Neo Genesis

As some of you may be aware, there will be a fund-raising event happening tomorrow night. We will be starting the mingling part of the thread later today. There will be one set up post, but for the sake of ease and not having to worry about post order, we ask instead that you post one comment to situate your character to which others can reply. Please reply to the comment you're responding to and not the thread. If you are starting a new conversation thread, please add where in the hotel you are located {lobby, foyer, ballroom, etc} in a mini header at the top, like you would for a thread opener. Should your character end a conversation and move, you may either start a new thread in the post or join an already open thread in the location your character is headed. If you are unsure where to reply to, please tap a mod.

The other event, mentioned at in this log, will occur two hours later. That post will be posted sometime Tuesday and will proceed according to these same rules.

If your character was not on the invitation list but you would like to have him/her involved somehow, leave a comment below with a suggestion on their potential involvement (someone's plus one, snuck in, is catering, was at the hotel for something else, first responder, etc.). The comments below will be screened, but you can email neogenesismod [at] gmail.com if you'd like more privacy.

Also, if you'd like something serious to happen to your character, say now or forever hold your peace. The default for now is having badly shaken up guests with headaches, smoke inhalation and ringing in their ears. There will be serious casualties and fatalities, but you have to write your characters into those situations yourself or give those discovering your character dead/passed out some sort of notice so they know what to expect.

If there are any questions, please drop us a comment here and we will do our best to clarify.

As the game grows, we learn from our playerbase and will make adjustments to recurring questions and issues. Our main goal is to keep the game balanced and on premise. That said, we have made a change in the rules:

12. New characters are allowed to choose who they wish to marry after participating in at least one lottery. This excludes characters that were in an established marriage prior to joining the game.

This is to encourage people out of their comfort zone and to be fair to those players in the game who had to use the dice system. There is a grandfather clause for those players that had received prior approval with their characters. This new rule will apply to any new characters to the game, effective immediately. We will also be making updates to the FAQ to address this and other frequently asked questions.

If you have any other questions or feel that there are issues that need to be addressed by us mods, please leave us a note in the Drop Box (comments screened).

Please run your journals through the Friend Button as we have had two removals for lack of activity.

Thank you :)

We are happy to bring new features to Neo Genesis. For the geek in everyone, Anthy has put together a lovely activity chart. It's an interactive flowchart that will evolve as the game progresses. Hopefully everyone will have a chance to follow their character's progress as well as see where everyone falls along the bigger picture. To qualify for a change or addition to the chart, it must be shown first in an IC thread or plot related journal entry. No need to let us know, we're following everything. Like Big Brother. The chart's already big with only a few weeks of the game being open, great job everyone!

You can view the beta version of the chart here. Let me know if we missed any key connections.

Coming soon, we'll have a page up for our married couples and domestic partners.

Also, if you haven't run your journal through the friend all lately, please do.

With the game developing, we realize that we forgot to touch upon an important point in the rules:

11. An update limit of two weeks has been set. If you haven't done a thread/log in two weeks, you will be removed from the game.

We emphasize threads and logs instead of journal posting because the game cannot and will not advance without active scening. We also recognize that sometimes RL can get busy or the RP muse just isn't with you, in that case, please let us know.

Please take note that we have added a new rule to encourage activity in the game:

10. In order to be considered for the lottery, your character must have completed at least one thread.

Also, please run your journals through the friend button HERE as we've had a number of new additions to the game.

Happy RPing!
