⏵ March State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello and welcome to Etraya! We were very excited to see all the players interested in our new game when we put up our interest check, and are glad to have you guys join us! Thank you for applying to join Etraya and giving our game a chance. At this point, we have 35 Characters who have applied in for our first round. Given that applications do not close until 3PM PST today, there is still time to get in any last-minute applications! As a heads up, we have updated our FAQ to reflect that mod posts, including mission posts and OOC intros, will be posted at or before 3PM PST on the day they are meant to go up. We don't want to give ourselves a strict time, given we appreciate having the flexibility to make last-minute changes as needed to suit our player base, but do promise we will get them up by 3PM PST. We'll be updating our LOCATIONS page over the next week with additional places based on those who applied and were accepted; if there's any location 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. Those who have not completed this by the day AC closes will be removed from the game. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Please use the below form to introduce yourselves (or don't, we're not cops, introduce yourself how you want) and let us know of any upcoming plans you're looking forward to in game!

Hello hello, me too! It's going to be so fun to see how he changes and how that affects their rapport!

[equivo]

I hope he gets to surprise her by suddenly getting way too intense about achieving a victory condition and then pins that on being a Gamer, which is both kind of true and another massive lie.

[myagic]

Yes PLEASE I hope so too. Also should any kind of games ever come up - I need you to know Rita is the sort of person who pretends to be too cool and disinterested but is absolutely competitive and a sore loser, so that has funny potential.

[equivo]

Krouse will be taking full advantage of the arcade games in the apartment building rec room and not so secretly trying to secure the high score position on all of them as a point of personal pride, so he will absolutely egg this on. He was not fun to play against in the e-sports days, I can tell you that much. A lot of rage on other people's end.

[myagic]

lmao I love that for him, I hope he starts so many game score grudges. I want to say Rita's probably less likely to care about scoreboards compared to playing someone in person, but if she gets annoyed enough...

[equivo]

It's okay that she lacks a True Gamer's Spirit...not everyone is cut out for the competitive circuit... < said in the smuggest tone imaginable

GOD he will be successful in getting her so riled up, I can't wait
