goose_ooc | UPDATES: PLEASE READ THIS!!!

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.

Mine can't be. I have to replace my fluffy/sparkly/ridiculous seniors. He/She is going to get eaten alive. :')

a sweet, innocent babychild. pray for their soul.

I don't know if it'll go that far, but probably not a little monster, at least. I just need someone happy to balance out Casper's anger issues, Lachlan's anxiety, and Space Cadet Cole.

i get you lmao i gotta balance my cast list too :|a i feel like all my characters are just me spinning an enneagram wheel and hoping it lands on a few Personality Type

me too same but like I love all of your characters I am going to miss Anuhea and Xavier having dude/dude wards

dude..... dude......... same, although i may be biased bc any time i can throw a character at zav, i will.

also honestly i cursed anuhea my personal rhetorical style and i feel kind of bad about it but not that bad bc the dude wards are funny as hell

my method is: make a character that is basically just me in disguise, hope no one notices that there are six characters with my exact same fears and interests with only superficial differences running around. And somewhere in there I cry probably.

hey quick q: is there anything more horrifying than the sudden realisation that you have more in common with your character than you previously thought? asking for a friend

yes and it's the sudden realization that the character you have a disturbing amount on common with is riley

tho also I relate to uly so much that when you first joined I looked at his profile and was just like "wtf new guy you don't even know me how are you already calling me out like this"

don't you dare badmouth sweet angel riley mae whom i love very much. having things in common with her is a privilege.

i cannot tell you how delighted i am to hear that i was able to terrorise you that early :> i'm sorry i said that if ulysses was an alcohol he'd be laphroaig + backwash

you're all weak, all my characters going into Y2 are gonna be extra unfriendly so i can dispense with the need to INTERACT with OTHER CHARACTERS

Iliya has no choice. His cabinmates need him. ♥ SORRY.

hate to break it to you marin but your surly characters can't escape my nosy characters

That only makes me want to bother them more. :I

I have this reverse problem and noticed too many of my y2 carry overs are NICE which is ANNOYING so I'm brewing a special kind of hell for my next one to two characters. Balance~

i am so weak because i was looking at a y2 where calvin was my most approachable character and well oh hey looks like there's a cute name over in coppertale hmmmm...

is this the junior :>

y-yes

oh boy oh boyy

r u gonna change Benjamin's name if he gets dropped?

no :x

Benjamin's staying, he's getting the prefect badge, Marin made a cute name to replace the Ogletwin and............ I'm sniping that name. So if someone has designs on Ben, he'll still be there.

Yippee!!!

I will not listen to this slander against your beautiful kids. ♥ BUT WE'VE GOT THIS. I HAVE FAITH IN US.

I BELIEVE

HALLELUJAH.
