Quick announcement! (tl;dr - we'll be starting up an IC weekly bulletin this coming Monday, and it will function as a quick recap of any important happenings from the previous week)

This is a game feature we had planned to implement down the road, but since all you wonderful players have hit the ground running with explorations and such, we decided it'd be better to fire it up sooner rather than later.

We also noticed some general nervousness around plurk and discord regarding "omg everything is happening so much/so fast, i can't keep up!" so we hope this will help with that! For what it's worth, you're all doing great, there's plenty of time/room for everyone in the game to do cool stuff, please try to focus on having fun and not worrying! <3

Anyhow, the IC weekly bulletin will appear in the form of a newspaper appearing in everyone's IC post office mailboxes, and eventually it will become a network post that's broadcast each week. The bulletin will be released each Monday, and characters will be able to submit "classified ads" and whatnot to be posted in the bulletin.

Usually, we'd announce this sort of thing on the OOC comm, but since the bulletin will go live in a couple of days and will feature an IC explanation of how it works, we'd rather not spam the OOC comm with every little update to the game.

aaaand that's all for now. thanks everyone!!

this is such a good thing. thanks guys, much appreciated

that's wonderful, thank you!

oh excellent! 👍i really like this idea a lot

ah!! <3

lovely modlings

Thank you, mods! You and the others have been working so hard since the game was announced. I'm touched you're all so willing to adjust/work things on the fly to accommodate us.

But! Please! Don't feel afraid to ask for more help from us in some capacity with this stuff. Whether it's giving you guys links of important stuff so you don't have scourge through the logs/entries yourself or things.

You guys deserve to have fun too and, if we can help, we would love to help!

aww thank you melly! that means a lot but also, don't worry about us, we're having tons of fun and the game in no way feels like it's too much to handle or anything, even with the adjustments!! bringing in danielle and kit as list mods is deffo helping with that too

like i won't lie, i've got new game jitters too LOL but it's all good, manageable, rewarding jitters/stress/what have you, and things are only gonna get smoother as we get into the swing of things i am CONFIDENT and, legit, could not be happier with how things are going so far

without spoiling anything, i will also say that in writing the plot/schedule for the game, i've drawn from my teacher roots and designed things to fit the like. "gradual release of responsibility" teaching philosophy, which means that like

right now it's heavily mod run bc we're all still learning mechanics and characters are icly getting settled in and such, but as the game progresses, we have plans to. let's say heavily encourage the players taking the reins on some stuff to really make the community player/character-driven

BUT STILL thank you all for being so cool and supportive and patient, both with us as mods/the game, and also with each other!!! we could not have asked for a better playerbase holy cow

yesss queeens
