IC Downtime Explanation + General Interest Gauge
As of this post Taxon is officially down for both IC and OOC maintenance, with the tentative restart date of September 1. I have integrated some game plot elements involving the Other Aliens from a few months back, which also sets the stage for the future developments outlined in the body of the game HMD.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CHARACTERS: Basically everyone is on a pause glitch, and whether or not this will be noticed by the population is something we'll decide together. If they go unnoticed, it will be because the aliens just fudged everyone's memories so no one thinks it's odd that it is suddenly September.
SPEAKING OF CHARACTER MEMORIES: I am working it into the whole hack-crash-unplug thing that some records were lost, which would account for drops. Now, I know people have lost significant amounts of CR and that many long-standing plots have gone without resolution, which can make playing on difficult. Taking that into consideration, I'm okay with characters getting reset however the player thinks is needed. That can be explained IC-ly as their data having been damaged during the hacking, but the aliens being able to restore them with a backup copy.
Quick reminder: mod applications are over here. I may move up closing them to tomorrow evening in the interests of getting the ball rolling, so if you've been considering it then I encourage you to take the leap!
I want to start getting an idea of who is going to be staying on after the reorganization. Many of you have checked in in my last post, but I was like to hear from everyone one way or the other. I know some folks are on hiatus and I am definitely making allowances for that. You don't have to comment with this, just let me know by the end of the month.
Lastly: I'd like to talk about the future plans mentioned above, as I plan on carrying them forward. What do you like, what do you have questions on, any suggestions for stuff?
