voidtreckerooc | June Information and CR Meme

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

IC Month

This month is still the month of Llama. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is "With every falling apart, there is a coming together".

This means: Any thread with someone your character has never met before in-game will earn you two bonus points during May and June.

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

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

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

The Train

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!

We would also like to give a quick reminder about the two styles of network we have in game. On the train we have the ICPs these can send messages to the whole train or a specific carriage or sleeper cabin. They are video or voice only! For more information on the ICPs please look here

When on missions the character's SCAs work as comm devices, allowing voice chatter and there is always a comm-specific post for that. For more information on the SCAs please look here.

Important Dates

This month’s event will be a train event on the 12th and 13th of June.

The TDM will be posted on the 16th. Reserves will open on the 18th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th, and AC will run between the same dates.

For a reference, please consult our calendar post. For player-led events, please see the player plot calendar.

Other Info

Thank you once again to both Ree and Nat for their wonderful NPC work in the last mission! If anyone wishes to sign up to help with NPCing on missions please go here!

Our new players (and old players who want a refresher) might find it useful to read gameplay before the platform. As always the mods are happy to answer any questions you might have.

We're delighted to announce that Ree will be joining the modteam as a mission assistant! This formalises a lot of what she has already been doing the last few months both as an NPC handler and helping with boss battles and other big mission events. It also means there will be a third person available to ask questions about missions and give out further information which should help things run a bit smoother and make sure everyone can be as involved as they wish to be!

Ree also made a shiny premise page too, which can be used to help recruit new players.

Points have been updated on the Roster.

Name: Dirge
Contact info: Discord Sixthclone#0299

Character: Handsome Jack AI
About them: Once the ridiculously rich CEO of a weapons manufacturing company with a god complex, now an AI of himself on account of getting killed. That train was nice enough to give him a robot body. Ultra capitalist, super charismatic, a huge jerk, a fundamentally damaged person, technically brilliant, extremely selfish, funny, overprotective, and a wee bit paranoid.
Plans: In the future I want to get him some upgrades for his body. Gonna work on that with Entrapta and V. After the last event, Jack is dealing with a bit of an existential crisis, so he's going to be a bit unstable. I have a plot lined up with V involving some more body-snatching shenanigans. Eventually he'll need to talk with Cherry about what was done to Rich.
CR wanted: New CR! Anyone he hasn't done anything with before and also of course new people coming in on the platform. More friends, more enemies.
Things to avoid: Jack is not the nicest person. If you do not want your character to be harassed by him or have any other negative CR with Jack, you can absolutely opt out of interaction with him. I have a place on my permissions post where you can tell me there too if you want to opt out of negative CR with him.
