HELLO MY MORPHIN PEEPS!! As recently discussed, apps for new players are now open once again! Now that we’ve finally gotten the game rolling a bit, it’s time to bring in some new additions to the anti-Yeerk resistance, and I’m excited to expand our cast to include an even wider variety of absolutely trash resistance fighters! Here’s how apps for new characters will work for the game now that we’ve squeaked past the initial game start period.

Since Alternamorphs is a semi-private game that we’d like to keep smallish, players are generally invited to app. If you’re interested in apping but you haven’t spoken to me about it, I encourage you to do so! However, since there are some people who have been waiting a while (actual months) to jump in the action, if there’s enough interest you may be asked to wait a little while, or your character may not be intro’d right off the bat. This depends entirely on how many people wind up apping in over the next few weeks, so it might not be an issue at all.

Since this is post-game start, how each additional character winds up joining the resistance will be handled on an individual basis. There’s a section for how your character finds out about/joins the resistance in the current version of the app; this can be threaded out if you want, but you’re free to handwave it if you want. Just as long as we have a rough idea of how it happened for continuity reasons! Multiple characters are free to have group scenarios for joining up as long as everyone’s on the same page for it, too.

Right now there isn’t a hard-and-fast cap for how many characters are allowed in the game; rather, I’d like to see how the game feels as it grows bit by bit and close apps/set a cap as needed. To this end, I’d like to avoid introing large groups of characters all at once, but that said, there is most definitely room in the game for at least a few more characters, and I’m excited to bring new people and characters into the game!

As always, you can contact me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] runawayballista if you’ve got any questions, or leave a comment here. In theory I also lurk in the AIM chat itsmorphintime when I’m home. I’m happy to help hash out any AU or resistance-joining details if you’re not sure or want to make sure something flies. The app process here is not especially rigorous; the apps serve more as character sheets for my modding purposes, and a chance for me to veto anything that doesn’t fit with the game setting. Alternamorphs runs on the rule of fun!

GOOD DAY PLAYERPALS! Mission signups have been closed for the first mission, so here are the final teams:

Team Alpha
  • Ed Hancock
  • Heather Morris
  • Eridan Ampora

Team Beta
  • Malka Ofir
  • Kitty Callahan

Infiltration Team
  • Ed Hancock
  • Malka Ofir

As the infiltration team, Malka and Ed were the ones Tespil/Lirathil instructed in the use of the GPR devices; however, feel free to have had your character also receive instruction if you please. If you somehow missed the signups and still want in on the mission, let me know ASAP; if you’d like something plotty for your character to do that isn’t this mission, then also let me know and I can set something up. Alternatively, feel free to have your character do something not modplot related. Run free, my guerilla warfare children.

The actual log for the mission will go up soon, probably within the next few days. Each team will be assigned to scout out a different pre-determined area in the city. Which team gets which scouting option will probably be decided by RNG/coin toss, because your mod is an indecisive weeniebutt.

As always, if you have any questions feel free to leave them here!

ETA: Apps for new players will also be reopening when the first mission log goes up! This is particularly for players who have been waiting a while to get in on the game. EXCITEMENT!!!

Hey guys, Madimod here! First off: sorry about the delays to getting things at this game up and running. There were a few OOC hiccups and a few poor mod decisions on my end, but from now on hopefully the game should be less bottlenecked pace-wise. Why’s that, you ask, your human pupils dilated wide with curiosity and interest? COMMUNICATORS!!!

That’s right, folks! We’re still backtagging the log, but as of now in-game Tespil has completed construction on the custom-made communicators she promised and has distributed them to all members of the resistance. Now that she has the parts, she’ll be able to produce them for any future incoming members of the resistance as well. Here’s a little bit about the communicators:

HEY GUYS ITS NOT A REAL GAME UNTIL WE HAVE MEMES, RIGHT

here's a 3x meme combo for YOUR ENJOYMENT & ENTERTAINMENT, GO WILD MY YOUNG FRIENDS

CLOTHING MEME

What does your character wear, what's their UNIQUE STYLE?? Talk about your character's fashion sense or pronounced lack thereof (Eridan) (we mean you, Eridan) or, for an ADDED VISUAL AID +5 BONUS, make a polyvore collage!

