Poll time! (Pretend this is the mod account)

So. Remember that mystical poll I mentioned in the most recent mod post? It is here at last! And basically, this is what I want to know:

What does everyone choose? Who do you trust in the most?

Do you believe in Nathan?

~Or~

Do you believe in ~~Harvey Dent~~ Filippo?

Both have their pros and cons as you've discussed and seen in-game, but with this poll, I want what to know what your character will choose. Even if they didn't see the initial encounter, they must have heard about it by now (and such things can be assumed as happening off-screen if you'd like), so they all should be aware of what choice they face.

So yes, this is a very important poll that I need everyone to vote in. Because I'm putting this poll up later than I wanted (my fault completely there), I am going to give people until the Friday to answer it, and Saturday will be the day of the mod post. But please answer as soon as possible. I'd really appreciate it!

And since I don't want to waste the poll form, I'm asking an additional couple of questions! Mainly, I'm curious to see what kinds of things you all want answered by the time the game ends.

By the way, you will need to be logged into your character's account to vote. (It was a choice between "all" or "access list" and keeping it to character journals makes it easier for me to see who's voted and such.)

Thanks very much, everyone!

Plot Extension

Hey everyone!

I know people have been busy with going back to school and, for some of us, Labor Day weekend shenanigans, so I'm going to be extending the most recent plot! You'll have until next Monday to play with things, but just be warned: I am going to throw something at you either Wednesday or Thursday. Let me know which day you would prefer this mysterious thing thrown at you guys--or else I'll just pick~

Oh! One more thing. Starting now (for those who don't backdate), those who lost their powers can start to feel them trickling back. You won't be back up to snuff just yet, but it'll be something.

Now, go out there and have fun!

It's that time again for the very last time

It's time for our third and final ACTIVITY CHECK!

As the game reaches final stretch of the season, I'm not as concerned with players pointing me to their activity. Instead, I'd rather check and see whether or not you'd like to stick with the game through to the very end. If you would like to stay and finish things off with a bang, please comment below with your character's name(s) and journal(s). That's all!

...Seriously, that's it! I know some of you were worried about not having enough for AC, so I hope this assuages your fears ♥

As a reminder, this activity check will remain open for one week, after which point characters who have not yet responded will have only three days before, unfortunately, they are removed from the game.

Please pass this on to people if you think they haven't seen the link yet, and I'll be linking this in plurk too.

If you have any questions or anything, please let me know!

Just a reminder

Apps close forever and ever and ever at the end of August 4th, EST. So, that' only a couple more days! So fine-tune those apps, or get cracking if you've had a change of heart and want in!

And by the way? Everyone has passed Activity Check! You guys rock, you know that? ♥

Also, as for the current plot, if you're not aware of what's going on in this thread, stay tuned~

So about those app things...

I have done a bit of thinking, and I'm making the executive decision to extend the deadline for applications another week.

So that means I absolutely, definitely, this time FOR SURE will be closing apps by the end of the day on August 4th. (EST time as always.)

Seriously. I mean it.

Don't let the Olympics distract you for too long (if you're watching them! I know everyone won't be because of reasons), I'll have to put in an Olympics event and really, I don't think anyone wants to see the sort of "sporting" events I can come up with... ~~Or do you? /eyes you all~~

But anyway, yes! Apps are open until the end of August 4th!

TELL YOUR FRIENDS/ACQUAINTANCES/INTERESTED PARTIES.

Oh, and hit up the activity check if you haven't yet! (Or poke me if you're worried about not making it for this month!)

That is all! Unless I'm forgetting something, but I don't think I am.

It's everyone's favorite time!

This is the second of three activity checks for the final season. For the Activity Check, everything is back to normal, as listed in the rules section of the mod account. Copy the coding below that applies to you (one entry and two threads, or simply five threads/log threads) and post it as a comment to this entry. All threads/entries made since the last Activity Check until now will count for this month's check.

Players who are currently on hiatus or were accepted into the game within the last two weeks are exempt from the activity check.

Checks of the activity making kind!

This is the first of three activity checks for the final season. For the Activity Check, I'm modifying the requirements a bit, but next month, they will be back to normal. Copy the coding below that applies to you (one entry and one thread, or simply three threads/log threads) and post it as a comment to this entry.

Players who are currently on hiatus or were accepted into the game within the last two weeks are exempt from the activity check. (I don't believe we have anyone on hiatus, so there we go!)

One entry and one thread

Three threads

This activity check will remain open for one week, after which point characters who have not yet responded will have only three days before, unfortunately, they are removed from the game.

