Mod Announcement #10
Hey howdy ho, my dear players! Time for an update!
❧Word Spell Classes! Now that we've had them once a week, we're wondering what you all think! Is that too frequent, or are you content with the pacing? We'd like to know what you all think!
❧The OUTLIERS! They will not be a regular monthly appearance, but in two weeks we will open up "registration" for Outlier contact. Your character will be chosen by the Outliers to receive information from them, and your character will be given the choice of sharing the information they get with other captives or keeping it all to themselves...
❧TEST-OUTS! On Tuesday, the OOC submission post will go up, and on Wednesday, the IC testing log will go up. The application form may change in order to include the test out system, though it has not yet been decided.
❧Activity Check! For this month, I made a very poor mistake and did not catch it until this late in the month. So everyone is given amnesty for the last AC. Enjoy your free pass, but be ready for next month's AC!

plus word spells are just fun

I am actually torn on what I think. On one hand I like the opportunity to branch out to other players and have battles. The post that went up in the OOC comm for plotting was a good idea and I think that's something that we should do every time since not everyone has a plurk or has everyone added on plurk. Also it's nice to have that sort of foundation there for what the characters are learning about so they can talk and fool around with it at any time.
On the other hand, if there's not something new in the classes every week then I'm afraid that it'll get repetitive, if that makes sense. The first two classes that we've seen are fine and admittedly I regret not tagging around on the second one at all because that really interested me stupid wrists I really do hate you, but if it's just BATTLE BATTLE BATTLE every week with the only variation coming from the match-ups, then with time I'll be less excited about the classes and less likely to tag into them. Especially since I have one character who really just does not want have anything to do with actual word spell battles and has yet to have a reason to do so, and another who was a little shaken after his first battle and would probably want to find ways to refine his style before having another go at things.
BASICALLY I'm all for it as long as it's not all fights all the time. Maybe alternate weeks so we have a battle orientated class and then a technique orientated class? Or whatever you guys end up with. also as a completely random suggestion: maybe sometimes have assigned pairings that are decided via RNG? I know that runs the risk of people not actually commenting and such but it'd be an interesting twist and could lead to some characters who otherwise would never interact because they wouldn't approach each other or whatever having to work together.
re: other things
This... admittedly is something I probably should email about instead since it has to do with me and advertising, but since I'm thinking about it and already making a long comment I might as well put this here.
Would it be possible for you guys to make a monthly Wanted plurk with the mod account? By that I mean a plurk that basically says "HEY GORA ATP IS COMING UP ON X DAY WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE" so players can comment with what castmates/casts in general they want to see. It'd be really helpful for me because I don't have everyone added and I want to try and advertise as best as I can. It'd be ideal if it could go up a day before ATP itself (so within the range of the last or first few days of the month), but I'd leave the timing up to you since you're the ones with the access to the account.

First off, yes, absolutely love 'em, with all their potential for tagging and general random meetings between characters can we have randomly-generated pairings that sounds like a whole lot of glee, but my worry's admittedly on the same line about stale repetition as Connie's. I also imagine it could put a strain on the mods as well as players, having to come up with something new every single time--? So, uh. Maybe an open class/battle log once every other week? That way, it's still frequent, but also allows for time for the old threads to wrap up (
for us slower taggers) and new ideas to spawn.Otherwise, heee, excited for these updates. c:
-- Oh, er. Also. As a side question. If characters were to practice wordspells out of the class... would that be heavily frowned upon?

Or if they're even allowed to participateEverything else is verah exciting though! /o/
