UPDATES: PLEASE READ THIS!!!

[goosemods]

UPDATES:

• The endgame event will be split in two: the victims plot will be posted Saturday June 24th, and the rescuers plot with all the spooky puzzles Marin is building will be posted Sunday June 25th. Despite these time discrepancies, the event will be taking place at midnight tonight in-world.


• REGARDING RESCUERS: please keep in mind that rescuers have activity requirements in order to unlock clues. If you don't post regularly with them to your group thread, you will hold back your group from making progress. Please read THIS COMMENT from Marin about how the event will work.
  • To give you an idea: each section of the event will require each member posts at least once before the group can continue to the next section. This might not sound like a lot, but we anticipate that you'll want to go through about a dozen sections over the course of the week, to get the full impact of the event.
  
  
  • If this ends up becoming an issue, you can contact the mods for help, or we may pop in and inquire what's going on if we see a group thread that's stalled for a couple days.
  
  
  • If you're overwhelmed, don't be afraid to ask the mods to woodsnap your character and make them a victim instead. We also have a means by which to split large groups, which we will only do without your permission if the numbers reach 6+ (this will be a random event in these cases). We have some cool, spooky means by which to do so that would not only lighten your load, but also would be fun to play!


• If your victim doesn't have a confirmed rescuer, we'll randomize someone to find them. No one's being left behind. If your rescuer doesn't have a group, then we will be randomizing them on the day of the event. If you do not want to be randomized, make your arrangements now. Please check THIS SPREADSHEET for the current groups. Make your plans either below or on the EVENT PLOTTING POST. Remember, groups can be as few as 2 people! Also, if at all possible, please have no more than five rescuees per group.


• Graduation will be posted sometime late this afternoon because I have to make a bunch of not-fun maps!!!


• Following the endgame plot's conclusion, we'll be making some more announcements about changes in Year 2 regarding mechanics and the game setting. We'll also try to give you firm dates on things like when we'll reveal the new cast list, when will we release TAs and club presidents, when holds will open, etc.


• While we won't be hosting a plot calendar, there will be a post available in the near future for everyone to plan out any IC/OOC events they'd like to run in July.


• If you plan on dropping a character over the summer, please let us know as soon as possible so we can replace their name on the cast list! It'd really help your mods out. ♥ You can keep playing them until the end of July even if you alert us of your intentions now. Next year, we're going to be tougher on inactive characters, so summer's a good time to think about what you can keep up with.

QUESTIONS

Re: QUESTIONS

[lilwitchhazel]

Is it better to have more groups with less people or to have less groups that are all or almost all full, do you think?

Re: QUESTIONS

[goosemods]

Ehhhh, complicated answer. I'd like as few groups as possible; however even more than that, I'd prefer that everyone to make their own group arrangements before the event starts. So if the best solution for players involves more groups with less people, that's fine.

Also, I will likely loosen activity requirements once we're halfway through the week; I only added activity requirements because I don't want anyone to try speedrunning through the event. The point is story, interaction and atmosphere; not trying to "win." So if anyone thinks they might struggle with a five person scene, I will change the rules later to make it easier to progress, so don't worry TOO MUCH about that.

PLOTTING

Re: PLOTTING

[sylla]

Sylla's running out as a solo rescue at first because that's just how she rolls but she can meet up with another rescuer group along the way!

Since she's a horrible person and likes to go it alone you can randomize her (or she can run into Dimi or someone? IDK SHE'S AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO DOES THINGS HER WAY THESE ARE MY TROUBLES 🙁)

Re: PLOTTING

[heyitsnia]

I OFC WOULD BE 100% A+ SUPERGREEN with Sylla meeting up with the Scooby Gang, if the rest of the Scooby Gang approves?

Re: PLOTTING

[cheerpowers]

JUST A HEADS UP. For Ana's rescuing group and Milo's (once I figure his out), I am working Sunday. I WILL tag once I get off though, so don't worry! I just wanted everyone to know so maybe I don't go first?

MILO Needs a rescue group!

[cheerpowers]

Please help him find Bianca guys

[quinning]

ALRIGHT, CREW. WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE SO BELOW IS A SUGGESTED GROUP LIST with all groupless rescuers & victims assigned to groups.

Rin, Katie, and I suggested groups for: Jeremiah, Isabelle, Sybilla, Tabitha, Joanna, Antonia, Isaiah, Milo, Bianca, Dominic, Fern, Regan, and William. Find them in THE SPREADSHEET or click on the image below:

(Once I post this comment I'll email it to every player whose character was previously unassigned so they know they should weigh in!)

YEAR 2 TALK

Re: YEAR 2 TALK

[dollywould]

Several times I've promised Kas that my next character is going to be Canadian and then I keep lying to her, so please reject me if my y2 bb is not a Canuck thx

Re: YEAR 2 TALK

Re: YEAR 2 TALK

[sylla]

SIGH OKAY JUST NEED TO SUCK IT UP AND DO IT

I'll drop Holden for good this time :(

For the mods

[theniceboy]

I'm dropping Teo

I'd drop box this but it's probably pretty obvious by now. I've played this poor kid like four times.

Re: YEAR 2 TALK

[chryseis]

Weird career focus suggestions??? Why are you characters at Gooseberry instead of the much safer and lamer Ilvermorny?

One of mine wants to be a hypnotist and needs to take Occlumency VERY SERIOUSLY.

One of them loves Cryptids and nature.

One of them is fleeing interaction from the law.

Freshsoph Distribution

[casperkim]

So this isn't an official count or anything, but as we all talk about Y2 characters more I'm semi-anxious about the possibility of stepping on each other's toes in terms of available house spots for our new freshsophs. Soooo, if you guys don't mind me asking, what are you all thinking at the moment? Humor me if you feel like it~ ♥

I'm definitely looking to go Coppertale to finish up my set, but I haven't decided guy or gal just yet. (Though, given my track record, probably guy. :( Girls are hard. IDK.)
