**MOD POST**
Hellooo new players! Welcome to High Seas!! We've got some announcements to make, BUT FIRST.
A few housekeeping items:
♦ Both the Taken Characters and Player Contacts pages have been updated! If you haven't commented on either of those yet, please do so! Also, if there's a mistake anywhere or if someone was accidentally missed, let us know!
♦ ALL CHARACTERS IN THE GAME SHOULD HAVE A TAG! Please use these anytime you create or comment on a post inpiratejournal and high_seas! This will make it much easier for YOU if you ever want to go back and find a post your character tagged into! If your character doesn't have a tag, let a mod know and we'll create one ASAP.
♦ For the sake of clarity and making things easier to read, allpiratejournal posts should be marked with some version of [WRITTEN] or [VOICE]. Just stick it in the subject line of your posts/comments. This way we know exactly how your characters are communicating with each other! Also, please remember that those are the only two methods of communication the journal has! They DO NOT have video!
♦ New players, remember that we have the Island Registry that you can use once you set sail, as well as the Ship Registry/Crews post. As your characters join crews or form their own, make sure you keep us updated with who is where!
♦ We've combined the CR & Friending Memes this month, so you guys can go check that out. We'll give everyone a few more days to get sorted and then throw up the Looking For Crew Meme, too!
Moving on...
ACTIVITY CHECK CHANGES
Alright, so we're going to revamp this a bit. Honestly, when this game was first being discussed and created, we never anticipated that we would have so many characters! And so quickly!! You guys are crazy.
And awesome. ♥
But anyway, we're fully aware that 100+piratejournal entries is a lot to read through in one month, and it's possible that number will only grow.
SO.
We are going to switch over to a Bimonthly Activity Check. The new requirements will be:
YOU'RE WELCOME.
This is not going to go into effect immediately. AC will still run as usual for October! Here's how it will go:
September newbies: You guys had a free pass last month, so one post + one other is still required by the end of October to pass AC!
October newbies: The one post requirement can be waived for you all, but we're still asking for one other!
November newbies: Well, obviously there are none yet, but starting in November we will switch over to Bimonthly AC, as in every two months you will need one post + two others.
December newbies: Any characters coming in halfway between Activity Checks will just need their two others! The one post required will be waived.
This means there will not be an Activity Check at the end of November. Rather, the next one after October will be DECEMBER. And then February, April, June, August, October again, etc etc.
Hopefully that makes sense!! The Activity Check page has been updated to reflect these changes. Feel free to spread the word! And if you have any questions, please ask!
OCTOBER EVENTS
Oh ho ho, we've got some fun things planned for this month... One mini event, maybe a shard or two to find, but the BIG event to watch out for will be hinted at in-game starting next week.
Halloween wouldn't be complete without some ghost ships sailing the seas, right?
Look for a more detailed Event Post to go up toward the end of the week!
Till next time!
