saveyourselves | Several announcements and two polls!

PLEASE READ.

The polls are now CLOSED!

1) Backdate limit on metaplot-related posts
2) Temporary closure of apps/reserves
3) HMD
4) Plot: poll on the alien/Wise Snake
5) Plot: poll on filler/breather period

On backdating and metaplot-related posts

Firstly, we’d like to apologize to those who were inconvenienced by the backdated IC announcement of Proud’s death and thank you for your flexibility.

As of today, metaplot-related posts will have a backdate limit of three days after the IC date of the related plot. For example, if the plot occurred on the 1st, then players have until the end of the 4th to make an IC post related to it that is meant to occur on the same day of the plot (the 1st).

On a temporary closure of applications and reserves

In the interest of making the transition from S1 to S2 as smooth as possible, we will be closing reserves on Feb 16th and applications on Feb 23rd. Those who have put in a reserve prior to this announcement (i.e. up to and including the Roxas reserve) may still apply up until the expiration of their reserve.

On game-wide and personal HMDs

Save the Earth will be holding game-wide HMD posts. They will be every other month and optional. Anonymous comments will be enabled. We will not tolerate harassment or general asshatery.

Additionally, we will require players to set up HMD posts for their characters. The settings may be according to your preference (screened or unscreened, anon enabled or disabled, etc.), and this can be in their character journals, a catch-all, etc. - as long as you can provide an HMD post! We’ll request their inclusion in the form of a link on the next activity check.

The first HMD will be held later this month or in March in

On fighting the alien and Wise Snake’s awakening

After some discussion, we’ve come up with three scenarios regarding the execution of the alien and Wise Snake plots. Refer to the thread here. Each scenario will have its own comment. Please vote for the scenario you’re in favor of by commenting to it. We’ll go with the majority vote.

On a breather period between Wise Snake’s defeat and Season 2

There is a suggestion in the notes of the original mod to integrate a “filler season” after the end of Season 1. Tentatively, we’re thinking it will last two weeks. Pros: a breather period between plot; cons: pushing Season 2 back.

Like the subject of the alien and Wise Snake, we’ll leave the decision to majority vote. Refer to the thread here and vote in favor of your choice.

Both polls will be open for one week. They will close on Feb 16th.
