imeeji_backstage | Weekly Announcements!

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
