Good evening, Save the Earth!

We have a couple of announcements tonight, with some notes on regular applications to go up tomorrow:

PLAYER PLOT SUGGESTIONS PAGE & NPC APPLICATIONS

As we announced in the last round of announcements, we are implementing a new system for players who want to run a player plot including NPCs - characters who exist for the run of the plot, not as a regular, full character. This is now live. There is an example included for your perusal on the page, but if you have questions, feel free to ask!

CAR TAKEDOWN CHOICES

The characters chosen for the Locke City Car Final Takedown are as follows:

• Arthur York
  
• Shou Chinen
  
• Aaron Harding
  
• Nick Angell
  
• Anais Temple

Feel free to plot in this post, or in the plot post. A log - with a thread for this takedown - will go up tomorrow during the day.

Good evening, Save the Earth!

Last night we promised some notes on applications, so here we go:

CHARACTERS-PER-CANON RULE CHANGE

Recently, the rules here at Save the Earth disallowed players from playing multiple characters from the same canon. After discussion, that rule has changed to the following:

STAY TO A LIMIT OF TWO CHARACTERS PER CANON

---

You may apply for the reincarnations of up to two characters from the same canon. Given the advantage that castmate characters can potentially give each other in-game, we ask that any two such characters are not close in canon and won't be likely to specifically influence each other (such as by introducing Echo material that is especially relevant to both) in the game environment. If you're interested in apping a second character from a canon you're currently playing from in-game, please fill and post a request to the Applications page so that we can let you know ahead of time whether they're good to fly!

In effect, our concern is about characters being separate in both their preincarnation and their reincarnation, in order to prevent characters from being Echo-sources for one another. The form linked above will be required, as it is with combo application.

APPLICATIONS GUIDE & SAMPLE APPS

A page to make clear our expectations and standards has been created here. We hope this clears up any questions about the application process! Included in this page are sample applications, including a sample application that would receive revisions in at least one area, for people to take a look at.

NEW APPLICATIONS PAGE & MISC

A new applications page is now live. The old apps page is being retired. We have added a section on re-application standards, to make clear the options for players hoping to re-app a character. Please take a look at it if you're going to be re-apping a dropped character!
