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.

You've had a one-winged angel, I offer... A twelve-winged angel.

Sandalphon here is ancient, a bit surly, a consummate tsundere, and not the greatest social butterfly himself. He's not the type to really mind Cloud doing the cool stoic routine, and I think they could get along/be clumsy at peopleing together.

[nimbuster]

Ooh, yes, I'd love CR with Sandalphon! I know him just a little through RP osmosis, and more Sandy is always welcome~ Cloud does like coffee...

[prevail]

Awesome! Cloud will get bonus points for appreciating coffee, and naturally he can have as much as he likes. What is Sandalphon if not the coffee angel? He's already thought about opening a cafe here, of course.

And looking at your list, sign me up for any of that. Love horror, fluffy material, exploration...all good things. I'm behind on Remake since no PS5, but I appreciated that they brought out more of the Cloud I saw in Crisis Core.

[nimbuster]

Hell yes! And yeah, I am beyond blown away by how perfectly they've nailed Cloud's character for remake-verse, don't get me started or I could gush about it all day LMAO.

[prevail]

They really did do a fantastic job, it was great seeing how they handled Cloud's character when I played the first installment. Honestly I'd be here for gushing if ever, it's always fun talking about characters and everything that goes into them.

Has part two continued to do him justice?

[nimbuster]

It has! It stays very faithful to the og while fixing all the issues og had and expanding on everything to give it all more weight. They handled his personal growth so well, too, it's so good. And all the mind fuckery really gets super creepy, it's awesome.

[prevail]

That's fantastic to read! I'd been wondering how they'd handle things once more of the plot got cooking... Especially glad his growth and the psychological stuff gets handled well, those elements are so important. I'm a Vincent enjoyer too and I think he's in there? Images I saw looked great.

[nimbuster]

Yeah, Vincent's there! Tbh they did such a good job with all the characters. I was never a fan of og Yuffie but Rebirth Yuffie is wonderful. And all while absolutely managing to preserve all the goofy nonsense from og too XD I love it.

[prevail]

Gosh that really is a glowing review, that's encouraging. I wish it was on PS4, but one day I'll get to playing it. Gotta see all this for myself.

In the meantime, looking forward to seeing Cloud in action here. I'll fling Sandalphon his way when the opportunity arises. Clearly, Cloud can use all the caffeine.
