 Hi guys! I'm gonna be gone on vacation for about a week starting tonight, so I'm probably going be pretty sparse RP-wise for a while. I'll tag when I can, but chances are there will be a couple of days between some of my replies. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be gone long enough to warrant in-character reasons for Stan being gone or anything. Just assume he's up to his usual business. SEE Y'ALL LATER.

(Also if you want to get in touch with me, I put some extra contact info in that friending meme post.)

Two things!

☆ Reminder to do your AC if you apped in May

☆ Event end for this month should be happening sometime this weekend! (Time yet to be decided.) The Griffon was around... being a Griffon. Like any other animal, really, except it seems even better than a dog at sensing what you feel like.

OOC event proposal: Cosmographia Plays Attack the Light!

[magistermentium]

Hello all! Your friendly neighborhood ToraNova here with a proposition for an OOC event! Obviously we already have player-run IC events in Cosmos, such as Pearl's monster transformation, so here's an idea for something fun we could do together as a community that isn't necessarily RP related! And that is...



... in the style of "Twitch Plays Pokemon," more or less.

For anyone who might not know, Attack the Light is a Paper Mario-style RPG for iOS and Android based on the same thing our game is based on - Steven Universe! And even though it's a mobile game, I have a way to play it on my PC, which means I can also live stream it... but then I thought, instead of just watching me play it, why don't we all play it together?!
Here's how it would work: The moderator (that'd be me) streams the game while the viewers (that's you guys!) tell me what to do via the stream chat! When exploring a dungeon, you tell me which direction to go. When in battle, you tell me what attacks/items to use. When a character levels up, you tell me which of their stats to upgrade. And so on!
Of course, there is a very slight lag between the person streaming and the chat, but it's not so much where I think we can't work around it. If anything, it might make things more fun, heheheh~

So who would be up for attacking the light!? If there's enough interest to make it happen, I think it would be best to do it as an ongoing thing all day one day on a weekend, to ideally get through the whole game! It's not a very long game, but it would take several hours at least, so everyone would be free to come and go at their leisure! Originally I thought possibly this weekend but then I remembered it's a holiday (at least in the US) so a lot of people might be out of town or busy.
Instead I'm thinking either Saturday, July 11th or Sunday, July 12th tentatively. Being a week and a half away, this should also give people enough time to plan for it and mark it in their calendars. I just need to know from you guys which day would be better, the 11th or the 12th, or if you'd rather have it be on a different day. After that we can work out a specific starting time!

Lend me your thoughts, fellow Gems! Thanks!! <3
