The Wardens

MY MOM IS VISITING THIS WEEKEND SO I'VE GOT NOTHING. However I'm making a cute anniversary post tomorrow to celebrate the game being open one year! LOOK FORWARD TO IT c:

Also look forward to placements, which are now!

( PLACEMENTS )

HELLO 'v' Kira here!

BODY SWAP CANDYLAND will be running from September 29th @ 7pm GMT until October 9th @ 11pm GMT! Please sign up ASAP so that I can figure out swap & randomised table assignments. These will be finalised on Wednesday 28th.

You can play as many characters as you want, just make it as clear as possible so I don't goof up and swap you with yourself.

Full rules will go up on the day, but for now —

✦ Once you've received your bodyswap assignment, make a new journal and populate it with icons!
✦ Do not reveal who you're swapped with! This will form part of the win mechanics.
✦ Physical monster traits will remain with the body; the monsters themselves will move with their person.
✦ ALL powers and abilities will stay with the body. Screw the lore, the Warden has money.
✦ All items stay with the body.
✦ Characters cannot be injured! It just won't work! You can, however, commit as much property damage as you like.
✦ Characters will be free to leave the game area and mingle, but, due to the anonymous nature of the game, pop-up tents and sleeping bags will be provided.

Sign up by filling in the form below. The more information you can include, the better.

<B>Player:</b> <B>Are you signing up with another character?:</b> If yes, who, and what team are they on? <U><b>CHARACTER DETAILS:</b></u> <B>Name:</B> <B>Team:</B> <B>What's it like to <i>be</i> your character?</B>: The more information you can include here, the better! Do they have aches and pains? Creaky old joints? Are they actually a robot? <B>Monster traits:</B> What physical traits does your character's monster have? <B>Powers and abilities</b>: <B>Opt-outs</b>: Violence won't be an issue, but is there anything else that you don't want to happen to or with your character's body?

If you have any questions or concerns, please hit me up here, via PM to this journal, or via discord.

Hello everyone! And now I am ready to write up the plot debriefing and announcements. I once again want to thank everyone for participating; I had a BLAST doing this plot from a mod's perspective, and hope you all had fun too!!

So now I'd like to talk a little bit about what I want to do now that this plot is over c: Some things are going to be implemented ASAP, while others will be implemented in the near future once I find a good time to make an IC post announcing same. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO–

( DEBRIEFING )

SO THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. Once again, thank you so much for playing in my game, which is about to be one year old (!!!). I can't believe we've come this far, and I've had a wonderful time modding for you all. I'll be using this upcoming week to hash out the game schedule + get something planned for our one year anniversary, so stay tuned for next week's announcements for more information about those things.

♥ HAVE A GREAT DAY Y'ALL

Have you noticed? Some of your friends sure are acting a bit. . . strange! And no matter how hard you may try to reach them, they can't hear you. Are they honestly and truly lost forever? Well. . . not if you have anything to say about it!

Welcome to PALACE GAME SIGN UPS!

The gist of the plot point is this: some characters have had their monsters gradually taking over, which has culminated in them having full control of that character's body. As this is not the result of a death consequence, it almost seems as though the take over is permanent. In order to restore control of these bodies to the original owners, [REDACTED] is going to be allowing the rest of the game into the Palaces of the afflicted characters with one simple instruction: "bring them back." The goal of each Palace will be to find and restore the character's lost consciousness. The methodology is being left up to Palace runners, so no two characters will be brought back the same way.

Based on the lower limits each runner has given me in advance, for now each character may sign up for two sessions, with at least one of them being guaranteed. However, there are caveats to the second sign up:

1. When signing up for any Palaces, specify "first game" for the one you absolutely want to play in, and "second game" for your second. This is so runners can give priority to those who have yet to play in a Palace, if their game participant cap has been met already. Runners have the right to say "hey sorry but I can't actually fit you into this session" to any "second game" sign ups. Please be kind to the runners and respect their limits!

2. Speaking of limits, spread yourselves out! If you see a slot has a cap of 7 and 7 people have already signed up with "first game," then you should use your "first game" sign up somewhere else. You may still sign up with "second game," especially if you talk to the runner in advance and get permission, but again, respect a runner's limits and try not to overload their slots. And if you see a Palace that doesn't have many sign ups at all, please feel free to jump in, even if you don't have CR with the person. Sometimes, the best CR is created when you tromp through someone's psyche, right??

