ACHIEVEMENTS RE-WORK

Oct. 19th, 2025 04:06 pm
modmaster: (pic#17297226)
The way achievements work is as follows:

Nana will use her own powers to allow players to facilitate and help themselves and be less reliant on others and herself. Basically, each family will have their own β€œbulk tasks” that they can do and once these tasks are satisfied, they will either receive it immediately by delivery or for larger items, they will β€œdream” about it and wake up with the item inside their home, right by their front door delivered in pretty packages.

Each team will have their own set of tasks that they can accomplish which we will call achievements. These will not change every month like it used to (once upon a time…), but instead there will be a whole list of general themes that you can work with! Some should promote family cr and some should promote cross-family cr. The only limit is some items will have a cap so you don’t end up getting 1000000 cars a day and also to limit characters icky who might go harder than our ooc bodies can handle.

If you have more suggestions, let me know in this post under your team headers! Please keep in mind, tasks are not 10000% going to be locked to one family. They are also not required to be 10000% on family themes at all the times.

Things you cannot get from achievements alone at this time:
β—† Boat adjustments / rooms.
β—† Full room-size upgrades and renovations (some adjustments to rooms like furniture and stuff is okay).
β—† Healing items.
β—† Unique Magical items that did not exist previously.
β—† Plot-related items.
β—† Animals.

Ask Nana for those.

For Locations and Location Unlocks, they too will get a slight revamp due to the achievement changes. Every OOC month (or at least an ic week), families will need to do a specific task to temporarily access these facilities.

However! If they want to unlock one specific location unlock permanently, they can request that from Showmaster and perform a game of their own OR they can be given a large-scale quest (so you don't have to rely on me if you want!!!!!). Ping me if you want to do one and I'll schedule you in.

Please note, if one family like Forge unlocks the Weapons Room permanently, other teams can do the same, but you do have to share the space.

If you have questions, ping Celi in discord.

IC "ENDGAME" / OUT OF IC PLAY OPTIONS

Oct. 11th, 2025 07:11 pm

INFORMATION

At some point, you might find it that you've done all that you can with your character icly, but one of the current dropping options doesn't feel like a satisfying conclusion. Or perhaps you need your character to develop in a different way, but the current progression of the game icly doesn't match what you need. Or perhaps you've completed your arc and are ready for something new.

There are now a list of options that your character can ICly pursue as needed. These are options that are meant to facilitate characters who need to move on.

β€’ When you're ready to hit endgame, you just need to notate it in the drop page. You can either then ask me to create you a specific flavored endgame post or do it yourself if you want one! It's not a requirement of course, but it's an option in case you want to tie up any loose ends.

β€’ If you have a dropped character and would like to update it to an endgame option, that's okay! You can do that! Just notate it in the drop page.

β€’ I am not going to put a strict requirement of "ooc time played" or "memory regains" here just because I think most people aren't really swapping in and out of characters at this time. I would prefer people not to app a character for two weeks and then drop through endgame, but like if it's an OC, no one is going to come up and app your OC so lol, who can stop you!!

β€’ There is no true option for players to go STRAIGHT home at this time. This is just how the plot is right now and I cannot bend that icly, but that doesn't mean going home will never happen! It will just happen near the end when the entire game is in endgame. If you headcanon it different on your end, hey! Live your best life! This is just ICly in game, the narrative will not have "going home" options right away.

β€’ The difference between other endgames and this one is that some options will allow you to icly come back to the ship if you really want to. Please keep in mind, coming back is not EASY in a lot of cases, but it's doable! Email me if that is something you need to do.

Those are the current rules and are subject to change. So now! The following endgame options are currently available:

Become a Producer for the Showmaster.
ICly, Showmaster will start taking Producers under her wing from the third generation (aka you all). Due to recent events, she feels like she needs to prep for the fourth generation. Producers are 100% under the Showmaster’s control. Originally, they were given the chance to "escape" the performances, and in exchange of their true name, they gained relief from the trauma they would experience.

