You have ONE WEEK from the time your application is accepted to post either a journal entry or take place in a log.
Please stay active!

If you're looking for open logs, please try here All open logs should be tagged with "open" so they should be included on this list. Mods regularly check posts to add or remove open tags if people have not done so, but please try and remember to do it yourself to cut down on our workload and to make sure we don't miss any!

Thanks and happy playing!!

Hey guys, if everyone currently involved in the RP could just make sure that all of their information has been posted to all the relevant lists. Those include the following:

Taken Characters
Player List
Residences
IC Email list

I've been updating the lists and I'm finding that some players have information on some but not all of them. If there is a reason why your character would either be living on the street or not have an email, please simply let us know so that we know it's not a matter of missed information. Otherwise, please make sure that your information is posted so that we can properly update the lists. Thank you!


On another note, I am currently working on the event calender for Feb, so we should have that available in a few days so that you'll be able to get a preview of upcoming events and make any necessary plans.

Hello everyone! I super-apologize for getting this out so late. Seems there was a bit of miscommunication between mods and I didn't realize the calendar hadn't gone up yet in my rush to pack and move everything! Irregardless, here is your lovely January event calendar!

I'd also like to take a moment to let you all know that we're always taking suggestions for events, which you can leave in comments here, in the ooc comm, or in an email to spiral.rpg.mods @ gmail.com. :D Thanks for all you do!

( Calendar! )

Just a reminder - journals are posted to the network either via a computer or other wireless device. If your character doesn't carry a device on their person that would permit them this ability, then they should refrain from posting journal entries until they have acquired a residence. All residences come equipped with some kind of computer in them. It will be up to the players what sort of set up they encounter (for variety and convenience!).

All computers and devices, will automatically open a journal client upon start-up so there won't be any confusion as to how the characters came across the client. They are welcome to express confusion in journal entries about usage, who will be reading, etc. They are also welcome to assume that entries are private only to discover that they are not, unless set that way. And even then, players may choose to have the computer unlock the entry against their characters wishes.

These computers and mobile devices will also be used by characters to communicate with each other via the spiral_chat communication network. All address books are pre-loaded with the addresses for the residents of the city, but only appear visible to characters once they have met, interacted with, or recieved email from someone. Essentially, this means you can't go "Gee, I wonder who this is. Let's send them an email." Exceptions will be made from time to time - see a mod if you need one of these exceptions or have any questions.

Any questions regarding journals or the network, please leave a comment here.

This is the event calender for the current month. Event days are colour-coded, to differentiate between individual events. An explanation and description of events can be found below. Should you, the players, have any events that you would like to see happen in the game, you may feel free to post comments to this post with your suggestions and we will try to keep them in mind. ^__^


December Calender

December 11-20 - This week and a half marks the beginning of the Gift of Memories event. During this time, any character participating in the event will receive a simple gift. The gift takes the form of a plain, unadorned, nondescript white package in an unspecified size. There is no tag, no label, nothing to indicate whom this gift originates from. Gifts may be found anywhere in the City, though each participating character may only receive one gift. Upon opening their gift, participating characters will find within it an item of great personal value from their home world. It may be a picture, an heirloom, a talisman, something forgotten or lost. Items can be any shape or size, though excessively large or overly-complex items are discouraged and may be subject to mod approval. Items may NOT be any living creature or person. Upon receiving their item, participating characters will pay a "price" of memory. So long as they keep the item in question, they will lose a memory. The choice of memory is up to the player, it may be something as insignificant as a favourite food, or something as important as the memory of an important person. The affected character will be unaware of the fact that their memory has been lost, however they may feel an odd sense of deja vu, or feel as though they have forgotten something important. This memory loss will continue as long as the character retains the object, giving this the potential to be permanent. If the item is disposed of, the memory that is lost will eventually return, however the amount of time it takes for the memory to return is directly proportional to the amount of time they spent without the memory. There is no limit to this event, and should a player wish, their character's memory loss may be permanent. If players wish, they may elect to have their character's memory loss be progressive, but be advised that should you choose this option, the memories will NOT come back after the item is disposed of, and the memory loss will become permanent.

December 22 - Ghost of Christmas Past
On this day, characters will find themselves haunted by a spector of their past. It can be a deceased comrade, a former friend, or whatever. The only requirement is that this is not meant to be a 'fun' haunting, but rather a way for ghosts of a character's past to come back and torment them.

December 24-25 - Gothic Christmas Party
The Church has outdone themselves this time, and has decked a portion of the City out in exquisite gothic decor. Festivities begin at sundown Christmas Eve, and last all through until midnight on the 25th.

December 31 - New Years Eve
It will start to snow heavily at exactly midnight.

HI

This is just a note letting you guys know that I seriously screwed up the friends add list when I first coded it and added a lot of things that aren't being used.

It has been fixed now, so if you could please go over and use the friends add/remove, that would be wonderful. XD

At the very least, please remove spiral_talk (we will be using spiral_chat for Communication), spiral_logs (we will be using spiral_rpg to post logs), and church_of_sin (we will be using spiral_church for this NPC).

ALSO, I mistakenly added the incorrect journal for Phoenix Wright, so please remove wrightobjection and add willplay4juice.

Phew! Sorry about that! Welcome to all our new players!

ALSO, there was mistakenly a note that the game was starting December 10th, however, we've changed that, so the game is officially OPEN! You can post and play as soon as you'd like. ^^

It's unfortunate, but sometimes it happens -- a player begins to lose handle on their character. Many times, the players themselves cannot see this happening, and don't realize what is going on. Oftentimes, those around them notice it happening -- sometimes legitimately, sometimes by misunderstanding. Either way, inevitably in the scope of an RP, there will be complaints about out of character behaviour. Our goal as mods is to turn these complaints into something that can be worked out constructively and completely anonymously, to resolve any issues that may arise.

So! Without further ado, here is the process we take when addressing complaints on OOC behaviour.

Alternatively, if you are here to make a complaint, all comments are screened, however, if you are more comfortable discussing via email, please contact the mods at spiral.rpg.mods @ gmail .com.

( Our Policy )

This policy applies to each character a player has -- not the player in general. If a player has Character A and Character B, and they receive two complaints on Character A and one on Character B, this does not make that player out of the game. Three strikes per character.

Again, if you would like to make a complaint, you can do so here or through mod email. Please use either of these methods (as opposed to IM) so we have a record of the complaint in our email inbox that can be referred to during mod meetings.

Thank you! Hopefully, we won't need this too much. :3

These are the rules for Spiral RPG.

PLEASE READ THEM before you apply!!

Offenses will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis -- it is highly likely that a player will be warned on the first offense, however, subsequent offenses can result in being removed from the game, depending on the severity.

If you're looking for our policy regarding a player running their character OOCly, that can be found here.

( These are the rules! )

Post here with character you'd like to see join the RP and we'll post them up here!
(Ones with stars next to them are currently on hold.)

( Please join the City! )

This is a list of all the taken characters in Spiral RPG.
