announcements!

[imepro]

Hi guys! It's announcements time!

• There will be a run of war rooms on Friday, February 1st. It should start at 5 PM PST and will be a trauma game set to last about three hours.

• Mora will be running another murder mystery trauma game on Wednesday, February 6th. Times will be announced closer to the date; look forward to it!

• Remember to sign up if you want to run a Heart Game! Closer to the date, we'll open up scheduled signups for scored runs etc!

• Remember to pace yourself! We understand that this is, essentially, three heavy games in a row. Please participate in the games that you can handle, and don't bite off more than you can chew. We will be having lighthearted posts throughout February as well, and we hope that everyone will be able to play with what they like!

• Continuing on from last week, we've made some more changes to Lives/Traits as well as abilities! The following units are affected:

sensitIV

• The ability keep me in your Memory has been changed: wounds can now only be healed if they are moderate to severe.

pep!pep

• The ability Jump Start has been changed to Thermal Control: Make something hot or cold but not actually freeze or burn. Users can control their own temperature as well as the temperature around them, meaning that they can always be comfortable in any weather and they can make drinks cold or hot, etc. This effect only works on the user, the environment, and objects, and cannot be used on other people.

• The Live "Make an oath" has been expanded upon to also include accepting a quest.

• In order to make unit traits more relevant, we're introducing Bonus Trait Points! Here's how it works:

• Characters who display their unit traits in a Game will receive 300 bonus points on top of their winnings. Losing a game becomes 400 points, winning a game becomes 1100 points, and winning a game with a bonus becomes 1300 points.

• This is individually counted - points are only applied to the specific characters who display these traits. Gamerunners and mods will not be keeping track of this, so you are responsible for rewarding yourself!

• When tallying bonus points on your points sheet, you must link at least one relevant thread that displays the trait for ease of mod approval. If you do not link the thread, those points will not be honored.

• Individual bonus points do not count toward the Collective Points sheet.

The Mechanics and Units pages have been updated to reflect these changes.

Wew, that's pretty much everything for now! We'll see you next week, guys!
