[@Ariamis][@AimeChambers][@Aewin][@addamas][@Pudding][@FantasyChic][@AimeChambers][@Melo][@Mateotis][@Vocab][@Brithwyr][@Spriggs27][@ThatCharacter] Announcement time! Alright, I wanted to do this a week or so ago when the first IC post was officially a month old. But it got pushed back by me losing track of time, and things looking a little too slow. But I get it now, this RP is like an indie car circuit with a traffic light in it. Stop, turbo, stop, turbo, stop, turbo... So just a few things I wanted to go over with everyone just to keep them in the loop. Firstly, Mason Brady is likely going to get written out of the RP. Katakon has had every opportunity to contact me, and it's evident they either aren't interested anymore or can't participate because of serious IRL stuff. Either way, they log in, they don't say anything, and then just disappear. Until I write them out, Mason Brady is officially becoming an NPC. I don't advise using them much unless you feel it's necessary, and if you do, try to keep them in character. Next, I just wanted to say I'm really happy to see communication is getting better. Ariamis announcing which posters they're waiting on when things slow down is always appreciated, and more recently how the crew initiated OOC how to most effectively get Ice to a place where he could actually wake up. And Mateotis letting everyone know that they were going to be busy this week was also a plus. (that post was fine, btw!) Simple acts like this make my despair eroded heart glow like a hot ember. I hope we can keep this up. Also, I've been thinking about class trials a little bit more. Originally I wanted everything to come out IC, but I'm starting to wonder if things would be less messy if I let people figure things out OOC and then let the IC posts reflect the discoveries made in the OOC instead. I'm suggesting this because I know some of you have made characters that aren't especially worldly, but you still might enjoy trying to figure out whodun it and howtheydun it. Just an idea I'm playing around with to discuss. And that's really it. As always, if you need any direction or help, I'm just a PM or mention away. Everyone else has been willing to help me out too!
