This is the one week before opening warning/extra information post.
* As I said before (or I think I did) we will be opening at midnight Eastern time on Monday, November 29th (leading into Tuesday the 30th). If I am around as well as enough of the members, there will be an aim chat around an hour or two before opening. Or however long.
* Characters will arrive, be given their housing assignments and immediately encouraged to find jobs. You have already assigned your job to your characters and it is up to you how long it takes to get the job you chose. Play with it, though. Have them go a few places to apply, have them interview with the owner(s). They will also have laptops, where they can post to the online journals. The entire city has wifi, so you can post from anywhere.
* I will be putting a plot drop box up in the mod journal sometime soon and I encourage you to use it. Don't limit your ideas to just what your characters can do, anything you come up with, please contribute. If there are no characters in game that can make it happen, the doctor can. All we know about him is that he's a psychologist, but if he can bring people out of their fandoms and change one life decision, he can do other things too. Plus I have Katherine and Elle for any plot stuff that they can pull off. In that post, you will also be able to volunteer your characters for plots--just let us know their name, what they can do (abilities, etc) and if their means would be for good or evil (or just for their own personal enjoyment).
* Keep in mind that your characters
are changeable as the game progresses. Game canon is practically non-existent. Just as your characters have had things change about them upon arrival, if someone else in their fandom joins with a decision that would have effected them, they will change with no memory of how it was before (say Lilly comes in after having broken up with Logan, but maybe Logan didn't kiss Yolanda and they would still be together because of it, Lilly would go from thinking she was single to knowing she and Logan have been together all along. Yes, I know it's confusing. However, other characters in the game will recall anything she told them. So if she mentioned her cheating boyfriend then he comes in having not cheated, people not from the Veronica Mars fandom would recall that mention.
* There will be character deaths and some darker plots. Any dark plots will be by volunteer only. Character deaths will be dropped characters (they must die before they can be picked up again) and once again, when they come back in they will have no memory of being here, but other people will.
* Respond to this post and any other mod posts. Replies are
required within a week's time, or you will receive a warning. I really don't want this to be a reason you get removed from the game, so please try to keep on it. Unless you have something to contribute or specific requests are made, all you need to do is post saying you've read it. so it doesn't take that long and it lets me know that what we the mods have posted has been read and understood. And if you do have any questions, please let us know.
* For reference, while Utopia's exact location is unknown, we will be using LA for weather and current events and other stuff. Unless there is a plot involving the weather to make it different from LA's.
This may be edited at any time if I have forgotten anything. So you might want to check back.
Anyway, have fun, feel free to introduce yourselves and begin plotting.
