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.

☄ dark purple crustaceans and deep gold-colored caviar?

[heisenbitch]

Jesse just looking at that shit like, "uhhhh what the hell, yo". he's kind of tripping balls a bit, though, and he's kinda hungry, so he tries a bit of the crustacean. Pulls a face because he's not much of a fan of seafood, if this weird ass stuff can even be called that.

☄ These dark purple crustaceans are known for having possible side effects - though it's rare. From this point, you can choose from two different things. He eats it and nothing happens. Which then you can have him explore the rest of the place and maybe get into some trouble, do some gambling, etc. Or you can have him have the side effects. The side effects would be that immediately after eating, he'd feel ill to the point he'd need to go lie down, either on the ship or somewhere on the mini colony. When he wakes up, and if he looks at his reflection, he'll notice that his eyes are little bit more purple than before. But it's not until he gets into water that it's obvious somethings different. He'll be able to swim inhumanly fast and can breathe underwater. If you want there to be physical changes of any kind when he's in water, I leave that up to you to decide.

[heisenbitch]

Oh my god amazing. How long would the side effects last for?

[hohnkai]

It can be permanent, or we can make it last a limited period of time. Which would you prefer?

[heisenbitch]

OH MAN... hahahaha! would his eyes be permanently purple tinted? or just turn purple when his ability is 'activated'? (asking because i'm super shallow.)

(ALSO: If you want there to be physical changes of any kind when he's in water, I leave that up to you to decide. negl. so tempted have him turn into a blowfish.)

[hohnkai]

They would be permanently purple tinted, but it can be super light and get darker when he uses his ability? It's totally cool for you to decide on that.

And Lmao. If you want him to have physical changes like a blowfish, that's good with us.

[heisenbitch]

After some Serious Contemplation, I'm gonna def go with this being permanent. And just to let you know so it's all kosher: As much as I still like my stupid blowfish idea, Jesse will develop webbed hands/fingers and feet/toes, and purple gills open up on the sides of his neck and the sides of his ribcage when in water. It's an ability he has to learn to control, so showers and such things will at first have Jesse turning into a manfish with bright purple eyes automatically. (Eventually when he learns to control it, tho, he'll be able to "switch on" his manfish abilities at will in water.) When he's not a manfish, the gills seal up and look like very faint light purplish scars that would only attract people's attention if their attention was pointed to it/if they looked closely enough and noticed. The webbing retracts when he's not a manfish; his hands and feet look normal when he is his normal self.

☄ Awesome! This is all really cool and I'm glad you went ahead with this.