It's a little different for third gen. Trauma escape is not the requirement. Some people might not have went through a great deal of trauma, but maybe they want power. Maybe they want to get closer to the Showmaster. Maybe they want better smooch access with one of the Producers! Whatever it is, they have their own reasons and the Showmaster will not reject them this time.

OOC note, this does not require gamerunning but you certainly can! You will continue to exist on the boat, but you would be "out of play" aka you're not required to thread if you do not want to. Producers have their own floor.

Your character would have to ICly come up to her for this, but if you really, really want this option but have no idea how to make it work, email me!

Become a Storyteller for the Ticketmaster.

The basic requirement is that your character HAS to be willing to give up the family bond that they have or have a desire to connect to the Ticketmaster in some way. One day, your character will wake up to find pages of "their canon story" all around them, drenched in salt water, leading them "out" of wherever they are. No one else but the character can see these pages.

They'll feel the urge to follow their pages until they find themselves finding "the stairs" and they'll climb all the way down until they find the "Ticketmaster's Domain". They'll have a page of the Ticketmaster's story (email me if you want this info!) and she'll mention that she's trying to recruit other "storytellers" for her goal. If you accept, you will no longer be part of your old family, but actually become An Author. You would then have the option of helping the Ticketmaster with things like finding visions for the performers and if you want to run an event, you can. You will continue to exist on the boat.

OOC note, this does not require eventrunning but you certainly can! You will continue to exist on the boat, but you would be "out of play" aka you're not required to thread if you do not want to. Storytellers are hidden in Ticketmaster's domain.

Find Your Way Home Through the Ocean.

Thanks to the efforts of many, the ocean is more or less "awake". For those who are either extremely homesick or looking for their memories or trying to connect "to their other life", they'll find a voice calling to them in their dreams, in their daily lives, wherever they are, they'll hear it.

"I'm sorry for it all. I can try to lead you to what you are looking for."


And you'll find an invitation to "Find Yourself" and in it, it says you simply need to go to the elevator, but once you go, it might be difficult to return. It takes you down to the lowest floor of the boat, which is a glass aquarium and you can see an open door that you can walk through.

When you walk through the ocean, you'll find you can breathe fine, and you can speak to the ocean as you do. If you ever have doubts about this option, you'll find that visions that you haven't had slowly returning back as you travel further. As you travel, you can even find "pages" but instead of pages, it's little snippets of your canon world (or even pg world if you want) moving along in the present. You can actually even speak/connect to these by either writing on the pages or just voicing what you need to through the pages. Once you collect everything, the ocean promises to find a way to send you back to where you belong if you so wish.

This is a generalized idea of what can happen, but it can be adjusted and customized as needed!

Explore the Boat

The boat is massive, but everyone is contained to mostly a few floors. Nana, however, has been working hard behind the scenes to make it where guests can now explore beyond that. For every task that the characters have done icly, for every gift, for every kind word, it has increased "Nana's Satisfaction Ability". The higher it is, the more things she has "access to" to help "satisfy" others (not like that though). She cannot explore things on her own, but she wants to give everybody the chance to find what it is that they need.

She warns though that it is very hard to bring people back without the Showmaster noticing so she wants you to know that once you're gone, you might be gone for a while.

You can communicate with other players and explore if you'd like, but you're essentially "out of play". I have a bunch of lore bits that will probably never show before endgame so if you want some fun facts to throw out here, feel free to poke me anytime (just don't do this everyday).

Return back to Estoria
This one isn't much different. Nana also gives people an option to 'return' making up some kind of excuse for them to do so. She cannot do this often so that's why she doesn't just offer it to EVERYBDOY, but slowly she's trying to help those who want to return back home and keep them there for as long as possible, hoping they won't be dragged back.

Just like with the option above, characters can either just remain and live blissfully at home, but they can also investigate for clues and lore that have been erased prior. Again, you can communicate with other players and explore if you'd like, but you're essentially "out of play". I have a bunch of lore bits that will probably never show before endgame so if you want some fun facts to throw out here, feel free to poke me anytime (just don't do this everyday).

