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.

Can't a guy have a conversation with a sketchy travel agent and use questionable tech on her without getting shot, gosh!!

Anyway – okey! Because it's not Adam Jensen if his bad choices don't have repercussions for other people too, "innocent" bystander Isha Devan (diamondhack) will get roped into his bullshit before he probably succumbs to whatever effects the dart has. All those health-related implants can only do so much.

☄ The darts will hit both him and Isha, effectively knocking them out. They'll be transported to the same place where the attendant had described. Instead of being placed inside do be a part of the hunting retreat, they're now part of the survival retreat.

Notes: All the same applies but in reverse. They survive and they get a reward, which you can pick.

And he probably thinks to himself that this is not the worst thing he's ever woken up to.

What sort of survival situation is it - like jungle, forest, snow, etc.? And what sort of opposition/numbers can they run into on the hunting side (or possibly the survival side, if they stumble onto others?)

What will they find if they specifically search around for some sort of control area or administrative area (since they're kind of assuming that a structure this big requires manpower and probably computer/machine power to regulate?) Would probably start by looking for an edge of the stadium and follow until they find something interesting. After dealing with enough bullshit, I think the overall goal will be for the three of them (Jensen, Isha, and eventually Hawke who is also on the survival side) to shut the operation down as completely as they're able to.

☄ The survival situation will be an extremely warm jungle with lots of bugs and animals and hunters. This is a high tourist season so there will be seven hunters in the dome when they arrive. There is a power room/control room but it's located under panel at the bottom of a river. They'll find it only if they decide to swim inside and go deep enough to see it.

NOTE: IF you want them to help shut it down, they can find that panel, or they can survive and when they get out, plan for a way to take it down then. Either way would be met with success since the company that runs it never made plans for if someone tried to do that.