Now, if you have any questions or are concerned about not being able to make the activity check, please let me know! I'll definitely work with you. ♥

ALSO, a very important reminder! There will be a 4th wall event on June 30th! Like our past 4th wall events, this will be part of the game canon, so any potential players can get some CR prior to joining the game. It is also a new plot day, so don't worry, ~things~ will happen. The zombies can't last forever...right?

Another quick note--or rather, a question. Remind me, is anyone's character sensitive to time?

That will be all for me! Hope you're having fun with the zombie invasion~

(EDIT: By the way, by "sensitive to time", I mean are they sensitive to the passing of time, like, can they feel it as one of their senses? Or feel the rippling of effects in time like something disturbing a calm pond? That kind of thing ^^; Sorry about that!)

Just a quick announcement

But...

Apps and reserves are now open!!!!

Spread the word, everyone!

And just as a reminder, if you haven't already turned in your returning character thing (mentioned here), you have until May 1st before I bug you for it again!

Also, all pages should be updated with current information! Please check it over and let me know if I misspoke about anything on the pages. Also, I, unfortunately, had to clean up the pages a bit, so that meant sweeping people who haven't gotten back to me at all about staying in the game... If I did so and you want to stay, please contact me. I promise I won't bite. ♥ I'd love to have you guys for the final season!

That...should wrap things up for me right now! We'll get an intro meme going a little closer to the game's opening, but until then, I'll see you guys all real soon!

Important 3rd Season info and Updates!

Okay everyone, time to bust your calendars out--because I have some dates and announcements for you~

Our pre-season 4th wall event will be on March 16th! Hopefully we'll get some new members from this, and ones that we'll be able to get CR for prior to the start of the game because yes, it's another in-game 4th wall event~
Applications and reserves open April 14th!
The last season will begin May 19th, 11:59am EST. Yep, I'm making it a morning start this time around! This...is for slightly selfish reasons since my brain is usually pretty dead by the time it gets towards midnight, and damnit, I don't want people to have to wait on me while I sleep.

But...dates aren't the only things I have for you. Nope! I've updated the mod journal and cleaned some things up! Every link now should link to dreamwidth-based pages. (And if it doesn't please let me know!) But aside from that, the biggest changes I made were to the following:

The Profiles! The code is no longer broken! The links are updated and all the dates I listed above are listed there as well.
The Premise! It's been updated to reflect how things have progressed and how the stakes are greater for the third season.
The Town Features page! More specifically, the NPC section. Bit of a formatting change as well as an update about each character, like what happened to them in the past and where they are now. (Long story short? Everyone's location is a mystery!)
The Application page! I added a portion to the app asking whether that character was in the 4th wall event or not, and...I adjusted the application requirements. Shaved them down a bit, and added a note asking people not to be intimidated by the length of the sample apps. Hopefully...these changes will encourage more people to app. I also changed the notes about returning characters to reflect changes made at the end of the second season. (And I'll talk about this more in a moment!)
The FAQ page! Simple additions with a "where to begin" explanation and how the game works, as well as ones for quick-time events and the 4th wall event CR.
And the biggest: The Plot Summary page! It was in sore need of updating, but now all links from all seasons have their dreamwidth equivalents!

Those were the biggest changes that had to be made, and as we get closer to the start of the game, I'll be making more additions/changes as they are needed. But as you may notice, some of the pages aren't quite complete, namely the Taken, Contact, and Permissions pages. That's where you guys come in!

Things I need from you all:

I'm screening the entry, since this is confidential info, but if you feel more comfortable sending it to me via email, send it here, please! If you can, please send me this info as soon as you can. The sooner, the better <3

As a note, the above information update is technically an activity/interest check. If I don't receive any information from you by the time Apps and Reserves open (April 14th), I'm going to bite the bullet and remove you from the game :( If you are removed and want to get back in, all you'll need to do is just re-apply (and if you want to canon update during that time, please do so!) Your character will get their memories back of their time in Luministi once they're back in town.

Also, I'll need something else prior to the start of the game. Yes, this is the dreaded returning characters requirement thing. Last time, I had you guys send me an update to your character histories, namely what happened to them since leaving Luministi. I am going to ask for the same thing this time (but if you aren't updating your character too much or not at all, please say so as well!) This also goes for those who didn't go home. You don't have to give a detailed rundown of everything that happened. A general synopsis is all I'll need~ (Hell, it could be a couple sentences and it'd be cool.)

