APRIL STATE OF THE GAME & ARRIVALS

[etrayamods]

⏵ April State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! We’ve had a huge second application round. Our original planned player cap for Raya was about 30 players. As of this post, our count is 67 players, and 72 characters. Our mod team’s excited about how big our little project has become, and we’re so glad to have you guys here! To that extent, we’re going to be raising our player cap to 60 and keeping it there. The number of players we have over this is fine! We’ll just be planning to maintain it at under 60 going forward. Our FAQ notes that we do not have caps on casts, but may implement them if a particular cast grows too large. At this point in time, we have 9 members of the DC batcast. Instead of implementing a cap on the entirety of DC Comics, especially given the variety of casts within it, we're going to implement a temporary cap on Gotham specific DCs. Until this is removed, players are welcome to app others, such as Zatanna, Supergirl, or Hal Jordan, but cannot app Harley Quinn, any of the Robins, Batmen, or associates that generally stay within Gotham. We recognize this line is not clear-cut. If there are any questions, please feel free to direct them here. If we receive any reserves or applications for characters that may be riding the line, we’ll reach out to the player affected. Applications are still open until 3PM PST today, April 26th, for any last-minute app needs. The mod team has been editing other FAQ entries as well! Our What is the city like?, Added Locations, Native Population, Appable Characters, and Cast Caps have been edited for clarity, and to add in a few modifications as listed above. We'll be updating our LOCATIONS page over the next week with additional places based on those who applied and were accepted; if there's any location you would like to see in particular, please feel free to use the provided form so we can get it added! Additionally, please check out our CALENDAR noting the dates of the upcoming mission and Activity Check due dates. For new characters, activity is simply responding to the ACTIVITY CHECK page using the formatting provided. Those who have not completed this by the day AC closes will be removed from the game. For this round of activity, we will provide a warning - please note that we will not be issuing warnings after April. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals!

Oh god, we're repeating the CYCLE AGAIN. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. My way too genuine and kind characters keep trapping yours like this!!!

There's just an added flavour of himbo jock to it now!!!

Jelle's Outreach Foundation For Chronically Cynical Bastards strikes again!!

Except I think these two have the potential to get into much, much stupider shenanigans, because Krouse can absolutely be lured into participating in any number of teen hijinks and I am so excited for it. They should egg something. Steal a motorcycle. Krouse learns to dance even though like, whatever, who even cares. Breakfast Club makeover except jock-pirate themed. The possibilities are endless.

I can't believe you're handing me this beautiful blank check.. Krouse has never been outside of his computer room this much before!!!

I will make sure to only think up the absolute best hijinks. No, Krouse, it's fine, they SHOULD totally get matching friendship tattoos, that's what bros do!!!!

[equivo]

Let him go back to rotting in his depression apartment!! Except he can't say that because it means admitting to the depression apartment so haha yeah adventure time man let's go for it.

If Krouse ends up getting his first tattoo because of a jock-based friendship I think it will change his life for the better. HOOT GROWL or whatever they end up using as a motto.

I am DETERMINED to make this happen now. One way or another. I'm coming for you.
