Mod HMD | February Metaplot Event

[ironwood]

Here we go again! As before, and for anyone who may have missed it, at the end of every mod-run event in Tu Shanshu we toss up an open dialogue post so that the events can be discussed. This is mostly to see if everybody's as happy as possible with the direction the game is going, whether or not the events could be considered a hit or a miss, that sort of thing.

This particular HMD covers the February Metaplot event, and this is where you all come in.

Did you like it? Did it run too fast? Too many posts? Too few? Was there enough variation for everyone? Did you guys have fun, or did you feel like you were overwhelmed with it all? Was there too much NPC direction or not enough?

OBVIOUSLY if you have more comments, questions or concerns than those listed above you can add those as well! This is pretty much just a general list.

Please remember, ANON IS ON for this and IP LOGGING IS OFF so if you have anything you'd like to say but maybe you're more comfortable putting it forth anon that is a-okay! You can also feel free to PM us at this journal, or to toss a private plurk at either of the mod accounts (those being vonnerdyce or reignsdown) if that suits your fancy. Any and all comments are welcome, and though participation in this meme isn't required it's definitely encouraged if you're up for it.

Thanks again, guys, and happy turtling!

The idea for the metaplot was good. I like that there are far-reaching effects for the community at large. I would like to see more involvement for characters that either haven't made the cut for each of the teams, or are not so inclined to try their hand at sneaking around and failing. Maybe a parallel happening in the city for everyone else can occur. Something like tightened security, increased tensions between kedan and foreigners during these volatile events, or something else. It doesn't need to be big! I'd just like to see other characters get pulled in to these events, so they can care about what's happening, too.

That moment when you were pretty sure you'd replied to this and... then apparently hadn't.

Anyway! That's something we'd actually discussed, but the plot planning ended up taking the majority of our focus for the duration of the event. We're definitely open to suggestions about any peripheral plots (seriously don't be shy, we can't think of everything and the input helps us keep things on track as they go) and we'll keep this in mind for the next big event we run.

I think it was just an "oops, RL thing" this time, but for plot-important threads like Team Echo, it would be helpful to have information out to the participants ahead of the event so that we don't lose time having to plan out how to get four people moving in the same direction IC and OOC. It took us a couple of days to get in gear, and that's left us and the rest of the game hanging as to the IC outcome of the plot.

Yeahhh that was mostly due to the RL stuff. We'll try to be a little more prompt in the future. Ty, Caro. <3
