DECEMBER NOT-BULLETIN

► HERE WE GO

Hey, y'all. This is gonna be brief since I've gotta be up in like 4 hours for class, but I wanted to bang this out since (as you'll see in a bit) there are two (2) posts going up tomorrow already.

① POLL RESULTS

So nine of y'all responded to the poll I tossed up a little under two weeks ago, and here's where we've landed:


• We will be switching to events every other month instead of events every month! This was unanimous, and honestly, I'm pretty psyched about it too. As such, the event I've alluded to Mel guest-modding in February will now occur in March, and event months will generally continue to be the odd-numbered months.


• What should occur in non-event months, on the other hand, was all across the board - votes were basically even in 'very small non-infopost events', 'non-event parties/mingles', and 'literally nothing'. In looking at these results, I think what's going to happen is playing it by ear. For now, non-event months will still contain a small, brief Dangerous Happening or a harmless party/mingle. If this turns out to still feel too fast, I'll start tossing in months with literally nothing. Event months, meanwhile, will no longer include smaller bonus events like a couple of them have. It'll be Just The One Thing.


• As for the January flashback event, we ended up with five votes for 'yes' in some shape or form, two for 'do not want', and two for 'no preference'. Based on this, I think we will be doing the flashback event as generally detailed in the poll post (linked above). Those of y'all who voted 'no' are welcome to say that ~due to some fluke~ your characters are awake while everyone else is 'asleep' for maintenance, or you can handwave that time period. A post will go up about it when we get closer. It'll be fine.


• Some feedback mentioned leaving room for player plots, so I did want to say that if anyone has a player plot they want to run but don't have characters who could inflict that plot, hit me up and I'll lend you the Technicians to wreak some havoc.


• This also means that our open application month will occur either in February entirely or will begin much later in January. I'm gonna feel it out and see how it goes.

② DECEMBER RESOURCES

Check out Foodland this December and you'll find:


• Wrapping paper in various colors and patterns! Some are Christmas-related, some are very much... not that.
• Ice skates in various sizes! Most are hideous, though. Think: The awful neons of bowling shoes.
• Children's books about Santa Claus and the story of Christmas. Possibly also the baby Jesus version, but that one's hidden behind all the Santa. These now overwhelm Foodland's meager book section.
• Ugly Christmas sweaters! Or ugly sweaters in general. Go nuts.
• November's thicker jackets and bear mace remain.

The gas station continues to be boarded up, though the pickings weren't great there lately anyway.

③ UPCOMING THINGS

So since it's officially the 9th, you can expect two things in approximately the next 24 hours:


• The December Catch-All. Y'know, the one that was supposed to go up on the 1st? That legit just slipped right past me. Somebody yodel at me if it happens again.


• The Merry Shitscram network post, where the Technicians open up the floor for characters to ICly make wishes (within reason) and have them granted. I initially said that gifts would be granted sometime within the week, but because I want to be realistic and make sure I have time to get to everyone's before the gifts would ICly be received (and also to give y'all more of a window to actually reply to it), the new gift delivery date is December 20th.

That's it! Goodnight.

hello!! what would happen if, say, a character were to try and tear down the boards around the gas station? inquiring minds want to know.....

[vestigemods]

Sorry this took literally forever!

The boards would be especially hard to tear down, but when she does unseal one, a hot humidity wafts out of the dark inside. Inside, thanks to the combo of the closed-off/contained (still heated) environment and the fuckery from the visitors in November, it seems to be a spore-filled hotbed of fungi. What do they do? Hard to say without getting a little closer :')
