Converting to a GPSL

Hey all. Your mods have done a lot of talking lately and due to having a lot on our plates, we've decided that it's better to relax things on the game even more. So we're officially converting LW to a group PSL. What this means is that you as players will have more freedom to decide what to do with your characters. The aliens will be rocketing smaller groups of people around to planets and may do so more frequently.

What this means is that you don't have to wait for us as mods to change the planet. If you want to throw some characters on a planet-go for it. If you want to do that for one thread and then have them end up somewhere else, go for it. And if one player introduces a planet that sounds interesting to you, feel free to set your characters there as well. We do ask that you stay with the setup of the game though-so no adding alien species to the spaceship, etc.

This also means that we won't be checking activity as much. So if you feel the need to focus on one character for a period of time, go for it. We've all been playing together long enough that we trust you to be accountable to your fellow players. All that we ask is that you still try to finish threads or at least communicate if you need to drop a thread. And we ask that you tell us if you'd like to drop or add a character. We will no longer be requiring applications, so we just ask that you tell us which characters you'd like to bring in if you get an inkling to do so. We will still accept new players, but brand new to our group will be asked to do an application for their first character just so we can get a feel for their writing style.

We do still have a lot of planets planned, so I will still do OOC posts describing planets that I'm choosing to put my characters at and you can decide if you'd like your characters to join mine there or go elsewhere.

Your characters are also welcome to revisit any planets that we've explored in game before. And of course, you're welcome to come up with your own ideas. We're hoping that this will free things up for all of us and give the game the chance to be more player-driven.

Any questions?
