Hi all! We wanted to give everyone a chance to respond and we think everyone who is going to has, so!
Rules change: From now on, the activity rule will be every TWO weeks, not every week. Most of you said that threads were moving slowly and you needed that time to finish them out. In addition, we're starting the activity count clean as of this week and starting fresh next week. However, we also plan to keep an eye on those characters who have been warned for inactivity in the past. If they continue to be behind, they will not get second chances like people who have not been warned at all.
Plot: LeRoy will be hosting a town hall meeting sometime soon. Everyone is invited (with a side of "it'd be really good for you to come) to this meeting. In it, he will discuss all the reports he has heard. Those citizens who have *not* reported any odd incidents will be invited to do so (either to LeRoy, Jonas or one of the deputies). It will also be announced that he is forming a "citizens patrol/neighborhood watch". Participants will volunteer to either patrol the town during the day / keep an eye out for unusual / have more immediate access to report unusual goings on. (They wouldn't be allowed to enter private residences but they would report any strange goings on). Special emphasis would be placed on stables/ stockyards/ any place that has reported trouble.
Please note that for plot to work, people really should share this information with each other and with the authorities. There are still plot points in play from the very beginning of the game (hint! hint!) and this would be the perfect time for them to come out. We don't want to *force* people to tell things and we've been trying to nudge it IC.
The town hall meeting will be on Saturday.
If you need more concrete suggestions on things your character can do to be involved in plot, please PM or ask at our contact post. We have a few ideas that will work best if only one or two people do them.
Dropping characters: If for some reason (and we know it happens) you have a character that just has not gelled or has lost their voice, this would be a good point to drop them. You can have them move to "NPC around town" status or move them out of the town completely. If you plan to drop a character that is currently involved with someone else, please check with the other player first. If you are below the current character cap, you can bring in a new character through the normal application process. Again we urge you to keep an eye on the ascendant/beloved count.
Please respond to this post or PM us to let us know if you are dropping a character. You have until Friday.
Once we have all notifications we'll set up another round of matches to be played beginning Monday.
PLEASE NOTE!! If a character has not responded to either this post or the previous one, we will consider them to have dropped from the game. This is necessary to ensure that no one is matched with a character who is not in play.
And as always, if you have general questions or suggestions for the plot, we're open!
The Mgmt.
