Mod Question...

[advancedbosoms]

But I'm on my phone and too lazy to switch to the mod account.

This is just a general survey. Are there any types of events you'd like to see more of in the game? Crack events, temporary alterations like the vet events, small group events like the Dollhouse, choose your own adventures, more metaplot access?

Anything else you'd like to see? Things like the game calendar and contact list have happened because players have noticed things they'd like that the mods don't always think about! Just a general forum for sharing anything that you'd like more of or that you think is missing. We want to make sure you guys are having a good experience. <3

A crack event or two (shrinking, bodyswapping) would not go amiss.

and i tl;dr because i care

[hypospraying]

I'm getting kind of burnt out on crack events, to tell you the truth. Mind-alternating, deaging, turning into an animal, etc. -- almost all games have these events, sometimes multiple times over. Heck, one game I'm in is currently having a deaging event, which I'm not participating in, but a number of my CR is.

I'd prefer more events that move the metaplot along, either with the whole game, or signups with a randomizer to pick people/teams to do stuff. I understand stuff of that nature requires NPCs usually and I wouldn't want to demand too much of your focus on those sort of things, but every few months for such plots wouldn't hurt, would it?

What would "choose your own adventures" be? Is that us making up plots, or more like coming to you guys and saying "I want my character to go on a mission with some people" and you give us a scenario to play out and let us know what the result would be? Because I like the idea of that. Exsilium has a thing where you can sign up with a small group for independent missions back in time, and the mods give you options. Here's their page if you want some ideas. It looks like with the recent mod change that they haven't really started it yet, but it looks promising.

Anyway, the only other thing I can think that needs added (and the game calendar is the best thing ever, thank you) is to add a section in the FAQ saying how you do canon updates, since I'm about to do one soon and I had to ask you guys how one goes about it.

I appreciate the teal deers!

We still definitely want to be a metaplot heavy game. I think part of the thing is that little events that don't seem to matter much now do end up tying into the metaplot (this current event in Thurisaz, for instance, is tying into a volunteer event next week that will reveal some information).

Choose your own adventures would kind of be like those books. "Thurisaz is on fire. Help is immediately needed in the hospital, the town council center, and the weapons factory. Where do you go?" which leads to other choices, etc. The end result is based on the choices characters made. (disclaimer: that was a random example, Thurisaz is not about to go up in flames)

And I will work on adding that to the FAQ this week! Thanks <3

I'm personally a big fan of crack events and advancing the metaplot, if the two could be combined I would be a happy happy girl.

Somewhere where you could request NPC interaction would be good as well. But other than that I love pretty much everything about this game.

On a similar note I take it the dream life plot is on hold/cancelled?

[advancedbosoms]

Definitely not canceled! That actually does tie into the metaplot, but it was my fault for initiating it at a very, very bad time since the game was about to move into Thurisaz. I was not thinking ahead at the time.

It's still happening, it just got delayed :( Sorry about that. It definitely still needs to get done.

I'm going to second what Megan said about metaplot-based events, and while I don't mind a cracky event here and there, too many of them in a row can definitely get tiresome. I'm a little burnt out on them myself because that could be all there was in one of the other games I was in and was part of the reason why I left.

I do like choose your own adventures, though, and small group events.

I really enjoy crack events that help advance character growth or force characters into CR or conversations that they wouldn't normally have. For example, I'd probably prefer a truth serum event over everyone turning into puppies or infants.

I am also all for advancing the metaplot. I like what others have said about getting people to group up on missions. One of my biggest hurdles with Sif sometimes is that she isn't the most socially outgoing character and isn't necessarily going to go around inviting people out to drinks. It's more natural to build CR with her if there's a mission involved -- if it's one that can be tied to advancing the metaplot, all the more awesome.

Also, I just want to say that I really appreciate how welcoming you guys are to new players! This is by far one of the friendliest game intros I've ever had.

[inciting]

I really enjoyed the doll house. I know personalized things like that can be tiring, but I really enjoyed it.

I also don't mind a little crack here and there as long as it doesn't BECOME crack.
