More Changes! (AC/Endgame)

(I am so sorry to keep filling up the OOC comm with these posts, we're trying to roll the changes out as they're coming up.)

ONE. Effective immediately, we are removing the double activity requirement for applying for a 4th character and changing it to "having passed the last two consecutive ACs with your full roster". This does not include passes gotten by hiatus or by new character exemption. The strike policy (one per character every six months) has not changed. If this goes well, we may consider expanding to larger rosters in the future.

EDITED TO ADD: If you are on hiatus but have passed the previous two ACs before the hiatus, you can still apply for a 4th character. For example, if you passed January and February's AC normally and were on hiatus for the month of March, you could still apply for a 4th character in April.

TWO. Later in June, the modteam will be reviewing the proposed endgame that was put into effect last year, to see whether it still fits with the plan of the game -- specifically, we will be looking at removing it if that seems feasible. As such, we'd like to invite all our players to express their opinions on that potential change in this post.

Thank you!

Wearing my player hat here for a second, and then segueing into my mod hat:

I think the announcement that the game was closing wasn't conducive to the player base. Especially since it sort of dropped out of nowhere, with no input from us. As a result, we saw a huuuuuuuge spate of drops, leaving us at this point.

I want to rev this game back up again, gosh darn it.

My suggestion is that we do indeed wrap up the Malicant plot sometime soon (no later than six months from now) and then move the game in a new direction. TWO-Shanshu, if you will. (Two Sanshu Two Furious? Two-Shanshu Electric Boogaloo? Throw me a bone I'm dying here.) This is the discussion in June that Li mentioned. Because we're not there yet, but that's my suggestion, as both a player and a spanky-fresh moderator.

Okay, I've been trying to spare brain from work to formulate what I want to respond with, and that last paragraph covers it pretty well. Extending the current war/plot further or canceling its resolution is not something that I'd like.

Finishing that off and continuing in a different direction? That, I can like a bit more.

I'm trying to scrape together braincells without coffee at 6:30 AM. It's fun!

I am also invested, as a player, in the defeat of our shadowy pain in the ass. I do want to see a resolution there, as a moderator. So, yes. Moving the defeat of Malicant off to an indefinite postponement is not in the cards. Killing him tomorrow and closing the game is DEF. not in the cards.

Yeah you've said it all better than I could, as a player you guys know my opinion is that end game killed the Tushanshu Star. I liked the plots and everything we got from it but it killed a lot of people's drive (including mine, I've only recently half-gotten it back).

Also Two Sanshu two furious is the best pun ever and I can see now why you're so good at Stiles

Gotta scoot to work in about three seconds so short reply is short, but man you've hit the nail on the head here.
