dig you out

welcome to the tumblr for dig you out, an upcoming jcink modern royalty site set in the fictional country of montepietro. #dyorp

[dyorp]

im not trying to be rude or give destructive criticism... and im only speaking from my own experience. i grew very excited about the site but now i feel my excitement fading away and if it opened a week from now i dont know if would still join and i believe im not the only one. im not saying for you to cancel the site or not open but to find a way to get people worked up again, excited, posted in the tag because i barely remember this still exists :/// im sorry if this hurts anyone,

no, i understand.

we will be putting this on an a hold. i do hope to go back to this site in the future, but as of right now we are going to go into a pause.

if/when we bring this back, we really hope everyone will come back for it and i'm very sorry that this all happened

Hey! Just wondering if you guys are still opening?

we are!!! i (taylor) messed up the coding really badly, and my coding mods are busy with the holidays (of course they are, it's the holidays!!) and so we're just sort of on a pause rn but i promise we're still opening (:

hey guys, we promise the site will open as soon as we can!! but while y'all wait, here's the app code so you can get started writing our your characters!

again, please don't lose faith- i (taylor) messed up and i hope that it doesn't mean y'all get bored of waiting!!

click here for the pastebin!!!

are you going to announce the winners of the contest and release the app codes? :)

Because of me (Taylor) having messed up a bit of the site, we are extending the contest til Friday. The site now isn't ready to open and as soon as it is, we will.

this might be a completely dumb question, but what's the main language of montepietro? italian?

that is a great question! the main languages are italian and english. the official language of the country is italian, but both languages are taught in classrooms. so if your character was born and raised in montepietro, they are more than likely bilingual (if not fluent in both, they know enough to speak/write it)

due to taylor (me) being an all around idiot, we are going to have to push back the opening until sometime either this weekend, or early next week. we will be releasing the application code soon so you can get started on writing your applications!

i'm so sorry for this, but things happen and i hope you don't give up on the site just because we have to postpone it for just a day or two more!!

[dyorp]

i know- the moment y'all have been waiting for: time to announce when we will officially open!!!

we will be opening our gates on wednesday, december 17th at 12pm cst! (10am pst/1pm est/6pm gmt). we will be releasing the application code sometime today or tomorrow so you can get a head start on your application!!

the montepietro contest will end tomorrow at 8pm cst so get those entries in there quick!!

thank y'all so much for your patience and dedication to this- i can't wait to see y'all on the site!!

i'm not sure whether this has been asked yet, so, what is the app going to be like?

we haven’t finalized it, but i do believe the app is going to double as your shipper! 

it will have a few sections to it, standard sections of personality, history, and a section for you to fill out that relates to plotting.

and, because this is something i do, bullet points are acceptable for any/every section!! i know this is sometimes easier for people, and as long as we get a clear read of your character then you’re good to go!!

we will be releasing the app code a day or so before the site opens!

[dyorp]

is there a specific island that you guys are using as inspiration (elba, murano, capri, sardinia, etc) for graphics?

we haven’t discussed it, but something like capri!!! but at this point, we’ll take any creative outlook on it (:

[dyorp]

alright guys- we're so close to finishing it's insane! just have to finish up a couple of things and we'll be able to tell you when we'll open the site. in the mean time, we have one last contest! what can you win, you may ask? two people will early access to the site!!! 

the contest will be until monday night (specific time will be announced later today), 

we love seeing your character work, but now we want to see how your use your creativity about the country!

submit a moodboard, summary, whatever you feel about the country of montepietro! the country is an island off of the coast of italy, and we want to see how you view it!

nothing is off limits, and any sort of entry is accepted! just tag it "dyorp: montepietro".

hang tight kiddos, more info about application and site opening is just around the corner (:

just a quick note:

while we are very thrilled at all of the diversity we are seeing, we would like to remind everyone to be considerate about your playby's ethnic origins when creating a character. do just a bit of research to ensure that you are properly building and deciding where your character's origins are! if you ever have any questions, please send us an ask and we'll be happy to help you out!