In addition to this, I'm also going to ask what part of your character's world had appeared during the dreams plot and where. Those places did not go away at the end of the game! They're still in the town... And start thinking of something else that you'd like to appear from your character's world. (But not people, sadly.) I'm not going to need the second thing now, but...start thinking. I'll need this by, at the latest, May 1st. (But don't worry, I'll be reminding you all about this once we get closer to the start of the app/reserve opening~

---------------------------------

Okay, so! I'm going to advertise for the 4th wall in the next app_this_plz, but start spreading the word to friends and such now! (And if you want to point them to the apps page if they're interested, then get them started! The app won't be changing.) And hey, if you guys want to request any characters you would like to see in the game or in the 4th wall, please go request some now! I kept the ones from last season there, and if you have any changes/additions, please let me know so I can get a list together for March's ATP! I'll ask if there are any changes to the list before the April one too.

Thanks so much, everyone! If you have any questions or anything, please ask in a separate comment (if you're submitting your info update here) so I can unscreen it and reply~ I'm super excited to see what you guys think of this next season and the end of the story. I've been waiting since day one to divulge things and gosh, can't wait! ♥!

EDIT: One last thing. I do not have everyone from the LJ version of the comm on here. If any of you know those who are missing, please direct them to here? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Community poll results

Okay everyone! After seeing everyone's comments, and after playing around in Dreamwidth myself, I think it's safe to say that we're going to move over there!

And we can do that as soon as today if people are interested. I have an account there that can enable me to move comm data and such, and I just tested it with the Logs comm (as seen here)! You'll notice that most entries lost icons and such, but another game has an easy way to get a few of them back so it's not just a blank space, which can be found here. It's kinda nifty, even if it is a bit tedious.

Ah, you might also notice that I haven't really set up anything at the comms yet, so the layout is that basic black/white one that so won't be there once I tackle it and I'll have figured out how to fix my coding for the profile pages too.

Thankfully, since we are a small game, a transfer won't take that long at all or stress the servers like some of the bigger games, so the full import could be all set in like...half an hour, or even less than. I'm thinking since we've yet to start off-season entries and such, why don't we inaugurate the new comm with a comm-wide post? I have an idea about how I want to do it, but I didn't want to put it up and then be like, "HEY WE'RE MOVING! \o/".

So, I'm going to move everything over Monday, January 16th (which is tomorrow!), but I won't put up the entry until Tuesday, so people have some time to get journals set and such. (And I hope this isn't too soon or sudden for people... Thankfully, we have the advantage of being in the off-season, so not too much is going on.)

And to make things a bit easier, I'm going to leave links for you guys to join the comms ahead of time! (I'll link them again in my last post to the comm tomorrow once the move has taken place.) There is a lot more to change in the mod journal and such, and I'll be asking you guys for updated info and such, but there'll be no rush there. I'm going to do that once I get comm-related links, layouts, and coding all figured out (and that'll take me some time >.>). I'll also be giving you what I'd like to know for entry into the 3rd season. I figure giving it way ahead of the game opening will give you more time to do it.

All right. So, if you have any questions, comments, etc, please let me know here (or hit me up in a PM/private plurk/or whatever you'd prefer to use to contact me.

And without further ado, here are the links!

Main Community: Join! (And by the way, joining will also automatically subscribe you to the comm, so no worries there.)
Logs Comm: Join!
OOC Comm: Join!
Mod Journal: Subscribe! (Be sure to only click "subscribe"! I'll grant you access from my end for the protected contact entry and such once you've friended me (unless you want the mod journal to see your protected entries there, then do whatever you'd like.)

Third time's the charm~

It's time for our third and final ACTIVITY CHECK!

As the game is in the final stretch of the season, I'm not as concerned with characters' pointing me to their activity. Instead, I'd rather check and see whether or not you'd like to stick with the game through the end of the season. If you would like to stay for the final plots, please comment below with your character's name(s) and journal(s). That's all!

This activity check will remain open for one week, after which point characters who have not yet responded will have only three days before, unfortunately, they are removed from the game.

If you have any questions or anything, please let me know!

How's my driving? (Season Two-style!)

Hello, everyone! It is time for a How's My Driving? post!

If you choose to participate, comment here with the name and journal of your character(s) in the game, and other players will comment with constructive criticism and positive feedback about how you've been playing your character(s). In return, you can give feedback to other players, too! The idea here is that we're all working together in the game, so naturally we want to help each other's performance.

To make this as positive and helpful as possible, there are a few guidelines:
1. As mentioned above, we want this to be constructive. It is most helpful for other players if you are as specific as possible with your comments/advice. That way, the players will have a clear idea of what you feel they need to improve upon--or keep doing!
2. We want to encourage everyone to be open and honest, but in the interest of allowing you to feel safe, anonymous commenting is enabled.
3. Trolling and flames are not permitted. This about helping each other to improve, and neither of those things would accomplish that, so please be polite and constructive with the advice that you give.
4. This is completely optional. You don't have to post with your character if you would rather not receive feedback.

That said, let the HMD commence!
