+1 ROBOT GEM

[cowardsoftware]

Hey Cosmo! I'm Des, I'm new to the game and I'm bringing you an AU of Sonika of VOCALOID fame! (But she spells her name SONiKA to be trendy and cool or something. God knows.)

Actually, she's technically a double-AU, because she's from an AU based on these songs and she's also a CR AU from an old, finished game, jarjammed! ... Except she dropped before it was finished so she's coming in from smack dab in the middle. Please help this poor sap, she thought she was a Homestuck and now this.

Anyway, the basic rundown is she's a robot that was mostly used as an assistant for science, but fell head over heels in love with her user and this ended in just the most awful unhealthy relationship. SONiKA ended it. Violently. (but well, she spared him at the last minute so he probably got better?)

Now in the alpha timeline, she was supposed to run away and go undercover and find a new robot boyfriend to be less horrible with. But nope, didn't happen. Instead, she fled the whole dang earth via a video game called Sburb.... but a hacked, glitchy version that was grabbing people from all over the multiverse. And now she's here with nothing left to show of it! Very slippery business.

But the point, clearly, is that she's still single!!! So for a good time, call her CR meme post!

... Or you could just hit it up for normal CR. You know. Either way, it's nice to meet you all!

Mod Apps and Changes

[cosmods]

Happy Sunday to you, Cosmographia. We’ve had quite a lot to think about this weekend, as well as a lot of emotions running rampant – but above all, we want to make sure to keep you abreast of what’s going on.

First of all, Cosmographia is opening applications for two mod positions and one helper mod position. They will be accepted from today, November 22nd to Friday, November 27th. We’ll be looking at mod experience, what applicants know they can do in regards to admin and playerbase work, and where they want to take the game; Freya will be the one reviewing these applications. Given that the state of the game is so volatile right now, any mod stepping into the spotlight is going to be intensely scrutinized. The modship's top priority right now is repairing the game and trying to restore order. and so for the time being we feel that it is best done through anonymous modding. That way, we as a team can focus on the welfare of the game and its playerbase. It will also mean that contacting the mod team through email will be the paramount way to contact us.

Now, obviously, not everyone on the team will be anonymous – Freya will still be helping, and Elaine will still be a mod. As for Elaine, she is willing to remain open to questions and concerns on Plurk as she has done throughout this weekend.

Second, we will be implementing a monthly HMD post for both players and the game itself. There will be an opportunity there for players to bring up their concerns with how the game is run, as well as a place for people to receive critique on their playing. This is a general forum for people to express their opinions and concerns, and to talk openly with the mods and each other about improvements.

Third, we will have to push back November’s event to next month. Again, we want to focus on your welfare, and after all that’s happened this weekend, it’s apparent that both the mod team and the playerbase are exhausted. Elaine has offered her time and services to run a lighter Thanksgiving-themed mingle. Initial details can be found here, and more will be posted in the next couple of days.

Lastly, we will be implementing some small housekeeping changes to the calendar in regards to the weather. We’ve noticed that many players tend to forget that Waverly Bay is set in the Southern Hemisphere, and thus the seasons and their usual times are flipped from what they are in the Northern Hemisphere. We’ll be including a general weather blurb with each monthly calendar to give folks an idea of the meteorology.

If you have any questions or concerns, please address them in the comments below.

Edit: After discussion, we felt it best that the case of anonymous modding will be reviewed by the new mod team in question.

Hi. This is bii and mica posting together so say that Greg and Rose will be leaving the game together. We’ve been doing what practically amounts to name-squatting for too long and we really ought to free the characters up for other people to play if they want. We’ll miss you guys, but it’s time to go.

 Yo. It's wwwayfarer. I play the Beast, Percy and Idlei.

Guess what? Welcome to the BONE ZONE. I'm bringing in Sans from Undertale, but with a minor twist: he's not from the Pacifist Run. This Sans exists in the No Mercy timeline. It's angst time.

edit: wait shit did cosmos seriously get deleted right when I was about to throw this guy in
edit edit: wait nvm now I can actually post his intro

Dropping

Might as well make it official. Apologies to my CR and castmates for the suddenness.

Sorry, guys, but I'm outtie too. 

This is actually something I've been thinking about for a while, which is why I went on hiatus, but at this time I don't think it's gonna work, for obvious reasons.

Love you guys, let me know if you wanna keep in touch!

DROP

[relaxfriend]

Not that it wasn't obvious but I may as well announce it but I'm dropping Gary. I just want to say I had a lot of fun here and I have never had such a blast in a game playing this massive asshole. Sorry to the people who I just made plans with - especially those who tagged my latest post. I know I wasn't around very long at all but I will miss playing with quite a few of you.

Good luck to the rest of you!

Quick Note - Changing Keys!

Hey guys!

So...wow, that was a night, huh? As you can see, we're undergoing some changes, and things are definitely a mess right now, but we wanted to let you know that things are okay, the game is up and running and should stay that way. Many of the things addressed in the (now unfortunately) locked post are still going to happen:

First of all, we will be implementing a monthly HMD post for both players and a How's the Game post. There will be an opportunity there for players to bring up their concerns with how the game is run, as well as a place for people to receive critique on their playing. This is a general forum for people to express their opinions and concerns, and to talk openly with the mods and each other about improvements. We'll be holding off on the HMD until the dust settles, but we'll be having a How's The Game post as soon as possible for obvious reasons.

Second, we will have to push back November’s event to next month. Again, we want to focus on your welfare, and after all that’s happened this weekend, it’s apparent that both the mod team and the playerbase are exhausted. Elaine has offered her time and services to run a lighter Thanksgiving-themed mingle. More details on that will be posted in the next couple of days.

As for new news...we have a new mod team! Considering the drama that's gone on here, it was necessary, and if anyone needs a rundown of what happened, why it happened, and somesuch, please feel free to contact any of our new mods below:

Elaine (Jane, Thida, Asriel's mun) is still a mod, and in addition to contacting any of her character's journals, her plurk is here. She is on EST.

Claire (Sonico's mun) has stepped up as a mod, her plurk is here. She is on GMT, from the UK.

Lynsey (Adachi's mun) has also stepped up, her plurk is here. She is on MST.

Luc (Maya's mun), while not in-game at the moment, has also stepped up, and his plurk is here. He is also EST.

Please, please, PLEASE feel free to contact any of us at any time! And with that being said...we'd like to know when you guys want to have that How's The Game post! Please voice your opinions in the comments - we're thinking sooner rather than later, definitely some time this week, but we do know emotions are raw right now and we're all very, very tired from the events of this weekend.
