First things first, we want to thank everyone for recording your preference and feedback on the game poll. Your input has been incredibly helpful in helping us shape our plans for the future of VACANCYRP. After lengthy discussion this evening, the admin team has put together a plan for what’s to come for our little game.
This is a long read, but it outlines the what’s what re: the status of the game.
We will be placing the game on hiatus until the New Year. This will give everyone a chance to enjoy the rest of the winter break, and provide us with time to recalibrate the game.
We will be reopening the game on Thursday, January 4th, 2018.
A game-wide event will kick things off when we reopen.
All character interactions will be on hold. (You may still plot off the dash!)
Current members will be permitted to hold onto their roles/face claims.
During this transition, you will be allowed to:
Change your character’s face claim;
Make any edits to your character’s story, including retconning anything that’s happened since you first joined, changing their backstory, etc.
Players with one character may swap out their muse for someone new, and players with multiple characters can drop secondary character(s) if they’d like.
The ask will reopen for new applications from current and new members on January 4th.
Upon reopening, we will require everyone to repost their character intros.
If you have changed any aspects of your character, please make the appropriate edits to the original intro.
If nothing has changed, you are welcome to simply repost it. (Please don’t reblog!)
We will go over this again when we reopen.
The rules will be updated and fine-tuned prior to opening to reflect necessary changes (with the feedback that has been shared with us).
We will be introducing new locations, as well as new job roles at the motel and diner.
WHAT IS STAYING THE SAME?
The setting and plot will not be changing.
Character limits and activity rules will not change, and it will be business as usual in enforcing them when the game returns.
The Strike System will remain in place, but will be more carefully enforced.
Additional information is forthcoming with the reopening in the New Year.
Thank you again for being a lovely bunch of players. We hope that this reopening in the New Year will be a bigger benefit to the game as a whole, as well as your roleplaying experience.
If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
