AMA - Ask The Mods Anything

[ourearth]

It's getting closer and closer to opening time! On the 14th of April, the first reincarnation relationship plotting post will go up. On the 22nd of April, reserves will open, and on the first of May the first test drive meme will go up. On the 15th of May applications will open. On the 8th of June, a second test drive meme will go up along with a second relationship plotting post. And then on the 15th of June, the game will open! (As a note, we are still looking for mods, especially app mods who will help us judge applications.)

In the spirit of that, this post is here so you can Ask The Mods Anything!

More specifically, in this post we want to give prospective players the opportunity to ask any questions that they might have about the game or playing in it (you obviously can also use the FAQ or mod contact, but we hope that having this place will lower the threshold of "is this question too unimportant/dumb to bring it to the mods").

Please don't hesitate to ask your questions, no matter how dumb they feel - we want to use this post both to try and clear up all questions players might have and to see if there is anything that crops up often enough or otherwise strikes us as something to address on the game's info pages.

Please make sure to use the toplevel that seems the most appropriate to your question! That'll make it easier for other players to see what has already been asked and answered.

This sounds indeed perfectly doable!

We do indeed prefer gradual shifts, but the extent of just how gradual it is is mostly up to the player (as long as we don't spot a theme of constantly pushing the upper end), and a sudden shift in one personality trait would fall within the margin of what is possible. So if you wish for it to be a sudden shift, that would be possible.

You could still make it a gradual shift though, if you would prefer that: Items can be regained in stages, too (regain the item without the gift, then echo the gift at half-strength, and then echo it at full strength, or something like that).

We would definitely want to see something about the difference in him with and without his courage in his preincarnated personality, and also in the reincarnated personality a bit on how it affected his life that he never received the item granting him courage.

Thank you so much for the prompt response!

I appreciate all the options but I was hoping to play with the sudden shift here because what I really like about it is that those things they wished for that seemed like they should magically fix everything didn't. Suddenly gaining an overabundance of courage does not necessarily solve all your problems. Actually it just gives you different problems. Like being a lot more reckless. Taking too many chances.

And I can assure you it would just be that one trait that was sudden. Everything else would be gradual.

Thank you!
