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.

(Matt and Pat are great. They have exactly the right attitude towards Metal Gear: loving it because it's so goddamn stupid.)

Agreed! If your attitude isn't Kojima Matata, I don't think you get the full MGS experience.

(And if you like action games I can highly recommend Metal Gear Rising, it's the hottest shit since Bayonetta. Dismembering guys and ripping out their spines has never been this fun before. It's a little worrying. And also doesn't make a lot of sense in the end. THANKS KOJIMA.)
