Endgame Logistics

[finchmods]

Hey everyone! This is an important update with information about how endgame will work, and what stuff we need from you before the big adventure! Please read everything, and don't be shy about asking questions! ♥

• End game will begin June 14th, and we'll try to wrap up everything by June 21st. Afterwards we'll have a graduation post, a reunion post, and you'll be able to post for the summer as well. We'll close the community on July 31st.
  
• Everyone is allowed to have a maximum of three characters active (i.e. they will be going in and doing the fighting).
  
• Active characters can be Supports! That's right, we'll let you send your soft children into the fray finally.
  
• Non-active characters will technically be semi-active - they won't be able to change locations, but they can log with other non-active characters where they are, and they can access their journals. They are not required to, though; you can let them be totally inactive if you want.
  
• Characters cannot switch between active & non-active status, so make your choices wisely! Active characters can be bumped down to inactive for various reasons, but non-active characters are staying where they are.
  
• There will be a mechanic where some active characters will lose their Personas, and will have to confront their Shadows to regain them (a scene you'll get to write). Everyone may have a maximum of two characters lose their Personas.
  
• If you have a character lose their Persona, you will also get to write a mini-dungeon for them! Explanation of how to do that (and an example) are given here. You need to tell us who is losing their Persona by June 8th, and will need to submit their dungeons and Shadow descriptions (screened) by June 11th so we can go over them/add them.
  
• Because we have the dungeon and Shadow submissions screened so people can be surprised if they want to, we wanted to give you guys a space OOCly to discuss what you're doing - this is just to help you sort out what you want to do/get ideas/check for overlap with others. We're not super concerned about overlap, but know that some people might be! Discussion can go here.
  
• OOCly we're letting you choose groups for your characters - ICly it will be 'random,' so don't worry about justifying things too much. Groups should be between four and six characters, but that's the only limitation on what a group is like (you don't have to have a Support, you can have multiple Leaders/Seconds in a group, etc.). You can distribute your characters without Personas however you wish as well, but stacking up a ton in a group will keep them very busy. You can discuss and form your groups here.
  
• These groups will be slightly mutable; members will be able to move around if they run into another group, but you still won't be able to deviate from the 4-6 number of characters. That means that a character can't go off on their own to find another group!

IMPORTANT DATES

• June 8th - Submit characters losing Personas and groups of 4-6 characters
  
• June 11th - Submit character's dungeons
  
• June 14th - Endgame begins
  
• June 21st - Endgame (hopefully) ends
  
• July 31st - Community is closed

I'm not making a dungeon for Sully but when I heard this a few weeks ago I was like "if Sully gets a dungeon this is the music for it"

I'm leaning YYZ by Rush for Hamsi's dungeon. And i'm still scouring for Liam.

Re: DUNGEON & SHADOW DISCUSSION: Theme Music

Re: DUNGEON & SHADOW DISCUSSION: Theme Music

[unironickylorenfan]

It honestly makes me picture "it's a renn faire but everybody's got frog heads" and i love it

Re: DUNGEON & SHADOW DISCUSSION: Theme Music

[mudskipper]

Oh I would love to design a Richie dungeon. It's just the whole shadow confrontation part that intimidates me.

Re: DUNGEON & SHADOW DISCUSSION

Okay, but counterpoint:

Re: DUNGEON & SHADOW DISCUSSION

[mudskipper]

airing my character's dirty emotional laundry is just way too much secondhand embarrassment for me to handle
