HELLO HERE IS THE OFFICIAL IMEEJI ENDGAME ANNOUNCEMENT!

Endgame will start on March 25th at 2 PM PST, with a small mostly self-guided exploration event like the Heaven Exploradora, where there will be a big writeup of things characters can do/explore/interact with, based on what good end they did (Heaven/Vengeance Hell/Liar Hell/Fugitive) or whether they were a drop or current idol. During this time period there'll be the option for a very short 1-3 hour sit-down session for people who have the time/energy for that, but most of it will be very running-light, with the exception of NPC interactions and clarifications any extra things we didn't think of that people want to mess with. Players will be able to jump in and out of this as they wish until part 2 starts, there's no specific time frame they have to be present for. This is where most of the resolution of hanging threads will occur, as well as the big push towards the end of the production. It will also have a turn-in where players can outline what their character has done or is doing, which leads into the second part of endgame. People who don't want to thread anything out but want to have their characters have done a thing can also still leave a turn-in like "my guy threw rations into the pit so the runaway idols could eat" or "I made a bunch of paperwork so bureaucracy machine broke", etc.

Part 2 will go up afterwards, and be the Main Endgame Thing where everyone reunites and the production ends and everyone lives happily ever (PROBABLY?), though how exactly this all goes will depend on the turn-ins for part 1. This will be on March 31st at 10 AM PST, and will be open for people to hop in and thread in until April 2nd at 10 AM PST, which will be the final goodbye post where everyone finally definitively ends and everyone goes wherever they're going.

This post can also serve as a place for anyone who wants to to comment with HEY LOOK I'M BRINGING BACK COOLKID IDOLGUY FOR PART 1/2/ALL so that CR and friends can know who's planning on being around for this, for people who want to see who all will be participating before deciding whether they want to come back themselves!

Thank you all for playing,
The Imeeji Mod Team

Hi all, Vyndasia here!!

So I have an idea for a live. Lily is dramatic, chaotic, and stupid or ambitious or both and is going to run ALL of BARiTONES's lives at once. Tragically, this only counts as one, but it's going to be special and needs a bit (a LOT) of prep on my part. Levity is going to run this with her as an experiment, what he's testing who only knows, but what she's going to do is this:

THE LIVE

She will wager either points or booze that she can come up with a poem for someone within 5-10 minutes and then perform it. If she can do it, your character gives her points or has to take a shot of godawful fucking booze. If she cannot, she will lose points or have to take a shot.

THE LOGISTICS

This might result in a lot of poetry writing on my part and I would prefer for people to actually get them so instead of having, potentially, a lot of people comment to the live proper and then having me burn out as I try to rush to do them, I'm gonna preplan. If you're interested in participating for a POEM, please comment. I will write them in advance and reply to your comments on the live proper when it goes up.

I'll do at least TEN but maybe up to TWENTY. Somewhere between there. You can also just come out and drink or watch her perform to get your points! You do not need to comment for that!

ANYTHING ELSE

My brain is drunk bees; I would like to be consistent and organised and say first-come, first-served, or even randomised to be better accommodating--and I will try for the latter--but it's a matter of what I can come up with.

I will try to get in people who've never gotten one from her, and would like to challenge myself too, but at the end of the day, I want this to be fun for everyone, myself included, and dashing my head against the wall to force myself to come up with stuff is only occasionally my idea of a good time.

ANYTHING ELSE 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Expect limericks. Lots and lots of limericks.

Also if any of her cr from other units wants to hop in on this, you can assume she contacted you icly or maybe ill just also do that myself icly, anyway hit the top-level up and I'll try to work this in. Might as well try and get SUPER EXTRA MEGA POINTS for all this effort

Thaaaank youuuu!

EDIT: Date depends on when I can get these all done lol

EDIT 2: I super lied i'm doing ten lmaaaaao

HEY IMEEJI

A quick idea I wanted to float before another memory mingle goes up!

PROBLEM
DO YOU EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY ENGAGING WITH MEMORY MINGLES? Does the cognitive dissonance of having your character witness a memory and then ICly go hunt someone down to talk to them about it when they probably wouldn't want to bother someone about their difficult experience put you off tagging? Does feeling inundated with too many memories or like engaging immediately doesn't make IC sense make it difficult to even bother reading through people's memories to see if there IS anything you'd want to tag?

YOU'RE NOT ALONE. Or at least, I have had these problems with memory mingles for... since I got in! and have heard from a few others that they feel similarly--SO. I have a few solutions I want to try, but the one I need the most help with OOCly is an adjustment to how we mark memory threads!

PROPOSAL
I would like us to start using the subject lines in memory posts to mark a memory thread as either TH, WN, or T&W

TH (Threading): This means the memory is open to being jumped for threads! This is basically the default way we've been handling memory threads, where people tag in expecting to thread about the memory or memory-adjacent-ish things with the top-level character.

WN (Witnessing): This is basically a memory top-level made specifically for just getting the memory written up and posted in public for characters to potentially see. You would reply to a top-level marked "WN" with maybe an OOC note to the player or a quick IC reaction so that they know your character saw the memory. This is so that the OP will know who might be interested in having the subject of their memory come up more naturally in future threads. Hopefully having an option like this reduces the need to immediately engage with a memory while still creating opportunities to play with it later on! Also hopefully this makes it less scary to wade through a memory mingle to see if there's stuff that would ping your character.

T&W (both): And of course marking a thread with both means opening a top-level to both threading immediately or just letting people tag in with having seen it.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY and me-proposed, so it's not gonna be like OFFICIAL EVERYONE HAS TO DO THIS (I'm not a mod!) so I'd need the cooperation of whoever thinks this is good idea! I WANTED TO LIKE put this up at the same time as my own memory mingle specifically for testing out this formatting but also I have too many memories to write up so THIS COMES FIRST I GUESS... (to be pimped again later when I have my shit together enough to do a memory mingle for everyone that I can actually top-level in.)

HELLO. This post is specifically for BE=DE and HSS. We're trying to get a headcount for those individuals who would like to help arrange for a joint meeting for the teams with Mukuro since that's been established ICly as a goal that people would like to aim for and I think a few of us are already saving.

AS A QUICK RECAP FOR THOSE MEMBERS WHO ARE NEWER AND HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON the long and short is that Mukuro is one of the hosts of the nefarious games who holds plot-pertinent information. In order to meet with him, you have to pay. A 1v1 skype style call is 20k points, a 4v1 skype style call is 50k points, and the in-person, UNKNOWN number of possible participants meeting (that everyone has basically given up on) is 250k.

ESSENTIALLY, we're seeking to solidly find out the following:

who is already / want to participate in pooling points
do you or does your character wish to be a part of the meeting
if you don't care about actually speaking with mukuro but still want to help, how many points your character has or would be willing to donate to the cause

If we have an even four people, then 1 meeting would cost each individual 12,500 points. If people want to ICly donate but don't care about participating, then that eases the cost for each individual. However, say if 7 or 8 people want to meet with Mukuro, but 10+ people are willing to donate, then we could theoretically fund 2 meetings without too much hardship, or perhaps score a meeting with Mukuro and a second (and cheaper!) meeting with Exael.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN POINTS JAIL DUE TO SOME PERSONAL REASON(S), THAT IS OKAY. We are not planning to actually submit for the meeting asap but rather to wait for some of the other group(s) funding it to go ahead first so that we can use their answers and in-game ha[ppenings to formulate further questions.

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).
