when we said soon we meant right now
So about that last post! Here are the changes we are going to make:
AUs and pre-made NPCs
So we are going to allow Hunger Games AUs, with some limits:
You must have an active Tribute (or a Tribute who has won) and although all other apps are being lowered to 2 weeks, you will need to be in the game at least one Arena to have a Hunger Games AU, so we know you are familiar with the feel of the game, and will be suited to fit a character into <i>our</i> Capitol, and how it is different/expanded upon from the books.
In addition, if you have a canon AU version who is a Tribute, you will be expected to accept a few reasons for why the Capitol would put in one of their own. Right now we have the ideas of "You wanted it because Capitol people." and "The Capitol is using this as a warning because you are doing shit." (And we are open to more suggestions)
And, as with any AU, we will also be more stringent on these OCs.
We will also be making a more limited set of NPC, that can be adopted. A few escorts, stylists, etc. We won't be doing ALL (because to just do all the escorts/stylist/mentors would be over 50 NPCs) but there will be a handful.
PLOTS
We have a plot post now here.
We will be doing pretty much what was discussed in the comments, which...really won't be much different from how things have been. The occasional plot, that is on some level plot relevant. We will work plots from the plot post in as often as we can, either in the real game, or in memes.
LOCK DOWN PLOT
Will be happening. We are sussing out all the details right now.
POINTS
We will be increasing the points for replying to someones post/thread from 2 to 5.
AGE LIMIT
We added a rules about age limits. There is no player age limit (past Dreamwidth's rules), but we do expected everyone to respect any laws in place in their area, in regard to content. If we catch you not, it will be an instaban, because that kind of thing can get players in hot water.
App-able characters are still allowed all ages (hypothetically, of course, if a character doesn't fit they can still be rejected on a case by case basis), but we do ask there is no in game sexual content for characters under 16. We had a pretty through discussion, because we know laws vary by states, the canon contains reference to underage sex, and there are very mixed feelings about the subject out there. 16 is the age of consent in all of our states (mod-wise) and seemed a solid age that would not change the possible tone of the rp. Though we don't expect anyone currently in the rp to really push those boundaries (y'all are, once again, awesome) we realized someone could exploit it later on, and wanted to close it before anyone did.
We're happy with people exploring the darker dark side of the Capitol, and we are grateful to the mature nature the players are handling with it, and we respect that a lot.
