State of the Game 2

M O D U P D A T E

Hello Savrites! We had originally intended this to be a normal mod update type of post, but we decided to do a State of The Game update instead. Mostly to let you know what's going on, where we're going, and where we'd like to end up. First, let's talk about apps! As per the calendar, applications will be opening up again on October 16th. We have changed some of the rules regarding apps to (hopefully) make it easier on both new and old players as well as the mods. They are reflected on the individual pages, but here is a summary: ☄ A reserve is now required for all applications. ☄ There will be an application cap. ☄ Any current player who officially drops may re-app a new character at any time, but only once every 2 months. The application cap will be set to 15 applications for new players and 15 applications for current players. This means we will have a total of 30 app slots open during October. Whichever slots are not filled will then be opened as a "free for all" on the last day of the cycle (October 22nd). Two Page Updates: Mini Games & Jobs TIMELINE: October - Mini Colony * see info below November - Ship Month December - Midway Hub January - Midway Hub February - Arc II Thisavrou Plot Specific Sign Ups Are Now Closed In October the ship will be touching down on the Runoff's Mini Colony. This is a mecha of trade and commerce, which is something we want to do a little bit of world building with. There are three sections below that players should participate in. The first is a sign up for location specific plot; take a look at the linked map and respond with your character's name and the corresponding number. Once all the numbers have been taken, we'll double them over for anyone else that signs up. The second section is to 'create a business'; in this section players can build a business and then NPC it during the event. The third is suggest something that occurs on the mini colony; you list it and if it fits, we'll approve it. All of this stuff will be built into the event logs when they come up. We'd really like our players' input. If anyone has questions about the upcoming event(s), Arc II, or anything else, let us know below. Thank you all for being amazing players.

☄ Once Venom is inside, the gold shape will take a stronger form and he'll be able to communicate with his dear friend. They'll grow more solid and life like the more they talk, and will be able to respond exactly as they would have.

This is where Venom will show an inkling of emotion! It's nice to see his friend in one piece, though he can't believe it. He's going to deeply apologize for what happened and thank his friend for what he did.

His logical side is telling him it isn't real, but it doesn't stop Venom from having a full on conversation. He does want to touch to see whether or not if it's an illusion, but he keeps his hands behind his back as always.

☄ When they've finished their conversation, it will transform from the shape of a human and into the shape of an animal that is most significant to Venom. No matter where Venom goes, it will follow. It will begin to develop personality the longer it is with Venom.

Of all things, it takes the shape of a bat. At first he doesn't pay it much attention, but then it starts to act like a particular vampire. When Venom tries to walk along and explore, it'll quietly question his judgment and somehow troll him.

He almost expects it to start reciting haiku at any moment.

☄ At this point, you can decide if the bat will continue on with Venom as a companion for as long as you'd like to in game or there can be some kind of sci-fi-ish thing where when he leaves the atmosphere on the ship, it disappears.

I believe the garden will have a new resident. Venom will keep his new companion there so it won't bother his roommates. He'll make sure to take good care of the little bat.

☄ Did you have any more questions?

[poolhall_killer]

I believe that'll do. He'll wrap up his exploring and ponder over seeing his friend again.
