This title sounds more scary than it’s meant to--- don’t worry!

The intent with Eden is that each character will play a role with the twists and turns that will occur following the course of the plot. That means I plan to take in a lot of the information regarding characters, and figuring out a way to put that into the plot that is exciting and shocking. 

However, it’s important that I as an admin, and you as players, have an understanding between each other of what this means. These will grow to be your characters, and I want to respect that, along with the journey you have planned for them. But with the trajectory of this plot, it wouldn’t be exciting without twists of turns. Based off your comfort level, you can give me trust and permission to create plot twists that might shock you or your character (this doesn’t mean character death, that isn’t really something I plan for). If there are plot elements or values/goals your character has, that you do not want tampered with, I will respect your wishes completely. This is a fun environment, with a fun mysterious plot with lots of digging. I would like to have opportunities to create shocking twists, however, I wouldn’t want to do that without the comfort of other plays.

A DISCUSSION OF YOUR COMFORT REGARDING YOUR CHARACTER’S PLOT AND ARC IS REQUIRED. No matter if the conversation is short or long, and you have endless questions or none, it’s a conversation I value, and want to have with all members to make sure things are clear and we’re all having a good time.

SO YOU’RE IN THE GROUP, NOW WHAT?

I never fully mentioned how things will play out in this group. Mainly because I was still putting pieces together. Now that they are in place, and we have a group of lovely people to help with bringing this crazy story to life, I wanted to quickly go over what you can expect being part of this group. If you have questions, let me know!

First off, as members, your input will come into play often. I have the plot written out, but I want to include as much of your characters, and their lore into the story as I can. The twists and turns should be shocking and emotional! Because of that, I will be consistently messaging members for information regarding characters stories. However, if this seems uncomfortable for you, you can always opt out for the integrations. I wont give away any of my plans, but discussions will be had.

PLOT DROPS will occur frequently. I want to allow time for plot development as well as character development, so plot drops will likely occur every two or three weeks, or faster depending on plot or request. Typically these plot drops will be written out and posed similar to that of DnD. The information will be presented, and you will be posed with different choices you and your character can take. Different paths lead to different outcomes, and different information. It’s up to you, and what you believe your character would do/value, to make these choices.

Threads in these events will take place and that is mainly for character development. Most plot development will take place off-site (we will talk about that later) doing rapid-fire chats with an NPC to gather information. What you chsoe to do in these scenarios will result in different information being gathered. A note is you can partner with another character, and potentially gather more information. this means another person being included in the rapid-fire chats. At the end, it will be up to you, and again, the values of your character, to then share that information with other characters (sharing with other players is encouraged though, for the funsies!)

These plot drops are completely flexible in their workings, depending on what members want, because we want fun!

Discord is the intended way for most ooc-chatting to go. It’s a lovely platform that can allow for a lot off the scenes. It’s perfect for those rapid-fire plot advancing situations, and we can have a lot of opportunity to grow as a group. Having a strong group bond is important for making Eden last, and we want to see it until the end right? Find out the secrets? Discord is highly recommended, though if enough members aren’t comfortable with it, we can discuss alternatives. However, there will need to be a place for mass communication, since that’s how puzzle pieces are going to get put together here.

Again, I’m here for any questions! I hope you guys are getting excited!

Why hello friends, it’s your friendly neighborhood admins here with a little bit of an update. We have a few members hanging around now, and so that being said, we’d like to start working on getting some things going. So, that being said, if you haven’t submitted your blog, please do so no later than Sunday, 12 June. Once you submit your blog (or if you already have), keep a look out, we’ll be sending out the invites to join the discord over the weekend. 

Also, if we can get a few more apps, we just might look at opening soon. In the mean time, the admins are cookin’ up a few tasks and character development things for you all to work on, just to you know (I hate myself for this), keep the juices flowing.
