Ch-ch-ch-changes!

I won't beat around the bush: the game has slowed down and we've had some bumps on the road, but I believe in this game and the players, which is why I did some revamping over the weekend.

These changes should be seamless for existing players, if not make things that much easier for them and add a few new things for them to play with. That said, if there ARE any questions, concerns, or serious issues with the changes, I definitely want feedback ASAP.
  • No activity check. As of today, we'll be moving to a check in system with (totally optional) point buy for activity. There's more on the linked page!
  • Plotting has been streamlined. We used to have this big long thing and a whole plotting comm and ultimately, it felt like red tape for the sake of red tape. The NEW plotting information can be found here on the FAQ.
  • The [community profile] calling_net community is now an OPEN community. This means that you can play on the comm without having apped. Which means you can invite friends or play with random characters or whatever! Think of it like a continual Fourth Wall event slash TDM. Why? Because why not? This might open up avenues for folks to move their plots and character development along in interesting ways as well as open the game for people to try.
  • More ReQuests! We should be having some more explorations and other reQuests up soon! ReQuests are going to edge more towards self-guided adventure prompts in the future to help make sure that players can complete them and get their Quest rewards.
  • A New TDM! That'll be going up ASAP.
Obviously, we just had an activity check and I don't want to make anyone feel like that effort was wasted. As such, all passed activity checks for the most recent AC post will be credited with 20 MI Points.

As always, questions, comments, etc. can go here or as a message to this account. Thanks, folks! And stay tuned for more!
