STATE OF THE GAME
As mentioned before, the SotG post will only go up now when we have things to say. After a couple of difficult months personally for the moderators, we're trying to get back on track!

As always, we appreciate the feedback received from players and hope to adjust things accordingly to make the game a smoother, stress-free experience for all. We're here for fun and we want to make that as easy to achieve as possible!

This post will highlight the changes we made, updates planned, housekeeping items, and the most recent list of claims, check-in warnings, and drops.

So, without further ado...
ANNOUNCEMENTS & UPDATES
While we will mention updates as well on our mod plurk and Discord server, we're repeating them here for folks who don't have one.

You can check for the tag on pages to see what we've added or clarified on!

    ⁂ Please take the time to respond to this poll regarding invitations for the game. After some discussion between the moderators, we want to see if lifting the invitation requirement might help bring some new players in and keep the game from stagnating.

    ⁂ The quest board has been revised. While we originally intended for it to be something players used to build up their reputation in the setting to access new areas, the smaller size and pace of the game made it feel more like an obstacle. We don't want it to seem like we're withholding anything from players, so we'll be changing how the quest board works.

    Rather than reputation, quests will reward bonds correlating to difficulty level. 1 star quests = 1 Bond. That way, we can still proceed with metaplot and world setting updates while players are free to use their bonds to influence the setting and their own reputations.

    ⁂ Reputation has been moved to the locations page! See what different places dragonbonded know of and how they feel so far about them being here. These will change over time and through character action, so as always please let us know what you and yours are up to so we can adjust accordingly!

    ⁂ Additionally on the locations page, people can now submit new locations they'd like to see added. Whether this be through gaining a business license, the summoning circle pulling them in, or direct player changes to the setting (like the lake), players are encouraged to let us know about what has been added to the world so it can be reflected on this page appropriately.

    ⁂ The calendar has been updated for July! Previous months will be in headers on the page as a 'timeline' of sorts for players to look back on or refresh themselves about happenings in-game. Make sure to utilize this to know what the weather is like or any mini-events that might be coming up!

REMINDERS
Just a few quick reminders from us:

    ⁂ The newest test drive meme is up on the meme comm! Tell your friends! After some feedback, we added a top-level directory thread for new players but current players are still free to top-level and play on the TDM as well!

    Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap!


CLAIMS, WARNING LIST, AND DROPS
MAY/JUNE CLAIMS These characters were claimed during the month of May & June! Make sure to help them feel welcome!


JUNE WARNING LIST These are the characters who did not check-in. Characters claimed within the last few days of the month are exempt and we will let them check-in next month as usual.

You have forty-eight (48) hours, barring extenuating circumstances, to contact a moderator or complete your check-in before being removed from the communities.

STATE OF THE GAME
As mentioned before, the SotG post will only go up now when we have things to say. Which, surprise! We do this month after a couple of quiet ones.

As always, we appreciate the feedback received from players and hope to adjust things accordingly to make the game a smoother, stress-free experience for all. We're here for fun and we want to make that as easy to achieve as possible!

This post will highlight the changes we made, updates planned, housekeeping items, and the most recent list of claims, check-in warnings, and drops.

ANNOUNCEMENTS & UPDATES
While we will mention updates as well on our mod plurk and Discord server, we're repeating them here for folks who don't have one.

You can check for the tag on pages to see what we've added or clarified on!

    ⁂ The quest board is going to be revised. While we originally intended for it to be something players used to build up their reputation in the setting to access new areas, the smaller size and pace of the game made it feel more like an obstacle. We don't want it to seem like we're withholding anything from players, so we'll be changing how the quest board works.

    Rather than reputation, quests will reward bonds once looked over and adjusted to be fair. That way, we can still proceed with metaplot and world setting updates while players are free to use their bonds to influence the setting and their own reputations.

    We hope to have this updated and finalized sometime this month!

    ⁂ The calendar has been updated for May! Previous months will be in headers on the page as a 'timeline' of sorts for players to look back on or refresh themselves about happenings in-game. Make sure to utilize this to know what the weather is like or any mini-events that might be coming up!

    ⁂ Also, as you can no doubt see, the updated calendar brings the news that May's event is delayed. While we strive to be prepared and start each month off with something new and fun, April was just not kind to either of your head moderators. Rather than push out an event just to have it done, we wanted to take a bit more time to ensure it was what we were both satisfied with and comfortable bringing to the playerbase.

    As of right now, the goal is for the event and plotting post to be up on Monday, May 5th. If this changes, we'll let everyone know ASAP!
REMINDERS
Just a few quick reminders from us:

    ⁂ The test drive meme is up on the meme comm and still plenty active! Tell your friends! After some feedback, we added a top-level directory thread for new players but current players are still free to top-level and play on the TDM as well!

    Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap!

APRIL WARNING LIST These are the characters who did not check-in. Characters claimed within the last few days of the month are exempt and we will let them check-in next month as usual.

You have forty-eight (48) hours, barring extenuating circumstances, to contact a moderator or complete your check-in before being removed from the communities.

    ⁂ None! Good job, everyone.

Hello and welcome to the month of love! We adore you, dear playerbase, and are glad to be able to continue to bring you fun draconic content!

As always, we appreciate the feedback received from players and hope to adjust things accordingly to make the game a smoother, stress-free experience for all. We're here for fun and we want to make that as easy to achieve as possible!

This post will highlight the changes or updates we made in January, housekeeping items/reminders, and a list of claims, check-in warnings, and drops.

So, without further ado...
UPDATES
While we will mention updates as well on our mod plurk and Discord server, we're repeating them here for folks who don't have one.

You can check for the tag on pages to see what we've added or clarified on!

    ⁂ The quest board was updated last month! There's also a partner plotting post facilitated by James for the new ones. We're continuing to add all the currently player suggested quests so keep them coming!

    ⁂ The calendar has been updated for February! Previous months will be in headers on the page as a 'timeline' of sorts for players to look back on or refresh themselves about happenings in-game. Make sure to utilize this to know what the weather is like or any mini-events that might be coming up!

REMINDERS
Just a few quick reminders from us:

    ⁂ The test drive meme is up on the meme comm! Tell your friends! After some feedback, we've added a top-level directory thread and a separate section for rockstar profiles to be posted rather than it being baked into the test drive meme itself. (This is subject to change, if people are finding they'd rather have the option for both in their own top-levels- Let us know!)

    Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap! So, please keep checking back on the current plotting post for new players or characters that might be added to ensure everyone receives a warm welcome!

STATE OF THE GAME
Hello and welcome to a new year! It's always the year of the dragon here at Children of Bahamut, so may yours be filled with all things scaly and wonderful.

As always, we appreciate the feedback received from players and hope to adjust things accordingly to make the game a smoother, stress-free experience for all. We're here for fun and we want to make that as easy to achieve as possible!

This post will highlight the changes we made in December, housekeeping items/reminders, and a list of claims, sweeps, and drops.

So, without further ado...
UPDATES
While we will mention updates as well on our mod plurk, we're repeating them here for folks who don't have one.

You can check for the tag on pages to see what we've added or clarified on!

    ⁂ The quest board has been updated! We've added all the currently player suggested quests and also adjusted reputation earned to help characters earn it more quickly. While originally we wanted new areas to be unlocked with reputation, we're re-configuring that and deciding on what else should be the reward for hitting certain milestones (like 100) so as to not impede metaplot progress planned!

    ⁂ The calendar has been updated for January! Previous months will be in headers on the page as a 'timeline' of sorts for players to look back on or refresh themselves about happenings in-game. Make sure to utilize this to know what the weather is like or any mini-events that might be coming up!

    ⁂ Although Chai thought (really hard) that they put this on the activity page already, we've added a small bullet point about what happens with bonds when someone drops. Basically: We still encourage people to hash out/summarize how a thread would have gone when they're informed of someone dropping! If that isn't possible, we'll leave it to the remaining player to decide the best outcome for their character when summarizing for bonds.
REMINDERS
Just a few quick reminders from us:

    ⁂ The test drive meme is up on the meme comm! Tell your friends! After some feedback, we've added a top-level directory thread and a separate section for rockstar profiles to be posted rather than it being baked into the test drive meme itself.

    Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap! So, please keep checking back on this post for new players or characters that might be added to ensure everyone receives a warm welcome!

    ⁂ We do also ask that people make sure they have an invitation extended to them for the game by a current player or moderator if using the mod contact page for an invitation request. While we're glad to have you, we just want to avoid any awkward misunderstandings that might arise from people using invitations without being given explicit permission to.

    Exclusive Quest submissions are limited and will be RNGed with preference given to people who haven't completed any yet!

CLAIMS, WARNING LIST, AND DROPS
DECEMBER CLAIMS These characters were claimed during the month of December! Make sure to help them feel welcome!

[community profile] childrenofbahamutooc
STATE OF THE GAME
We hope American players are coming out of their Turkey Day comas and everyone else is only lightly hibernating for the holidays!

As before, we appreciate the feedback received from players and hope to adjust things accordingly to make the game a smoother, stress-free experience for all. We're here for fun and we want to make that as easy to achieve as possible!

