Grand Opening OOC Post

Hello, everyone and welcome to Save the Earth!

I'm extremely excited to say that our game will officially be opening on April 1st. I deeply hope you're all classy enough to avoid making fake drop posts on the first day.

The reason for the short delay in opening is simply because I'm spending Sunday with family (as I'm sure some of you will be too) and won't have time to give the opening the attention it deserves. Sorry!

But in the meantime, we can have this post here to get to know one another. Tell us a bit about yourself and your character. Tell us the sorts of direction you want to take them in, any plots you've already half formed, etc.

Some points of business:

• Anyone who was accepted before I began requesting them with application acceptance, please create and link to an info post for your character so I can add it to the taken list.

• A more detailed post regarding the circumstances of the first three plot threads will go up Monday, which will introduce characters to the invasion and the dangers of revealing themselves. One of the three plots is closer to foreshadowing than anything that can be directly be interacted with at the start, but with a game like this you never know.

• You won't have to make AC for the first two months, but I will be requesting you fill out the form when it comes up and then giving me your feedback regarding how easy or hard you found it, both times. The current AC requirements may change in the future based on that input.

• Although applications aren't open yet, I'll be looking for two extra mods soon enough! Duties to be shared will be applications (which will be dealt with in shifts), organisation help (including AC and the taken list), being my American culture expert (what the heck are 'grits' and why would I eat them?) and finally, being privy to and assisting in running plots (so don't consider yourself for the position unless you're okay with spoilers).

As always, questions and comments are welcome.

"Current occupation: Bartender/Dancer at a gay club--"

LMAO I was not expecting to see that when I clicked on your info link. |D;; Good on him for being the different one in a sea of college students and the like.

Ahahah yeah, he started out as a dishwasher at a restaurant at 16 and he kind of failed at school before that, so he is definitely going to be the odd one out among all these EDUCATED PEOPLE \o/

I just imagine this conversation all, "so, do you go to school at LCU or..."

"NAAAH I'M A DANCER AT [GAY CLUB]. :D"

"... Oh."

YEP PRETTY MUCH. "Study? Nah, I shake my pretty little booty for a living! What about you? I mean, I can see you've got a nice butt too, I meant more like what do you do?"

I play a social disaster. This can only be good.

And this was the most appropriate icon for this, really.

Yes. Perfect. It's just really not a game unless there's people to totally horrify the srs bzns ones, right?

Exactly! And I like that this game still has a pretty nice mix of odds and ends so far, it promises for interesting gameplay ^^ I already want CR with pretty much everyone ever.
