ironwoodHello chelonauts! It's the end of the year again, and time for a new State of the Shell.
As we wrap up 2016, there's been lots of development in the game and we as mods are thrilled that players have embraced the character consequence-driven style of play in TS. It's exciting for us to construct plots based on player's choices, and we hope it's enjoyable for you too!
GAME HMD
PLOT SELECTION
( A WILD PLOT(S) APPEARS! )
That wraps up this State of the Shell! We didn't have any process changes this time around, but if you've noticed anything in the game that needs updating, please let us know.
Thank you for a fantastic year and we're looking forward to 2017!

GAME HMD
I'd like to invite players to also use this post for a GAME HMD: that is, to share your thoughts on how you feel this year has gone in regards to the running of the game, the plots and events (speed, content, etc) and to share any feedback that we as mods can use to improve running TuShanshu. We cannot overstate the benefit that player feedback plays in allowing us to run the best possible game for everyone, and any input (positive or negative) is valuable to us. As always, we allow anon/non-IP comments if you are more comfortable commenting that way.
PLOT SELECTION
As mentioned on the November itinerary, in the coming year we're looking to consolidate some of the ongoing plots that are presently running, as there are a lot of them! We're asking that players choose from the list below, their top three preferred plots to pursue starting in the new year, and to comment with those three choices (and any input you have on them!) to this post.
We want to assure everyone that the other plots are NOT being completely shelved, nor that the existing development on them will be lost! TuShanshu has always had a connected-web style of plots, particularly with the overarching metaplot, and we do enjoy the intricacy and hope you all do too! Instead, we're simply looking to not have quite so many plots on the go at the same time, which we feel will allow us to put more detail, more personalization, and the better involve more players, in the "active" plots. When one of these plots resolves itself, we'll simply roll into another one to take its place.
