Garry joins the party

[strangestbluerose]

Hey guys my name is Emmy and I'm bringing in the always hilarious Garry from the RPGMaker Horror game Ib. His history\plotting post is here and I hope to be able to jump in really soon!

Insert Witty Introduction Title Here

[withcourage]

Hello, everyone! I'm Farina (You may call me Far if you'd like! Or Kaze, because that was an old alias of mine) and I just joined! I'm bringing here with me Aster Laker from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. I'm looking forward to playing with you all!

I do have to note a warning, though: I don't recommend looking at my application if you are interested in playing and have not finished Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World because spoilers are EVERYWHERE there. Seriously. Don't. One could cry from spoilers there.
Thankfully, as this is an AU world, I will try my best to not include anything that may be spoiler-y, but there is always a chance that something will pop up since this character is just wrapped in spoilers.

I'll be setting up a plotting post later in the day if any of you guys want to plan anything, or you can message me for chatting or whatever else! c:

EDIT: Plotting post here: Again, there may be spoilers? I try to keep them minimal if I can help it.

April Activity Check

[bravenewmods]

It's time for our activity check! Rules are as follows:

- Activity is currently any posts or threads made March 1st or later.
- Activity requirements are 10 comments spread among at least 2 characters (it can be split any way, so 2 comments with 1 character and 8 comments with another are acceptable).
- A post can be used in lieu of 5 of the comment requirements, but only one post may be submitted per activity check.
- If you have maximum slots (5 characters) and would like an additional slot, you may post double activity for ALL active characters in a single cycle to open up an extra slot. Subsequent activity cycles will not require any more than standard activity to maintain, but there is no limit to additional slots that may be acquired in such a fashion. When acquiring additional slots, you may use 2 posts if desired to fulfill half of the requirement.
- If you do not post activity within a week, you will be warned. Warned characters have a further week to post activity.
- If you fail to post activity after being warned, your character will be removed from the game. For storyline purposes, they will be lost in the wilderness.
- If you have additional slots and one of your characters is ejected from the game in such a manner, you will lose slots based on the number of characters ejected, to a minimum of the standard 5.
- Characters currently on hiatus are exempt, and you may hiatus for up to 2 months.
- Characters who were accepted into the game within the last two weeks or who hiatused for more than 2 weeks of the month are exempt from activity and may simply post to check-in with those characters.

A few announcements + voting + wow lots of stuff

[bravenewmods]

Hi everyone! I know we've been laying a lot of announcements on you guys, and we apologize for that, but we have a few things to add that we thought you should be aware of:

- First, unfortunately Babs will be stepping down from helper mod-dom. We were really glad to have her for the time she was serving, and because of that...

- We will be revisiting helper mod applications! Currently, we are looking to fill two spots to fill the ones vacated by Babs and Tara. In case you weren't around for the application process the last time, these are the following duties and qualities that we ask from our helper mods:

- Assist in running Pokémon and player plot threads
- Frequent availability and ability to work with the mods
- Preference goes to those players who have been active/proactive in the game previously, but we will also consider other candidates on case-by-case

You'll find more details here, where you can also apply! We'll be accepting applications until April 8th.

- Secondly, since the first map expand is nigh, we are opening the floor to suggestions for Pokémon you would like to see in the new areas! Our lips are sealed as to what could be waiting for you Pokémaniacs, but we want the players to help craft this new area of the map.

But choose wisely, you only have three votes to cast for your favorites!

- Thirdly, we have a new AU planning meme and April Testrun meme! Go check those out!

- Finally, April's activity check is live! Remember, if you apped in after March 18th, you need only check in; you are still encouraged to post activity if you have it, however.