OTHER OPTIONS
If NONE of these fit whatsoever, but you have an idea, please email me and I'll see if there's something I can do for you! Likewise, if the above options are close to what you want but want a couple other things added on, let me know!



Whatever choice you make, please note, your character will eventually reach "home" (whatever that is to the character) once Limelight, the game, is over, regardless of what option you choose. They cannot go back to the world straight away yet, but they will eventually reach their home the same time as everyone else.

The "GHOST" Rooms

Jun. 15th, 2025 05:22 pm

The "Ghosts" of the Cabins
ACIDIA CONSERVATORY | CIRRUS NETWORK | SUN SIGN | SIREN'S MELODIES
THE FORGE | EONIA | HOLY ORDER | UNHOLY ORDER


In each cabin, there is a family-colored door that once opened into an empty room. Weird phenomena happen in this room as if there are "ghosts" lingering inside (as some guests might call them). Whether they're ghosts or not are hard to say. For whatever reason, they seem to be the ones responsible for keeping the Showmaster and Ticketmaster from coming into these cabins. They seem to be protecting the families.

As of Day [], the ghosts are no longer just "ghosts" and can sometimes appear in the rooms if requested. They've also renovated these "ghost" rooms to look more like conference/gathering rooms

POWERS (CANON)

Jun. 15th, 2025 05:11 pm
REGAINING CANON POWERS AND ABILITIES


How Do Regains Work?

They can be earned from the following:

- Prizes from specific events or performances
- Team Ghost Family Events
- Rewards from achievements (TBD, more details coming soon!)

You should have viewed five memories before getting your first power! In the event people get awarded powers and you haven't reached that threshold yet, you can also gain another memory. That way you aren't stuck without a power for a long period of time unless you wish to.

They cannot be insanely overpowered to the point of game-breaking. If you have a power like turning into a giant mech and need an excuse for why it won't work, then it's because you're on Showmaster's ship and sometimes, things just don't work right. πŸ™

Additionally, canon restrictions apply, including PG game rules. If you have to do X before you can use your power or there's a limit on it, then it also applies here! If your power is dependent on an outside force (like a god for example), let me know and I'll come up with an alternative so you aren't locked out of using it.

Consider splitting/combining powers. Do you have a bunch of little abilities that would count as one? Maybe split them up! Likewise, combining a bunch of little abilities is also an option! Think of how Blessings work and try to split/combine in roughly the same way if you can.

Canon powers and blessing powers cannot mix for IC reasons. If you use blessings one day, you must have a cooldown before using your canon powers. Ultimately this isn't a hard limit especially depending on thread vibes, or maybe a really great lifetime IC moment, but in general there is a 24 hour cooldown before you can use one or the other.

ICly, this feels like two types of energy inside of you that do not intermingle or touch. It is not painful, but you can tell that if you reach for a blessing, it comes from a different space than canon powers.

However, though you cannot use blessings and canon powers together, you CAN affect them using the other. So if a person is trying to hit you with a canon power fireball, and you have a blessing shield, the shield WILL work.

You can decide if a side effect counts as a power or just an aesthetic change. For example, a lot of negative side effects won't kill you if you treat it as a permanent side effect and not a power to be regained. Hair color changes, hunger to drink blood, illnesses, etc. However, item rule applies here, if the item is not near you, these do not apply to you.

Speaking of items, you must have your item on you to use canon powers. If you do not have it or it's more than five or so feet away, your powers will not work and will in fact feel like they're not there.

If you don't have an item, Ticketmaster will give you one. Items should be small enough to fit in a pocket and be symbolic of SOMETHING in canon. It can be a mini figurine of your weapon, a small book, a feather, etc. It can be larger, but keep in mind that you must carry it on you.