3. BASICALLY JUST BE KIND TO RUNNERS AND ALSO TO EACH OTHER!! If you reeeeeeeeally want a certain session and it's full, then you can always talk to the runner themselves; just respect their decision if they say no!

AND THAT IS ALL. Remember Palaces are running from September 3 - 11. Many people are also willing to run multiple sessions, which is pretty awesome! Each runner should make a top level to this post with their Palace info (including any cws, if there will be any), and then sub top-levels with the dates and times they've chosen to run their Palaces. If the runner has any special instructions and/or permissions for their Palace, that should be included in the sign up top level as well.

OTHERWISE. . . HAVE AT IT! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

Hi everyone!

1) I HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING PLOT. You can find the info here, and thank you so much for your patience with me re: explores. I will try at most to get them all within a week they are posted, but def give me a few days, especially if your own write ups are long. YOU'RE ALL VERY CUTE AND I'M SO GLAD WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE SO FAR.

That's all IT'S TIME FOR PLACEMENTS!!

( placements )

As of Day 56, night, Reverie's village has given away to the INNER PRISON, another part of the world that has only been seen in glimpses and pieces thus far! Please refer to this document for the new setting information. This setting will remain until September 11, after which the plot will end and characters will be returned to the village.

The new setting does not have a suggestion box, and thus cannot be changed in the same way the village could. However, the new setting will allow for something the village did not: EXPLORATION. Here is how exploration of the new setting will work!

1. Players who are interested in touching something in the setting will fill out this form. Please describe which characters are involved, and also what they intend to do in as much detail as they can! Within a few days I will reply with a tiny little write up of what happens, and you can thread out the scenario at your leisure. This method makes things waaaay easier on me, since I don't have time to run exploradors for 90+ characters r-rofl.

2. Each character can go on two explorations. This is so I am not inundated with exploration requests and die trying to write things up for you, cries. This is also an OOC limit, not an IC one. And to make it clear, this is a character limit, not a player one. So if you have two characters you can do four explorations total, as an example!

3. Characters can do explorations alone; however, I OOCly encourage you to group up with other people, both to lower the amount of requests I get and also because things are more fun in a group! Group requests will likely get more involved responses b/c I'll want to give you all things to thread with, though single requests will still get pertinent things that they can share with the group at large!

4. You will be able to submit exploration requests all the way up until September 5 at mutter mumble time. You have a month to do things, so pace yourselves for sure!

5. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comment below! However, as a note, questions that are "what happens if my character does X" may be best saved for exploration threads, depending on what it is. NOT ALL THINGS WILL COUNT AS EXPLORATIONS; if your character ties to punch a barbed wire fence I can answer that as a mod without it counting as one of your explorations lol. But if your character tries to fix a CCTV, that would be better answered as an exploration. IF THOSE EXAMPLES HELP.

6. Please note that some explorations are going to be dangerous, and characters may be hurt in the midst of same! But no one will die, I can promise you that as a mod. Unless you want to die?? Then you can die. THAT ONE IS UP TO YOU AS A PLAYER.

That's all for explorations, and the last thing I want to say is: all players chosen for Palace Games have been contacted and instructed to keep their participation a secret! Don't worry; they will reveal themselves at least a week or so in advance of Palace Games for sign ups c: Please also note that I am changing the dates of Palace Games due to not realizing I had personal things going on the weekend of September 3 and 4 lol. Palace Games will be running the entire week of September 5 - 11, with each runner scheduling their own time slots during that period. Stay tuned for more information to come!

OKAY. THAT'S ALL FOR NOW. PLEASE HAVE FUN ;w;/ And let me know if there is anything you need from me or if I was really bad at explaining something (I am bad at explaining things), otherwise I'm going to die in my bed now b/c I was up WAY TOO EARLY FOR LIFE.

Thank you as always for being a part of my cute game, and I hope you enjoy some August plotty things!! C:

OH PS: PLACEMENTS WILL BE HAPPENING SOON, and will continue throughout August. New characters will be introduced into the new setting. Give me a bit and I'll get this weekend's placements done asap <3
