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. We also have the plotting post going up on June 3rd. <b>PLAYER:</b> your name/handle, and your preferred pronouns if you want to provide them! <b>CONTACT:</b> feel free to link to your plurk, provide a discord handle, or state any other preferences! <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> how excited are they to be told their entire world is going to be destroyed if they're not invited to the cool kids table? are they prepared to make friends? or stab people in the back? or are they planning on finding every kitten available, taking over a couple of apartments, and starting a cat colony? <b>CR NOTES:</b> what kind of cr are you looking for, or not looking for? <b>PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:</b> this is 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. or possum pics, if you like possums.

"Kind of feral" is about right. Shenanigans are inevitable.

And Accelerator! Imagine my surprise to see there are raildex rpers in tyool 2k24. I'm eager to bounce off of him and see where it takes us.

Feral shenanigans are the best! Happy to toss Accy at her for the inevitable bullying.

There was a unicorn Touma player at Expiation a while ago but I'm not sure if they're still around. The woes of rping from a light novel series lol

[adorabrawler]

lol dang that's actually surprising hahah, I used to rp Mikoto a lot like... a literal decade ago I hate realizing this, time is awful and even then you never saw players from it around. I know that woe and feel it...

[levelshift]

Time isn't real it can't hurt you

It's cool to find another Toaru rper, even if it was a while ago! Lmao I don't blame people for not being interested in this series, a lot of it sucks pretty bad and has been going on for sooo long that the sheer amount of canon can be daunting.

[adorabrawler]

LMAO TRUE, it's garbage anime... but it's MY garbage anime. STILL, it really is a lot - even I never got around to reading every side story and i may have skipped a mainline novel or two (cough)
I did stop reading at NT10 though, so anything after that is a mystery to me.

[levelshift]

That's my view too :|b

Ohhh, okay so you know how NT9-10 were peak? Yeah, the arc right after is absolute dogshit. Just the absolute worst, I can't believe Kamachi wrote such trash (I mean I can BUT). The finale arc of NT is however back to peak and I highly recommend it.

GT is mostly up and down, I think it's pretty terrible with some good spots, I think the general fan reaction is that it's good.