Cabin rules apply. You can affect your own cabin, but you cannot use powers in another cabin unless granted EXPLICIT IC and OOC permission. Also, if it becomes a point that it harms the family, your powers WILL shut off. This is due to the cabin ghosts in the Family room. Ghost rules override all!!

Regains will happen about once a month on average. But I also know some of you have 1000+ powers to choose from too. In these cases, I would recommend prioritizing the major ones you want to receive, and sprinkling in the smaller ones along the way after the big ones are regained. This is not usually a battle heavy game, so keep that in mind!

If you already have your canon power as a blessing, you can swap the blessing into something new at any time you're ready.

But wait, I don't come from a canon with magic/powers/etc!

For characters who have no magical options, you are allowed to extrapolate your canon and MAKE them like powers. For example, say your character is really good at imitating things they learn but it's just a normal skill. This can be applied as a magical ability that allows them to copy any skill temporarily. If you need help with this, please ping Celi!

Alternatively, there will be a list of pre-approved blessings that you can pick from in case you've already used these ICly or don't feel you have anything good enough to represent powers. This is just so characters with no magic canons don't feel left out! This does not automatically apply to you if you have Canon or PG powers, you must regain those first before this becomes an option for you.

THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND BE ADJUSTED AT ANY POINT. If I feel like it's busted or too limited, I'll adjust as necessary.

DEATH AND INJURIES

Jun. 15th, 2025 01:46 pm
IMMORTALITY

In this game, characters will find out within their first traumatic performance, they will likely find out that they cannot die or at least permanently! When they suffer a fatal blow, their body will cease to function for just a moment but then it begins "to repair itself" until the body can begin to function again.

For example, say a person had a bomb strapped to their chest and it exploded, causing their chest and heart to burst. As they lay there, the splattered pieces of flesh will slowly move back to the original body and start to piece itself back where it needs to be until the body is back in one piece, as if the bomb never happened.

An arm gets cut off? It'll slide back into place. An eye gets eaten? The eye will attempt to escape the body and return back to the original body.

Did your character have a near death experience and no one could explain why? Well now you know why.

Because this is not an effect that is caused by the ship.

INJURIES IN PERFORMANCES

Now, with performances, recovery might act a little different. Since many of them take place in some sort of 'different reality', body parts that get lost during performances might get swallowed by that story and will not be able to return to you no matter what. They're just basically eaten by a void and you're left without whatever body parts you have.

On top of that, due to Producers of these performances being able to control any aspect of the performance, healing might be "delayed". Depending on the performances, the way to heal might be limited to using the healing pools, relying on those with healing blessings, or just waiting at least a day to recover naturally.

INJURIES OUTSIDE OF PERFORMANCES

The speed of which your body comes back to you can vary for your fun, but if your body was completely obliterated, it should take no longer than a day to recover. If someone were to steal an eye and shove it in a jar, you would be eyeless until that eye escapes. However, if that jar isn't tied down, the eye might have enough force to move the jar as it tries to reunite with its original body.

HELP ME APPS!!!!!

Nov. 19th, 2024 08:46 pm
modmaster: (pic#17297226)
Hello!! I'm looking for a few helpers to assist me and Mitzi with some upkeep! I keep getting yelled at by the kind playerbase so I have no choice in the matter!!!!! (this is a joke, I appreciate everyone's kindness and consideration ;3;)

I'm looking for a couple of helpers for specific categories:

Please write better location descriptions than Celi. I'd like some writing/editing of the current locations and also for future locations! My writing skill is like so-so, but I'm not as detail-orientated nor do I have a consistent flow when it comes to writing this kind of stuff. I used to rely on photos I find on google search but now...lol...lol..........ai lol......so yes, if you can assist with writing locations, that'd be sweet!!

NPC Questions Recorder (maybe also plot gatherer tbd). This one is a fun one I think (?) but basically I'll link you to a specific plot post where my npcs are getting grilled by pcs and what I want is for you to put all of the relevant questions and answers that come out of it into a single word doc. This is for my reference and for player reference! I have started gathering a lot of this but this slows me down a lot because it never ends so if you're interested in this, let me know!!

