The Games [OOC]
may the odds be ever in your favor
July 31st, 2013 
gamemakers: (announcement.)
So we just wanted to check in with everyone and sorta discuss where the game was going, what kinda over arching things you'd like to see, etc.

Some things coming up for sure:

There will be a shift in power between the Capitol and the rebellion in public mentality. The Capitol is a little put off by the glee in which Penny and Creuntus killed Ariadne. In addition an upcoming event will give the Tributes some more power, and help the rebellion look good, and also hopefully be exciting.

Between the next two arenas (not this gap we are about to have, but the one after the next arena), we are working on a way to have a short term plot where tributes go to the Districts. It is a lot of organization, which is why it has taken so long. We have been wanting to do it for awhile, and know you guys have too.

A couple places we are looking at for change and development (though don't feel like you need to stick to these subjects at all):

Player run activities

We know with the nature of this game, this is sorta intimating because you do have to work so closely with us. However, we don't mind working with you. We really like figuring out how to make things work, so although a lot of plans will have to be edited and adapted, that is a welcomed thing. Lisa was brought on as a mod specifically to help plots run more smoothly, especially in the Capitol.

We kicked around the idea of an events calender, but we were sorta undecided as to whether that would be helpful, especially with how flexible the bigger events can be. And if you have an idea for an event but not a character who would run it, feel free to drop it to us (like the dating event.)

Applications

For sure we are adding a "What are your plans for your character in this setting." type section. But what else kind of things would you guys like to see from the app? We have a very different AC system, and it works great for us, and we are open to exploring ideas for different sorts of application processes. 

We wanna see, of course, that you can talk about your character, understand them, play with them in a reactive setting, and understand our setting here. But maybe there's other ways to do and we'd like to hear your thoughts.

Themed Arenas

So when we originally started we wanted to do smaller "Themed" arenas. Themes like Couples Only, New Careers, Fan Favorites, Low Levels, Random Selection. These would be shorter arenas (a week or two) with significantly less participants (12, probably) where the mods could do more controlled or more out there arenas.

Is this still something people would be interested in? And if so do you have any general feed back for them? 

Rebellion

So some day, in the distant future, District 13 will become a thing, and the game will sorta shift tones, but that day is not yet, nor in the near future.

But there is this whole rebellion going on. There will be a little bit more public power with the next event, and some propaganda showing up, but in what ways would you guys like to see it effecting the plot.

Other

Feel free to bring up any concerns/thoughts/anything for both OOC and IC stuff (And if you don't feel ok just layin' it out here, private lines are always open.) We will listen to all, we will work in what makes sense for the game. We do want everyone to have as much fun as possible, but if we don't work in a suggestion, we still love to hear it. There's a lot going on behind the scenes, but sometimes an idea that doesn't work now gestates and shows up somehow later.

The one thing we are very solidly good on is arena ideas they're coming out our butts.

HELLO FRIENDS

Not actually a hiatus! But just a quick note to say that I'll be/have been a bit slower with tags recently because of laptop issues. As in the type wherein it randomly dies on me around 4 times a night. Shouldn't be a long-term thing because I'm planning on getting a new one either this week or next, but still! Sorry for the slowness, I have not forgotten about my tags!
10:00 pm - hiatus/slowatus

Just a note that I'm really short on time for the next two weeks, since I'm going to Otakon and finishing up my degree at the same time (someone spare me please). So I'm going to be on a hiatus/slowatus. Tags are going to be slow if not non-existent and I'm not planning on starting any new threads until I get back (other then things I've already planned with people). After that, you will have me forever for as many backtags and backlogs and new logs as you like, I promise.

This affects Terezi and Alice. See you soon, guys. <3
