HOW'S THE GAME?

HOW'S THE GAME?

It's been awhile! It's time for another round of Game Discussion, also known as "How's The Game?"

Here we come together to discuss the game, its plots, the settings, and just about anything we can think of that we'd like to talk about, expand upon, improve, change, etc.

This is not an HMD for players and their characters; this should be about the game's function as a whole and not the people in it. If there is something you feel is absolutely necessary to address that involves a specific person, please IM a mod first to discuss it. We can be reached at terraqueous orb (Kayla), end title (Fudgey) or a great fanfare (Jenn). (Though Jenn is on hiatus right now because her laptop is broken, so Kayla or Fudgey would be best for right now!)

Anonymous will be left off for this round (see first section).

Here are the sections that we've come up with. Add your own and we'll edit it into the list.

Anonymous: Why is it turned off?
What do the mods/helpers do, anyways?
How is my activity being monitored?
Activity check changes
Applications/turnover rate
 → Test Drive Comm
Abilities on the application
Villains & Heroes
 → Recent Villain Activity
 → Upcoming Villain Activities/Plots
Death
World Plot/Paradisa Lore
 → Concrete Resolutions, etc.
Canon Updates
Mini-plot Planning
Changes since last HTG
Plots in General
Regular Plots?

How's The Game will now be held quarterly, in order to avoid excessively long stretches in which there is no outlet for discussion.

I was thinking about that, too. Because of the game's pace and size, I can see why it would get lost in the back of our heads or just be glossed over. Just a suggestion but can we have a post or somewhere on the wiki with a list of World Beyond stuff that remains unsolved but is open to investigation? Then maybe people can take an interest there.

Unfortunately, this mostly just has to do with when we have time to run a plot/do a post/etc. Any suggestions on how frequently you'd like to see this stuff happen?

Like Prince and some others are talking about, having another mod/helper I think would greatly help with the planning and executing. We don't need big events; I loved the festival from last year when Joy re-appeared. It was subtle but I loved the impact it had on the long run.

We have lots of stuff planned for summer. :) I won't make excuses about the long break here, I think it's due time for some plots too. (Hence the events set up for this month and the rest of the summer!)

It's a relief to hear this and I'm really glad. Thank you for addressing all my points, Kayla.

And no big on the Slenderman plot! It was mostly an example I bring up since it's a more "recent" plot we did in the past few months.

I think that's a great idea :D If anyone wants to make some contributions (it's a little hard for me to remember exactly what loose ends are left untied since ... I know the stuff behind the scenes sldkjsad) too that would be a huge help.

And I left a comment on that thread - we are definitely asking for helpers before the end of this month so I'll be sure to specify that we want one for that purpose.
