ourearth1. Updates
As this game is quite young, there are still some bits and bobs that crop up and need to be adjusted because they only really became apparent with the game running (and anyway, a game is never a finished project). To keep everyone in the loop, this is a quick heads-up about all the larger adjustments that have been done over the last few days.
Below you'll find a list of the most important updates.
2. Pimping
In addition, let me pimp out the locations page's option to add your own places. Have a company, restaurant, school or some other institution or facility that your character attends, volunteers or works at? Use the form at the bottom of the page to tell everyone about it and add it to the cityscape!
3. Feedback please
And since this post is here anyway, I'd like to use it as a feedback post!
So, if anyone has any feedback regarding pace, rules, apps, communication, or whatever else really, please leave it here! Comments are screened - if you'd prefer them unscreened, just make a note in your comment and I will do so.

Below you'll find a list of the most important updates.
- It has been clarified that the word count for applications is a guideline, not a hard rule.
- Explanations regarding what we expects from a first echo, and echo requests in general, have been added. To simply c/p:
Please keep in mind that any echo must be triggered by experiencing something for the first time (unless it is a plot echo). In addition, we always want to hear the answer to three questions: 1. What was echoed? 2. What triggered the echo? 3. Why did it trigger the echo? So: "They echoed [describe memory/item/ability... and say what echo type it is] because they experienced [describe experience] for the first time and that resembled their former life [describe the resemblance that has to have been relevant to whatever is being echoed]." - Staying on the topic of echoes, a rule clarification and a rule update:
1. Echoes can only be caused by experiences that personally affect the character. They must be a visceral experience, something that they care about one reason or the other.
2.
Reoccurrence echoes cannot be gained off-screen. They must happen in a thread or top-level. (Linking to them in the echo request is at this time not mandatory, but super nice :3 ) - A note that the game oocly runs on UTC time has been added to the FAQ.
