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

 → 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 think it makes a lot more sense for characters to gradually regain their knowledge of their canon update, OR if it is all crammed in their head, I think it should take them longer to recognize where they are and who their Paradisa friends are? Because IDK if you leave a place for a year, or two, you don't return and remember everything the exact way you used to, ESPECIALLY when you completely forgot that place for said year.

I think it'd be pretty fitting for them to have random moments where they completely forget something Paradisa related too, or aname of someone, maybe the castle just making readjustment harder, idk.

ALSO;

Also, this might automatically be denied because of certain reasons, but the possibility of having their bodies leave during a canon update? Because honestly sometimes it makes NO sense to have the bodies there, when characters often return looking older, with different hairstyles or even clothes, and yet...they never disappeared? It would also make people worry that they 'left' permanently, and make it so that people aren't ever actually 100% sure if someone is just receiving an update, or if they've left everyone behind for good.

I think this would work best with the idea of having them return to Paradisa and not recognize it at first, like maybe the first day or two, which would only add to the scare that they REALLY left.

I understand that this might have conflicted with the rule that people do not 'return home and come back remembering Paradisa', but idk I just think it's a cool possibility that would shake things up.