This post will highlight the changes we made in November, housekeeping items/reminders, and a list of people who will be swept due to missing AC.

So, without further ado...
UPDATES
While we will mention updates as well on our mod plurk, we're repeating them here for folks who don't have one.

You can check for the tag on pages to see what we've added or clarified on!

    ⁂ After some feedback and re-evaluating the activity reward system, we've made an adjustment to the way it works! Our goal was to incentivize activity, not limit or punish people, and hopefully these changes reflect that. You can see the updates on the activity page under How do bonds work? But for the simple version: players will now be allowed to 'bank' any excess threads to submit in future months to hit the 20 a month bond cap.

    ⁂ Since we are leaving activity rewards up to players to keep track of and submit, we wanted to highlight how it should be done since a few people now have enough bonds for rewards! Players can simply mention the points they are spending for their reward in that month's activity comment.

    For things like extra character slots or setting additions, we'll double-check to make sure but, again, are trusting players to handle this themselves. We'll also give the chance for players to edit accordingly to add bonds, claim rewards, etc. if need be for November until December 4th!

    ⁂ We will be honest here and say we completely forgot about The King of Misrule crowning from the last event. We apologize for this and have since crowned a winner as well as give consolation prizes to others who participated. We hope everyone enjoys!

    Character tags, as some may have noticed, weren't readily accessible to players. This is because Dreamwidth has a silly thing where administrator entered tags can't be seen by regular members until used at least once... by the administrator. We've added the current tags to the log template post on the logs comm and a private post in the network comm to allow them to be accessible to members going forward. Tags will be added regularly with claims that come in/are processed. If we're missing any or need to correct them, please let us know!

    ⁂ We will be updating the quest board in December! Since most of the quests were completed and we have some wonderful suggestions for new ones, we'll take the 'downtime' this month to update, fine-tune, and hopefully give people something to look forward to with side quests. We appreciate people's engagement with it and suggestions!

    ⁂ The calendar has been updated for December! Previous months will be in headers on the page as a 'timeline' of sorts for players to look back on or refresh themselves about happenings in-game. Make sure to utilize this to know what the weather is like or any mini-events that might be coming up!


REMINDERS
Just a few quick reminders from us:

    ⁂ The test drive memes will be once a quarter so the next one isn't until January! After some feedback, we'll also be adding a top-level directory thread going forward since it was something brought to our attention that would be helpful.

    ⁂ For people wanting to party up, James made a helpful quest plotting post for people to utilize!

    Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap! So, please keep checking back on this post for new players or characters that might be added to ensure everyone receives a warm welcome!

    ⁂ We do also ask that people make sure they have an invitation extended to them for the game by a current player or moderator if using the mod contact page for an invitation request.

 Hey folks. Meant to post this already, but life got in the way.

Long story short, having to "Hiatus" due to health issues (bad neck/back pain. Don't develop them, kids.). Calling it til end of the month or the 6th since it's slowly getting better. But wanted to let people know what's going on in a more official way, and I apologize for the lack of stuff on my end.

I'd be happy to backtag stuff and/or figure stuff out to handwave after, but please assume Nephenee's been around.

State of the Game #1

diceofthegods: (Default)
[personal profile] diceofthegods
[community profile] childrenofbahamutooc
STATE OF THE GAME
Hooray, we survived the first month of running a game!

Thanks to everyone for their feedback and bearing with our growing pains as we tweak, adjust, and update some things as necessary. This post will serve to outline all that as well as bring up some topics to discuss that have been floated by us.

So, without further ado...
UPDATES
Some of these were already mentioned on our mod plurk but we're repeating them here for folks who don't have one.

Also, you can check for the tag on pages to see what we've added or clarified on!

    ⁂ We have a profile navigation code now for the mod journal and comms! It was one of the things overlooked initially, but then frustrated Chai when they were trying to click around to do moderator things.

    Character tags have been added to the comms! We also tagged the relevant characters in the mod log and posts we saw up so far! They'll be added regularly going forward with claims that come in/are processed, but we needed a minute to catch up from the initial game opening wave. If we're missing any or need to correct them, please let us know!

    ⁂ After some discussion about the quest board, we decided to add rolls to clear each quest! We'll still process & acknowledge people who submit for them but wanted people to be able to determine how successful - or not - they were on open quests without having to wait on us.

    ⁂ Another update to the quest board mechanics is clarification on the time frame. For open quests, we do still ask that people only officially submit for them every seven (7) days. We're happy that people are enjoying them but also want to make sure no one is trying speed run reputation as we want the world to open up in a more gradual, organic process.

