⏵ August State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴

Hello, Etrayans!

Thank you to those who reached out to us when we put out a call for additional moderators! We've added to our team, and have some fun plans going forward that we hope you'll enjoy!

With the added manpower we've gotten, we've opted to remove the ten players per application round cap we had previously. We removed this just before this last app round, but given we hadn't made an official announcement yet - here it is!

As of September's application round, players in the game can app up to three characters, instead of our current two.

We will also return to having TDMs every other month instead of every three months.

For some missions, we will not have a set date for the conclusion log. We will have a limit on how long the mission can continue but will leave the ending more open-ended to allow players to influence the conclusion. This upcoming mission is a good example: we have the starting date of September 13th on the calendar, which is when the first log will go up. There is a mingle log on September 27th, but no stated date for the wrap-up log. This will occur sometime between the fourth and the eighteenth of October, but we want to leave room for character actions to impact the result, and thus, not limit ourselves to a specific date.

If you have any questions, please put them under the mod queries top-level below.

Additionally, don't forget your Activity! For new players, this is just their comment with their handle and their characters' names. This is not due for new characters until September's activity round (given how close this one has run to the new month starting), but is due for current players before September 1st.
