#deck update

[deckspair]

Bon voyage! 18 of the luckiest -- and most talented -- teenagers are off to set sail for the undersea adventure on the Posidonias Atlantica. What will they find in the ocean’s depths? Mystery? Mayhem? Mischief? Money???  Whatever it is, it’s guaranteed to be a voyage of a lifetime. Literally. Curious? Come aboard to meet the students here.

Pre-Roster Announcement

Roster Drop is coming soon, and we’d like to take the time to say a few things: 

First, we were blown away by the amount and quality of the applicatiosn we received. Unfortunately, we couldn’t accept everyone into the final roster. A lot of factors played into the choosing of the roster from character diversity to cast balance to blacklist conflicts to fit with the overarching plot, so if you weren’t selected, please don’t be discouraged. There are plenty of other RPs out there and new ones appearing all the time, and we wish you luck in your future applications and games! 

 Secondly, we understand that experiencing disappointment is inevitable when it comes to a Roster Drop. Regardless, any rude behavior, passive aggressive comments, guilt tripping, or anger towards the mods or accepted players is unacceptable. If you contact us to complain or demand to be on the roster then you will be blocked and banned without hesitation. Be mature and don’t blame others. 

 However, if you have genuine questions about your application, feel free to contact Mod Mints (@junko#0485) by 5/17, 11:59 PM EST for a brief discussion and their thoughts on your application. If their response isn’t to your liking and you take it out on the mods or players, then you, too, will be banned from the official server. 

 Thank you for your time! Again, good luck. We hope you’re just as excited for the roster to drop and DECK to kick off as we are.

Roster Drop Date

Hello everyone!

The exact date and time for the Roster Drop Date will be... 

May 15th at 7 PM EST. 

We will be DMing those who are accepted into the roster with a server link once the lineup is released. If you would like to spectate and are not accepted, simply DM a mod, and we will get back to you. Understand that we will be prioritizing the players' blacklists and invites during that time. 

Thank you again! We hope you enjoy being a part of the Posidonias Atlantica research trip.

We’d like to remind all of you that Roster Drop is in about a week! The roster will be posted on the blog at 7 PM EST on May 15.

On the day of the Roster Drop, we will also be deleting the hopefuls server in the hour leading up to the drop! If you’d like to archive any messages, now’s the time to do so.

Lastly, our Mastermind has been contacted. We appreciated and were impressed by all the MM applications we received, but if you have not yet been contacted by us regarding the MM position, then you were unfortunately not chosen for the role.

But don’t give up hope since the roster has yet to be released, and you might still be on that!

Best of luck to everyone.

Spectators Welcome!

The Posidonias Atlantica is set to embark on an utterly unique, fun-packed, and super safe voyage through the oceans in two weeks time. With a cast of 18 students, 2 robots, and 1 high-tech submersible, what could go wrong?

Nothing! That’s what! The liability waver is just extra insurance! It’s smooth sailing from here on out!!!

If you’re interested in watching the journey unfold from first-class, front-row seats, then contact Mod Los (TyphoonMoon#3862), Mod Mints (junko#0485), or this blog for a link to the DECK server.

Alternate Flowers

On the Player Application, OCs are required to have a flower representing them. Due to the potential of overlap in flowers between unique OCs, please contact us with 2-3 alternate flowers and which OC they correspond to. 

As of current, we have added to the Hopeful’s List small carrots ( ^ ) to submitted OC’s to denote who’s alternate flower choices we’ve received.

If you have sent us your picks and explanations but do not see them marked on our list, please resend or personally DM a mod.

There will be more news in the future.  Thank you!
