Fourth Wall Day Plotting Post
Good morning/afternoon/evening, Bargelings! We have a treat for you on Friday. As you know, it will be another FOURTH WALL DAY! This isn't going to be any different than the fourth wall days we've had before. However, we're thinking about changing that for the next fourth wall day. When posting your characters/ideas/WHATEVER here, also try and give us a little blurb about how you think we should do fourth wall days in the FUTURE. Specifically- should we open them up to players/characters from other games? What would you guys think about that? Just something to ponder!
Anyway! A little copypasta from the last fourth wall days as, again, this fourth wall day isn't changing. Please respect these rules. Fourth Walls days are really, really busy with lots of posts and lots of people replying. We can't actually look at every single post, even though we try really, really hard. So we're just kind of trusting you guys to be responsible and do what you need to do! So! Away we go!
Friday is FOURTH WALL DAY. Normally, this means that the Barge would be open to people from other games and other journals, but, because of the way the Barge is run, this will be a little different. Friday, starting at 12:01 AM EST and ending at 11:59 PM EST the same day, the journal network will be on the fritz, meaning that people from all over the multiverse will be able to listen/see/read as well as respond to journal entries that your characters make. Note- this is for journals only, not for actual bodies on the Barge. Also, you don't have to wait for an announcement on this one. Just start at 12:01 AM and end at 11:59 PM EST!
Feel free to use any journals you might have for any characters you might have. No personal journals and none that would go against the rules that are set up below. THIS FOURTH WALL DAY IS FOR CURRENT TLV PLAYERS ONLY.
Now, because TLV has a linear storyline for its characters (rather than "You're in a city/island/house/jar, HAVE AT."), we don't want to allow things that might potentially mess up a character's progress, make them go "OH SO THIS PLACE IS REALLY POINTLESS AFTER ALL" or ruin some of the unsolved mysteries of the game-- such as "where do people who leave the Barge go?" we're going to put into place two restrictions:
1) None of your former Barge characters, outside of Retired Characters, because they at least didn't disappear into nothingness. Retired Characters are those who've graduated or fulfilled their deal with the Admiral. If we're missing one, please tell us and we'll add them to the list. We're not allowing other former Bargemates because it is something of a mystery when they leave, and we don't want them showing up to go "LOL NO I'M TOTALLY CHILLING IN THE BAHAMAS, YOU DON'T NEED TO GRADUATE AT ALL." Plus, it could stir some resentment/abandonment issues if, say, a former warden who'd made a lot of progress with their inmate before just poofing out, showed up, went "LOL HI" and vanished again.
2) Players can comment here to "opt out" of certain characters showing up. This is to prevent, say, somebody flinging a character in who could have a serious impact on another player's character without that player's consent. Please respect their wishes. You can also make requests for who you want to see.
That's all. Comment here with whatever.
