Off the Island

Ok, Islanders! Several points to run down. First off, we've lost another player, so send love her way and update your Contacts List. If you have not yet, be sure to sign up for the tournament HERE if you want to be involved. Also, via this announcement, there will be a new movie in Revolve's theater. This can spawn some fun get-together scenes, from dates, to waiting in line together, to discussing the movie afterwards. Just a fun excuse to get several characters in the same place for interaction!

But, most importantly!!

This thread is going to be used for pottage between players! Throw up anything you need or want or could conceive of, regardless of how epic or silly or random it is. Anything from "I need someone to sit up and eat ice cream with" to "I want an epic fight with a grudge ending" to a partner in an escape attempt. Toss out ideas and reply to the ideas of others. Ready? Set? Go go go!

Hello, lovelies~!

For those of you who missed the announcement in the chat last night, we wanted to recap the information and give you all time to prepare for it. Our lovely mod Xi is going to be phasing herself out of the game, as at the end of July she may well have to leave the game as she is moving--to China! This is a very big and exciting event for her, even if we will miss her terribly. Before anyone starts to panic, we want to assure that the game is not closing, we will be continuing on and David will be looking for a co-mod eventually.

That said, the plot we are cooking up to work her out should be very exciting! It will take place in a few weeks and will result in the destruction of at least one block, at least one death and could result in escapes and all around in-character drama fun~! More details will be revealed as we near the date, so stay tuned!

Also, July Touranment!!
If you want to be involved in the July Tournament, please comment here, and adding in how far you would like to see your mutant get would be glorious. Commenting before Friday (the 26th) would be ideal if possible. ( More info on Tournaments )

Thanks again for all your enthusiasm and dedication to the game!
Much love!
Mods Xi and David

Ok, Islanders! We have a big event planned and want to bring you all in on the celebration!

( Celebrate good times--come on! )

We will be having the monthly tournament on the 6th, however, anyone who takes part in the 6 months event will only be required to write out one thread for the tournament. This will let us keep the tournament up but not totally overwhelm you awesome people. Please sign your mutants up for the tourney here.

Questions? Comments? Ideas? Post away, let's hear 'em! You all rock!

Also. Xi has fallen into some RL issues and is going to be busy the next week-ish. That means David's going to be the person to come to with problems/issues/concerns/etc. Send her some love and please bear with David and his scattered brain.

So, quick plot update for those of you w ho may have missed it!

Quicksilver took it upon himself to storm the island to try and save his sister, needless to say, this did not end too well for him. You can read the full thread here, but basically the assault took place at dawn, which is around 6AM on Revolve. Most of your kids would have been tucked happily into bed, but that does not mean it has to go unnoticed!

Shy sounded the alarm, so that could have woken people up, maybe Carr was dragged out of bed early to go be a grease monkey and fix something and was shoved back into his cell? Mutants and Owners can talk about the attack, and let's not forget that people are going to now have pre-conceived notions of the guy who would take on Revolve solo, and still manage to take out a few guards in the process. It's more than a bit impressive, so start plotting there!

Also, June 3rd is the game's 6 month anniversary, and us modly types are working on cooking up a fun little mini-vacation for your mutants to celebrate! Lee and one of her characters is going to be helping us out with making it all happen, but start thinking up who your mutants would be hanging out with, and which of them would have the biggest, strongest, most urgent wants to go somewhere--and where that 'somewhere' might be. There's lots of fun that can come out of this, including some bloody recapture-the-mutant fights, for those of you who would like them.

More details later, but start using your imaginations now. Groups of 2-4 would be ideal for fast-paced group threads.

Keep up the awesomeness, you awesome people you!

Hey guys, David here. :3

So uh. My boss is out on vacation for the week and I just discovered that I'm apparently second in command. My attention is scattered everywhere and so I'll probably be flustered until late on Friday, please forgive me for it. <3

That said, I still plan on having the breakout plot happen this week. It'll happen around 2:00AM on either Wednesday or Thursday. Humans will be thinking about exiting the island shortly and mutants will already be in lockdown, a lot probably asleep. First thing that will happen is that collars will stop working, and approximately ten minutes after that, every electronic door on the island (this includes cell doors, block doors, etc) will open and be STUCK open.

