OOC: Welcome Back!


OOC: Welcome Back!


Welcome Back
We left the lights on for you...

After long thought (and work) Last Resort is going to start up again. Here are the changes that we're making to both improve the game and make it easier on upkeep.

  • Applications are set up differently now. They include a brief interview rather than a personality section. The appable characters are available on that page.

  • The jobs page is simpler and meant to be manually filled out now, like the contact page is.

  • The game will be seasonal again. It will run the course of a plot arc, go on a break, and start up with the next plot arc. Activity will remain fairly lenient, but to push the story it's still important. Group logs will be put up with each event.

  • We're raising the possibility of putting in character inboxes as a game mechanic, since players seem hesitant to use the network community. If we did this, rather than being posted to journals the inbox would be posted to the network community and linked on the taken page along with the tag "inbox" (to make threads easier to find later). Players could use whatever format they liked for their inbox.

  • We now have zombies, on top of the spiders and creepers and skeletons and have other discoveries planned for the season. Details relating to it are on the most recent news post.

  • Surprisingly the Quarantine is gone (as it did the game no favors) and a curfew has taken its place. There are no longer issues with supply and equipment shortages, unless specific short-lived plots lead to it.



During the first run players had a lot of fun together, and we hope this new season can recapture some of that mood, along with more strange plots. Our test drive is up and I hope everyone has fun. The game itself will open Jan. 2nd, after the holiday rush, with lots of room to app and play around before then.
