in the position should contact Des through the usual channels. And that's all, folks!

Des-mod here! I bet you all thought we forgot to do AC, huh? Well - maybe. But I come with changes to the system that I think will be popular: We've decided to lift AC requirements for RG characters henceforth!

There are many reasons for this, one of which being that the way everyone plays here, the plot is very focused on the Reaper's Game, and it's been tougher than we originally imagined to foster an active RG alongside that. So we thought this would be a fair compromise to anyone who wanted to play an RGer, as well as broaden the appeal of the role. The selling point of the RG was always that it had more freedom than other roles; this seemed like the next logical step. Think of it as a DR within a game, if you will.

As for our Reapers and Players that we haven't seen much of, there's only one:

Sabata

Please post, tag or hiatus if you would like to stay in the game! Thank you!

Hello, hello! Des mod here with some important announcements!

First of all, Day 3's Activity Check is being postponed to Day 4! This is because of 1) how close it is to the last AC because of the extension and 2) It's just more convenient to catch up next week since it'll be Thanksgiving and such. So, everyone breathe easy for now! (Alternatively, tag like crazy!!)

Second, we're introducing a new page that can be used at any time... Position Changes! This is for use any time your character switches up their role in the game, so that we can keep track of it by a better means than word-of-mouth, and also so that it can be done at any time!

Having said that, we noticed that we currently have about twice as many Reapers as we do Players in this game, making it a bit unbalanced. So! We're asking if anyone would be willing to switch their character from Reaper to Player? We're not sure what kind of incentives we could provide, but we'd only need a couple to get it balanced again. We realize it's a longshot, though, so nobody should feel obligated to switch. It's cool even if no one wants to, but we thought we'd ask anyway! In any case, we'd appreciate it if you'd read the page to see what it's about. Thanks!

It's Day 7, and you know what that means - our first real Activity Check!

... Except since the game is still so small, you guys still don't have to do anything because I can keep track of it myself. And so, without further ado, here are the characters that haven't posted or gone on hiatus since Day 4:

Riku
Sora
Kairi
Dipper

AC is one thread of any length. If you'd like to stay, please either thread or post a hiatus by W2D1. Thanks!

Before I go, though, an announcement: Kiku-mod has dropped, so I'm in the market for a new co-mod. Ideally, a co-mod would be willing to do a share of any of the work that I do, such as managing the reserves page and accepting apps, and would be creative enough to help GM and make up missions from time to time. And of course, to help me make modly decisions to make the game better. Any coding ability would also be a plus. Interested parties, please contact me either on this journal or any other of my listed Des-contact means.

They're open! But along with that, we have a special announcement - they're staying open, because we are throwing out the app cycle system for now!

The system was originally coined so that everyone would always arrive on Day 1 of each week. However, in light of the fact that we decided to allow RGers to die and enter the Reaper's game in the middle, it seemed silly to deny new applicants that choice as well, especially since an IC week is pretty long OOC and this will just be better for the growth of the game.

With a new app system comes a new reserve system, and so now the expiration date for reserves will be a week after the reserve was made. All current reserves will expire a week from today on October 13.

And that's all! Happy apping!

Okay, the mission's about to go up, so let me explain the format:

Mission: This is fairly obvious; it's the meat of the text that Players will receive, giving the clue that will lead to the true mission objective. (We will not be writing in the IC time limits and the assurance that failure leads to erasure, but assume they all come with that message unless otherwise stated.)

Time Limit: IC-wise, Players will receive a specific time limit, which will appear on their bodies (on humanoids it would be their hand, but non-humanoids can choose a place that'd be more easy to see.) However, as it would be a hassle to try to calculate the time it would reasonably take to get around and do things, here we will simply categorize it as Very Short, Short, Medium, Long, or Very Long. Where Very Short would be, say, under 10 minutes, and Very Long could be several hours. This is just to give you an idea of how much pressure your characters should feel while doing the mission.

Noise Plane: Comes in two categories, "Solo" and "Duet." If it is "Solo", Noise inhabit only one Plane. They can be erased by an individual working alone, and Partners will fight together on the same plane. If it is "Duet", Noise exist between planes, and a Partner will be required to erase them. Partners will be on separate planes and will be able to hear, but not see each other. In other words, "Duet" is like the DS version.

Wall Instructions: Describes assigned places where walls should be set up. A Reaper can then reply to the post with one of those places in their subject titles. A "Key Wall" is a Wall that's blocking necessary areas for the mission. They will sometimes have specific objectives rather than just letting the Reaper choose it for themselves. "Sealing off" means that the wall is meant to be impassable, so the players don't get too lost.

Wall Rewards: The player(s) that clear a wall receive pins, typically support or healing types, as well as money or items.

Reaped Rewards: If a Player defeats a Reaper's noise, they receive a pin, typically an offense pin. (This does not stack if it was a wall objective.)

Mission Rewards: All players that survive a mission receive these rewards.

Any questions about the mission may be directed here! Have fun, guys!

Greetings, everyone! Get excited, because we're all going to...
