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.

Actually, I think it is better, in a lot of ways. People who are doing the buddy system are only doing it because they volunteered to and they wanted to. There is no incentive or reward for you guys other than ... idk, the warm fuzzy feelings of helping someone get integrated? So I don't think that's as big an issue. :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing it at all (or, I don't mean to... x___X) I think it's great. There's just that stigma of would this person be tagging me if they hadn't volunteered to take it on. At least, I'd probably think that if I was new/didn't know anyone (especially if not many others were tagging me). It's definitely not a solution to the problem, but like I said, I think it is a good start.

Yeah, that makes sense. I just hope nobody does feel that way :(
