March Information and CR meme!

[voidtreckermods]

We hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.

IC Month

This month is the month of Kazoo. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is "A journey well shared is a journey well enjoyed".

This means: Varied CR. The first thread with each character set in the month of Kazoo will earn you two bonus points during March and April.

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during April AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC!

The ingredient of the month is tomato. Recipes are here. All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom and characters are welcome to make other food with them.

This month’s chore assignments are:
Blue: Laundry
Purple: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms
Red: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Orange: Meal Preparation

The Train

As the month moves onto the month of Kazoo, the train will stop to pick up new passengers. When everyone rejoins the train they will find a new sleeper carriage.

As a reminder, you can list things that characters have added to the train here. Just comment under the header of the carriage you are adding to!

Important Dates

This month’s event will be a world event on the 11th - 25th of March. (An info and plotting post will go up on the 7th)

The TDM will be posted on the 16th. Reserves will open on the 18th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th. AC will run from the 23rd to the 30th of March.

Other Info

We now have a Permissions Directory page for character permissions posts that have specific requirements or warnings, or need opt-ins or information from other players.

As it is a mission month we would like to remind you about our NPC handler roles. Sign up is here!

Also for those wanting to plan things in game,please remember the player plot calender to help make sure everyone knows what is happening and when!

I HERD U WERE MAKIN SOME DRONES

Murderbot will be all over that project once it hears about that, for the record. Or at least sticking its nose in to it while trying not to be obvious about such.

Yup! That's part of the hard-light hologram study. Her idea is to create drones that can generate holographic versions of people in areas they wouldn't be able to reach normall because of either space or danger and still be able to work.

For basic bitch humans this would require a VR headset but I bet Murderbot could just handle it remotely.

[securityconsultant]

Yeah, easily; might be a good test subject, so to speak, to make sure the code itself is working before they move in to the UI for scrubs others. I don't think it's familiar with hardlight so that in itself would be interesting, application/implication wise; so long as Entrapa doesn't try, IDK, hugging it, we can definitely get this working out :D

Luckily for Murderbot, where she lies on the spectrum canonically puts her in a place where she'd rather pat someone from a distance with her hair than provoke a hug. She has to *really* like you to go for a hug.
