AUGUST AC & UPDATES

ACTIVITY CHECK | ARHA | TARAVAST, QUESTS & EVENTS | GAME CHAT? | BADGES



activity check; )

arha afoot! )

OTHER ADMIN


  • Most of the August calendar remains subject to update once Arc II has been set up, but you can find loose indications here. The calendar will be updated, likely next week.

  • The location setup for Arc II, “team” and identity assignments and a small event will go up 6-8 August. Thank you for everyone's help with assignments — now no longer taking input.

  • Some characters will receive individual quests/aftermath instructions, following on mod talks or events in Arc I and the Stairs of Sighs. At this time, they are Five, Archeval and Eleven. Two other characters are slated for optional quests based on Taravast’s setup — Zhou Zishu and Wen Qing. Their agendas haven’t been forgotten, and all that info will be laid out when we hit Taravast. Bear with me!

  • If there is a longer-term character arc that you want to work on and need some environmental or mod help with, hit up the player suggestions area!

  • Moving forward, the Story So Far page will (hopefully) be updated with summaries on a monthly basis, to help our newcomers.

  • Lastly, given the clue and plot-oriented nature of Eastbound, some folks have asked about a potential game Discord chat. While I’d be happy to set one up, I’m not currently in a place where I could actively moderate a chatroom — if you have thoughts on how we could go about making a non-mod-led one happen (or if you feel one is needed to begin with), happy to hear them!

    TRAIN-CRASHING NEAR YOU


    Heya, bonjour, think of Bastille! This post will serve as the main plotting and Q&A hub for our recent event and test drive meme (TDM).

    Feel free to make a plotting comment, if you want — and to flag if you're playing a TDM participant or an existing character in the comment title, to help with precious, beautiful organisation.

    For any general questions, you have the following main threads for:
  • TEST DRIVE QUESTIONS

  • EXISTING CHARACTERS

  • THE COMMON TIMELINE


  • Thanks so much and enjoy!

    Hi folks! A bit of admin, just shy of May the Fourth being with us —

    i. No April activity check this round for characters accepted during the late March / early April cycle. Psssst. That's all of you.

    ii. Applications open on 00:01 GMT @ 3 May, lasting until 23:59 GMT @ 9 May. They will be handled on a rolling basis.

    iii. Have a look at the character interest list, and consider dropping your name in, if you're pretty sure you want to app something — like test driving, this is not mandatory, but helps me figure out how many applications to expect in.

    iv. A wild May calendar has appeared! The April schedule has been archived here. Sign-ups for the world's worst meeting drinking game are here!

    We're trying posting a full-month calendar again, but we might move to two instalments covering 1h and 2h of the month, if that suits us better in the end. Let's see.

    You may now all return to your regular plotting schedules.

    The Imperious and her delicious cargo are slowly creep-creeping their way to the icy port citadel of Sa-Hareth, leaving a narrow opportunity for the Archeval-led rescue mission of incoming captives .

    To keep things tidy, everyone’s welcome to ask general event questions or specific test-drive meme ones, and to chatter about the fate of the Imperious. Remember: actions have consequences, and sinking the boat too close to the port could congest naval traffic for the foreseeable future.

    Test-driving players: Eastbound’s so far survived on locust-style enthusiasm for out-of-the-box plotting, so don’t be afraid to pitch plots or ask tangential questions. The general guideline is that as long as you don’t break the sandbox, you don’t need mod permission, and you can check out the locations page if you need a map or general grasp of Sa-Hareth.

    Hydrate & have fun, now with zombie mermaids!

    Hi guys! We've officially closed our first application session, with just one prospective late entry still due in! There've been some awesome new posts on the OOC mingle and the open log, and even our first and second network posts!

    A couple of things on the admin side: the event calendar has been updated for April!

    A lot of these events are tentative and timing or content can be adjusted depending on what characters plot independently. None of these events are mandatory. Generally, just pick and choose what you want to play with! If you want to start a plot or toss ideas around, posting on the OOC community to rally interest is the best way to go.

    Separately, there is now also a world sky chart on the Locations page.

    Other than that — any big change to the plot developments will be noted in fresh OOC or NPC entries.

    eta: there is now a bank heist plotting thread!

    Thanks!

    Bright and early, wakey-wakey.

    Wherever, whatever, however, whenever, whoever you were doing — is officially on PAUSE.

    It’s a rush job, but don’t blame the getaway drivers — the intrepid rescue teams that are liberating you from hard chain and wall strappings still have dozens like you to release, one at a time. Poppy-drugged and haze-minded, some running wound fevers, you only earn bare-bone instructions after rose quartz necklace is thrust in your hand. This slip of nothing will allow you to grasp foreign speech for two days while you wear it:

    "You are in west-northern province city Sa-Hareth. You were brought to serve warlord Unhalad. He will kill you for your strength. He has killed — see the many bones beside you — countless of your kind before. Be at the House of Dew within the fortnight, in the Merchant Arena. That way. Go east."

    Characters are rescued from one of two locations. They have all been warded, stripping them of access to their native magic or spiritual and physical weapons. Characters with superior strength or physical prowess have been sedated. These effects will wear off gradually in 72 hours. Pick your path & poison:

    And here we go! )

    THE OOC LAUNDRY LIST
  • Intro post for all newcomers!
  • Sa-Hareth arrival log
  • Event questions for the mod
  • Salt mines route sign-ups | Old jailhouse route sign-ups
