TIME / WEATHER CYCLES

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.

RULES

♦ 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.
