August AC Check.

AC Submission Form | AC Spreadsheet | Previous AC

Hello everyone, and welcome to Awash’s August AC post! AC will be open all month long, and can be submitted until August 31st, 9 PM EST.

AC requirements are:

• 25 comments over a minimum of two threads and a maximum of five threads
  OR
  
• One post AND a minimum of one additional thread and a maximum of two threads adding to 10 comments

Please keep in mind the additional requirements, due to the game's nature as focused on the bonds and CR formed between characters:

• You may use a maximum of 1 inbox thread for AC.
  
• You may use a maximum of 1 thread with castmates for AC.
  
• You may not use threads with the same characters as you used for the previous AC.

Awash’s AC will be done via a Google form, which can be found here. More information about AC, clarification about AC requirements, the forms, and how to submit can be found here. Please be sure to give it a read!

You will also be required to link your character’s Color Post in their journal; this is so that we can tally up what large events happened over the month in question. In the monthly mod post that will follow AC’s closing, we will be listing out what changes have occurred based on the characters’ experiences and colors, so keep an eye out for that! If your character didn’t have anything big happen to them that month, it’s okay. Just link the Color Post anyway.

Please be aware that we will not be posting a warning list. We will post a generic announcement a day before AC closes to remind everyone that AC will be closing, but will not be generating a list of people who have not submitted their AC. We’ll be counting on all of you to keep track of your own AC and submit it when necessary! Please also be sure to check a few days after you have submitted said AC, to make sure that you haven’t miscounted or submitted the form incorrectly. AC will be checked by the mods every Monday at the latest. You can view your AC and check its status here.

Should your character be removed due to AC, we will not be accepting retroactive requests to remain in the game. Because it is a capped game, we believe this is the best way to be fair to everyone in the game who has submitted their AC.

Thank you for your understanding and for reading through all of this! If anything about AC is unclear, please feel free to ask questions below, so we can clarify for you.

Once again, the important links are the AC submission form and the AC spreadsheet. If you would like to doublecheck what threads you used for last AC, that can be found here.

Mod Post. 8/3/18

[awashmods]

Hello everyone, and welcome to August's monthly mod post! Strap on in for some info for the upcoming month!

Mechanics

• First off, AC has completed and has been processed. AC is now open for August. August's AC Post can be found here. Thank you to everyone who completed AC!
  
  
• Applications will reopen September 1st - September 7th. There are currently 12 slots open for new players. Current players are welcome to apply for a second character at any point during this applications period.
  
  
• For reference, casts nearing cap are: DC Comics (5/6), Final Fantasy XV (4/6), Homestuck (4/6), Idolish7 (4/6), Kingdom Hearts (5/6), My Hero Academia (4/6), and Persona 5 (4/6).
  
  
• As outlined in the FAQ, we aren't writing up new TDMs for each application round now that the number of application slots is small. However, we're always open to writing one up if players would like us to! We've had a few requests for a new TDM, so we'll be writing one up for August 18th, 9 PM EST. We hope that will give everyone plenty of time to thread together and bounce their characters off of some others!
  
  
• The upcoming event will involve sign-ups this month, so please keep your eyes peeled for the OOC post later this month for more info!

Announcements

• Because the Quest Forum Post has been starting to load slowly for some people due to the number of comments on it, we've posted a clean Quest Forum Post here. The old one is linked on that post. This is only an OOC change. ICly, the Quest Forum Post is the same as ever.

Quests

• Quests for August are now up! The OOC breakdown of said quests can be found below, as with last month. All quests have been posted ICly to the Quest Forum Post.
  
  
• The Quest Reporting comment can be found here. As ever, please respond to that comment once the quest itself has been completed. When reporting the quest, please state what quest it is in the subject line; we've realized that that helps us a lot with keeping track over the past few months!
  
  
• Please be aware that Quests still must be reported by the end of the month; this is because we use what quests are completed to keep track of what colors are restored for the next month!

Color Changes/Rewards

This month’s color changes are as follows (color changes can be tracked at the Color/Game Timeline):

Color Gains:

• All new characters have now had their text color restored on the forum, as well as the color of the outside of their home restored. Please be aware that it will be some shade of blue, red, or yellow depending on which district they are living in.
  
  
• Additionally, the houses of Dave and John and Fushimi, Guren, Akira and Yata have now had the outside turn purple. The houses of Okuyasu and Jake and Izuku, Shouto, Sorey and Mikleo have turned green, and the house of Hunk and Keith has turned orange. Huh! These color changes are reflected on the housing document as well.
  
  
• Because all of the quests were completed this past month, characters may notice that the color of the moon. For good this time, not just because of the werewolves! Not that we'd blame anyone for being wary of it.
  
  
• Please also see this comment below to see what color changes have occurred thanks to your characters' Color Logs! This month, the theme was CR webs -- at least one of the three characters had a thread with one of the others on their Color Log for each group for the month of July! Please note that the food that's been restored has indeed been restored to that mixed up color of each of their hexcodes. So yes, milk is now purple. They taste like normal, though!
  
  
• Additionally, each character will each get a small crate of the food they restored color to -- think about the size of an antique milk delivery box (because that's exactly what it's going to show up in). That means that there's suddenly going to be a lot of sage in the Town, yes.

Color Losses:

• From deaths: Pumpkins, Spam, Lemons, Shell Pasta (Please be aware that these foods lost color last month, but we are putting them here so that everyone's aware!)
  
  
• From drops: Pink Peppercorns, Salmon, heads of hammers, crushed red pepper, regular pepper, garter snakes

If there are any questions, please ask them here, so that we don’t miss any. Thank you, everyone!
