We are now THESTARHQ and all pages have been updated to reflect the change to roleplay premise outlined in my previous admin post. Other than all labels now being sub-labels/subsidiaries under one main corporation, STAR Labels, and details being updated to reflect that fact, most changes are merely minor or cosmetic. A few questions and answers are included under the cut about small mechanics tweaks. Mainly, I'd suggesting checking out the ABOUT page and its corresponding links, as that's the most need-to-know information about the change.
A few posts will be going up over the next few days; this will include a few overdue posts, as a well as a some writing opportunities and worldbuilding!
I'm incredibly excited to explore the new-but-old world of STAR Labels with you all! Feel free to contact me or send in a revamped application if there's any changes you want to make to your muse under this updated premise. You're welcome to ask any questions you have as well. Our Mod Team Application is still open and has been simplified as well.
To pass next week's activity check, please either meet the regular activity requirements (two qualifying posts) or you can like this post and make one qualifying post.
I'll be doing rolling acceptances if any applications come in for the next week until Sunday, February 11 at 12am KST.
Quick Q&A below the cut for some anticipated questions!
Stat points aren't listed anymore. Are those still a thing?
No, they are not! Booking points are the sole point form now to simplify the process.
Did booking points change?
Not majorly. It's still the same basic system: 1) earn points from activity checks and events/tasks and then 2) redeem a set number of points for a new career item. One point is now earned for each passed activity check and each event prompt or task prompt completed. Consequently, five points is now the set cost of a career item. This allows more regularity and nuance in tracking booking points. I have already converted everyone's points to the new amounts and these can be found on the official admin tracking of booking points here. You don't technically need to track your own, but you're welcome and encouraged to if you want to doublecheck and ensure I don't miss anything.
Do we still need to submit a form to the points blog to earn booking points?
No, you'll only need to submit a form to redeem booking points for a career item. Booking points will be automatically tracked. (If something that should earn you point doesn't show up on the dash, please send a link to the main!)
Are mun-created collectives still a thing?
Not in the format they were before with formal applications. Survey results showed people seem to be more partial to either only canon collectives or having both around, so the formal focus is going to be on canons. It's still possible to have a group such as an idol group, band, or dance crew involved in your muse's past, present, or future that isn't a preset canon, though. The only major limit is that non-canon groups must have been formed and debuted under a non-canon label, if applicable. They can behave signed under a canon label at a later time, debuts are limited to the canons. Beyond that, just list any major activities involving the group on the muse's career page. You can make claims for them, but they'll need to count toward the four moment limit per year (unlike canons' activities). If you would like other muses involved in it, submit a wanted connection form!
Are there any new blogs to follow?
For the most part, everything's just had its name converted, such as The Source now being Star Source. I will ask everyone to follow STAR Labels, which is where company-related content will be posted.
If you have any other questions, send them in and I'll do my best to help you out!
