And then we play Eye of the Tiger during the training montage...

Hey guys! So sometime soon-ish, namely when I stop being lazy and write it up, Amy will be making a tablet post asking if anybody would be interested in putting together a sort of intramural sports team. If enough people join, then they can split into two or multiple teams to play all sorts of sports with each other.

I'm assuming the gym in the Sanctuary has balls, bats, whatever they need, and if not, they could just hatch equipment. For most things, they can play outside at a nondescript field or something, and I would think the Sanctuary gym has a basketball court, maybe a big pool? Would this be accurate, mods, or would there be a reason you guys wouldn't specifically want the Sanctuary to contain these places?

So anyway, since Amy is declaring herself the head of this little project, she'd contact people, maybe ask them to vote on what game they would want to play, get them to practice for a few weeks, then have a game.

This is where you guys come in. I wasn't sure if you'd prefer to do this sort of thing in the background like, "Oh yeah, Character A is a mechanic and in his free time he plays team sports," or if I should set up a free-for-all party post type of situation where those involved actually play a game and spectators come watch. I'm gonna say right now that, unlike Amy, I'm not much of a leader so I'm open to ideas on how to organize such a thing and if the winners should be picked beforehand and we play it out or what.

So basically what I'm saying is I have a nifty idea, and no idea about the proper way to execute it! HALP?

GAME HMD RESPONSE

[taxonmods]

Thank you so much to everyone that responded to our HMD! We got some wonderful glitch suggestions and ideas for improvement, and we are very grateful to know what direction you guys want us to go in.

We do have some specific conclusions this HMD has lead us to that we want to share with you:

THE WIKI: For now, we'll be keeping it just as it is. Changing it and the character box size would be a lot of work both in editing and in researching wiki codes to make sure we're doing it right, and while we may have time to do so in the future it isn't a large enough problem to fuss with right now. We will bring this up in other HMDs in case you guys change your minds or it does become a larger problem later on.

As for the front page, we'll begin working on revamping it in the coming weeks! We took note of all your input about what you'd like to see there, and if you ever think of something else we can add just let us know.

JUNE'S GLITCH: Thank you especially for all your input regarding the Sanctuary event/glitch. We hope the changes we've made to it will satisfy everyone's concerns, and if they don't then just let us know and we'll do what we can to make it an enjoyable event for you!

Right now, the plan is for the event to last for three weeks in June. Instead of robot babies, we're going to have two of the aliens stuck inside the Sanctuary with the characters. They'll be totally catch-able and interrogate-able, and once we've got the whole thing ready and up on SOTT we'll start planning with you on how your characters will deal with them.

Concerning the OOC discussion about locations and the new map, we'll be putting up a new post about it in the next few days. There you can either sign up to have your location(s) in a specific district or let us know that you're okay with us picking a random location on our own.

FUTURE GLITCHES: In the next few weeks we'll be transferring our big list of potential glitches to a page on the wiki. There you can edit in glitches or just ideas whenever they strike you, and we'll always consult it when planning for the months ahead.

Also, since you've expressed a desire for more serious glitches and events, we'll try working toward them more in the next few months. If you have any ideas for more serious plots, glitches, or events, even ones that you'd like to run yourself instead of handing off to the mods, don't hesitate to let us know. We'll do everything we can to make it happen for you.

Really, thank all of you so much not only for your participation in the HMD but in being a part of the game. We wouldn't be mods without players, and you are truly a fantastic group. Don't forget that if you have anything in between these game HMD's that you want to bring to our attention, the complaints and suggestions posts are always open.
