⏵ June State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴
Hello, Etrayans!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Based on player responses, we're going to make a few changes to help balance out the game and make it easier to interact with:
- Instead of large monthly missions, we'll be moving to a more flexible schedule.
- We'll have mingle logs up after every application round, with mini optional 'missions'. These mingle logs may include prompts within current missions if a mission is running long.
- Mingle logs will also include prompts using a few of our locations. We won't be taking private spaces (IE, the Batcave), but will be utilizing other added locations for prompts to encourage exploration. For any areas belonging to characters that we're a little unsure of using for open prompts (S.T.A.R Labs, the Academy), we'll be messaging the player who submitted those locations for confirmation it's alright to use them before adding them to logs. Please don't be too worried if you get a DM from the mod journal!
- We'll be leaving a comment on our State of the Game post for mingle suggestions! If Dean Winchester wants to play with some of his magical books in his bunker and have hijinks occur that affect the player base, we'll add that in! Or if Barry tries to mess with the timeline (when he knows he really shouldn't. Look at all the disasters he's caused) we'll add a few prompts regarding that on our monthly mingle!
- Large missions will go up every other month at most.
- Missions may occur over multiple logs depending on the mission itself! For example, missions like the Labyrinth may take a couple of months, with a few logs going up with prompts for things to do within the mission. We will continue using only one plotting post on the OOC comm, linked within each relevant log.
- For lengthy missions, we will still have, at minimum, a one-month break between them. Continuing with the previous example, if the Labyrinth runs over two months, the third month will have the usual mingle after the application round with mini, optional missions but won't have a larger, meatier mission. The mission will instead be put off until the month after, to allow for at least four weeks of cooldown time between missions. This will allow more time for CR development outside of these logs.
- We'll keep offering opportunities for characters to drive the direction the game is going! This was always part of our intention; while the game is larger, and thus a little more difficult to keep up with the individual actions of characters, we've got our eyes peeled for what characters are up to and will reach out to players if we think there's something fun we can implement off of what they're getting into! If players have ideas, please feel free to reach out to us via the plotting post, or mod contact. When creating Etraya, one of our goals was to be able to respond to player inquiries with "yes, and" as often as possible.
- Opportunities for characters to "choose" the next mission will continue to be offered where applicable.
- TDMs will continue to function on the comics logic of, it's happening but happening out of time and thus, can whenever you want it to. This helps us integrate new characters, gives fun opportunities for dropping them into the game, and gives current players more flexibility to play with TDM prompts.
If you have any additional feedback, please add it to the feedback post, or even to the state of the game under mod queries! As stated in the original post, we'll put one of these up once every three months or so. We want to make sure our game is fun for everyone who wants to join us, and we welcome input from our players! After all, there would be no Etraya without you!
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 dates of the upcoming mission and Activity Check due dates. For new characters, activity is responding to the ACTIVITY CHECK page using the formatting provided.

ABOUT YOU: i like to read comics except also comics suck. usually i follow dc (bats, supers, flash, sometimes lanterns) and marvel (mostly xmen and the young avengers) sometimes! outside of that, i used to game but don't have the time for it anymore, there's a bunch of book series i've read through/..some that need catching up on. i've got an outdated character list here which probably better shows my interests than me trying to remember what i'm into. my plurk tl is a lot of rp commentary (i also play damian wayne
CHARACTER: Sam(il), an OC from the same universe as
CHARACTER INFO: I've got info and world history posts but tl;dr: Sam's an early twenties nephilim(ish) who likes to start fights with things bigger than him just to see what happens. He's rowdy and occasionally playflirty, and ignores other people's bubbles because personal space doesn't exist. He doesn't lie, ever, and he can be a little stupidly blunt at times. It's intentional.
He won't be happy with being displaced and brought there, but mostly because he's busy thanks. Sam doesn't give two shits about his world and thinks it's probably better if it does just die off on its own, but he does have a few people back there he cares about that he'd like to not die, so.
While he's spent a while on his own, he's also used to working with others and will likely be figuring out what everyone else's deal is. Partially because he's nosy, and partially because Sam functions better watching someone else's back.
CR NOTES: Anything! Sam's relatively easy to get along with for most people. People to spar with for funsies (he's durable, and heals fast), people to antagonize just to see where it goes, friends to hang with, enemies to start unending fights with.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm interested in whatever! I like things.