Powers TEN HELPS US WITH THIS SO I'M PROBABLY NOT HIRING PPL BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK TEN FOR ALL THEIR HELP!!!!! Currently Ten is working on a cool pre-approved power spreadsheet so if you're too lazy (like me) to think up stuff, you can just pick and go or even use it as a good base reference.

Layout/coding/navigation stuff I HAVE HIRED MEL FOR THIS THANKS MEL!!!! But also if you're interested in general, I can probably take another person in.

Bimonthly updates (possible housekeeper?) Right now, this is just posting new AU posts and updating the food menu, I don't know if there's other stuff to be added but consider it like a mini/backup housekeeping job. Mitzi does a lot of the AC stuff so you don't have to worry about AC in particular but if she needs extra help, and you're okay with it, she might poke you for help!! Plus maybe a future feature that's tbd but it's a secret for now, whoo.

Please keep in mind, I know I can be finicky about certain things (this is why I try to do a lot myself lol), and I know sometimes I have trouble articulating my brainisms into words! I'll do my best to be clear though and honestly, I do appreciate any volunteers as a whole and I will probably cry in your lap in appreciation everyday, I already cry in Mitzi's lap everyday.

It'll free up a lot of time for us to look at large scale events that we want to run in the future and do more fun npc stuff for everyone and then everyone's stuff will be more up-to-date!

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, JUST COMMENT TO THE POST WITH YOUR NAME AND WHICH PARTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, IT'S SCREENED. Please do not feel sad if I do not choose you, I can only have so many extra hands before I get overwhelmed, ok ok.

THANK U I LOVE U THANK U ALL FOR UR WORRIES ABOUT MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BALANCED RP PLAYER/MOD LIFE

PERFORMANCES AND MEMORIES

Oct. 12th, 2024 09:45 pm




Performances and Memories
A large part of this game revolves around the regains of memories that have either been "rewritten" or "lost". This is usually through performances and events that will happen throughout the guests' journey on the D.V. DREAM VESSEL.

Every player character in this world is affected by one of two different afflictions (although some new characters will not realize this). Whether this is true or not of non player characters is currently a mystery.

✯ALTERNATE MEMORIES
For some characters, their memories have been completely replaced with alternate memories of living full lives in the world Estoria. To them, this IS their true self and this has always been the life they live. They were born here, they grew up here, they lived here, they are a real member of their organization, this is who they are.

They're completely unaware that their memories have been tampered with, and in fact anyone who tries to tell them otherwise will find that it's impossible to convince them this.

You can find more information on AU building here and Estoria's setting here.

✯MEMORY LOSS
There are those who cannot remember who they once were. This is an uncommon affliction, but not uncommon enough to be considered particularly rare. In fact, there are some studiess revolving those who have suffered memory loss although not enough to understand the full cause of what has happened, but there are interesting leads.

For one, a very common trait for amnesiacs is that they were "born" near the beaches of Seastar Ocean. The earliest memory that each of these amnesiacs share is that they "left behind their memories to escape the ocean" so to many of them, they consider it the place they were born. Usually the birth is a figurative speech as it's not a very populated area (there is only a single village), but certainly some amnesiacs might have been told that they were truly born in that village.

Another lead, there seems to be two common types of amnesiacs. The first being those who have actually had a life in Estoria before losing their memories. They had friends or families, they had their own fulfilling lives, and then they had forgotten it all. Their relationships still remember THEIR past lives, but the amnesiac does not. The other one are the "full" amnesiacs, those who just seem to have come from nowhere. They don't exist in any database, they have no identification, they had to completely start their new lives from nothing. Luckily, this isn't too hard because there are systems in place to help new amnesiacs gain proper identities so they can acclimate into society.

