goosemodsMAKING A BRAND NEW ANNOUNCEMENT POST because I need to make sure everyone reads this!!!
- Everything that was written in your journals during the event is GONE. You flip through the pages and it's like all of those posts and comments never happened.
- For the aftermath: You may post journal entries from now until 8 AM MT tomorrow, dated to immediately after your character wakes up. Please note that the in-game date is Saturday, June 25. I know that's not a lot of time, sorry!
- The journal network will then be taken offline by the MACUSA while they investigate the incident. That's the official IC explanation for the journal blackout.
- The journal network will come back online on Friday, July 7 at 8 AM MT. That's 2014 in-game, and 2017 OOC, so we sync back up. You may use this post to plot out what your character was up to during the blackout period.
EVENT ENDING TOMORROW!
Jul. 3rd, 2017 10:09 pmgoosemodsHey guys, we've decided officially that tomorrow is the last day of the event. Meggie and Marin are long overdue for their mod vacation, and this event has been very time-consuming for us to run. It's definitely been worthwhile and a lot of fun, but we just can't continue past tomorrow and also keep our real world jobs.
This means...
This means...
- If your character is not rescued by the end of tomorrow, then it happened off-screen. If you really want to scene it, we can set up a RESCUING SO-AND-SO comment for you, but we won't be running teleports or sending Pearl out. All the in-between stuff will be handwaved.
- Everyone will be rescued even if their rescuers didn't reach them during the event. No exceptions.
- I know a few of you are en route to your rescues right now, and those connections will be posted soon. We're just slow because one of us is badly in need of a break, but I'm working on it!
- The special petition event will happen tomorrow afternoon. Even if your character hasn't been rescued on-screen yet, we're going to handwave that they have, and that everyone is safe and secure before being whisked away for this last adventure. It's undecided how ambitious we're going to be in its presentation, but either way we won't be waiting on people who are chosen to participate but can't post when it's up.
- The characters going to retrieve the heart are: Ferdinand Ayers, Calvin Evercreech, Casper Kim, Estella Morales-Tran, Antonia Papadakis, Micah St. Clair and Zachary Zheng.
- On Wednesday, we'll be posting about the aftermath to the endgame event. We will probably also post a no-fuss IC/OOC for your post-endgame reunions.
- Starting Friday, July 7th, you can start plotting, organizing and posting summer vacation IC/OOCs for your characters.
- Aside from business related to the 10 Year Reunion, the mods will be off duty for at least a week or two. Then we'll start dealing with club presidents, TAs, and other misc. issues relating to Year 2.
- If you have anything besides waiting for us to connect you to a rescue via Pearl or a key (we'll be with you in a sec) please let us know. We might have missed it.
CLEAN UP STAGE
Jul. 2nd, 2017 10:41 amgoosemodsOkay guys, we're officially in the clean up stage which means a few things:
- If you've saved all the people you're assigned to, then the only attention from the mods I can guarantee is ghost encounters. We're very busy wrapping up other groups in time, so you'll have to entertain yourselves for the rest of the event. Especially if you already have multiple rescuers out there in the mix.
- At this point we've got plans for the flow of every group to get them where they need to be, including pre-planned party splits, so we can't be very flexible. :( We don't want to rush anyone, but that means we have to potentially decline some of your requests so we don't slow down the adventure.
- However, if any parties that have finished their rescues or contain only 2-3 people (and aren't about to add more) would like to link up, we'll do our best to accommodate.
- In the effort of keeping things moving but also not cutting short emotional scenes, you may request time skips so that your group can move to the next area while you backtag with rescued victims.
- So long story short: our energy is focused on getting people rescued and not much else!
FINAL PETITION EVENT: Finding the Heart
Jun. 30th, 2017 06:01 pmgoosemodsWhen everyone is rescued, there's going to be a final event that will be limited to just a small handful of characters. We figured that making it a petition event was the fairest way to handle who gets to go, and you guys said you liked the petition system. I realize this is short notice, but thank you for participating and taking the time to look at this!

WE'RE SAVED!
Jun. 28th, 2017 07:42 pmgoosemodsHey guys! We're going to start seeing people rescued from their dreams preeeetty soon, which is exciting, of course, but also poses some problems and questions. Here are our thoughts and notes:
- With more characters being awake, please don't overload yourself! People will still be solving puzzles, and inactive characters can slow down rescuer threads dramatically.
- As such, if your character gets rescued and you don't want to have them participate in the game, there will be an option to have them wait in a safe space.
- They can either be too weak or still asleep, and therefore unable to help even if they wanted to.
- On their next teleport, they will then be safely taken to a location where they can be looked after and no one will need to fear for their safety.
- We highly recommend not having any more than three active rescuers at a time.
- We don't want to wake up any characters who you're not ready to have out and bout. So please reply below with a) if you're ready for a character to be rescued, b) who that would be.
- We can't guarantee sooner rescues just because you ask for it, since timing depends on how your rescuers are doing.
- If your group gets too large (6+) they're liable to get split up. If your group hits 8+, they will absolutely be split up.
ATMOSPHERE!
Jun. 26th, 2017 10:00 amgoosemodsHi everyone! I'm going to introduce you guys to atmosphere!
Periodically, the goosemods account will jump into your threads to add something. These comments will often not have follow-ups, or will only have one or two. Most of the time, they're not going to contribute to puzzle solving or precede any sort of larger event. They're just to add flavor and make the setting feel more responsive.
So pretend that you're in a giant point and click adventure, and sometimes when you investigate items and parts of the area rather than just go straight for the puzzle's solution, you'll get atmosphere.

END GAME PLOT PLANNING
Jun. 18th, 2017 09:25 amgoosemodsHi guys, this post is going to be vague on details, but we're putting together the climax of the game, and need an idea of what kind of numbers we're going to be dealing with.

NPC MOD APPLICATIONS
Jun. 18th, 2017 09:12 amgoosemodsIn preparation for the June endgame event, we’ll need volunteers to run RNG events and play NPCs. The mods would like for everyone to get a chance at a ~spooky encounter~ before the year is up, however we are very limited in the number of scenes we can keep up with. That’s where you all come in!
Please fill out the application below if you’re interested in helping the mods run this event! The bulk of the work will be writing NPC encounters for other characters. We have provided an example profile of one of the NPCs you’ll be playing, and two sample tags to respond to. We have a lot of players and a lot of characters, so we’re hoping to get as many NPC mods as we can.
