MAY STATE OF THE GAME & ARRIVALS

[etrayamods]

⏵ May State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! As previously mentioned, we have changed our player cap to ten new players per application round. This will be in effect until we hit under 60 players. With May's round of applications, we're currently at 78 players. Given our new player limitations, we will be moving our TDMs to every three months. Our next TDM will go up on June 13th, and the one after that will go up on September 19th. To make sure players can keep TDM threads as game canon, we're going to be changing our TDM formatting a little! This will become more clear when our next TDM goes live. Mingle logs will continue going up during months when we do not have a TDM. These will be simplistic logs with a couple of prompts to play with. As a friendly reminder - Etraya's network does not have private filters! If it's posted on the network, it's accessible to everyone. The exception to this are threads happening in character inboxes. There is a player plot in progress to develop something for player characters, but as it has not been released yet, it's still inaccessible. We'll be updating our LOCATIONS page over the next week with additional places based on those who applied and were accepted; if there are any locations 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. ⏵ 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.

She's more than a flying brick! She's an emotional flying brick!

I mean Amy already told her a bit about him, so yeah, cover's up lol. It's not that bad anyway, so long as he plays nice.

He should probably keep a Tattletale sized piles of rocks at the ready for when/if she throws her out of a window tho.

I saw the Amy lore drop and laughed, that was inevitable + useful for me for getting him closer to coming out with the truth more generally.

And he's playing SO nice. You can ask several of his preselected references about that! Any reporting to the contrary is from biased sources. (But he actually has been pulling his weight, missions wise, ulterior motives but hey still counts.)

I also regret to inform you if Victoria throws Lisa out a window he will instantly rank Victoria as his favourite superhero of all time. They are not on great terms.

All in all Victoria was busy trying not to put Amy through a wall so she might not have retained all the info lol.

Is he pre-Teacher? Or post?

Lisa has that effect on people. Hopefully it will only happen for laughs. Hopefully.

More than understandable!

Post-Teacher, about six months after being arrested, so late December 2011. He's definitely gotten completely over the brainwashing with no lingering effects or any trauma. Which, actually, there's probably the worst conversation starter for them to bond over: mind control.

I'm sure it'll all work out! Everyone's on the same team here, right? They just need a heartwarming adventure to teach them about the power of friendship.

Yeah that's gonna be no for her dawg. But it might help her sympathize, considering Teacher is the next Big Bad on her People to Destroy list.

If this was any other fandom, I might have bought that.

Victoria and Krouse handshaking on 'would rather explode than have that discussion'. Her wanting to throw Teacher down an elevator shaft is more than enough for him! Maybe she's...surprisingly acceptable.

I mean you could argue Taylor Hebert very effectively harnessed the power of friendship. For certain values of 'friendship'.

[etiological]

She is! She used to be so shallow, but she got better over it!

Taylor certainly "harnessed" her "friends".
