ACTIVITY CHECK [ game opening - 2010.09.15 ]

[singularitymods.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the ACTIVITY CHECK! Everyone loves those! Right?

For this activity check, if you were accepted before September 15th, please comment confirming that you're still around. That's it! You have until September 22nd to respond. Players who fail to comment in that time will have all characters dropped and removed from the Taken list.

Please contact us personally if you need an exception or are requesting one on someone's behalf.

You can also use this post as an open HMD (HOD?) for the game itself. Thoughts on progress? Questions or concerns? We'll be doing a general housekeeping post (as well as notes on an upcoming mini-event) sometime later in the month so any feedback is very much appreciated.

• creepersphere (Halo)
• dismembers (AvP)
• cohesions (Mass Effect)
• judgments (Silent Hill)

All accounted for, I believe. Hurp durp and please do yell at me if anyone has anything to say about my characterization--there are also anon-enabled, screened HMDs on all my journals.

Question

[isonny.livejournal.com]

How fantastical is this setting?
Is there going to be fantasy elements involved with future plots or just strictly Scifi?

Have all the events already been decided? Is there a set number of ones we'll have?

[windowsftl.livejournal.com]

So, I actually do not remember if I was accepted before the 14th.

But I'm still here! (Sakura from Narutaru/windowsftl)

And while I have not been here for any events yet, I feel that the setting and mystery are very satisfying and I can't wait to see what happens next. ♥

1. We've generally considered Singularity as being located strongly in the sci-fi genre, but we use a lot of speculative and theoretical science, like string theory and membrane theory. This allows us to kind of accommodate the supernatural by saying it has a scientific foundation, like with string resonance.

Which is a very nerdy way of saying that we'll see some fantasy and horror elements in future events, yes, but they'll have a sci-fi-y explanation. \o/

2. Without giving too much away, we have a general trajectory for the game but the exact shape that future events take will depend a great deal on player involvement. There is not a set number we have laid out.

[isonny.livejournal.com]

Okay. So I'm not making requests or anything, but for example, could their be wish granting events or body/personality switches or something like that?

Those are examples i've pulled from other games. I was just curious.

[demotivate.livejournal.com]

Bodyswaps are something we've considered! I'm not sure how personality switches would work, but we're planning some players choice events at some point as well, so you should definitely hold onto that one.

As for wish-granting, er, there's a great deal of wish-fulfillment already possible through the technology, so would it be something specific the station can't do?

[isonny.livejournal.com]

I wasn't making suggestions at all! I just couldn't think of any other examples to properly illustrate my question.

But if you were asking, on that note, I kind of would like to have Sonny get something from his world. I'm sure he can always find it in the junkyard though.

[demotivate.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, sorry if I came off presumptive! o7 But yeah, your character can usually find anything from his homeworld in the junkyard, as long as it's not another appable character or something that's going to kill everyone, that sort of thing.

wat

[windowsftl.livejournal.com]

okay wait yeah i do have a question. why do i think of it now

I believe I mentioned this in my app: the character I joined the game with basically has two bodies. One is her own body, and the other is a weird Pokemon thing. Which...sometimes moves around on its own. Yeah. ANYWAY. I was wondering if, at some point in the future (and I don't know when, if at all, really, but I figured it's good to have a reference), I could portray the Pokemon dragonet in-game?

I assumed the creature, Ensof, was brought to the space station with the girl because they're technically one person: if one is hungry then the other is hungry, you kill one and the other dies, etc. But, I don't want to extend that kind of assumption to logging/gameplay without mod confirmation first, so I'd just like to make 100% certain of it first. Thanks in advance ♥

Also, thoughts on Garrus, herp derp.

[demotivate.livejournal.com]

Hey there,

So, I'm only about halfway through the manga but based on your app he's sort of like a dark side of her personality, yes? So yeah, you're more than welcome to log/thread as both!

I'm still here. I've just been violently ill lately due to withdrawal from certain medications.

Sorry. I'll get active again soon.

No need to apologize, duder, we're just happy you're here!
