Mod Announcement: October

[simpathis]

— MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: OCTOBER —

October is going to be our first "big event" month. Whether it will be a big "good" event" or a big "bad" event will be up to you! Of course there's the third option of "a bit of both" so we shall see.

Also, two new NPCs, Rebbekah and Pearce, have asked for volunteers to have their crystals checked out. The results may be surprising—but those won't be posted until later.

This post is a little lengthy so here is a quick list of what is being covered:

• New Player/Character Introduction Logs
  
• Dates
  
• AC Results
  
• Crystal Update
  
• Season of Boreas
  
• Taskboard Update
  
• Player Plots/Events
  
• Random Trivia: Preparing for winter
  
• Random Trivia: Empatheian Calendar system

New Players and Characters
If you're applying into the game this week, read this! As always, we will have an OOC Player Introduction post and we will link it in your acceptance notices for you to post your player intros into. This time, and likely from here on out, we will be creating a Character Introduction Log for you to introduce your character. You can of course create your own posts not too long after, but we do recommend and encourage you to use the Intro Log. We will also provide a few prompts that you can use if needed. This will also be linked in your acceptance notice.

Applications will still be processed in batches throughout the application period. Upon acceptance, players can introduce themselves at any time. We will post both introduction entries right before we process the first batch of characters.

CURRENT PLAYERS! When both of these intro posts (OOC and IC) go up, we highly encourage you to track these entries. You can either just track for top-levels to get notifications, or just return to it every now and then to check. But we want to make sure everyone feels welcomed, so we need you! This will be especially crucial toward the end of the app period as some may not introduce themselves until a few days after closing, especially if there are revisions.
