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.

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.)

I'm on the hunt for an Ebonhide girl to finally complete my own set (finally)~

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL, RIN.

i'm hoooping for a baby copperlady, because i need to make sure i still have a coppertale.

i used to NEVER play girls but if i play a baby copperlady then i would have three girls and one guy AND THAT'S JUST WILD.

THAT IS WILD. HOW DO YOU DO IT? I don't know why my lady characters never seem to click like my dude characters, but I've considered trying again.

i think quinn + freshsoph girl will be more girls than i ever played pre-retirement?!

omg i would've never imagined this. i enjoy your female characters A LOT for the record ;o;

i'm hoping for an ebonsoph girl because (a) guys i want a (full) quidditch player so bad and they have 2 and (b) i don't want to dupe the houses my characters are already in (ribbonfin & coppertale).

clem is going to absolutely dote on those ebonsoph girls if that influences your decisions at all

I'm also looking to finally snag an Ebonhide, but spots are limited in the boy's cabin so my alternative choice is probably Ribbonfin. If I ever do a 4th, I was thinking of a freshsoph Copperlady.

coppertale girl for me
and hopefully eventually a babby ribbongent if there is still a slot open. :S

I NEED AN AZURCREST TO FINISH MY SET.

MORE BIRDIES. ♥ Are you thinking guy or gal or TBD?

I want a Coppertale dude because I still have never had a Coppertale :(
But I should probably replace my Ebonguy too
Choices

Decisions are the haaaaard.

omg nobody can replace leo. ;_;

Ok but if you go coppertale dude we can finally be roomies tho

a fresh ribbongirl to replace this one~

Go guy

We can be coppertale roomies again

And I'm obviously apping a coppertale dude.

I'm apping Quentin. I'm not even trying to get a full set. I'm just gonna settle for two coppertales and solo forever.

Edited 2017-06-24 05:33 (UTC)

I probably will unless other people really want the guy slots or the concept I pin down just fits a girl better. I'm still shuffling through a few. GIRLS ARE HARD, ROZ. But yeah, roomies again could be fun! ♥

No love for birdies or fishies? :O

i'm losing both my girls so i'm gonna try and snag a baby copperlady freshsoph but if someone else beats me to it, c'est la vie

This still isn't an official list or anything, but here's the discussion in summary so far so we can all see where we stand. If I've put something in wrong, feel free to correct it. If you change anything (add your preferences, change your prferences, etc.) please leave a comment here too so that we all know it's not a mistake/have something to look back at.

Thank you all for humoring me~ This has been helpful! For me, at least. ♥

ohhhh this is nice, thank you. :D way easier for me to digest the information. i tried to find the announcement where they listed the new siblings on the roster because i thought it might be a handy reference to add, but i couldn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
