Good evening, Imeeji! It's time for announcements!
• Unit restructuring continues! We hit a few snags IRL but we're steadily working with these and you'll see the results soon—we're looking to hopefully implement all changes next week, so expect to see the spreadsheet soon. Thank you for continuing to have patience with us!
• In the meantime, we've decided to implement the Live Hosting bonus as well as the Monthly Theme bonus:
- Every month, we'll have a theme that gives a base multiplier of ⅔ to Lives and Vids! This means that you get 200 extra points for Lives that have the monthly theme (for a total of 500), and 100 extra points for Vids that have the monthly theme (for a total of 250)!
- For every 3 units that participate in a Live that you hosted (including your own unit), you get 150 points extra. This means you can get up to 600 points extra for hosting the Live. You must be the one to host the Live: if a BARiTONES hosts a bartending Live and another member participates as a customer, the latter does not get the bonus. This also applies to solo Lives, i.e. WILD CITY and LiliS can work together for a nail salon + photoshoot joint Live and both units' members will get the bonus, or AlcheME! can have a fortune telling Live and get the hosting bonus. Please remember, however, that while this is meant to reward those who put the effort into big Lives, you should still take care not to overwhelm yourself—don't be ashamed to set a limit of 5 people for your Live or however you want to do it if you need to!
- With the combined Monthly theme and Hosting bonuses, this means the maximum number of points you can get from hosting a Live is 1100 points!
- We are currently in the middle of constructing a new informations page; the above will be available to view there, but for now, we're stickying this page so that it's at the top whenever you check the OOC comm!
• With all that said, this month's theme is Weddings! Have a wedding, stage a wedding murder, steal a bride, have a heart attack at a wedding, dress up and get your hair did for the wedding, take wedding pictures—whatever you want to do, you can do! A post is up for this now ♥
Because we are introducing this halfway through the month, we're extending this month's theme to throughout next month as well; we'll also be introducing a June theme on the 7th, but you can only have one theme bonus per Live.
• Also, the aforementioned post has a the setting poll up! Woah!! We're already there!!
• NafunAI's advertising game is this Tuesday at 5 PM PST, and Gloom is on the 30th! Again, both are trauma games—please remember to pace yourself according to avoid trauma burnout!
• We've reviewed past app revisions to find commonalities and have revised our app form—nothing has changed in terms of what we judge, but we've better outlined and clarified what we're expecting from each section. In addition, we've also added questions from the Q&A regarding apps to the new app page and have changed links to reflect this as well!
• As announced before on Discord, we've rehauled the points shop as well as the points spreadsheet—you can find both on our new points page! It also has the Hosting bonus as well as the Monthly Theme Bonus on it, so you don't need to do anything extra. Shoutout to ACNH flower breeding sheets and Raina & her spreadsheet for teaching Youji how to use formulas and shoutout to Carly and Celi for troubleshooting the spreadsheet!
• The Win Records sheet has been edited to be divided by OOC year for easier viewing. Something's up with the htmlview so we've changed the link to be viewed on Sheets proper—this means it might be more difficult to load for those who are primarily on mobile; we apologize for any inconvenience.
• Carly is a hero and has figured out a script to help tag posts—you can find the scripts in the coding and spreadsheet chan if you're interested and/or curious! She's also added !unitpost and !mingle tags, as well as unit sub-tags to help find things. All of April has been tagged—please give her a big thank you for helping out!
That should be all (for now), but expect more excitement soon ✨
