ACTIVITY CHECK

[idolpro]

The AC check rules are written up over on the rules page, but to reiterate: you need one proof of activity, either a Game or a Live or a Vid that you participated in. We don’t have a particular thread length we’re looking for, so long as there is significant interaction in play. If you need to link multiple threads in case you're not sure what that means, that's fine. However, if you post a bunch of Live and Vid threads that don't have anything going on, we reserve the right to take you to the side and talk to you about your activity.

If you took a hiatus for over three weeks, you may be exempt from Activity Check for one month and one month only, save for extenuating circumstances. If you have extenuating circumstances, talk to us first.

Additionally, as per our rules, you must be in the Discord server.

Here is the Activity Check copypasta:

<b>Player name:</b> <b>Discord compliance:</b> Are you in the Discord? Yes/No <b>Character name:</b> <b>Character username:</b> <b>Game/Live/Vid:</b>

Threads and Discord compliance are due by August 4th at 11:59PM PST, and only threads started in July count!

TEST DRIVE

( TEST DRIVE )

BETRAYAL SIGN-UPS

[imepro]

Hey, remember this game? We've looked over the times and selected the best times for both us runners and you players, from what we received on the post!

Here are signups proper! Please make sure to only sign up for two sessions per character at most. Each session has a 10 person max. If there are no more slots on a day, please comment to this page so we can keep a running tally - and see if we can't work around it. If there is a session that has no sign-ups or only a couple of people signing up, we'll see about rescheduling that session to another day to catch more traffic. Once more, each session should last 3 hours.

As for content warnings, to reiterate: please be aware that if you sign up, you are agreeing to it being okay if your character is killed or mauled in game. You are also agreeing to the possibility of playing your character turning traitor. Because this is our first time doing a game with tabletop mechanics involved, we expect this to be a little bumpy so please also be prepared to be patient with the runners.

The game will be played out of IC time and inserted into the timeline once the week is over, so you don't have to worry about it time-locking you.

Feel free to use this post for any other questions you might have, as well!

Weekly Announcements!

[imepro]

Hello, everyone! It's weekly announcements!

• The TEST DRIVE is up, and applications will be open on August 5th and close on August 11th at 6PM PST.

• JULY ACTIVITY CHECK is now live!

• The setting addition poll has closed! It looks like the new setting addition will be Indoor/outdoor hot spring. / An onsen! / (spa world) onsen water park. It has been added to the setting page with this description:

Hot Springs - Oedo-Onsen Monogatari

It's Tokyo's biggest onsen theme park. A three-hour walk from Shinjuku Gyoen and you have to cross the Rainbow Bridge to get there, but it's worth it! Probably. After all, it has everything you could want from an onsen— a big open air bath, certainly, but baths full of bubbles, one foot bath full of little fish that eat away at dead skin cells, traditional wooden tubs, a lazy river full of small smooth stones to walk through, rock salt saunas, free massage chairs. . . There's even free yukata rentals (exchange out your uniform for your stay, but you'd better return it to get your outfit back!) at the front, and a lantern-decorated traditional festival grounds, with carnival games! Throw ninja stars, scoop goldfish, all of that. Unfortunately all the food vendors are closed, so probably you'll want to bring your lunch with you. Fortunately, it is open 24/7, so you could have late-night baths if you wanted to!

There is a new IC post featuring the onsen up here.

• Betrayal sign-ups proper are open! Please sign up for two slots per character at maximum.

• Regarding buying abilities: abilities that are tailored to the character must include the details of that specification while purchasing the ability. The following unit and abilities are affected:

• WILD CITY: 10% furry, both full time and part time. In addition, please stick to one other animal aside from the mascot animal if there is any variation between theme and 10% furry animal choices. 10% furry animals must be related in theme to the character's theme animal; i.e. scaly creatures may be paired with other scaly creatures or furry creatures may be paired with other furry creatures, but you cannot have a theme animal of a bumblebee as well as the 10% furry traits of an ostrich, for example.

• In addition, we have revised the unit page for Heart Soldier Senshi with the following changes in bold:

• Heart Weapon: Use the transformation belt and you can pull out a nifty heart weapon! It is the symbolic manifestation of the user's heart, so if it takes damage, so will you. It isn't very effective against people you don't want to hurt, while it's more effective against people you dislike dislike. Player's choice what weapon best symbolizes/suits a character. However, it cannot be a ranged weapon.

• Henshin!: It's transformation armor: as long as they're wearing their helmet and "transformed", damage doesn't carry over when they de-transform. Their transformed form still needs to heal, though, so turning back and forth isn't an insta-heal, but if they try it again in a week all their cuts should have sealed up. While the transformation armor is protective, it cannot be bigger than a reasonably sized human is, and it should not provide more than protection (i.e. it shouldn't shoot lasers or something).

• Lastly, the Points Purchases spreadsheet has been updated and the layout has been changed so hopefully it is more easily readable.

That's probably it! Alright byeeee

Next Team Meeting Vote

[dragonheartedgirl]

Edit/Update: OKAY thank you to everyone who voted!! It looks like most people want the team meeting to go up as early as possible this week, so I'll be launching that today, Tuesday July 31st sometime in the afternoon. I'll be forward dating it it to Day 22 since a lot of people will probably be spending most of day 21 at the onsen and presumably everyone would be tired after 6 hours of walking and presumably several hours of horsing around.

Hey everyone! Gil/Hiryuu's player here. We have another trauma game coming up I'm looking to do (or start) the next team meeting before Betrayal starts up and everyone is busy with that. I know everything is constantly break-neck speed so I want to try to select the best day for as many people as possible. It's worth keeping in mind that the first sessions of Betrayal may be occurring on Friday the 3rd this week. Please feel free to check as many boxes below as you would like (I think you should be able to check multiple).
