announcements + game HMD

Hello, Outsiders! We’ve been open just over a month now, and I hope everyone’s enjoying the game so far! There’s still plenty we can improve on, though, and this post is the place to let us know about it.

First, a couple of announcements:

φ We’re going to have our first AC this weekend! Don’t worry -- we’re not checking for activity yet! All you have to do for this AC is link to your acceptance notice, Of course, if you already have activity that meets the requirements, feel free to link that too. We’re just using this as a headcount and to get an idea of how the game pace fits in with our AC requirements.

φ We’ll have a player HMD near the end of the month. We plan on running these every other month or so, but we’ll let you know the exact dates as we get closer. As we require all players to have a HMD post in the journal of each character they play, this isn’t a mandatory HMD -- though we certainly encourage it!

φ Look out for a test drive meme next week! Again, these will likely happen every couple of months, depending on interest.

GAME HMD

We’re still a new game, and we’re definitely still going through growing pains. We’ve set up the game in the ways that made the most sense to us, but just because we have it one way doesn’t mean we can’t do it another way. We want you guys to have fun here, after all, and we’re very open to feedback.

We’ve set up a couple of threads below with topics we’d like feedback on, but feel free to post something else if you have it!

If you’re not comfortable leaving it here, feel free to use the mod contact post to leave us feedback, or contact a mod privately. Otherwise, please use the comments below to let us know what you think.

How about a post-event summary OOC post? I think it might be helpful to put up a post with some notes about how the event wrapped up, as well as any lingering issues that might be used as minor plot hooks until the next event. Maybe also a section for players to post a brief CR summary, for stuff that got played out or is being handwaved/backtagged so that it's easy to skim through and get a quick look at what happened during the event and how things have changed on the station as a whole. I don't really have the time or energy to thread-stalk nearly as much as I want to, but I do like knowing what other characters are up to!

I'll second this, especially with players being able to find out what played out in threads they weren't involved in. That way, things can be referenced if it was something that would have ended up affecting a large amount of people / an area / anything like that to help tie CR/world development together.

It could also be pretty handy for mods as a quick reference of what happened with characters, so they know how NPCs can handle end results or react to them, as well as how events may influence the next plot.

I agree with this completely. We were given option on how to end the plot, but I'm still not sure how it fully went down.
