STATE OF THE GAME #2

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. 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!

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

This OOC post will be for all your introductory and/or plotting needs! For newcomers, we want to give a space to outline their initial thoughts and plans to get started strong. For established players, feel free to make your event and other plans for the month of November here!

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/Plotting Template
As a few quick notes:
    ⁂ The Fae Festivities event log is up in its entirety! Use this post to plot for it, but feel free to top-level or tag into the actual event at your leisure.
    ⁂ We want to encourage people to continue to use 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.

State of the Game #1

[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!

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!

OCTOBER CLAIMS
OCTOBER DROPS/SWEEPS
    These are the characters that either dropped during the month of October or 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.
