UPDATES AND SETTING INTERACTIONS POST

This post is here to are here to

inform everyone about the current state of things
provide a space to ask questions about interactions with the setting and plot
offer a venue where players can plot with the mods so that together we can make Save Our Earth as interactive as possible. Plot that has not yet happened is malleable; if player characters interact with it, it may just steer in a different direction from what the mods expected.

Please direct all questions, suggestions and anything else addressed to the mods to toplevel titled "Talk to a Mod" and not to the post in general.

The post is also open for players to plot and coordinate between one another.

General/OOC notes:

As everyone might have noticed, things have been slow. Due to this, there was no AC this month. People who would have made Double or Triple AC can get their tokens next AC. Due to the lack of AC, there is no plot digest this month; it will be delivered after the next AC. After all, the plot digest relies heavily on what players report in AC about the things that their characters did during the month.
Opinions wanted! What do you, the players, think about a small mingle going up whenever a new character is apped that centres around something connected to the new character? With the current size of the game, that should be entirely possible, and it would add fun little (mostly) SoL mingles in between the main mingles that will get increasingly connected to plot from here on.
In the event preview below, we'll mark events that will come with a mingle with "«mingle»". Everything else is there as information and inspiration for players' plotting or logs, but won't be given a dedicated mingle.

Events that are currently occurring or will be occurring in the immediate future:

The controlled detonation from the bomb damaged the roof of the town museum, and a fundraiser is started to foot the repairs. The museum also uses this fundraiser as a chance for general outreach and puts out the word that really, almost anyone can volunteer there and work as a guide or ticket seller or... don't you want to volunteer?
The weather is sunny with clouds and has settled solidly into the mid-ten degrees Celsius. In the mornings, fog rises thickly up from the river and into the streets of Mossgate and the villages.
«mingle» Pinewood Studios is looking for extras for some seafront scenes of a 19th century drama they're going to film in front of the white cliffs. They've put out a casting call and will be casting locals throughout October.
«mingle» Halloween has come to town... and someone has taken a clue from the shops and everything that can be observed around this date. So there will be some surprises happening to everyone on the morning of the 31st.
«mingle» Remember, Remember, the 5th of November... Though actually, the big bonfire on the Greens will take place on the 3rd, because school kids staying up late can't happen when they have school the next day. The bonfire on the Greens is accompanied by great fireworks. It's not the biggest bonfire in Mossgated Council, though, oh no.

The biggest bonfires can be found in Folkton and Moss Manor, which have for many years tried to outdo each other in who can have the bigger bonfire. They actually do take place on the fifth, because it's much more important to show those tossers than for little Billy to not be tired in school the next morning.

Unfortunately, all three bonfires don't go as smoothly as they should this year. In what way depends on some threads that are still pending. Due to these threads and Halloween taking place shortly before Bonfire Night, the Bonfire Night Mingle will likely go up a bit later than the date demands.

Potential Plot Echo Opportunities

TBA.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Questions, suggestions, and everything else goes here! Don't hesitate to come back to this toplevel throughout all of August if a new question/anything else "plot" related crops up.

Please also tell us here what your opinion on the welcome mingles is!

Sam is investigating the bomb with Sadie as backup, if any mods want to pop in over there and let me know what he'll find (or just summarize here and I'll write it out as necessary, either way).

Also I like the idea of a mingle for new characters! Since we are so small, that'll give us all a chance to meet the new character, plus give them means for building CR immediately without having to come up with an open log of their own or find somewhere else to slip in :)

Done! I'll try to drop back into that thread every once in a while, but if I don't, please feel free to prod me again when you need input.

And noted!

Not actually relevant with this muse, but; if a character would physically have been present when their universe ended, would they ever be able to regain those memories?

And overall, I'd say the mingles are a good idea as well - though if more than one character is approved at one time, should they have the same mingle with separate prompts, or separate mingles?

No! There are plot reasons for this, but nobody would be able to echo the end of their timeline.

The same mingle, I would say. That just seems more practical, because people only have to keep track of one post instead of two.

Aha! Thank you.

And that's what I was thinking, really. Less clutter!
