avalonmods: PB: Chiaki Takahashi (Morganna Hidden)
[personal profile] avalonmods
Want something in the game before you leave that you couldn' get through other means? Summoning Morganna has always been an option, but now until 10/10 you may submit for a handwaved summoning without locating the hidden appointment link. From now until October 10th, players may submit wishes for Morganna using this link and will receive Morganna's price via PM to character journal (and posted on the spreadsheet). It will be checked on Fridays until then at a minimum. (Maybe more if time permits but for sure an alarm will be set for Fridays.)

Must be submitted by 10/10. No thread will occur, this will be a handwaved interaction. All mod responses with IC prices should be made by 10/15 at the latest, we will not be addressing new requests after that point as the game will have ended. Mods have a right to deny requests we do not think Morganna would agree to.

Please respond to this post with any questions.

 Hello everyone!

A friendly neighborhood reminder that you have appr. 19 hours to turn in activity for your activity check. Click the spreadsheet here for directions and to post your activity. 
  • If your character's name has a green background, it means the mods have already verified your link.
  • Reminder that we do not have a strike system given the low AC requirements.
  • If your character is not listed, that means you do not owe AC. (This pertains to new characters that came in this month, as new arrivals do not have to turn in AC.)
  • If your character has a crown emoji, that means they earned a free pass in December 2020 or bought one in Rewards. To use a pass instead of turning in AC, type "Pass" in the URL column.
  • See a friend who you know has been active? Make sure you remind them to turn in their AC! It's due by 11:59PM PST today, 7/31!
Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Thank you for your patience, here are the tournament results:
  • 1v1 Beginner: Mamori Minamoto
  • 1v1 Skilled: Xue Yang
  • Free-for-All: Rei Amayado
  • Magical Maze: Zidane Tribal
  • Potion Pickers: Caster
In the spirit of transparency: Please note that 1v1 and Free-for-All were redrawn because some of the submitted names were missing from the spreadsheet on the first draw. All others were double-checked and correct. These are the final results. Both the erroneous draw and the correct draw were done on livestream with player witnesses. More info about what they will be doing IC with the fairy queen will be released tonight for the plotting post. Thanks so much and have a wonderful Sunday. Happy Juneteenth!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to quickly update you on a few things. Due to technical difficulties, the event was delayed. It was announced on plurk and reflected on the unofficial discord because it was announced on a phone and writing a post on DW is really difficult. So if you didn't see either, we apologize and know that the technical difficulties are now resolved. To this end, here's the updated schedule/info:
  • Tournament Drawing Livestream: 6/19 at 3:15PM PST here. - Result are here.
  • Event plotting post: 6/20 early morning PST (by 2am at the latest, I'm aiming for exactly midnight)
  • Event start/log posting: 6/22
  • Activity Check due: 7/3 by 11:59pm PST - due to the event postings being pushed a couple of days, we're pushing AC a couple of days this month. That way if you were waiting for the event to scoop up your thread for AC and didn't have notice on plurk/discord that there was an issue, there's no additional stress or drama. You've got the same amount of time you would've otherwise.
Additionally, we would like to note an upcoming change to event plotting post / log posting timing. We will be extending the timing for the plotting post now that the game's pace has changed a little to allow for more plotting time. Plotting posts will go up on the 16th, event logs will go up on the 19th.

Poll #26874 POLL: April Event Decision - Vote before 4/29 at 11:59PM PST
Open to: Access List, detailed results viewable to: Just the Poll Creator, participants: 64

What do we do about the Fisher King?

Leave the Fisher King where he is and allow the Unnamed Marshes to die and the Land of Rot grow over. - Do not enter the Bermuda Station.
4 (6.2%)

Retrieve Fisher King and Imprison him in the Land of Rot
11 (17.2%)

Retrieve the Fisher King and return him to Queen Elphame, as originally intended.
55 (85.9%)

Other (please note that King Arthur does not want him anywhere near Camelot and will order Knights to interfere with plans to do so).
2 (3.1%)



Notes:
  • The 1st item will mean Bermuda Station is never unlocked as a location. It will cause drastic environmental change for the Unnamed Marshes, the Land of Rot, and the destruction of the Forest of the Fisher King.
  • The 2nd and 3rd items will mean that the Unnamed Marshes will remain as-is (but healthier and the creatures who went to fight the Forest of the Fisher King for resources will return home). Both require entering Bermuda Station.
  • You can vote for as few or as many options as you like.
  • If you vote "Other," comment or +1 someone else's existing comment or your "Other" vote will not count.

