AC Submission Form | AC Spreadsheet | Previous AC

Hello everyone, and welcome to Awash’s October AC post! AC will be open all month long, and can be submitted until October 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. 10/3/18

[awashmods]

Hello everyone, and welcome to October's monthly mod post! Here are your color changes and news for the upcoming month!

Mechanics

• First off, AC has completed and has been processed. AC is now open for October. October's AC Post can be found here. Thank you to everyone who completed AC!
  
  
• Applications will open again in November, from November 1st to November 7th. As before, there will be no reserves period.
  
  
• With how heavy last month's event was, this month's event will be a little lighter -- but hopefully still very useful for further exploring your CR and the setting!
  
  
• For fun, here's the current color breakdown in Awash: 24 Yellow, 35 Blue and 33 Red characters.

Quests

• Quests for October 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. Only quests for this month can be turned in for a reward.
  
  
• 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 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 Timeline):

Color Gains:

• New characters have had their text color restored in the color of their hexcode, and their house colors restored.
  
  
• Because all of the quests were completed this past month, characters may notice that the color of snow has been restored. At least, they'll notice if it snows soon (oh no). Congratulations!
  
  
• Because quest 27 was completed, the color of trees has been restored. Please note something very important: only the trees within the Town have had their colors restored. The trees of the woods outside of the Town have remained suspiciously colorless. This applies to the colors of fall leaves restored last month as well.
  
  
• Because quest 27 was completed by an additional 10 characters, everyone has received an additional reward! Characters will find in their home one small item from home. This can be anything from food to medicine to a piece of clothing to something totally pointless -- just be reasonable, and keep in mind that it's one thing only!
  
  
• Additionally, each character has received up to two pieces of winter clothing from their color log. Please choose two threads from your color log from the past month -- the mix of the colors of characters involved in the thread will be the color of the clothing item. What items they receive are entirely up to you: they can be anything from mittens to scarves to hoodies and anything in between, and don't have to be old timey at all!
  
  Please note that these are not changing the color of every piece of that clothing in Awash, just giving each character a personally colored item or two!

Color Losses:

• From drops: turkey, and fire is now down to two colors -- this color has disappeared from your flames!

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