Weekly Event Summary

❧ Day 106
All Day: Deja Vu.
Kessex finally shows his face. Characters find themselves either lead to an item that holds one of the memories they've lost (or the person who found it first), or they find themselves reliving a memory while Kessex watches.

At Some Point: Coren drains Kessex and memories return to normal.

❧ Day 107
Early Evening: Coren brings more news.
Coren explains Kessex's arrival and the presence of Kessex's shrine. He also brings some news about the Matriarch, an epically large bird which the lizagons use for transporting their packs long distances. It will take a week or so at most to arrive and bring another army of lizagons with it.

Older Things of Note

• The potion Veseiy made to cure the nature poison went bad back around day 87ish and those who didn't drink from the fountain or arrived later are still susceptible.
Day 84 - Veseiy makes the remedy
Day 85 - Dellen calls attention to it
Day 86/87 - OOC note that remedy has gone bad | You can handwave drinking it.
Refrigerated samples would have gone bad in the blackout unless some was with Albinia.

• Easter egg from last Weekly was a generator info drop on day 104.



"Your Turn" Will Return Next Weekly!

But still feel free to use this post to plot or chat with mods and each other regardless!

ACTIVITY
❧ The Strike List is currently up.

❧ Starting with January we are making a slight change to what we accept for AC. I will just quote the only change to the Rules:

Activity requirements are:
EITHER 60 comments by your character in one month. These may be spread out across a maximum of 6 threads in a minimum of 2 different posts.
OR 1 player run post and 1 thread of any size in a different post. Any post not locked to specific players is acceptable, and co-run posts are acceptable as long as all co-runners participate substantially.

So! If you are happy with the 60 comment thing, you can absolutely still just do that. But we are providing another option, to hopefully encourage more people posting to the comm.

There are a few ground rules to this: Open Mingles that you aren't running do not count. However, any other post that isn't locked only to certain charas is fair game as long as you make an honest effort to run it and reply to people that tag in, even if that's only a few people. This includes co-running posts! Mods won't police them to make sure you replied to every single person, or check that your threads were replied to for days on end, or anything like that. As long as you didn't just toss up the post and then completely ignore it, it will count.

We encourage people to have a hook in the posts, to make them interesting for others to jump, such as characters engaging with the world in some way or inviting others to speak to them! Posts such as "Joe is walking around" still count if they fit the criteria listed in the last paragraph, but something more engaging will make for a more successful post.


GODS
❧ Alain and Kalidas have both been dropped! Kalidas' shrine is dying embers and no attempts to burn anything in it will yield a response, and Alain's shrine is gone all together.


MORE COOL GAME STUFF
❧ Because of increasing interest, we are looking into making it possible for people to app Thusian OCs, if they so desire! Right now we are still working the kinks out of it, and god players can expect to see a post after next week with some suggestions and questions, to make sure we do this in a way that works with, and not against, established game canon. Most likely we will announce exactly how this will work in the week after the gods post.

❧ With the lizagon event wrapping up next weekend, we have been thinking of some mostly non-plotty or terribly eventy things we want to work on getting done next! These are mostly things that are meant to be regular happenings but become irregular when the game is distracted by other matters. On the list: Unconscious Games, Dream Posts, temporary return of drafted characters (for those who wish to play with it), and a Test Drive Meme. We are definitely not going to shove these all into the month of January, but will work at spacing things out for the next couple of months! We just wanted to make sure everyone knows that while HQ plotty things are likely to be a somewhat constant aspect of the game, we'll be at a low tide for a little while and work on fitting in those Other Things.

Also if we have left something off this list that you would like the mods to work in, let us know! And don't worry, there should also be plenty of space for god players to run whatever they may be interested in, and are encouraged to grab space on the calendar at any time! We don't yet have any dates set so would be happy to work around other people's plans if they have them.


HOUSEKEEPING
❧ Please go to the Contact List and do TWO things! First, fill out the timezone column that has recently been added. And second, make sure that all of your current characters are on it, and all of your past characters are off. Thank you!
