avalonooc | June Announcements & May Update Log

Announcements for June:

June will have a lovely and sunny first week, hanging around 68F/20C all week! Then it will rain for two weeks straight and dip down into the 50-60F/10-15.5C range and finish off overcast but not wet for the final week.
Same as last year, characters are able to obtain the unique spell from a number of local shops free with any purchase called (Spell) Loud and Proud! This spell causes their shoes to emit a Nyancat-esque flow of magic when they run, customizable to whatever flag they associate themselves with. Must provide your own background music, effects are only visual.

NEW Housekeeping Updates:

Test Drive Meme Changes
- Starting in June, ALL PLAYERS will be permitted to top-level on the TDM log, regardless of whether they are new characters or not.
  - New characters will have a top-level up at the top of the post for new players to reply with a link to their thread. That way they don't get buried among the rest of the post.
  - We are hoping this will allow use of TDM prompts to be more easily accessible in-game, more integrated as canon content, and give the opportunity for people who want to try out new characters but may not have ideas for a top-level to have more options to reply to to try out the game.
  - Test Drive Meme threads will be considered canon if:
    - Both characters are already in the game.
    - A character not yet in the game comments, then joins the game, unless the player requests in their OOC intro that the TDM threads not be considered canon.
  - It will still be posted is @avalaughs so non-members can easily comment.
- Starting in July: Instead of 1 mod writing the whole thing, the TDM will contain a standard arrival prompt set followed by 3-4 prompts, each written by a different mod (+/-1 depending on if a mod is busy with another project, a hiatus, etc. so 3 or 4). The prompts may be shorter than previously due to this, but you should still have plenty of content to work with!
