DREAMWIDTH MOVING
If you have any questions, please ask them here!

[bonnypiperlad]

Is there a specific way you want to handle people being added to the comms over on DW? I.E. would you want us to subscribe to the comms on our own now or wait until later in January?

Also, would it be possible to get a list with links for the sites itself put up somewhere just for reference? It would be appreciated - and thank you guys, btw, for all your hard work on this.

Go ahead and start joining the comms on DW if you have your names already. I've got the updated contact list on DW, member-locked, and I don't feel like having to update the one on LJ as well when we'll be gone in a month anyways. I'll be sure to put links on the LJ one for everyone to follow.

As for the DW comms to join:

Trans_9
Trans_Pilgrims
Trans_Channel

HELPER MODS
If you wish to help us, please contact us at transmigration9 @ gmail . com. We would love you forever.

This is just a thing---but if I'm gonna keep being a helper mod, I wonder if there will be more roles for non-combat NPCs? I'm a lot better at talking and exposition than writing battle, as anyone who's played with me can say!

Specifically I think it'd be neat if we had another chance to talk to Stacy, but I understand if she's someone only the mods can play. Maybe the other AIs? I could maybe pick up Tron again to be some sort of liason.

[daemonomicon]

I think any type of NPCing could certainly help out, so you're more than welcome to focus on non-combat NPCing if it suits you.

I would also love to see the other AIs get run more. I had been meaning to do it before this past semester hit me like a truck, but I definitely think it would be doable with having the mod helpers help out with that.

[morphitudinous]

Okay! I can do research on our AIs and see what's to be done.

DEPARTMENTS
Feel free to use this here to work out with your fellow players each department. If we could get all of this ironed out for the move it would be awesome!

[i_am_the_bafo]

Integrating from last post, so far the Magic Department rework will be tossed out ICly like this:

Three branches: Combat, Teaching/Studying, Department Liaisons.

Official department troubleshooting meetings will be held to address issues and problems within the ship. Those who have good vision or ability to work towards solving the problem will be set to the task at the end of these meetings, once all input has been heard.

...I know there was some real OOC desire for that last one, but I'm honestly concerned about how much will actually get done. A large post with lots of people either follows a set posting order and crawls, or goes free-for-all and the slower taggers feel overwhelmed.

[zouichi]

What do department liasons do? Interdepartmental liasons?

[i_am_the_bafo]

Provide magical resources and support to help other departments work more efficiently. People who are primarily magical department members but can heal would support Medical, for example. Engineering liaisons would work on combining magic with technology or just supplying magical aid and assistance. Security liaisons would train with security on dealing with threats and so forth.

ANYTHING ELSE
Q&A? Something you'd like? (also feel free to start more posts below)

[beyondgotham]

Okay, so I probably should have asked this sooner, but it only just dawned on me - the Big Sibling stuff for old players and newbies: how is this gonna work? Like, I understand that people will be paired up, but will it be assigned? People get to pick their own? Or what? I mostly ask this because I signed Terry up for it to get some CR with entirely new players, or at least different characters than those he would normally talk to. But I feel like if we all choose our own partners, it might leave some people without a partner, as friends and canonmates quickly pair up, or characters that players may not be familiar with get ignored.

I'm not say that that absolutely will happen, of course! Just that, I feel like maybe there should be a system in place for this, especially if it becomes a regular thing for every podpop.

I'm a little curious, can the plant suit be modified? I had this idea going on in my head where Rarity works with the suit and finds out that she can modify the plant suit's colours so people have some variety.
