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.

Re: Applications/Turnover rate

I don't have any experience with app cycles so I can't really comment there, but I agree with everything else--especially the month as opposed to two week rule (since as I pointed out, two weeks = a reserve + 1 extension, which is what most people use to write their app as it is anyway. The only difference that a two week wait would cause is that they'd app right after they reserve [assuming they bother to reserve] following that two weeks instead of reserving, writing the app for two weeks, and then submitting)

Lmao no I get what you're saying and I agree. And I definitely don't think they should be reserving in that period either, because it's ... the same, like you said. /basically +1 to your +1. I don't want it to seem like a PUNISHMENT to people who drop by any means, but I do think it'll make people think twice and choose the characters they pick up more wisely.