Mutants will have just under an hour before the cause is discovered and stopped. After an hour, collars will start to work again and cell doors will be closed. But those who are already out and running on the island? They'll have to be manually tracked down and dragged back. So start thinking what your charrie will do. Try and make a break for it? Raid the bar? Some could even be asleep and wake up JUST in time to have the Block doors slam in their faces. Humans who are on the island, what a freak out that will lead to! Will they be hurt by a mutant grasping at the straws of freedom? Much fun to be had.

Oh, and because I forgot.
With collars not working, guards will be equipped with stun guns, pepper spray, cattle prods, in some cases the power-repressing serum put into a gun, tranquilizer guns and riot grenades. (little exploding ball filled with hundreds of tiny plastic balls, it blows and flings the balls in every direction. Painful shit!) Those closer to Fischer's compound will be equipped with these within minutes of the collars going down, those further away will take up to half an hour to get one, so those who are near the sand/dirt arenas will meet with armed resistance a lot sooner than those who are in the park or near Yellow/White blocks or in the amusement park. As is always our policy, feel free to kill random NPC's. >:3

If you have a pref between it happening Wed or Thursday night, please comment here so I can plan accordingly.

Attention islanders,

This is a reminder that the rules and faq have been updated. Please make sure to familiarize yourselves with the changes.

Also, a game wide event is planned for after the tournament, tentatively for the following Thursday. This will involve temporary mutant freedom and possible serious fights and escape attempts. If this will cause serious issues for anyone's planned SL's, please let us know by replying to this post.

Also! Everyone please take a moment to pat yourselves on the back--we had at least one thread started every single day in the month of March! Actually, we have had at least one thread every day since February 21st! This is one hell of an active streak and is the best advertisement any of us could ask for. Keep at it, you are all awesome.

Thanks guys!

-Mods

An announcement has been made to avoid the forests around the island as it is believed that Ribbon has scampered off and taken up roost in the areas near by. She's decided to maintain her own home there and anyone she decides is trespassing has been killed and left in the open fields as a warning. It is understood that she has killed one mutant, hand selected undercover of darkness, from each block except for Black and slaughtered them. We are still searching for the missing body parts. Be aware and it is advisable to avoid this area at all costs.


OOC:

We have lost three characters.

Monoxide- m_monoxide Yellow
Speed- thomas_shepherd Green
George- anotheropendoor White

This will cover up their lack of action in the game as well as any possible related plots. Feel free to have your characters react to it or even find a missing body part. ♥

Friends adder has been updated here. All the contacts and characters pages have been updated.

Thanks again,

~Your Mods

Ok guys, we are officially back up and running!

The history of Revolve is in tact, the first tournament that took place in January happened, any "abandoned" canons should be regarded as random OC/NPC's. Ribbon has broken loose and is running a muck on the island. Fisher has become very stressed by this and as such has moved Shy into his personal compound and has buried himself in work. He is rarely seen to anyone other than Block Leaders and a select few, very important people.

Fischer, Ribbon and Genesis are now NPC's to be controlled by the mods, Shy is an NPC controlled by David, Red Block owner (info pending) is an NPC to be controlled by Megh. There are currently three block owners available for adoption, these are the Blue Block owner Karl Gleeson, and the Black and White Block owners, the Scott twins. While the twins are adoptable, they are to be adopted and played as humans, not as Di first wrote them. You can check out more info on all of our NPC's at blackline_npc.

The history for Wolverine and Iceman has been wiped, players are free to apply them with whatever history they desire. Rogue and Shadowcat are available for adoption, any players wishing to adopt them must in some way incorporate their history on the island up until now into their application. We are working on plotting the OC's of those who have left the game out, expect an update on this soon!

Please consider all threads previous to this post correct and part of the games history, other than the modifications listed above. We have defined many aspects of the island, including lock down times, hours of operation for the businesses on the island and the restrictions on humans. Please take some time to read over the new rules and FAQ to ensure you are up to date with how Revolve runs, and be aware that we will be strictly enforcing the activity requirements.

Also! From here on out we ask you to tag all your threads with your characters code name, or last name if your character is human. If you do not know how to do this, IM David at Feral Gibbs and he will happily walk you through it. Past threads have already been tagged with confirmed characters, adoptables and NPC's. Please also visit the Friend Adder, update the accounts of all characters you have in game, and leave a comment once this is done. This is so David can clean up the code on the friend adder and not have to go bonkers about too many remove lines.

Thank you for your continued support of ATBL, we are excited to be open and running again!!
