Unrivaled OOC

ACTIVITY CHECK

This is the activity check for September, 2017. Comment below with your player handle, and the names and journal names of the characters you are still playing and intend to keep playing. You have until October 11th* to check in. Players who fail to check in by that date at midnight GMT will be removed from the game. Characters who have been accepted within the last week do not need to check in, unless they want to.

*We realize this went up late so we're giving an extra day!

This is the Unrivaled's first AC-checkin, so we'll be a bit more lenient than usual to allow people to get used to the format. Plus, it's only been two months since game start so a lot of pacing and habit haven't been established yet. In the future, we will be monitoring check-ins for squatting.

We just wanted to thank everyone for a great kick-off to The Unrivaled! The opening log is still going strong, it's wonderful to see. We hope everyone is having a lot of fun and making plans for the future.

We also have our first Musou Mirror post, thanks Mags! The network comm is open for use, and if you would like to create your own logs for the log comm, feel free. Not everything is going to be mod-controlled - after all, this is your sandbox to play in. Network posts may include an action option for those in the same location (e.g. "action for anyone in the camp right now").

Plot-wise, characters will have learned (if they asked around) that the main camp is safe from threat but no magic or powers can be used inside it, the boundary ends at the gates; that the two largest cities/fortresses accessible are Xuchang (headquarters of Wei) and Chengdu (headquarters of Shu); that hundreds of high-ranking officers, generals, and lords are missing; and that this sort of thing has happened before, namely at the beginning of WO3 when locations from (OOCly) Bladestorm, Dead or Alive, Atelier, and other games suddenly appeared alongside existing lands. It should be noted that while Zhao Yun and Cao Pi are PCs, by virtue of being apped as "native" to the setting they were given this information to spread to anyone who asks.

If your character is already planning to gear up and travel to find out what else is out there in the world, feel free to drop the mods a line (on our contact post or a PM to this journal) if you'd like to know what they'll find in a certain direction. This will include special plot and setting info!

Finally, some OOC housekeeping: if you haven't gotten your information up on the Taken or Contact pages, let us know and we'll make sure everything is correct. Likewise, we've been adding tags to the log comm but not the mirror comm yet - if we're missing any, let us know.

We've been taking a break from inundating ads and promotions, but will resume sometime this week in order to put feelers out for potential new players.

A new Test Drive Meme will go up on the 24th so that people used to app cycles can get a fresh one to jump on. We'll make an announcement on Plurk when it's up.

And finally, don't forget the CR Meme! It's a quick and handy way to drop in and start plotting with people, now that everyone's been introduced. CR memes, like AC, will be every other month so check in on them regularly.

That should cover everything, but if you have any questions, leave a comment below!

CR MEME

This is the CR meme for game-opening! Every other month, The Unrivaled will put up a fresh CR meme so newcomers can start plotting, so check back frequently to see who's new and who's looking for a party. The form below is to help you get some info out there about your character, but feel free to make it up if that’s how you roll.

Hello!

We've been consulting with prospective players and have decided to push back the game opening to August 1, 2017. This is to give people who are busy with summer trips and conventions more time to put their apps together/decide who to test drive, as well as to accommodate all the players who may be searching for a new game once several others close over the next few months. We want new players to feel like they have time to dedicate to their endgames without being pressured to app to a new one right away.

The Test Drive Meme is still active and will be open through game start for everyone's use. Apps will be perpetually open, we do not plan to close and then re-open them. An app put in in advance of the game start will be honored in full.

Thank you for your interest in The Unrivaled, and we hope that we see you August 1, if not before!

Questions/comments? Feel free to use this post.

TEST DRIVE MEME

Welcome to The Unrivaled's Pre-Game Test Drive Meme! We're putting one up before determining an opening date to allow people to play with the setting and decide if they want to join in the first app round. Please enjoy yourself, and if you have any questions or concerns, drop a line to musoumods or unrivaledmods. Remember, threads over 10 comments can be used as the sample on the application.

Apps are not yet open and a game opening date will be announced when we have some final coding in place. Need to brush up on the setting? We have worldbuild and game info.
