Important Game Discussion.

Okay so first of all let me say that the game isn’t closing. Not by a long shot but I am making some long term and permanent changes to the structure and how the game works. The most important one being that I’m going to remove the large scale month long plots. I think with a game of our size, it’s just not something that is feasible to keep doing. It’s a large time investment with everyone having multiple characters and a lot of roles to fill in the game. So with that said I am going to remove the three month structure that has been present from the beginning (plot/memory share/nightmare) and instead have it be just alternating memory shares and nightmares.

That isn’t to say that plot is going away entirely by any means! Instead plots will happen within the other months (but less frequently than now) and will be a smaller opt in model. The smaller opt in model will give people who want something to do something to do as well as not forcing the game to come to a stand still during plot based months. When they are going to come up, I’ll throw them into the monthly plot post and have sign ups then. Then when the plot comes around I’ll ask people to confirm those plans in fairness to everyone involved.

I also think that this smaller plot direction will give people more options and times to create player based plots if they’d like to do it. It gives us the ability to create inter character plots, and things of that nature.

It also frees up some things for exploration, particularity on things like the test drive meme and where people have more freedom to do what they’d like. Of course that doesn’t mean that big changes wouldn’t need to be plot approved, and there is a new screened post here where people can bring plot ideas for approval etc.

Additionally those people who did have character who participated in the event will receive a bonus award from home as a reward for doing so. It only seems fair.

The second major change I am implementing is increasing the character limit to four.

I realize that the plot change is a big one that not everyone is going to be happy with, but honestly I think it’s what the game (and myself) need going forward. The info and FAQ posts will be updated in the next few days to reflect this change. Thanks guys!
