ANNOUNCEMENTS



Good day, dear Restless! As always, we aim to adjust and improve Nightfell whenever possible, which is why we'd like to run a poll by you regarding the future of the game's AC. Now that our first round is over, we realize just how intangible and confusing the requirements may seem to be, and it's a fine line to walk for everyone. To remedy this, we've decided to ask you what you think and what kind of system you'd prefer for the next rounds.

Because Plurk is limited as far as options and characters go, we'll detail the answers here. Feel free to vote on Plurk, reply to this post, or both!

A.

β–Ί We keep the same system, but clarify the guidelines:

  • A brief summary of what your character has been up to that doesn't rely mostly on handwaved actions, links optional
  • As we keep an eye out whether threads are provided, we should be able to find evidence of 1. an effort to branch out (ie. tagging a few people and/or avoid exclusively tagging inboxes/castmates), 2. involvement that amounts to more than a few days of active play within the month, and 3. tags that aren't mostly comprised of one-liners
  • Ongoing threads are fine, but tagging them once or twice every month, for instance, hardly displays a desire to be engaged with the setting/other players
  • We don't expect anyone to be all over the place all the time. Check-in games are easier to squat, and it's one of the reasons why it's important to us to ensure that players do have the time and desire to participate, especially because AC is relatively easy. These guidelines are implemented in an effort to counter potential squatting and to be fair to current players as well as future applicants
  • Notify us before the last week of a month if extenuating circumstances prevent you from playing


  • B.

    β–Ί A mininum of 2 or 3 threads, a brief summary of what your character's been up to, no comment count required. A couple lines are enough, just to give us an idea of potential consequences your character might face.

    C.

    β–Ί 8+ comments across 2-3 threads + a brief summary. A couple lines are enough, just to give us an idea of potential consequences your character might face.

    D.

    β–Ί 16+ comments across 2-4 threads + a brief summary. A couple lines are enough, just to give us an idea of potential consequences your character might face.

    E.

    β–Ί OTHER (please specify!)

    We'll consider your input and feedback and do our best to find a decent compromise for everyone based on your insight! We've been having a blast with you guys and we're really just trying to make sure that everyone's on the same wavelengths. Thank you for your time!

    ANNOUNCEMENTS


    Hello Restless! We know you’re dying for an update on the poll we took last week. We’d like to thank those who provided feedback; we are trying our best to make this game accommodating, as well as fun, for you all, so giving us insights into your own experiences and expectations helps make this possible. So thank you!


    APPLICATIONS & GAME CAP

    β–Ί The plurk poll of moving to an application queue yielded results of Yes at 54%, with Yes, but after next round came in at 37%. We’ve decided that going with Yes, but after next round would, essentially, please both these groups.
    β–Ί This means, starting at the beginning of December, applications will be processed through the queue system and reserves will be closed indefinitely. Starting right after this round, applications can be submitted at any time throughout November, though they will not be processed until after December 2nd 11:59 PM EST. We'll most likely stick to this method for the following months unless adjustments are needed! Accepted applicants will be notified and given 48 hours to reply should they still be interested in joining.
    β–Ί Concerning this round ( reserves opening October 26th 12:00 AM EST and applications opening October 28th 12:00 AM EST ), the procedure will operate as it did the first time, with reserves being open to all without a cap. We are, however, expanding the window of opportunity to submit applications due to pending AC results, so applications will close November 2nd 11:59 PM EST.
    β–Ί As of now, two characters have been dropped, so we are at 68 characters ( not counting characters played by mods ). We have decided to expand the cap by 5, bringing the cap up to 75. A little bit of math and we’re at 7 open spots for this upcoming application round.

    CALENDAR

    β–Ί As stated in the mid-month post, the calendar is up for tweaking. It should be updated by the end of this weekend to have a more concrete schedule for November ( and tentative outlines for December and January ). As a heads up, we are likely to shift everything back a day or two, seeing as we are expanding the processing of applications ( ie, plotting post on the 5th or 6th, event on the 7th or 8th ). Again, the calendar will be adjusted this weekend as we finalize!

    TDM

    β–Ί Considering the fact that the game is near cap ( and may very well continue to fluctuate minimally from month to month ), we have decided to not create new TDM prompts every month. The TDM will read mostly the same; however, there will be some slight variations with the Notice Board listings. We will post a fresh TDM entry every month, which will, hopefully, make it easier for everyone to see/follow/comment on. The next one will go up tomorrow, and will coincide with new quests on the Notice Board! Please note that if you ever wish to revisit older quests, you'll find them in the comments below.

    SOULIDARITY

    β–Ί It hasn’t quite hit CAPTCHA yet, but it is close enough that we have decided to start the new, permanent entry, which can be found HERE. The process is similar to last time; however, please do not respond to top-levels directly. Each top-level/code will now include a link to a Soulidarity-specific entry in each character’s journal (which you must create if you wish to participate). For organizational purposes (and to avoid another CAPTCHA), please tag each other in your respective journals!

    FEEDBACK

    β–Ί As always, please know that you can contact us at any time via the Mod Contact or FAQ. You all have been keeping us busy, but we certainly enjoy the ideas you have been coming up with as you immerse yourselves in the lore and setting.