In fact, families will almost always adopt anyone with amnesia. Every amnesiac has blessings and it's always a benefit to have a variety of blessings if possible. In return, families have the means to help give amnesiacs a place to live and a temporary purpose or goal until they feel settled into who they are. That brings us to the last lead that scientists have found:

Some of them might be fully blank slates, having to develop personality, morals, etc, and some have strong recognizable traits at the start, but all of them have one common aspect: they're all determined to rebuild themselves. There is almost a thirst to kind of start a new life because they want to achieve some sort of goal, they're not sure what that goal is, but since they escaped the ocean or since they became conscious of themselves, they remember, "I have to do something."

✯New Characters
Whenever new characters arrive on the ship, they'll likely run into characters who have regained a bunch of memories before they have. Trying to convince new characters that their lives are fake will not work. Trying to talk anything about memory regains will not work. If you insist on trying to convince them, they'll suddenly develop a horrible, painful headache that will force them to leave the situation with whatever means necessary. They will get really sick!

You can tell them that the situation on the ship will involve murder and maiming, and no one will believe you. You will simply have to accept that you sound crazy until new characters go through a few experiences themselves.

✯Performances (Games)
To regain memories, there are specific ways to do so:
✯ Performances/Memory Regaining
Performances (or "Games" for those that are familiar with these types of team rps) are time-based scenarios that often have rules that characters must follow, aiming to achieve the winning conditions to gain prizes. These scenarios can be one day sit down affairs, lasting between two-five hours OR sometimes they can last longer, maybe up to two OOC weeks.

For those unfamiliar, games can be anything, lighthearted, silly slumber party style games like truth or dare or spin the bottle, literal board games like Candyland or Chutes & Latters, or really dark games where injury is possible like Prisoner's Dilemma or Operation. They don't have to be literal games either, they can be as simple as answering the most truthful facts or judging who is the most sinful, etc. Often you work with your team in these games, but sometimes they're open ended and you can play with anyone to achieve your goals. There's a wide variety and you'll learn pretty quick what kind you like best!

At this time, games are ran by Producers, previous performers of the Limelight Stage. If you're interested in running a game or making your own producer, please feel free to email limelight.stage.mods@gmail.com to express your interest!

Here is a directory of all Producers at this time.
✯ Events
There will also be Events. Events will be similar to performances, but they do not have winning or losing conditions. These will be scenarios that often allow characters to discover more information on the world's backstory or maybe other cool and interesting stuff. Sometimes they might be limited to a specific family or two or maybe be open to all. If you're interested in a specific theme or post (deage, dreams, etc) let us know!
✯ Memory Objects
The Ticketmaster will always hand out memory objects (in secret) to performers after each performance and sometimes in events as well. Memory objects are items that usually contain a singular chunk of memory from their real lives. As they continue to regain memories, they'll begin to recognize their other life.
✯Regaining Memories
How should the regain pacing look?
Now obviously, taking a single memory will not instantly revert you back to your old self! It should be a slow gradual process of recognizing that this other life is just as real as the one your character is living now. I'll give you a general guideline. You do not have to follow this guideline 100% but :

For the first 1-4 memories, you feel disconnected from these memories, almsot as if you're watching a movie of a person that looks eerily like you. Everyone who tries to convince you that those memories are yours will sound crazy, yes even to those with amnesia. After that, each new memory regain starts to feel a little bit more like your own. Probably once you get a third of your memories, you'll start to truly believe that these are your memories.

Around Memory 5 will be when you will start to feel strange things happening to your appearance. If your AU/amnesia self has a different appearance, you'll find that you'll start to see that form of yourself in mirrors or reflections. Changes should also be gradual, an itch in areas that should be different. Soon you'll find little patches of fur or scales in place of skin. You'll find the flesh of your finger falling off and metal underneath it, revealing a robotic appendage. The more memories, the more your old self will show. There are ways to prevent this change, but currently, that knowledge is unknown.

Original powers and skills have specific memory unlocks, that's tbd.

