Bring out the Clones

[computerized]

There are some exciting things in the works behind the scenes here at Alpha, mostly thanks to the ideas and suggestions of you awesome players. I can't say enough how much I appreciate your input and excitement for the game. I am blown away by you guys on a daily basis.

But enough gushing! Below are some top levels to give you an opportunity to ask questions, give some feedback and basically spread the Alpha love.

Alpha OCs.
Ever wanted to create an Alpha native who didn't get the special treatment and had to work their way up from the INFRARED vats? This will soon be a possibility! What we need to know is what information you need from us and Alpha to help shape these OC backgrounds/histories. What do you need to know about their childhoods? About Alpha dating customs? About the fastest way to be promoted from the vats? Ask all your Alpha questions here.

Tropes, Plots & More.
Have an idea for a gamewide plot? Dream about making a trope come true for one of your characters? Have an awesome idea for a secret society coup? This is where you can make suggestions, or seek out collaborators to make your plot dreams come true.

Adoptable NPCs
The goal of Alpha NPCs isn't to steal the show, but to help further plots and pass down information to characters in game. They are to act as external forces to help characters and story-lines move forward. That said, there is enough going on in Alpha that they may need to be played every once in a while for entertainment or plot purposes. This is just a list of NPCs that have been mentioned in game and are available as you may need them. These NPCs are also available for any player who would like to temporarily adopt them to play them against other players. Just let me know if you need them/would like to use them.

Alpha Love
As the mod, I get to hear all the awesome feedback you guys have for the game and for each other, but this is a post where you guys can just love on each other's characters and the awesome CR you've managed to build in such a small amount of time. Don't be shy!

Waiting Period for Additional Characters updated!

[computerized]

One more announcement.

The rules have been updated to allow more flexibility in applying for second and third characters.

Under Playable Characters, rule #9b has been updated to say the following:

The player must have met activity check requirements for the current activity check period for each of their current characters or wait until successfully passing their first full activity check period for their most recently applied character before applying for another.

As a reminder, the minimum activity is as follows:

Minimum activity level is one network or log starter and 10 network comments or 5 log comments in a thread begun by another player. If you do not have 10 network comments in one thread, you may substitute two separate threads as long as combined they equal 15 network comments from your character. This is required for each character, per activity check.
