THE SUGGESTION BOX:

On Day 1, the suggestion box rules were unlocked! Note that these rules are for OOC REFERENCE ONLY, and you will have to have your character figure them out ICly some way or another! If it helps, Akira has posted an IC version of these rules on the box for characters to read (courtesy of LWJ). But I'll enumerate on them OOCly for you:

1) The suggestion box will not take multiple requests at a time! If you write down more than one, it will yell at you :(

2) You can request one item at a time from the suggestion box! This item can be anything, such as an item from home (a weapon, a trinket, an article of clothing), or even something you didn't have at home (like medicine, sunglasses, whatever). You can request an item once an OOC month, starting on the 1st and ending to the last day of said month. There's a size limit on items, though: the box won't give you anything that is bigger than like. . . a person. So no cars or motorcycles or the like!

3) Not all suggestions will be granted! I reserve the right to throw rocks at your character instead. I'm sorry in advance.

4) Bigger setting changes (I'll let you guess what that means) will need more than one character making the suggestion for them to be implemented. To make this easy OOCly, you can have one character make the initial suggestion and then just have a bunch of people +1-ing it for my purposes. How many people are needed to implement bigger setting changes? About ten or so! Once a suggestion is made and processed, I as a mod wil add it to the setting whenever we have a bit of lull time ICly. I won't be giving you buildings every week, for instance! I may wait a few weeks between setting updates depending on how busy we are. It all depends!

5) I reserve the right to change the rules of the suggestion box if I get so many requests that I start dying, sweats. But I don't foresee this being an issue, so!!

Now that the rules have been unlocked, you do not have to comment to the suggestion box to get your monthly items from home/small items! In fact, I'd 100% prefer you not comment and that you just handwave your character got them somehow. However you are free to keep commenting with other suggestions for funsies b/c the box still has some fun little features! And ofc, if your character got their monthly item and is trying again, please also comment so I can give you a SPECIAL SURPRISE that is not a rock I promise. Maybe.

I hope that your recovery has been smooth, Zhewei-xiansheng. Please continue to regain your strength as much as you can during this time.

Although I am writing you with a request, I would ask that you only act upon it if you feel that you have the energy to do so. If you are still recovering, then I would encourage you to wait until a later date to fulfill this request.

Kim Dokja has brought up an excellent point, which is that the younger members of Echidna are lacking in a space to relax. If you are surrounded with nothing but work, your health will be affected and morale will decrease. It is perhaps a selfish request of mine, but I would like them to be as comfortable as possible here too. To this end I would like to request an "entertainment room" for us. Through my research I am led to believe this contains the following:
-A large screen television
-A game console
-Video games (I do not know how many or what kind are sufficient, but a variety is likely preferred)
-A way to view movies
-A selection of movies (I assume a variety of genres are preferred)
-Enough very comfortable seating for a dozen or so people
-A way to dim the lights within the room
-A kitchenette and bar
-A small bookshelf
-A variety of board games and card games

I am well aware that this is a large amount of items. Please consider it a list for the future as well, rather than something that we require all at once.

And, once you are feeling better, I would like to extend an invitation to you to visit us and enjoy the relaxation of the entertainment room. After all, you have worked just as hard as any of us, and that must also be appropriately recognized.

I wish you well. Please take care.

[this request naturally comes with a small doodle of Zhewei-xiansheng in their person-shaped form, playing with rabbits. also, a picture of the beach!]