    Hello everyone! This is Taymod. I've been feeling very under the weather from allergies today too the point that I went home from work. I have not been able to finish writing the event plotting post and while I'm sure I could push something out in the next couple of hours, I thought it better to just delay 1 day instead of produce a subpar or messy event. This is totally my fault for not communicating to the other mods sooner to get a backup plan since I've never had allergies kick my ass this hard before and thought I would recover in time.

    Please accept my apologies and look forward to the event 1 day late. Thank you for understanding.

    Hello everyone!

    After discussion, we have decided that February AC can be turned in until 11:59PM PST on 3/2/2022. (So it would be like having 30 days in the month instead of 28.) Given the late-posted event, war issues that have affected some of our players, and the shorter month period, we have decided this is the fairest solution. Please follow the directions here to turn in your AC if you haven't already.

    Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you.

    Hello! It's your friendly neighborhood Taymod with a poll regarding the recent test drive meme prompts. (For those who are unfamiliar, you cannot post polls from unpaid accounts, which is why I am signed into a character account, but this is an official mod post!) If you haven't given them a look, please at least read through the summaries to get an idea of what is going on. It's fine to handwave your responses. Here are the guidelines for responding to the poll:
  • The poll can be filled out once per active character in Isle of Avalon.

  • Yes, still vote if your character did not participate in each task. You may handwave participation if you didn't have time to thread yet, but if your character IC did not participate, please include that information.

  • If you haven't reached the point in your thread where your character has come across this choice yet, please discuss and plot it out with the person you are threading with ahead of the end of the poll period.

  • If your character does something that isn't covered in the poll responses and you believe it may have an effect on the outcomes of the poll, please let us know in the comments.

  • Everyone should vote in this poll, including new characters. We are having the poll live through 11:59pm PST on Feb. 16th in order to allow for all new applicants to participate. To that end, the OOC plot post won't go up until the 18th. See calendar for more details.

    I can't believe it, my auto-complete subject lines finally let me click repeat subject lines because it's been over a year.

    Announcements for December:
    • There is no AC in the month of December. Please still submit your November AC. If you have December threads, feel free to use them for rewards!
    • December weather in Avalon will be very snowy and cold. There may be a few days of slush. Overall, very wintery weather. The lake will be frozen thick enough to skate across. However, the Red Springs will be closed this month per request of the fairy queen to encourage people to head to Elphame. People are welcome to stay in Camelot if you want them to, but from an OOC standpoint the TDM and event this month will be in Elphame so feel free to use whatever reasoning you need to to shove your character over that way.
    • New arrivals will arrive in Elphame this month, so the TDM prompts will be different than normal! If you missed it, a totem was provided to all characters during the last event to transport them to the Land of Maidens. Setting info for that area will be provided on the TDM, which goes up on the 1st. Totems won't work until then because magic.
    NEW Housekeeping Updates:
    • The new rewards items list is ready, and can be previewed here, but will not be available to claim until December. Do not forget to claim new items by the end of November on the Rewards page. The rewards link will remain the same, we will just update it during the first week of December.
    • Rewards can be claimed the same way as before, but we will be asking a few people interested to beta a new submission form that will check links against AC for us and save everyone time and effort. More details on that coming soon! We're hoping to implement fully by January if the beta test goes well.
    • Added the following irregular events to the calendar page (previously announced): Game-wide HMD, EMP/ATP, and AC-Free month.
    • In addition to the correction of the 5 unique quests stipulation under the Monthly Updates Summary below, we clarified and broke down how to gain titles in the FAQ.
    • Clarifications were made under the Activity section on the Rules page:
      • "The activity submission page is a Google Spreadsheet and linked on the Activity Check page, which can also be accessed via the Navigation. The link is updated each month and previous spreadsheets are archived on the same page." and added the line: "If you have threads that meet the minimum requirements for AC beyond each month's requirement, you can use them to claim bonus activity rewards."

    Monthly Updates Summary:
    • There was an opportunity drawing for our anniversary for paid accounts. The winners were: @prickly_bloom (6mo. premium), @angel_of_death (1mo. paid), and @eightfoldfiend (1mo. paid). The accounts were sent today.
    • We realized that during one of the previous updates moving around the rewards info, the stipulation that titles must be gained via 5 unique quests had accidentally gotten lost. It has been added back. We apologize for the confusion.

    Upcoming Updates:
    • Locations page reorganization
    • Rewards page layout update (pending for December)
