JUNE STATE OF THE GAME

[etrayamods]

⏵ June State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! We hope you enjoyed your time at Summer Camp! Or if your character had the fun of going off to Solmara, we hope they enjoyed fighting beasts, and convincing Borealis to come out of hiding! For this application round, we have opted to keep them open an additional week. We announced this over plurk, but realize not everyone checks there! Their new closure date will be July 4th. This will not impact our log or posting schedule at all. In addition, as of today, June 27th, the X-Men cast is no longer under cap. We've got our arrival mingle going up later today to welcome new characters! Please keep an eye out for it. On July 11th, our mission announcement and plotting post will be going up. We do want to note that this next mission will be off world, and we intend for its' duration to be four weeks. As always, we strive to be flexible and build our missions up to suit our player base/characters currently in game, so if we need to slow it down some or put up any additional logs mid-mission, we may check in with our players during to get a feel on if that would help any. Our last feedback post went up on June 19th with our next coming up on September 18th - but we welcome feedback throughout the year regardless of if there's a specific post asking for it! You are always welcome to comment to our older feedback posts with any concerns, comments, or ideas of what we can do to improve the game. We can't promise to bring everything into play, but we do listen to the ideas that have been brought our way and have implemented many player suggestions in the past. Our Mod Contact page is always open in case you would like a screened location to reach out to. Don't forget your Activity! This is just a comment with your handle and characters' names for new players. You are welcome to submit TDM threads for activity points if wanted. Our activity results post always goes up on the 1st of the month, and we have switched to providing a warning list for characters who have yet to responded to AC with an additional five days to respond from the date our results post goes up. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals! Please use the below form to introduce yourself, tell us what you’re looking forward to, and CR you want to play. We also have a mod comment HERE that you can use to ask us mods anything about our upcoming plans, add suggestions, or anything of the like. <b>PLAYER:</b> your name/handle, and your preferred pronouns if you want to provide them! <b>CONTACT:</b> your plurk, discord, carrier pigeon's name to call out to the wind to get their attention <b>ABOUT YOU:</b> what fandoms are you in? what cool thing about you do you think would be fun to share? are you more of a texty tagger, a log tagger, quick boomeranger? <b>CHARACTER:</b> who have you apped? what canon are they from? <b>CHARACTER INFO:</b> are they rowdy and loud? an introvert who needs an extrovert to adopt them and take them out into the world? how are they going to settle into game? is there anything in particular you're looking for with them? <b>PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:</b> mostly for us mods: tell us things you're interested in! are you here more for horror elements, the mystery, soft fluffy missions, or the plot behind why echo has called everyone in? do you want to explore the world and figure out what's beyond the bubble etraya resides in? let us know! <b>OTHER:</b> this is for pretty pictures or gifs.

hi rakel!! i play octavia blake (the 100) over here and though i am canonblind for love and deepspace, alex sounds so interesting and i definitely think these two could be friends!

[plangona]

noelle sounds so cute!! i think octavia would be so curious about her world but they should definitely be friends.

[plangona]

hi gigi! welcome to the game, i am so excited to see thor here. i'm k and i play octavia blake (the 100) over here and will have to toss her his way sometime because she is a lowkey mythology nerd

[plangona]

hi nat! i'm k and i play octavia blake (the 100) over here, welcome to the game!

i'm so canonblind but i'll definitely toss octavia your way since i think this could be some interesting cr!

[asgardianlegend]

Thanks! I'm excited to have Thor in a game again, so it works out for everyone. I have a top level here if you want to toss her at him. He will have fun with that, since he's had many conversations with Selvig about the fact that, yes, he does exist.

[plangona]

caprica!! vivi seems so cute and i'm so excited to share a game with you here too and get some more cr with you!

[plangona]

apollo! i have one lowkey mythology nerd over here so i will definitely have to throw octavia his way and see what cr happens!

[velocityraptor]

Hello! Nice to meet you!

I look forward to it. He's a real goodie-two-shoes most of the time, until he isn't.

