03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
Hello to all the members who have decided to come back and give SITW another go with me! I'm really looking forward to getting a little modern day themed fun going on here!
I've made a few changes that you will want to know about before we dive back in. Please take the time to check them out: - Plot! You may remember that there was a secret plot about all the supernatural occurrences in Sweetwater actually being caused by drugs leaked into the systems by a lab testing pharmaceutical company. This is no longer the case! Everything odd and strange that happens is real. Or is it? Depends on who you ask in town.
- New species! While formally only humans were allowed to be playable characters, I've introduced 4 new species than can be played. Please keep in mind that the requirement is that you have a 1 to 1 ration of supernatural to humans in order to try keep the balance of there not being more supernaturals in town than humans. Yes, your first character CAN be a supernatural. We may further limit supernaturals later on if we feel the need.
Storywise, those are the only changes, but there are a few OOC changes to take note of: 1- Updated skin! I hope you like it!
2- Updated application to accommodate for the new species aspect as well as to fit the skin (namely I took out one of the 4 pics on the top of the app and also removed the pic on the bottom of the app to make things a little easier for you)
3- Updated mini profile to go along with the skin!
YOUR TO-DO LIST
So! What does that mean for you? There are few things I need from you to help this reset go smoothly! I plan to keep only former members returning as my main focus for the first week or two in order to give people time to think through what they want before we invite new folks. So here's what I please need you to do:
1- Join the discord if you haven't already! The link is right under the banner!
2- Read through the new species info, even if you've already done so. Changes and clarifications continued to be added up until you were officially invited back.
3- Go through your characters and decide who you are keeping as they are, who you are revamping, and who you'd like to drop. And do a reply here to let me know what you're planning!
4- All applications have been moved to the WIP board until they have been updated. Please update ALL apps, including the ones for characters you aren't changing. You will need to use the new application form. It is mostly the same, so there are couple of ways to do this depending on what you find easier. Either A) copy in the new code to a new post and then copy paste the information you need from your old app or B) Take out one of the pictures on the top, the one on the bottom, and add in the new species info that is right at the top of the app. If any of this confuses you PLEASE let me know and I'm more than happy to physically get on to help you! <3
5- Once you've completed your apps you'll need to go and update your mini profiles. There is a new code so everything you had before is pretty much broken now, sorry.
6- After all that, please go into the discord and let me know which character apps are now completed in the 'completed characters' channel.
Thank you for being patient as we get this horse back up and running! I promise I'll be here every step of the way to make this as easy as possible so PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out and ask for help! <3
