Sunday Speakeasy

Another week comes to an end!

This is a weekly wrap-up post where you're welcome to talk about what happened in the game over the last week, gush about new shiny CR, plot for the week to come, check in on smaller mod announcements and play around with the IC Question of the Week!

You're also welcome to post your own mini-memes, random questions or completely unrelated topics of conversation if you wish!

	CHARACTER LIMIT marinanova_mod 2013-05-19 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	We have removed the extra character permission slots. We prefer to have one simple, standing rule without extra loopholes that applies to everyone in the game consistently. The current character limit is six per player. No exceptions. It is always possible this will be increased, but only if we see a large and sustained growth in the overall membership of the game.

These aren't exactly new, but they might be new to you if you haven't gone exploring or you've forgotten about them.

- Permissions: Add yours. Fill out others! Enjoy!
- Post office: There are postcards available as well as anything you need for letters and packages. Send some love (or hate) mail!
- Game calendar: All the stuff that happens and when! Or at least the things that are planned.
- Player-run businesses: We have some! We could have more! There are empty facilities just waiting for the warden to approve something especially if it is something unique!
- Sector 4: Garden plots: You can grow your own garden!

	DROP DIGEST marinanova_mod 2013-05-19 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Not everyone does an OOC comm drop post, and we're a touch on the efficient side when it comes to removing people from the other drop post, so we thought we'd help castmates and CR out by letting you know who have left us: - Saber, undyingideal - Jim Moriarty, semtexed (Reply to this) (Parent)

	PLOT WITH ME marinanova_mod 2013-05-19 07:39 pm UTC (link)

	In true old-school fashion we're bringing back the random questions from the old AC/HMD post! The flavor of the week is: Who was your character hoping to see this newbie day? Who were they dreading? Why? (Reply to this)

Basketball

So, once I get some things wrapped up, either this day-week or next day-week (depending on the event), Duo will be doing up another basketball meeting mingle to pick teams, team names, etc.

Number of teams will depend on interest. It would be nice to have more than just two.

Cheerleaders are welcome to offer their services for half-time entertainment. :)

Official post will be set up this weekend. In the meantime, interested people can sign up either IC or OOC on this post and I will add your character to the official post once it's up.

At this coming mingle, Duo will be asking for team captain volunteers/votes. Initial team members can pick their own captains. If enough people join, additional teams can be made from people willing to split from their existing team to a new one, or Duo will reshuffle via the names-from-a-hat method. Rearranged teams can then pick their own captains again from their current ranks.

If they really really want to, Duo might let them pick new names/mascots/uniforms/etc, but only if they beg enough. ;)

Hey! I just wanted to point out that with the nature of the upcoming event, routine mingles like sport meetings will most likely not be possible. This is not meant to discourage you, it's just a heads up that this BIG event is almost guaranteed to disrupt normal MarinaNova activities in a big way.

You're of course free to go ahead and do the mingle anyway, if you feel like it's natural for your character to stick to routine even in the face of crisis!

	Yup. I understand. That's why I left it up to "depending on how things go". :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
