YEAH SECONDS YEAH
SUP BROS
So in this OOC announcement (I realize we have almost as many of these as we do public posts… hence the reason for this announcement really) we're gonna talk about streamlining a few things to hopefully open up the game more and make easier/more fun for people to engage with.
LOCKED POSTS
While we are not going to take away the locked post mechanic as of yet, we are gonna strongly encourage ya'll to not lock posts unless you have some REAL RAD SHIT you are hiding and planning to launch on other teams. We totally appreciate everyone was like YEAH LOCKED POSTS LET'S ENGAGE WITH THIS MECHANIC!!! Buuut it seems to mostly right now be making it hard for people to interact with each other and difficult to tell what the pacing is as you can't really tell how many posts have been made. We do realize that overall there just aren't a lot of posts but a solid amount of them have been locked. Additionally, locking a post makes people feel like they can't talk about what's going on in them, and the lifeblood of any game is people being really publically excited about their stupid bullshit.
SO just as a solid SUGGESTION, less locked posts, but do try to keep the OOC/IC divide in mind when playing. I think ya'll are grown up enough for info modding to not really be an issue.
SECONDS
Applications for seconds are open! ETA on when they will actually be accepted is pending (near or on the first of the month), but you can go ahead and start submitting now!
PRIME DROP
WE MAY HANDLE THIS DIFFERENTLY IN THE FUTURE. but rn there is an open prime space so you may app for aristophanes prime
AC AND SEASON SUBMISSIONS