ACHIEVEMENT AND OTHER MONTHLIES

Oct. 12th, 2024 01:30 pm






Achievements and Other Monthlies
✯ Achievements
There is a feature of the D.V. Dream Vessel to help promote bonding between families! To acquire any prize or unlock special features, you must accomplish an "achievement" with another family member. These are usually easy and not too difficult, and they'll cycle out every so often (an ooc month - two ooc months) so it never gets stale!

You will ICly get a message on your phone when these rollovers happen.
✯ CURRENT ACHIEVEMENTS (OOC: 10/12/24) (IC DAY 215)
β—† Small disposable item β—†
(example: toothbrush, razor, hair ties, etc)
You must pay compliments to someone, and they must be sincere! For each item, you must talk to a different person. Do your best!

β—† Food ingredients β—†
(example: potatoes, plain chocolate bar, individual condiments, salt, etc)
You must display affection to at least three people for each food ingredient! Once you achieve the ingredient unlock, a food delivery app will download onto your phone and you'll have access to that specific ingredient for the month (yes you can share it with others if you feel kind). While there is no limit, you'll find that by the end of this achievement cycle, any leftovers will be perishable. Please keep that in mind if you don't want to deal with disposing 1000000 rotten potatoes.

β—† UNLOCKS: β—†
reference to the location unlocks
To unlock the room features that are considered LOCKED, you must hold hands with another person the entire duration of your visit. If you have no hands, the closest appendage that you have will work as well. Once the current theme starts over, players must unlock them again with new quests. You MUST thread this achievement out. It's fine if all the threads aren't done 100% as long as an attempt has been made!

For the ones that require threads, just link them here in this post just for ease of reference. You do NOT need me to reply to you for approval UNLESS you're uncertain which category items go to, I'll reply to any inquiries. But once you link them, you get your requested thing same day!
(ooc: link to old turnin post, reference only)

FOR ANYTHING ELSE
You'll have to contact Nana or Captain Man. Nana's quests tend to be very social, Captain Man's tend to be very skill based. However, you never know what you'll get until you contact either of them.
✯ Nana's Cleanup Crew
Nana has found some space in the fourth floor that can be useful for the passengers. Until the rooms are fully refurbished, blessings cannot be used on this floor. These are her current projects:
✯ Cafe Tasklist
β—† The glass windows looking outside are broken. We need new windows!!
β—† There's a lot of broken furniture here! To acquire new furniture, please build new ones! I can give you the material.
β—† Food! Someone should collect a list of food items to be put on the menu!
β—† The cats must be satisfied. Please convince 10 people to put on cat ears and take pictures of them wearing the ears. I'll provide these too.
β—† General cleanup!

✯ Library Tasklist
β—† We need new bookshelves! I'll provide the wood, you just have to make the shelves!
β—† Book restoration! They seem to be wet and gross. Please all the books to the deck and dry them out! Don't ask, this will work, I swear.
β—† New content! Please write some new content because we're all dying. Interview people and figure out what types of books people would like to read.
β—† Libraries aren't just bookshelves! Please write a list of other things we could use here, bean bags, couches, chairs, tables, etc.
β—† General cleanup!
If you accomplish one of these tasks, PLEASE LINK IT UNDER THE APPROPRIATE HEADER!! It needs to be threaded out or have a post somewhere, thank you!!

✯Hotel Room Menu
You can always order these to your room at no cost to you. Just use your room phone to do so. Besides the restaurants, there's no real way to get food from a store (sometimes achievements will allow patreons to get food options though).

Currently your menu options are:

β—† Eggs and bacon breakfast
β—† Ramen noodles
β—† Key Lime Pie

RULES

Aug. 17th, 2024 12:52 pm
♦ I am the potato god. - I will listen to all suggestions! I welcome them! However, this game has a specific atmosphere that I want to achieve, and I will focus on maintaining that atmosphere. There will be plot elements that I like that might not appeal to others so please be aware of this! I'm a potato tyrant, I have the final say.

♦ You must be 18 or Older to join Limelight. This is not going to be a problem since this is friends only, I know, but I'm putting it here anyway.

