MarinaNova OOC

Your mods will be plotting out the next section of events soon, so this is a great time for you to:

• Tell us about a player-run event you want to plot.*
• Ask for old events you'd like to repeat.
• Suggest new events (as vague or detailed as you want).
• Offer categories of events you'd like to see more/less of: horror, silliness, romance, etc.
• Say anything you like/dislike about any aspect of events—the spacing, pacing, general info, etc.

*A player-run event in this sense is one where your character is capable of setting something up that would potentially affect everyone because of a power/ability/skill they have. See past examples marked as "player-run."

As always, we can't promise to use all ideas, but we'll integrate whatever we can, and if it doesn't make it into the calendar this time around it might next time. But it is definitely very helpful to know how the experience is working for the rest of you!

If you'd prefer to share something in private find us through email or plurk. We may not respond to comments directly here, but we are reading them!

This is your plotting meme and you can absolutely post any information you'd like and have any kinds of plotting intentions that work for you! The copyable text below is just a suggestion.

Remember, not all our players are on plurk so this is the only place to plot with everyone!

<b>Character Name/Journal:</b> Name <lj user=username> <b>Siren Pearl(s):</b> Which one(s) do they have if they have any? Are they regularly exposed to one from a roommate or partner? Are they doing anything else with the event? <b>The Awakening:</b> Will they go through a door? Do you have thoughts or plans related to this? <b>Plans:</b> What's coming up for your character? <b>Needs:</b> Is there any plotting or CR you need help with? How can we help? <b>Dreams:</b> What would you love to see happen with your character or their CR?

Upcoming/ongoing/recent events to consider:
— Siren Pearls : Ongoing
— Octonado/Clean-up : Aftermath
— The Awakening : Day 296
— Newbie Day : Day 297

Welcome to the MarinaNova HMD! This is optional, but encouraged.

• List your characters for which you'd like feedback. We have a form below if you like forms!

• Leave your tactful and considered thoughts, questions, concerns, praise, suggestions, etc. for others.

We strongly encourage you to make this a dialogue. Find out what went into actions, decisions, and characterization and you may come to understand it better. Hopefully, you'll also be in the best position to clearly communicate your own concerns. Results will be more satisfactory for everyone if one person isn't on the offensive while the other is on the defensive.

Avoid leaving someone a wall of text. This can be intimidating even with the most careful of wording and best of intentions.

Don't gang up on someone. You may have a different way of wording something, but unless you have something new to contribute, consider letting it go if there are already others saying it.

Be constructive and considerate.

• Since there is no plotting meme during months with an HMD, please feel free to do that here too.

• Contact a mod if you have any problems.

Anonymous commenting is on. It will be turned off if there is abuse.

The theme this month is Follow your heart. We've chopped up and re-imagined the beloved heart meme into a CR meme! Feel free to add, subtract, or divide the topics as you see fit.

1. Copy and past the information below into a comment.
2. Apply the appropriate heart(s) to each topic. They should be IC for your character. You can even change the hover text for specialized messages if you want!
2. Go around hitting people up! (But not with the hearts, okay? No dying in a fire for fellow players!)

Welcome to our CR/PLOTTING MEME!

This is your plotting meme and you can absolutely post any information you'd like and have any kinds of plotting intentions that work for you! The copyable text below and this month's them are just a suggestions!

This month's theme is:
CROSS-CANON CONNECTIONS

Maybe your character needs some balance back in their life after leaving home and finding themselves in prison. Maybe they had a co-dependent brother or a best friend they always had to look after and they aren't in the dome. Or are they? Sure, maybe not the same one, but there could be a cross-canon solution to this problem! It could be you don't know it because you're canon blind to some of our other characters or maybe you just haven't had the right set of circumstances yet. Well, it's time to make it happen!

Fill out the text below. Then go around seeing where your character might fit AND make suggestions about other characters in the game that might be a good fit. Maybe you've always wanted to see two of them interact because you know both canons and you can see just how perfect it would be!

<b>Character:</b> Name | Fandom | <lj user=journalname> <b>Replacements Needed:</b> Missing the little sister? Best friend? Partner in crime? Frienemy? Mentor? List any relationships they may be lacking. Feel free to name names if you're looking for someone like "character A, B, and C".

Check out our game calendar for some of the things scheduled this month.
