May Events & Activity Announcement
Hello, friends!
We're here with the events for May, but we also wanted to give a head's up regarding activity. As you all know, we did waive activity requirements for March and April given the state of the world at large. We have decided that we will be counting activity again starting in May. However, since we know that things are still in flux, activity is only required for half your cast; for example, if you play 10 characters, you only have to have activity for 5 of them at the end of the month.
That being said, it is important to us that this game continues to be an easy-going environment that you can come to for release and fun, but we also understand that it can be difficult for some to be creative in times like this as everyone responds differently. When we created this sandbox, we wanted it to be a no pressure atmosphere and that's just as true now as it was then. So if you find yourself unable to meet requirements, please try not to stress -- just let us know. We love you all and want you to be taking care of you first. If there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Also, please note in the calendar that we have included a plot for the entire month. It is entirely optional, but we are hoping that it will help people ease back into the memories and the flow of the game. 💗
🌼 MAY EVENTS
ALL MONTH
For the month of May, the idea of shared dreams is taken to a whole other level when people start to have dreams of lives and memories of others. This has always been possible for people who share canons and might view events from their character's perspective, but this time it's a bit different as anyone can get a glimpse into their other lives. For example, Jack could have a dream about Harry's first Quidditch game and Phoebe could have the same dream at the same time and it will be as real to her as it would be for him.
This plot is completely optional, but feel free to go wild with it. Obviously we ask that you discuss with others whether or not your character might see a memory, so feel free to use the space below to plot, if you want. We also have a spot to sign up any of your characters for a random match, if you want a surprise interaction. You can write the memories out in narrative format if you'd like, but you don't have to do that -- just be sure to discuss with anyone who might be seeing the dreams while you're plotting!