♦ No sock accounts/identities. Again, probably not a problem but YOU NEVER KNOW.

♦ Respect one another and respect each other's boundaries. Don't be an asshole!

♦ Respect the gamerunners, eventrunners, helpers etc. I will be real, this is my big, big no no button! Mistakes might happen in games, maybe someone is late, maybe life explodes and they can't update a list immediately. Don't give them a hard time for it!ESPECIALLY if someone is running a game, do not openly get mad about the rules, process, or results WHILE IT'S BEING RAN. If you have a complaint thinking a team should have won because of scoring mistakes, you can come to ME or KATY, but please, if it's not perfect, do not take it personally. It is a GAME ran by people who do not TEST GAMES FOR A LIVING.

♦ You must join the game Discord. Communication is key! I repeat, communication is key! I do not expect everyone to become plurkfriends or share e-mails, but I do expect people to have one communication avenue open, and discord is the easiest since all game announcements will be done here.

♦ SRS Mod questions goes to the mod e-mail - limelight.stage.mods@gmail.com. You can ask general easy questions in discord if I'm around, but if I think it's a somewhat serious question, I'll direct you to the e-mail.

♦ Also Katy and I work like 40 hrs a week with extra travel time and more, if we do not get to you immediately, please do not explode. If you see I accidentally skipped your question, feel free to ping again then!

♦ Applications are limited. Friends of Celi are allowed in. If you are not an immediate friend, please tap me or ask a mutual friend to tap me! We can talk from there! You can find me on plurk @ celifairy or my disco which is at Celifairy. You must at LEAST know someone I know pretty well or have shared many games with me, otherwise I'm going to say no.

♦ Godmoding sucks. Don't do it. If you're going to AU something that involves another character, let their player know and ask if that's okay. I'm talking about things like, "my character had ran into this character at a coffee shop and developed feelings for them," or "one time this character ignored my character without knowing and now they hold a grudge," let the player know and ask if they're okay with that! Now obviously, people can have pre-conceived notions of a character without meeting them if someone else talks to them about it, that's fine. But forcing connections without ANY reason will count as godmoding!

I don't think anyone here would do this intentionally ever, but I know we can all get swept by the moment INCLUDING MYSELF FTR so this is just a friendly reminder!!

♦ I can change the rules if I remember anything else.

TIME / WEATHER CYCLES

Aug. 17th, 2024 12:32 pm
modmaster: (pic#17297226)







Weather and Time
✯ How does time work?

Estoria as a whole tends to follow the Port Manteau Calendar. One full seasonal rotation spans 100 days, and three full rotations make up a year. Weather changes a lot!
✯ The Cycle:

Day 1-20 (Flower Cycle): Warm, temperate weather, sunny skies, but also good chance of rain showers. Flowers thrive in this season. Acidia members are out and about everywhere, good luck going a day without seeing one gathering flowers.

Day 21-40 (Dust Cycle): Warm to hot temperatures, little wind, very dry. Make sure to stay hydrated and take care of your plants! Dust-based sicknesses increases around this time.

Day 41-60 (Mourning Cycle): Warm, temperate weather, a LOT of rain or wind, but mostly rain. It is called the mourning cycle because it is said that the skies are crying for the ones they've lost. Who are the lost ones? We don't know.

Day 61-80 (Leaves Cycle): Temperatures start to cool, windy picks up especially around this time. Leaves begin to fall. Known for the "leaving whirlwind" phenomena where mini tornados pick up the leaves and can trap people within them for a short amount of time.

Day 81-100 (Stars Cycle): It becomes cold and it snows nearly everyday. It is called the Stars cycle because the skys' nightlife becomes much more vibrant and the light from the stars make the snow beds sparkle like stars as well.

And then you would repeat this cycle every 100 days. Now this does not mean that every location in the world of Estoria has these same weather phenomena, some places are much more dry or some places will snow for half of the year! But the speed in which weather changes IS this quick for most of the world. Essentially 15 seasons one IC year.
