Major Announcements:

◉ Firstly, the game information has been completely revamped and is ready to go live this weekend. We'll give you an additional heads up on Plurk when the actual changes will be happening, as links and other things may temporarily disappear, be switched around, etc.! We anticipate the change to take about one evening to get set up properly, so it won't be too long! We want to thank you for your patience with this as we've been working on things on the side along with everything else that has come to us. And we're really excited to share everything with you and hope it's to your liking as well!

◉ When the new information is ready to go, we expect to start advertising for the purposes of recruiting new players soon after! If you know of any places that are good for advertising, let us know!

◉ Recently, the mod team altered the rules of the echo cap. You can now play a maximum of three non-patron echoes and Patron echoes count as distinct from non-patron echoes for the purposes of the cap.

◉ The plot team will be looking for additional help to work on the Nyssa plot soon, either in the form of event runners, an additional plot mod or both. We will clarify exactly what we're looking for and have sign-ups posted soon.

◉ The mod team would like to put together the game's next gamewide discussion/state of the game post next week on July 2nd. We're aware that placing the event of 4th of July weekend may make it difficult to participate in, so we'd like to hear people's opinions and if they won't be able to make it that weekend so that the mod team can move it forward either forward or backwards. Whenever the post does go up, the mod team hopes to, as well as facilitating discussion of the game, address several subjects about the work they've been doing behind the scenes and issues facing the game.

◉ The plot team expects the Nyssa plot to be concluded this summer. We do not have an official date yet, but we are hoping to have one we can share by the state of the game post.

Reminders:

◉ People claiming events on the calendar: while we don't mind if you want to organize and use the calendar for team-related activities aside from games and mod-approved mini-events, please e-mail the mods first before putting it there!

◉ Game runners: Please make sure you update the win doc after a game!

Hello Kyriakos!

We have a few things we'd like to bring to your attention before we work on updating the game info tomorrow Echo/patron and Cat players, two of these apply to you! And teams, we'll need something from you as well.

Echo/patron players! In a motion to try to streamline things and make access easier for things like game running, hiatuses and other things, we're going to make the Echo/patron page all access to everything, so a person only needs to make a single stop to a single page for all information about contact/borrowing/corunning/hiatuses/drops/etc., instead of having various pages and docs for them as some of them are very outdated as it is. Here is an example for what to expect! The list will reflect everything we can find from current players from all existing documents and pages - so when it goes live, we'd like everyone to look it over and comment to the post to make any appropriate changes to things! We've added a separate drop description as well if they happen to differ from the hiatus activities. We've also added a section for easy finding for your Echo's contact post!

Cat players! We're also looking to streamline the memory request post and make it simpler and easier both for players and mods/housekeepers. As Cats keep track of their own registries much like the rest of the game, there's no real need for a list of their regained memories as they can link threads and mark things off themselves. Many Cats don't make use of the post as it is and just tend to things themselves with choosing their own out of game memories or asking for a random choice on Plurk. We're looking to make it a simple request post, somewhat similar to the quest requesting post where any player is free to track things and offer a memory if one goes up if a mod or helper isn't around to get back to it quickly. We wanted to bring this up in the event any Cats want to go gather links from the post there now if they haven't already linked things off on their own registry and write up pages.

Teams players (including Cats too)! The new team page that we have ready is going to serve as an all access page, meaning dorm and uniform descriptions as well as HTML color code information, IRC channels, Plurk emotes and so on. One of the things we'd like to link for each team are those inventory docs that went around some time ago - that seem to come and go in terms of getting lost with apps and drops in terms of keeping updated since they're not linked anywhere specific. This example is the doc we're talking about! They were just for keeping track of what character has what, what they have in their rooms, pets, chores, things like that. If this is a good idea, please find those docs and contact your teams to get them updated and comment to this post with them so we can have them prepared tomorrow!

Thanks a lot guys. If you have any questions or concerns, like always please e-mail us at kyriakosmods@gmail.com!
