Rampage Mini-Event Rolls

  • Jun. 17th, 2013 at 12:08 PM
Okay, everyone, here's the results of rolling for the Rampage mini-event. We'll put up posts for those who will be in the Armor Group and the Subduing the Terrors Group to plot there, with additional information for the latter regarding your opponents. Please use this post for plotting regarding fighting the Horde as well.

Remember, all additional information about the event can be found on these two posts. The race to determine how big the horde will be will hopefully be concluded by tonight, but assume there will be enough for all to fight.

Friendly mod reminder re: Apps

Hello there everyone! We've just gotten through a long app round, and we've gotten a lot of new people and characters, so let's make them feel welcome!

That said, we've got some concerns, particularly about apps and the app requirements.

For the past few rounds, we've been auto-pending a lot of people due to simple things, namely not meeting the word or sentence count requested in the applications.

Here's a breakdown of how many words we're looking for in specific sections:
Personality: At least 300 words.
History (OU): At least 400 words.
History (OC/AU): At least 500 words.
World (OC/AU): At least 300 words.
First person sample: At least 10 sentences, or 3-4 sentences per question for the Q&A.
Third person sample: At least 250 words.

If you don't know how much you've written in a certain section, here's a handy word count tool that's very accurate and reliable. All you have to do is copy+paste whatever you've written in the text box and click 'Calculate Words' (just remember to delete the flavor text, because it adds 8 words to the total count). Learn to love it!

We have also linked the tool to the apps page itself so it will be easily accessible in future app cycles.

As a reminder, please remember to proofread your apps before submitting them! Check if your grammar is correct, if you have all the facts right and important details down, and if the sections are completed and that they meet the word count. Better yet, ask a friend to go over it for you in case you’re not sure of its quality, because two heads are better than one. After all, each app cycle in the game lasts for a week, barring special circumstances, and reserves last for another week before that, so you have plenty of time to write and polish your app.

Slowatus incoming!

So, starting tomorrow I will spending a week in Florida! As I live in the midwest that means a nice day of travel and therefore spotty internet and airports. When I actually arrive, I'll be definitely busy as I'm visiting my brother and we're going over wedding stuff, since I'm the best man er person and this is the only time me and the maid of honor will be on the same continent and the flights aren't ghastly expensive.

Therefore, while I'm away, I'll be focusing on mod stuff, especially NPCing for the mini-event, mostly using phone tags when I need to. I'll keep on with tags for my characters and such, but I'll probably try not to tag into new things, as I'm not quite sure which days I'll have free. I'll be able to check plurk on my phone, so if you have something you need to ask me, that's the best place to do so! :>

I'll still try to keep up with everything, but mod-work will come first. :)

Dropping is never easy. It's also even harder when I have such amazing castmates. Alas! I think I've stretched myself too thin game-wise and didn't give the attention this game needed and because of that found myself at a loss for what to do with Conrad here.

You guys are awesome and keep on rockin' but, unfortunately, dropping Conrad means I'm dropping from the game as well. Thanks for everything.
