Hello Kyriakos!

Major Announcements:

◉ June's Activity Check is up.

◉ Sipp has stepped down from the plot team and from playing Nyssa. The mod team would like to thank her for everything she's done for the game playing Nyssa and helping both the current and last mod team coordinate the game's plot. She put in a lot of good work over the past year and Kyriakos as a whole is indebted to her for that. We wish her well going forward.

◉ The mod team will move forward with the plans that were already in place for the remainder of the Nyssa plot. We still intend to end the Nyssa plot this Summer. As of right now, our plan is to handle playing her in the rest of the plot internally. We do not plan to have open applications to play Nyssa, but if you are interested in playing her, please get in contact with the mods and we will discuss it with you.

◉ We're going to temporarily postpone the State of the Game post to Wednesday, July 6th. We're instead going to use this weekend to have several internal conversations among the mod and plot teams and begin advertising.

◉ We're planning to begin advertising this weekend and put up a new Test Drive Post ASAP. As of right now, we're intending to advertise on rpanons and rpmostwanted as well as app_this_plz when their next post goes up (we may put in a late advertisement on their last post as well). If you are aware of any other good places to advertise, please let the mod team know ASAP.

◉ The mod team will be putting up applications for positions on the plot team this weekend. We will be looking for two plot mods and we will be taking event runner apps as well. If you are interested in helping the plot team with the climax of the Nyssa plot and the future of Kyriakos, keep an eye out for the application post.

◉ Our next major plot event is scheduled for Saturday, July 9th. We have a minor plot event scheduled before then to happen soon, hopefully early during the week. Participation in the minor event will be open, sign-ups for the major event will go up soon.

◉ Regarding the timeline, the results of the poll tilted overwhelmingly towards a straight timeskip, and that is what we will be going with. On Sunday, we will skip forward to Day 235 Night, placing The Feral's game at the start of Day 235 and continuing forward with Day 236 Morning on Monday. We're aware that several players felt we should place the upcoming events out of time and place them on the timeline later, but we feel this would lead to a lot of confusion and ambiguity in the event itself, and we've had bad experiences in the past placing key plot events out of time. We feel taking things more linearly is the best way to keep the timeline stable. We'll be putting up a post for backdated interactions on Sunday.

◉ For the remainder of the Nyssa plot, the mod team has decided to not accept any further trauma game claims, as we believe that with us ramping up towards the climax of the Nyssa plot very soon and with physical, emotional and mental trauma being very possible as we do so, additional trauma games will conflict with the plot and be too much stress on the playerbase and the characters. If you are looking to run a trauma game in the future, please do not hesitate to keep designing it, we have a lot of ideas about trauma games and how they'll function in Kyriakos post-Nyssa plot that we're hoping to start sharing sometime soon.

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!
