AC Results and a Feedback Request
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
thetonmodsDearest Gentle Readers,
The results are in and we're please to report that nobody will be swept from the game for this AC period. AC was technically waived for this month with the caveat that everyone set up their AC comments and we're pleased to say that everyone has.
The mod team are looking to include links to character's individual AC comments on the Taken list going forward as a means for players to more quickly locate their characters' come next AC time. We're acutely away of how much the game has grown in such a short time and that we now have four pages of AC comments so want to make this easier for people to find their characters.
We'd also welcome feedback from you all as to whether you would also like links included to other aspects of the character's journals - such as their personal inboxes and permissions posts.
Many thanks,
The Ton Mod Team

Dinner Party OOC Post
english_roseHey, folks!
Consider this your plotting and questions post for Erina's supper. She's going to do her best to keep the members of her party contained and polite, but considering the motley crew of guests, she has her hands full!

thetonmodsDearest Gentle Readers,
After much deliberation by the mod team we have decided to make some changes regarding how the game is run - specifically regarding the application and invite systems.
Quite simply, we did not at all expect the level of interest that we have garnered and the number of players we've gotten for what was supposed to be a small sandbox type game.
Because of this we have made the decision to end the rolling application system ie. having them always open and instead switch to the more standard practice of having them be open for a set period every month. We have stated from the very beginning that the rolling application system would be subject to review once we had more of an idea of the number of players we would attract. We feel that now is the time to make some changes.
The current system as it stands will end on Monday 24th of April, to give people a chance over the weekend to get in any applications they want to make under the old system before the changes take effect. After this we will close applications for them to be reopened again on the 1st of May for a period of 1 week: the 1st until the 7th. The specific deadline time will always be 12.01AM EST on the 7th. Having them opened for the first week of every month will be the new system going forward.
It has also been noted that having apps open all the time is creating a situation where some new players come in after an event has already started to wind down. We're therefore hoping that having a specific application window right before each month's event will place new and current players on a more equal footing in terms of engagement with what's going on in game.
During our closure of applications for the rest of April we will be making some changes to the application form itself - details of this will follow shortly.
We are also going to be changing the way player invites are handled going forward and similarly, invitations will open for a set period beginning on the 25th of every month until the last day of the month - right before apps open.
Players will be required to submit their invitations with the names of those they wish to invite to our revamped Invites page during this period, prior to applications opening on the 1st.
Our FAQ, Rules pages etc will be updated in due course to reflect these changes once they come into effect.
We want to keep this game sustainable for the long haul for everyone and really feel that this is the best course to take given the rate of growth and the number of players we've had in such a short time - which suffice to say, we are delighted about!
We hope that our players are supportive of these changes and of course we are always to happy answer any questions that you may have below.

thetonmodsHello lovely readers,
We really hope you're enjoying the game so far!
This is just a quick announcement from the mod team regarding a couple of things.
Firstly: Activity Check-in for the month of April.
As this is the first full month that the game will be open, we have decided to waive a full activity check-in requirement for April only. Normal AC will be in full effect going forwards.
The caveat to this is that we ask players please ensure that they have set up their activity check comments to the AC page before 12.01am on the last day of April ie. the normal AC deadline day. If a player fails to do this for a character then that character will be swept from the game.
We are aware that some players were actually looking forward to writing the diary entries this month for check-in. With that in mind, you are absolutely welcome to complete one anyway, particularly if you want to help inform further issues of Lady Pheme's Society Papers!
Secondly: Regarding player invites.
This is just a reminder that current players are limited to giving out two invitations per month to prospective new players.
EMP has come up in the Discord server a couple of time and this is just to clarify that you are welcome to use this to find prospective castmates for the game - we apologise for any crossed wires on that. The only thing we ask is that you bear in mind the above cap per month.
If anyone has any questions regarding any of the above then please leave a comment below or just pop us a message in the mod questions channel on the Discord Server!
Many thanks.
