More Changes! (AC/Endgame)

[ironwood]

(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!

I understand what you mean, and while I was aware of the time it took to walk I hadn't realized it could be problematic for certain characters to justify themselves in logs that happen on the other side of the turtle. It's a good point and thanks for bringing it up, we'll keep it in mind. Something like Foreigner-endorsed vehicles or some a character creating a pseudotaxi business would be a good idea, haha xD

A silly idea though, this is just me as a player trying to help another one out: there are some characters who have handwaved good relationships with Kedan neighbors, or the drivers of vehicles, to justify them just getting drives to places? Armin has a way to make people just want to pet his head and help out, he could manage that I'm sue.

Lol yes, on those occasions where I just gotta be somewhere I assume that Armin gets a hand somehow. He used to work at a Kirin barn that got burned down, and he does know how to ride a horse very well thank God, so sometimes I just handwave A KIRIN DID IT.

But yeah, I worry for new applicants, especially when we need new blood, they will need something available to them to make it easy for them to communicate right off the bat or else they probably won't stick. If I were to app Armin right now as things are, a lone canon warrior with no powers, I would have no idea what to do to get 'in'.
