Mid-Month Announcement: March

— MID-MONTHLY MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: MARCH —



Mid to late month this time, but that’s okay! This will be short, but we have one very important announcement.

» CALENDAR


Here are the dates you should know for the rest of the month. The main calendar spreadsheet can be found here (and it has been updated!).

  • 3/18: Test Drive.
  • 3/22 (ish): Potential start for Adventure
  • 3/25: Activity Check starts; Reservations open.
  • 3/31: Activity Check ends.
  • 4/01: Applications open, no April Fools joke here
.


» EMOTION TRACKER UPDATE


As always, it's kind of early to tell where the Emotion Tracker is going.

As a reminder, this is just a "mid-month" check to give everyone an idea of where the Emotion Tracker stands. If you haven't had a chance to submit your threads, don't worry! You can still submit and have it count for the final tally at the end of the month.

Here is the screenshot for this month so far:


Woah! What happened to you guys?! There’s still another two weeks(ish) in the month, so things could swing back positive… or will it go even more negative? Only time will tell.


» ON THE MODDING FRONT


Probably the most important information we need to share with you is this. Don’t worry though, everything is fine! However, Laena has had to take an unexpected extended hiatus through April for health reasons, which has caused a bit of shuffling as far as planned events go. Our combined mod/plot team will be stepping in to provide an alternate event to what was mentioned at the beginning of the month. This adventure was requested by Reena, but it will be open to all as a low key world building and lore expanding event. It should be ready to give everyone plenty of time to participate the last week and a half or so of the month! The previously planned events will come back around once we have Laena with us again.

And yes, do not worry. We still have plenty in the works for things in April (INCLUDING the flower festival) which we will talk about more then!


» A BRIEF NOTE ON TAKEN LIST(S)


Wow! The game has grown so much that our taken list could no longer handle everyone at once. As a result, we’ve now split the taken list into two parts, for canons A-M and N-Z. All links to the taken list should now be updated to include both, and they also link to each other. If there are any instances we missed, please let us know!

And that's about it! If you have any questions, concerns, or want things clarified, just comment to this post.

Along the lines of contacting the lions, I'm planning on Allura trying and failing to communicate with them via the amulets. Would be able to feel anything back necessarily (like being able to sense that the lions DO have some sort of limited consciousness even if they're constructs) or would she feel nothing at all, like if she were trying to contact a toaster?
