Announcements & Team Placements
✿ The activity policy is now in the network sidebar, since we've had a few instances of confusion with some of our policies lately! Nothing has changed, but we've edited it slightly to hopefully make it a little more clear and comprehensive. We have basically been activity checking the exact same way since April, so if you haven't had any issues so far, it's really unlikely that you're going to in the future—but please familiarize yourself with the basics if you haven't already!
✿ As always, check out our placement SURVIVAL STRATEGYyyyy if you have any questions about how we process applications, and feel free to email us at any time with questions, or if you'd like to make a team placement request.
✿ We have made some clarifications and changes regarding loser games due to the sort of vague nature that was previously causing some confusion. The most important thing to note would be that all loser teams that participate are to be awarded memories—this is to avoid the potential problem of . . . well, losing at loser games, which defeats the purpose of ensuring every team a minimum of one memory every several weeks.
Because we would also like loser games to act as a safety net for knights that are struggling with memories, all knights that show up should also be awarded memories. However, (and this goes for regular games too, not just loser games!) we do expect that people who show up for games are able to play in them! We will handwave the issue once or twice, especially if a sudden absence from a game is unexpected (you fell asleep, weren't feeling well, etc), but if this becomes a repeated issue, the mods will speak with the player in question.
Games are meant to facilitate CR and act as the memory reclaiming device, etc. They are also meant to be fun and entertaining! Remember, games work best when people play them, but also remember that they are a game inside of another game (INSIDE OF ANOTHER GAME INSIDE OF THE GAME OF LIFE?!?!) and we are looking to balance fairness and fun for all with logistics and purpose.
Please let us know if there is anything else regarding loser games or the team rankings that needs to be clarified!
✿ Kiriko's game on September 27th will be a loser skill game!
Reim has gone off with Dream. Naoto has been booked.
