Hello Oysters! We have a couple housekeeping things to announce, plus a poll!

Firstly, we hope you're looking forward to the event on Monday! The game calendar has been updated to reflect May and June dates. Generally, the regular schedule for the game will be:
First week of the month: Event OOC plotting post

Second week of the month: Event is live

Third week of the month: Test drive or CR meme
Our TDM will be posted bimonthly, and current players will be allowed to use TDM threads for AC rewards. The off month will have a general CR meme for players looking to build CR outside of event-specific options. And of course, we encourage player plots (and may have some surprise mini events of our own along the way), and will update the calendar with those as they come up!

There are a couple of changes to our player cap and character limit as well! When we opened the game, we were unsure how many apps we could handle, so we kept the cap low to be safe. Now, after a round of apps, we're confident in our ability to process a larger number! With that in mind, we will be increasing the player cap from 30 to 50, and the cast cap from 5 to 10. We will also be increasing the current character limit from two per player to three per player, though players seeking to app a third character will have to provide an additional AC proof from their current two characters.

Our current planned application cycle is to have them open every other month, on the following schedule:
23rd of the month: Reserves open

30th of the month: Apps open

3rd of the month: Reserves expire

7th of the month: Apps close
That said, we would like to open it up to our playerbase for a vote! We believe we could handle keeping apps open on a perpetual basis (at least for a time, reserving the right to switch back to an app cycle whenever we felt we could no longer keep up), and were wondering what you players would like. Would you prefer a standard cycle with reserves and apps opening and closing, or to have applications open on a continuous basis until we approach our player cap? Please comment under the appropriate heading in the comments below with your vote!

Also, Discord! Is there any interest in having a game Discord server? We could make one, if you all would like to use one!

Lastly, we're first time mods, and getting this game up and running has been a learning experience already. We wanted to say that we appreciate your patience and understanding as we iron out details and try to make this the best game it can be! If you have any questions, please leave them on the first comment to this page. If you have suggestions for things we can do to improve, both as mods and the game as a whole, our mod contact page is always open and comments are screened.

Thank you for joining us! We look forward to telling some fun stories with all of you.

To answer your question about the Discord server: I'd probably join a Discord server if there was one but I also don't think we're missing anything if we don't have one, if that makes sense...

Same here. If it's an option, I'd use it, but if it's not that's not a big deal to me either.

discord servers are neither here nor there for me, tbh! there's the potential that if the game is larger it could make co-ordination easier, but it's certainly not a necessity.

I tend to hang around discord, but my participation in larger chats can be spotty. Still, I'd probably join!

I'm not too good with bigger chats but I definitely wouldn't say no to a discord server.

I'd probably join if there was one, but I've never been great with bigger chats, so I'm fairly neutral on it!

I like discords, but I do realize it's more work for the mods to manage so I'm ok with not having one

Belatedly swings by I missed this - I'd join one but no big deal either way!