    However: This is only for officially submitting for a quest on the page. If you want to start a log or thread before you're allowed to submit for an open quest, that's totally fine! The point of them is mostly to be an extra way for players to engage in the setting if an event isn't to their fancy, they want to focus on reputation, etc. Once you're allowed to, you can submit for the quest and link the started thread with your rolls to receive rewards.

    ⁂ The locations page has been updated! The town of Ich and the Talahee Forest are - as of the event going up - free for players to now travel to and from. While reputation will eventually unlock other areas, this one was planned to be a 'freebie' from the start! We're still discussing the next location to open up to players and will update the quest page accordingly once we do decide.

    ⁂ The calendar has been updated for November! Previous months will be in headers on the page as a 'timeline' of sorts for players to look back on or refresh themselves about happenings in-game. Make sure to utilize this to know what the weather is like or any mini-events that might be coming up!

    ⁂ After seeing some people do both a check-in and bond submission, we wanted to clarify you only need to do one or the other. If you turned in activity/bonds, then you don't need to check-in! Alternatively, if you have no bonds to submit you only need to check-in. We provided examples of both simply to show the differences, not indicate that you needed to do both types. We apologize for any confusion!


REMINDERS
Just a few quick reminders from us:

    ⁂ The test drive memes will be once a quarter so the next one isn't until January! After some feedback, we'll also be adding a top-level directory thread going forward since it was something brought to our attention that would be helpful.

    ⁂ For people wanting to party up, James made a helpful quest plotting post for people to utilize!

    Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap! So, please keep checking back on this post for new players or characters that might be added to ensure everyone receives a warm welcome!

    ⁂ We do also ask that people make sure they have an invitation extended to them for the game by a current player or moderator if using the mod contact page for an invitation request. While we're glad to have you, we just want to avoid any awkward misunderstandings that might arise from people using invitations without being given explicit permission to.

    Exclusive Quest submissions are limited and will be RNGed with preference given to people who haven't completed any yet!

POLLING
    After having been asked a few times and seeing discussion around it, we've decided to open a poll to the playerbase about if the game should have a dedicated Discord server.

    Originally, we opted not to have one to start simply due to preference for players utilizing the OOC comms and other channels for communicating/plotting. It feels like, from our previous experiences, a lot of the plotting or discussions that happens in them is very fast and more often ends up with folks feeling left out rather than more involved.

    However, we understand that some people prefer the ease and convenience of having an immediate way to contact others in the game and also feel left out without one so... Let us know! We'll watch the results and update about if one is being made ASAP.
CLAIMS, DROPS, INVITES
Since we have many, many claims for the first month due to the game opening they're being condensed in this post. Going forward, they'll likely be listed openly! Just click the header though to see the full list if you'd like!

Hello all, this is Cherry.

I play Emet-Selch of Final Fantasy XIV fame.

When I join a new community, I usually link a permissions post for his Soul Sight ability, and since it's come up in the Town Hall Meeting, I thought now was the best time to share that around for all parties interested.

Relevant IC plot stuff is here and my Permissions Post is over this way.

What he can and can't detect is up to you, so let me know if there are any fun or quirky characteristics you'd like for him to notice. (Also please let me know if I should avoid FFXIV spoilers. There's a post in my journal for that too!)

Thanks so much and I look forward to playing with all of you!

Quest Board Plotting



Since quests all tend to require party members (a minimum of two), it can be difficult to get them going if you aren't sure who's interested. This plotting post helps to alleviate that, by listing the current available quests. Remember to take a look at the Quest Board to see how it all works, and go to the FAQ if you have any question for the mods! If there's a quest you're interested in but you're lacking at least one more person.

Sub-threads are posted below for Open Quests, and then the separate Exclusive Quests. Make sure to check the latter's status on the Quest Board to see if it's still open!

OOC INTRO & PLOTTING
Hello and welcome to Children of Bahamut!

This OOC post will be for all your introductory plotting needs! While there will be plotting posts for events once they officially start in November and on, we wanted to give everyone a space to outline their initial thoughts and plans to get started strong.

You can use the form below! If you play more than one character, you're free to make a top-level for just your relevant player information and comment beneath with each respective character.

OOC Into Template
As a few quick notes:
    ⁂ The Town Town Hall Meeting is up and serves as a game opening mingle! Our first real, proper event will be November 1st.
    ⁂ While a month might seem like a long time, we want to encourage people to use the the quest board to get themselves established in the community and building reputation if they want something to do!
    Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap! So, please keep checking back on this post for new players or characters that might be added to ensure everyone receives a warm welcome!

Most of all, we want people to have fun and let us know if your character gets up to anything good, bad, or whatever! All of it will influence the world around them and potentially have benefits or consequences.
