MarinaNova OOC

First of all, we want to thank you all for your support, help, and your ideas. You certainly left us a lot to read, and it's clear this game inspires a lot of passion.

There is a lot of information to cover, and I am sure we're going to miss things, so for anything you don't see, please feel free to ask. If we have an answer ready, we'll tell you, and if we don't we'll work on getting one ready.

In making these decisions we really wanted to look at the playerbase's varying input, maintaing a balance between embracing and making the best of the opportunity/challenge before us while not going so far as to make the game no longer "feel" like Marina, and working with a revised narrative for the game. Some decisions flowed naturally from that. Some decisions were made to help streamline modding. We'll start with some of the fun stuff!

( In which we discuss a lot of things and write until our fingers fall off so that you can read until your eyes bug out! )

Questions
Lots of issues were discussed. If you'd like a definitive answer you didn't see here, please ask below! Some things are still being considered. Just not necessarily for the game's launch.

Visit this link, discussing the actual practical steps to making this move as smooth as possible! Please read it through carefully and go through the easy steps as soon as possible, so we can get this show on the road in time!

We're really excited about everything and we hope you are too. Change isn't easy, but we'll get through this together! Raptors!

If you are a current inmate of marinasylum then you have been accepted!

Any belongings you may have acquired in your stay in Marina Asylum will be missing. Your weapon, if you had one, and even your clothes are gone. Instead you are wearing an orange jumpsuit. Whatever was in your pockets can be found in a plain brown bag somewhere near your present location. You are also wearing a slightly weighted ankle monitor which is currently restricting your powers. Belongings you wish to see returned may be requested from Veridical and Conscienti. The monitor will be removed at the end of the day pending good behavior. You still have your communicator, your health, and your cheery disposition.

Please...

• Create a Contact/HMD page and respond to the Taken Page with your journal and the appropriate information.

• Join the marinanova and marinanova_ooc communities, plus marinanova_lol, the meme community, if you are so inclined.

• Please comment here with your character's game tag, so it may be added accurately.

• Feel free to follow the mod plurk if you have not yet done so. It has not changed.

You'll be accepted to the IC comm after all of the above is done (and we have time) but definitely by our opening of Monday, July 2. Posting will be turned off until Day 174's daypost can go up. When you post, include "voice/video/action" in the subject line along with that day's number, and your tag.

The sooner you can do these things the better shape we will be in for having everything ready. However, we won't allow anyone to app any current marinasylum characters on the July applications regardless of whether this has been done.

You must follow these steps before the start of the August app session to secure your character without having to reapp.
