Radio and Hospital Updates

[survival_isnt_living]

Hello, everyone! Lee here with updates on both the radio and the hospital and their role in the changing status of game.

Radio
With the network still on the fritz and subject to likely hacking by our favorite Malikitten, Lois and Clark will be maintaining the policy of having the radio available for making one-way broadcasts! If you want to make one, run it by one or both of Al and myself first; if Lois or Clark would object strongly, that discussion and persuasion of one of them to allow it should be threaded out.

To reiterate the rules about radio posts:
- CLEARLY mark in the subject line (and possibly an ooc reminder in the post itself) that this is a radio post and not via network console.
- Remember that all replies MUST be action and not voice, video, text, or anything else. It can go in a log or the post itself, but action only.
- All action responses are to that message only, just to make reading easier.
- We should have a tag on the network comm for radio posts shortly! Use it.

As far as radios for people to listen to: until further notice, assume that if your character doesn’t have a radio, there is still a supply of them at Radio HQ and one can just be picked up. An announcement about this and about the radio continuing to be used as alternative to the network can be assumed to be broadcast periodically.

Hospital
An updated list of who is working at the hospital and in what capacity will be kept here. Please let me know about any changes that should be made.

Thanks to the spores, the hospital will be working to create a cistern to be kept off the regular plumbing and water lines, to make sure they have clean, sanitized water. If your character would be willing and able to help with this process, let me know.

Another change in how the hospital is run due to the shift in game and in hospital management: besides the basic volunteering and first aid training, there will be training to be a nurse or healer in the middle of a fight. There is also a list of characters who volunteer to be combat doctors, from ‘set it up beforehand’ to ‘oops we’re running out the door and want a hand.’ There are some kedan NPC healers on this list, but there are also PCs. It’s a chance for some new CR and getting us out of our spheres of comfort!

The list is here. If your character wants to be a combat doctor, sign up here or on that post, and go have them talk to Septimus at the hospital ICly because I love new CR. /totally selfish

Speaking of, there is a May open log for the hospital over here. Come join the party!

A Suite Proposal

[cherrywood]

see what I did there with the pun

Hello Chelonauts! As part of our game changes, one thing that I'm looking at is a suite realignment: that is, condensing the Foreigners who are spread out across the housing blocks into smaller groupings to help encourage new CR to be built.

There's a couple of options that I'm testing the waters with and they are: keeping everyone in separate suites but filling the housing blocks (so basically the same setup as now, just with more neighbours) or condensing everyone into roommate/flatmate housing, and with OOC versus IC logistics for both options. Either way there will be IC justification (Evandau orders them, etc) for the change, so this post is for discussion and ideas of what players would like to see.

The primary goal for this change up is to open new CR for characters (which translates to more plotting, more character development, and easier ways to make AC!) so while you're welcome to use your characters as examples for or against various options, this is mostly focused on what you as players feel would benefit you the most.

Based on the outcomes of this discussion, there will be a poll put up later for people to actually make their votes on the matter. This is just for people toss out their ideas and the poll choices will be built from these.

TAKING BACK WHAT IS OURS (bnr we just need the palace back)

[andaway]

So it's becoming obvious there's diverse groups of characters waiting to strike/get intel on the palace now that it's taken over by the big bad M, and I thought, in my comfortable fortress of solitudehiatus that a bit of organization put together could be helpful.

As far as I’m aware there’s a group that plans to approach it in a discrete way to try to gather intel, a group that plans to use magic and others who plan on trying a bit of a more, uh, direct attack so I will make headers to discuss these three groups and how each ‘attack’ would go, but keep in mind I’m not trying to lead it all or anything like that- I’m just trying to provide an easier way to discuss and plot.

Also it was suggested we use the player mission for each of these plans so the IC attack would probably go up the moment the player missions go up as well, unless groups decide they would rather not use it.
