Hallo Minions, friendly local admin here!
For various reasons, I've decided to re-set the forum's RP timeline.
Hopefully a clean start/ Timeline Rewind will make it easier to fill in our player gaps, as well as give us a chance to come up with new plotlines and characterizations.
The big details:
- Everyone will have to post new character profiles. You may just re-post your original profile, but this is a chance to update it, tighten up details or characterization and work out histories with other players. Everyone posting new profiles will keep things consistent and easier to keep track of.
- I will post a deadline for new profiles to be posted in the application forum. Deadline is Monday, January 10th old profiles will be moved to the dead apps after the reset.
-You may switch characters- however taking a new character will require a new App. This is covered below.
-Some threads will carry over If a thread consists of active players who want to keep it's continuity, they can request to keep it in the new timeline and it will not be moved to the dead threads section.
-We will be switching to a Competitive application process
- You may keep posting until the official changeover I'd like board opinion for how soon this happens, though it will most likely be around the end of the month.

Switchover:
Everyone who's keeping their current character posts a new version of their character profile for mod approval.
You /may/ just repost the current one, but we may ask you to update and/or adjust your profile. We will be more strict with applications than previously.
People who wish to switch characters must put in a new application as well, and will be subject to the new competitive application process unless otherwise notified.
Competitive App process:
- If there is more than one application for an open character at one time, the mods will choose the app they feel is best.
-When a potential player posts a claim on an open character, it will start the one week time limit for them to submit their app. Any other players who wish to apply for the same character must then post their application within that original week, and applications will be judged at the end of that week.
- If there is only one app that the mods do not find acceptable, We will reply with constructive criticism and give the applicant a chance to re-write the app. If there is no improvement we will keep the spot open.
-Once accepted new players will enter a trial period to see how their actual RP stacks up against their profile. This may consist of a test thread with a mod in a stock situation, or something else to be determined in the future. Mod majority may move a player to full status, or decide the player is not a good fit for the forum and re-open the character to the application process.

Just checking but, are all the threads in the finished area going to be erased then? I think the idea is that it's up to the players that were in each thread to determine whether they want to hang onto it. So if you and whoever you were playing with in those threads liked what happened and would like it to be part of the plot after the switch-change, then I think that's fine. When Pock gets back from family-ness, I'm sure she can elaborate more. I'm not sure how all the old threads are going to be handled, actually. There will probably be some archives set up or something. :3 |

I've been wondering... but is there a main, overall plot to the whole RP-verse, which all players should be working their threads around? Or would it just be like how most of us have been doing up till now, and perhaps just the occasional "major" plot-threads that come out once in a while?
Also, to all those I've been RPing with, are you all fine with our threads so far? I'm gamed to keep them going after the reset, but I'd like to know what you guys think too. This of course, excludes people who are switching roles.
Also... um, I'd actually like to continue that Tea Party thread, but I dunno if our new Iggy would be interested.... thoughts/opinions?

There's a tiny bit of mistaken identity / lost heir thing going on with the italy bros / german bros / emperor connections, but that's just because they're canon connections to rome and germania and that's what we came up with when discussing our characters. currenty AT's kind of a sandbox and i really like seeing what kind of co-op plotlines you guys come up with. I'm also open to suggestions about plotlines people would like to see, other than the basic pirate v. military conflict. |