IPOD MEME

What sweet jams does your character listen to? What about podcasts, audiobooks? Do they sing along in public or just in the shower when they think no one's listening? Bust any SICK MOVES?? Better yet, how are they with KARAOKE. Post links for extra fun!!!

QUESTIONS MEME

Post your character; other players will comment with questions they have about your character OOCly. Answer the questions, share headcanon and AU details, HAVE LOTS OF FUN

Hey guys, Madi here with some announcements and info for game start! Please read this post, it's got lots of important information for the game's opening!

First off, as you know, the deadline for apps for game start was last night! If you missed the cutoff, never fear -- apps will reopen in a couple of weeks once the game has gotten rolling, exact date TBD. Everyone who's already submitted their apps: I'll be reviewing them and responding shortly, so sit tight!!

Of interest to everyone, but especially those who haven't submitted apps yet: some changes have been made to the application. Nothing huge or earth-shaking, but on Harry's suggestion I've expanded the Invasion section to include how your characters comes about joining the resistance (for characters not present at game start), and added a section for listing NPCs relevant to your character (which is more or less optional and also more for my benefit). If you've already submitted your app, don't worry! You don't have to redo anything. But if you feel like adding the NPC section to your existing app, feel free!

I've also added some valuable information to the rules & FAQ page that I recommend checking out! And if you haven't read any of the info pages yet, I recommend checking them out. If you have any questions, feel free to post them to the FAQ page, this post, or hit me up through more direct means.

Regarding pre-game CR: as has already been mentioned, you can keep any threads from the test drive meme that take place prior to game start as canon CR for your characters! But if you didn't post to the test drive, no worries, you can still establish pre-game CR with other characters if you like! There's a thread header in this post for hashing things out amongst yourselves if you like. Pre-game CR is not required by any stretch of the imagination, but it does make things more interesting, particularly for the intro log. Speaking of which...

The game will officially open sometime this week with an intro log, which will involve all characters currently in the game! (Hence the need for an app cutoff!) But as you might have guessed, that is a LOT OF CHARACTERS, so I've come up with a solution to keep the log from getting bogged down with huge party threading. The intro log, as you might have guessed, is your characters' first encounter with Tespil, the Andalite-Controller who starts the resistance on Earth, and the beginnings of the resistance. In order to keep the party threading to a minimum, the log will be broken into three parts (under separate thread headers):

1) Characters will all arrive on the scene of Tespil's crash landing, and she'll give a big ol' exposition dump speech about the situation. This'll be the only actual thread with every character in it, but I don't expect each character to have more than 2-3 tags each for this thread. The idea is to keep the unwieldy threading to a minimum, so it'll end when Tespil's exposition dump does.

2) Q&A with Tespil! Once she's done explaining the situation, your characters will have some time to process what the shit just went on and then, of course, bombard her with questions. Presumably these will be one-on-one (or perhaps two-on-one, if you so please) threads with Tespil.

3) Mingling time! Feel free to have your characters join in mutual boggling at the situation after Tespil's exposition speeches, while other characters ask her questions. This way everybody gets a chance to react to the bizarre circumstances in a group fashion without everyone needing to be part of the same thread!

Okay, that about does it for announcements. Let me know if you've got any questions. The intro log will go up sometime this week, pending how busy my work schedule is. I'm so excited you guys!! SO EXCITED.

Hey everybody, Madi here! Feel free to join the OOC comm with your character journals; membership is open and doesn't require approval. Watch here for important game announcements and updates from me, and if you need to make an announcement to your fellow players, or just introduce yourselves, here's a good place to do that too!

Just a few reminders to you all: although everyone who was in game chat is still absolutely welcome to join, the cutoff deadline to get your apps in for game start is the end of next week! If you don't get your apps in by the cutoff for game start, no worries! You can still app in after game start once the game gets rolling a bit, but due to the way we're opening the game (i.e., the initial group forming the resistance all meeting Tespil when she crash-lands to Earth) I need everyone who wants to be at game start in by the cutoff. If you app in after game start, your character will just be brought into the resistance in a different manner.

Also, we still have a game chat on AIM at itsmorphintime! I know I haven't been in there lately because I have been hella busy with life stuff, but I intend to start lurking in there again. Not mandatory, but a good place to hang out OOCly!

As always, let me know if you have any questions. Good luck on your apps!!
