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!

Very new player here, and my thoughts might be repetitive of some of those above but I'll throw in my two cents anyway.

What appealed to me about this game was honestly this part of the blurb:
TU SHANSHU is a community-based panfandom science fiction/fantasy RPG with occasional horror elements and an overarching metaplot.

I'm a plot person, to be honest. My interest in video games, books, anime, etc. is almost always influenced by the story - I'd play an old-school JRPG with horrible graphics and bad translation if the game's storyline appealed to me. And it's the same with RP. So I'll honestly be glad to see the metaplot reach its fulfillment here.

But a new chapter after the "final battle" would be nice, too, and maybe one that has a different feel than the current plot. Like, I dunno, the turtle actually lands somewhere, and people are like, "Oh wait, there's still land around here after all? Hurrah! COLONIZATION EXPLORATION TIME!"

All that said, I do understand how the game had slowed with the announcement of the endgame. It happened in the game I used to be in, and I loved that game. It was sad to see it fizzle, but at least some of us got to the "end" even if it really wasn't the same had it been played out with the rest of the player base. But thank you mods for reaching out to us players and letting our opinions count. ♥
