Housekeeping & Additional Announcements
/posts a million times today
Extra announcements and housekeeping! There will be another post sometime this week re: applications and placements. I assure you that I am doing more writing here than I am doing for my degree . . .
✿ Gokudera is now an op in the #aather IRC chan, due to the fact that AJ and I both have work and school that prevents us from being on IRC as much as we were in the summer. This is basically so that if there are any problems with spammers or . . . I don't know, sudden topic-ing needs, there is a greater chance of someone being around to deal with it. ♥
✿ We are working on trying to streamline the network sidebar and general navigation of Aather since more and more information is accumulating. If you have particular trouble finding some sort of information you're looking for, please let one of us know so that we can try to arrange it more intuitively. This is sort of a constant work in progress.
✿ There is an activity check FAQ here! If you have any questions or concerns that are not addressed there, please email us, but hopefully this will clarify some vagueness or uncertainty that anybody had re: activity check!
✿ AJ & Zazzle's schedules are now becoming super tight with work and school! We still do want people to contact us with whatever concerns you have and not worry about bothering us! But please try to direct them mainly to the mod email for the time being as opposed to IRC/gchat. There may also be slight delays in responses since our schedules are not exactly compatible with each other, and we typically prefer to talk over everything before either of us replies. Just as a heads up!
Good Ends:
✿ The completed registry/good ends policy has been revised! Please take a look here. Notably, a section about good ending with an incomplete registry has been added. We are still in discussion, as always, about the different options available for good ends, so if you have a particular opinion or suggestion or concern, or if there are queries about the current options, please hit up AJ.
✿ The "Aather is now your home" option that is currently locked should be open by early November at the latest. If you are waiting for this option but are ready to good end now, you can take the option that "your character has technically "left play" but remains in Aather" that is currently available and transfer to the new option when it is available!
✿ With either of these options, characters will be removed from playing inaather. This is largely to keep the day-to-day interactions between characters, fallouts from games, plot and expansion, etc, to a manageable size and pace. While we have considered the possibility of creating an "extra team" to hang around without participating in games/taking up team slots, it does still contribute to the overall number of people in the world and may be too claustrophobic. Instead:
✿ The communitylifeafterfred has been made! It is not currently functional, but we will be working on building it over the next month. This community is where people who have "good ended" or whatever can do day-in-the-life stuff while living elsewhere in Aather as long and as much as they want. People playing here may be drawn into aather for special events: we are looking into doing these as often as once an OOC month (which is a little over the average IC week). These will be "IC canon" for Aather, but essentially temporary visiting hours. Of course, you can backdate extensively, so there will be some degree of flexibility here.
✿ There will be more about alumni events, good ends, etc later, as we are really just building this up based on player input. Nothing is essentially set in stone, and if you want to make a decision now and change it later based on new options being available, we will totally work with that. That said, if you do have an idea or something you would like to see, please email us with your suggestions!
That's all for now! ♥ Please drop us a line (aather.mods@gmail.com) if there are any questions/concerns!
