PARADISA OOC

FOURTH WALL EVENT

We will be holding our annual Fourth Wall Event on August 18-24th. (If you haven't seen one in action, check out last year's post!) Although it is a month away, with app_this_plz this weekend it might be a good idea to start spreading the word soon so that we can have a lot of participation.

I also want to address an issue that may have been a point of concern for those that were aware of it. We had a suggestion to change the Fourth Wall Event from being a purely OOC event to being an IC event. If you notice on the calendar, we did mention that we would consider the idea.

After much consideration and lots of discussion, we have decided not to make this an IC event, and it will remain purely OOC.

We did have some really neat ideas on how to make it work, but the more we discussed how to handle the repercussions of those "3 day castmates," the more we realized that the exceptions and loopholes required to protect characters and CR would just not be worth the hassle. The last thing we want to do is interrupt any in-game plotlines or character building.

As such, feel free to invite all of your friends and/or potential castmates to participates. Whether they are characters from a different game or original muses, everyone is encouraged to have fun with Paradisa's premise during the Fourth Wall week.

Be sure to spread the word, and we can't wait to kick off the event next month. :)


But wait, there's more!

RETURNING CHARACTERS

During our July round of returning characters, we had zero applications. Sadness! As such, we'd like to get some feedback from the playerbase with regards to the frequency of these app rounds.

We currently open returning character applications on a quarterly basis. However, if this is too frequent, we may consider switching this to twice a year.

Please respond to the poll below only once!

ORIGINAL CHARACTERS

In our last How's The Game discussion, we presented the idea of allowing original characters in Paradisa. The response seemed favorable as long as the characters are not based off any preexisting canon, so we would like to present an offical poll on the matter so that we can hear from everyone in the game.

Please keep in mind that this is still in the very early stages. The staff has not yet discussed the details involved in this, such as how the application will look or how they will be judged. We'd like to hear from the entire game before we move forward with this.

This poll is only regarding original characters from original universes. We will not be including any AU versions of canon characters or fan characters/OCs from canon settings.


Please vote only once!

PLEASE VOTE WITH A PARADISA JOURNAL. If you mistakenly vote with a wrong journal, please leave a note saying who you are.

We want to see what people want for plots in the future, and what better clear way to do it than poll?

For the first five questions, please order each option between 1 and 5, with 1 being your favourite and 5 being your least favourite.

If you need to change any of your answers or make a mistake, click here and select "fill out poll." It'll let you re-take it and replace your old answers.

Please comment with any questions, concerns, requests, discussion, etc. Once we've got results from this, we'll start going through all the plots submitted and line them up based on what type of plot people want most. Thank you!
