Thank you all for joining! We're really glad to have you and hopefully we'll have some more on their way. Assuming that you all know the basic info available in the navigation, if you have any other questions feel free to ask here or on the FaQ! If we don't know the answer it gives us a chance to work one out.
Introductory Plot: "Psychic Flatulence"
In our first news post (which you can ICly respond to and make comment threads off of like you can comment to web articles, though Jeffers himself won't respond), there's mention of an outbreak of a minor illness, the Neuralflu...
"Symptoms of the Neuralflu include headaches, sinus pressure, and a desaturation of colors. Those infected also become prone to psychic flatulence, colloquially known as "brainfarts", where someone in close proximity may occasionally hear one of your thoughts. The effects of psychic flatulence can be mitigated by the wearing of a tinfoil hat."
Your characters can have random thoughts broadcast to people nearby if they're afflicted. This means the other person can maybe catch the Neuralflu too (but they don't have to). This will be logged down as recurring illness for anyone new that wants to come in and catch it. For people that do get it, they'll have seasonal (four month) immunity after it passes.
Getting to Know You This is both a plotting post for our first event and a way to introduce yourselves. Since some people will have had characters meet in previous games, it's alright if players assume their characters have been here for up to a month and have met (this counts threads on the Test Drive). Meetings in enough games can get repetitive, even if they're not CRAUs. This is mostly for people whose characters haven't formally been introduced, though, and will count for the first full week of people joining (new members will be directed back to this post). So you can discuss how your characters met/know each other/have CR here. Or you can work out who you'd like to meet!
So go on and introduce yourselves and say a little bit about who you're dragging in. Also remember the jobs listings, because knowing who does what is going to be really helpful in our planning.
Bertie has probably screamed at least once upon seeing Charon. I'm sorry Charon. (But once he gets over it, he's good for chatting at even unsociable people.)
And Narvin is another really damn old grumpy workaholic who appears to barely sleep. (But his poor social skills range somewhat towards the "offending people and making enemies" side rather than just grumpy and unsociable, so it's a toss up whether they could be grumpy bros or if throwing their grumpy selves together would just lead to mutual dislike.)
HAHA. It's okay Bertie Charon is expecting this kind of reaction a lot. But at least he's capable of...sort of responding to chattiness at the start!
Charon doesn't offend too easily, at least! And when he does get offended he tends to get over it fairly quickly because who has the time to make enemies. But it'll be interesting to see which way it goes.