[ornitiers]

Hai! He is very cute. There's a reason he was immediately my favourite before I even actually played the game. I had a plush of him for years before I sat down with IX. He's adorable. Just. Also comes with trauma.

[reincarnesiac]

hello!!! i never got past season one of the 100 (and know the most random details from later on) but yes please octavia would be great fun to bounce off with alex! come on girls let's go be SciFy and used to very weird earth circumstances it's all Fine we're all Fine here!!!

PLAYER: hi, i'm ame! i use any pronouns.
CONTACT: site pm.
ABOUT YOU: i've been roleplaying for many years, but this is my first time joining a game! i'm actually new to dwrp as a whole - only started a few months ago. i've been learning the ropes, albeit slowly, after migrating from other sites. i love the sonic series & the blue dude is one of my favorite characters, so i was excited to see other sonic canons here! outside of 'hog, i'm big into final fantasy, specifically vii, xvi, and xiv. i read a lot in my spare time and enjoy a good musical. tagging speed varies quite a bit due to my busy schedule, but i try to respond in reasonable time!

CHARACTER: sonic t. hedgehog - more specifically, sonic as he's seen in the games.
CHARACTER INFO: ^ i had trouble deciding between that and idw, because they're... sorta one in the same in the eyes of sonic canon at the moment? but i wanted to write him as post-frontiers, and idw hasn't caught up to that yet, so here we are!

i'd describe sonic as a character to be "simple yet effective." when speaking to him for the first time, rest assured you're receiving him at his most genuine. what you see is what you get and all that. he's laidback, friendly, and always happy to meet someone new. despite that, he can be quite flighty - likes to wander and do his own thing, so getting to know him can be difficult if you aren't actively trying. however, a setting such as this means he'll have his feet a little more firmly planted! i am a big enjoyer of crossovers and love writing sonic against pretty much anyone. he's versatile!
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: anything and everything! sonic lends himself to the whole "new world" thing well, so exploration + mystery is very welcomed. other genres such as action or horror are equally as fun! as the protagonist of his series, sonic usually emerges from conflict without a scratch, so i think it'd be interesting to write him out of his depth. get some emotionality out of him. ( & of course, building character relations, both positive and negative. )

PREPARE TO BE HUGGED SCIEL

I am also down to discuss anything you might wanna do with them in pretty much any direction! I just love Gustave and Sciel together, they're so good

BEST HUG IN HISTORY

[quibblingfunctionary]

CR memes sound like they would be really fun! I can't wait to see them get implemented.

The mods only have so many eyes and so much free time... Perhaps some sort of silly nonsensical reward for players that give little summaries of activity.

Ohhh I'm sure nothing ill will come from fear-shimmer. That seems completely safe. The only thing that could make it safer would be to combine it with compound-v and the t-virus.

[bluejustice]

Hihi! I'm new around here too but welcome!! Don't worry about taking your time to figure things out, dwrp is relatively new to me too, but I've found really nice people ready to lend a hand c: And I'd love to see the Sonics interact because reasons.

[sacrificialpawn]

SO I DID THE THING, CLEARLY

[untsundered]

YES WELCOME!!! I was so happy to see you apped!!! Welcome to etraya! I can't wait to play off your obscure lil guy!

[sacrificialpawn]

I can't wait for them to meet because Oscar knows some literal angels so he's going to look at Emet and be all "hmmm"

[untsundered]

Are the angels he knows as bitchy as he is? I sure hope so.

[sacrificialpawn]

HONESTLY, he will take bitchy over... whatever Mere is. Think helicopter mom on steroids...

[untsundered]

Oh god. I mean in another life I think Emet could have easily been a helicopter mom for the ages, we're lucky he's just a sad sentimental murderer instead.

[bonding]

Yeess I'll look forward to it!! Noelle needs all the friends she can get... especially as she has to reconcile with the fact this isn't actually a dream and is unfortunately SO REAL

[sacrificialpawn]

NOT SURE WHICH IS BETTER...

[untsundered]

Fr fr, on one hand: murder. On the other hand: helicopter mom. Hard to pick...
