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.

YESSS we love an inactive villain!!!! Peter will be hella relieved by this factoid. This nerd will have so much to discuss with him, and frankly he'll be happy to have people around his age after losing everyone who knew him.

Laura will not stab... unless provoked. Watch yourself, Krouse. 👀

Did you know being an active villain sucks because everyone is mad at you and wants to throw you in a garbage can? Valuable life lessons learned there. Devoting your life to being a gamer and having strong opinions about nerd things is the safer path in life. Krouse also coincidentally lost everyone he knew due to his own actions, so what's a better foundation for new branching out than 'oh, god, I have nothing'?

For all the lows Krouse has stooped to actively antagonizing eleven year olds for the hell of it is not yet one of them. That's not to say he can't be or won't be annoying in other ways, so if he does get stabbed, he has it coming.

SAME BUDDY, SAME. It sucks losing everything you've got. 😭👍 We'll play videogames and try to find some net positives in this situation. And Peter has learned how to properly help villains become better, so there's that!!!!

[the walking dead game font] Laura will remember that.

Krouse thinks he neither needs or wants to get better, but I the player would be very enthused for him to discover he's 1. wrong and 2. could really use a new videogamer buddy who happens to be an actual good influence. The mingle is already looking promising!

Laura can have a little a stab as a treat.
