ENABLE ME PLEASE

Welcome to Expiation's CR meme! This is a post where players can plot with each other on the direction they'd like to go for the month, and so on and so forth. There's a form below for you to fill out below, so get plotting!

We're now including an EMP element since it's an app month! We have an APP THIS PLEASE and ENABLE ME PLEASE in the comments below with a form, so if you're interested in participating, use the form and comment under the subject title applicable. Other than that, the regular comments will go as a normal CR meme would! Also, the TDM will be posted in the log comm with old and new characters alike able to top-level on it.

The SOTG for June is HERE. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.

JUNE TDM/MINGLE

TEST DRIVE/MINGLE: HAPPY PROGRESS DAY

HAPPY PROGRESS DAY?

Well, as stated in the SOTG, there are some visitors from another town, Briorsea! The first week of the month they’re setting up some things at the event center, which look like a festival of sorts. If Chosen snoop, the visitors seem to be open about what they’re doing. They’re going to bring some culture to Aldrip, they say! They’re going to bring their advances to Aldrip, and you’re going to be part of it. They want to test what sort of talent you all have! Are you guys inventors? Do you know how to make anything at all? Anything and everything seems to interest them – so long as you can even hold a nail and a hammer, they’ll be encouraging you to build something. Stretch your mind! They seem to have brought a lot of materials and are okay with characters using them. You can ask in the comment below if you would like to know if they have something specific!

CUE MANIACAL LAUGHTER

Among the booths to make things, there’s obviously got to be a space to perform experiments! What has your character come up with? Please, experiment on another Chosen! They’ll even go so far as to drag volunteers in to match up with characters who want to do the experiments. It’s totally safe, promise. 100% will not end up a rat or get a new limb.

TEST YOUR LUCK

There’s also going to be a raffle for prizes in this, if you’re not really the inventing sort and still want in on the festivities. These prices will vary, but will mostly be in the form of blueprints and materials, as well as some other surprises as well. Comment below if you’d like to sign up!

A MEMORIAL

For those that aren’t interested in such a thing, Kotone and Scott are planning a memorial for those that have left Aldrip. More information will be coming in the form of a network post, but it will be included in the TDM as another form of mingling.

QUEST BOARD

Also as stated in the SOTG, we now have a quest board. Outside of the prompts in the TDM, we have these on there to be offered throughout the month:

MEEP MEEP:
"I heard you guys have those big birds that are as fast as horses here! I think they're called chocobos? I'd like to study their biology, and figure out what makes them such great runners! Don't worry, I won't hurt them. I just need you to gather some of their feathers for me! About 5 will do."|

Reward: a motor engine

GORDON'S PLIGHT:
"I pride myself on having tried every type of fowl in existence, but I've never eaten the one you have here. The black one! It seems different from the ones we have on the islands… If you can get me one of those, along with a good recipe, I'll make it worth your time!"

Reward: Mystery Egg (will contain a new type of bird)

FOR SCIENCE:
"We're planning to organize an innovation festival, a place for all aspiring creators to shine! We even got permission to use the event venue for it, but… it needs a bit of work. Putting up the decorations, getting the stage together, you know the drill."

Reward: a music box containing a familiar tune from receiver’s world

EXPLOSIVE POTENTIAL:
"Apparently there are some plants here that produce cones with volatile properties. I require you to procure some - around 10, I'd say - for a certain experiment I have in mind. Please make sure they're secured and deliver them to the docks."

Reward: a handful of coins and a threat to not mention it to anyone

HEY HO:
"You guys have some caves nearby, right? Lorentia or whatever they're called. Well, I've heard the minerals there can be useful for a type of machine I want to put together! Get me some of those. I could try getting it myself, but I've heard rumors there are dragons living there… Sounds fake, but I'd rather not risk it."

Reward: high grade steel

JUNE BRIDES:
"I'd like to see a reenactment of a marriage ritual from another world! It doesn't even have to be real, just grab a friend and put up a show for us. It won't be binding… probably?"

Reward: a crate of cashmere wool

[Not that the camera’s picking up on this, but Scott’s with Kotone and both of them are hovering over his tablet. They’ve been thinking about this for a while, especially after the disappearance of both Claude and Miller, and after discussing with each other about the idea…]

So, uh. Does anyone remember how Claude mentioned about holding a remembrance for all the people that disappeared? I know he’s gone now… but I think it’s a good idea still and we should go through with it.

[Especially since so many of them have ‘returned’ home now. Disappeared. Scott would like to believe that everyone is safely back home. At least it helps that when he vanished from this place, he did go back home and experience a bunch of things. But anyway…]

We’re thinking about holding it at Richard’s Inn. [And he definitely agreed, 100%. Uh-huh.] We’ll probably manage some food and drinks, but it would be helpful if you brought something too. Kotone can’t cook that much.

[Don’t make his girlfriend cook in the kitchen for hours on end okay!!]

If everybody brings a little bit, I think it'll be really fun! [Ah, yeah, unsurprisingly, there's the sound of Kotone's voice, neither confirming nor denying that she could cook that much.] Remembering people who are gone doesn't have to be sad. It would be nice if we could all eat together and share some of our favorite memories.

[Scott almost wants to add something really corny like ‘we can make new memories!’ But he refrains. No, that’s too much!!] And along with that, it might be nice to write down names and brief memories of them. You know. Have it in writing and for others to read. Like a book.

[Kotone hums, the sound of her voice getting a little louder as if she's leaning closer to Scott. Without him having to say he wants to make new memories, it seems she's having the same idea.] It might be nice if we could exchange something, too. You know, 'cause it's not just about the people who are gone, but making sure we can remember everyone who's still here, too. I could get the stuff from the Sewing Club, maybe…

Yeah, just a small something for the other person to hold onto. [He helps, concluding Kotone’s thoughts. Is there that obvious warmth in his voice as he looks at Kotone? Maybe. Yeah gross, don’t worry, they’re about to wrap up.] So yeah, bring food. Or if you have any extra thoughts, let us know.

[ooc: Replies will be given by either Scott or Kotone or both!]

Hello all players of Expiation. The spring really came in like a wrecking ball and the mod team has noticed that the game has significantly slowed down during these past few months. We would like to get some further feedback which direction the game should go. The poll from March did give us a general idea of what the players might like, but we would love to hear in more detail what do you guys think works in the game and what doesn’t. Let’s get the conversation going! How are you feeling currently in the game? Are there mechanisms you’d want to implement in the game? What kind of events do you want to see more and what less. This also included general feedback towards the mod team.

With things slowing down and the game becoming smaller, the mod team has been considering shifting our focus to be more personalized towards the existing player base and characters. For an example: The mod team has plans for the upcoming months that would focus more on world exploration, which would allow characters to visit various places and other cities. If this is something that your character would be interested in, please let us know so we can start working on including them in the plot.

We originally planned this announcement to be part of the State Of The Game post that goes up on the weekend, but decided to bring this up now so that we can start the conversation as we move towards the summer's adventures.
