voidtreckermodsMISSION 17: OOC DETAILS
It's that time again. Mission begins 13th March (7 Quicksand) and lasts until the 26th. There will be a start log on the 13th, and then Ongoing on the 21st (11 Quicksand). A conclusion post will go up on the 26th March.
But before we get into the mission itself, we do need to address a change being made.
!! PLEASE READ !! NOTE: A NEW MISSION SYSTEM.
ABOUT ¤ As you saw above, there is no finale post mentioned. That's because we're testing out a new system, where we will be putting more emphasis on the completion of team goals deciding a mission's outcome without a big boss battle. We want to reward people's efforts for threading, and to give more breathing room to do tasks. This is not planned to completely take over our normal mission system, but if it works we will look into using both, depending on which one works best for the plot of the mission we have planned.
MORE OBJECTIVES ¤ Since we're trying something new, we will be keeping this mission simple, with no escalation on our parts - promise! There will be additional choices to choose between from team objectives (a maximum of three), to hopefully give more for characters to pick from. If your character has the idea to do something not listed but that's helpful, let us know - we will be calculating what's being done and what isn't to decide the mission's outcome.
As such, during Ongoing, we will give an idea of areas that are getting better, but what might be lacking. So most objectives will carry over, but we may throw in a few more.
PROOF ¤ We will have a post where people can let us know what tasks their characters are focusing on, or have worked towards.
This is what we're looking for:
Some tasks will have a higher priority over others, and it will usually depend on the mission and objectives which will be more important.
REWARDS ¤ Characters will still only receive points for threads with 10 comments total. We hope the new list of objectives will give people better ideas of what Team Colour the task they're doing falls under. (We also want to properly reward the cooks and healers for their jobs!)
Thanks for reading the above. You can leave us any questions below, but for now - click below for your mission of Quicksand!

PROOF ¤ We will have a post where people can let us know what tasks their characters are focusing on, or have worked towards.
This is what we're looking for:
- A check-in that tells us what your character focused on during Starting and Ongoing. No links required.
- Link to all threads done, who with and which task(s). Any length is fine, but threads with five comments is perfect! If you don't have a thread for a task your character would have done, just note it down.
Some tasks will have a higher priority over others, and it will usually depend on the mission and objectives which will be more important.
REWARDS ¤ Characters will still only receive points for threads with 10 comments total. We hope the new list of objectives will give people better ideas of what Team Colour the task they're doing falls under. (We also want to properly reward the cooks and healers for their jobs!)
