Hey there, Community!
Work, school, and life slowly wiggle their way into the life of REMNANTS - but we keep on trekking through! There’s not a lot to go over for this update, but there’s definitely enough to warrant posting something! The two big pieces of news this month - the Vytal Festival and the AP System!
So first on the list - that sweet, sweet Vytal Festival everyone has been waiting for!
Officially launching two days ago with the beginning of the Vytal Tournament’s first round! Three matches are currently running, they are:
Max Chromium vs. Mitha’lo Asters
Aegle Vitus vs. Mizumi Tai
Azure van Hamelin vs Raven Clovis
The exact length of these matches is hard to determine, though each participant is given 72 hours from the time of their opponent’s post to respond or risk forfeiture. If problems persist as a result, or things drag on too long, we may have to alter the rules a bit to keep things rolling.
In addition to the tournament, the Festival grounds are now open for role play - all threads of which will be counted towards the canonicity of the site under Episode 6, unless you don’t want them to. The Vytal Festival will run through the months of December and January, ending with the Amity Ball (which will be open to anyone that wishes to participate). Following this, we will move on to Episode 7 - which is intended to introduce four-man teams back into Vytal Academy after several years of the Academy only dealing in pairs! These four man teams will serve a major role in the plot of our “Volume One” arc.
The next order of business has been a subject of debate for a while now - the Aura Points (AP) System. A poll has been running for just over a week, with the last vote registered exactly one week ago. With no additional input in such a broad length of time, the poll will be closing with the final results being.
Keep, tweak: 4 (57.14%)
Replace: 1 (14.29%)
Remove: 2 (28.57%)
Leave it: 0 (0%)
Without staff votes, it stands that a system will remain in place - though it will be adjusted. The staff, in preparation for this, have started work on suitable alternatives that should - hopefully - benefit all players across the site. Member’s ShadowBright, Jazzy and Onyx offered strong responses that are being taken into consideration when piecing this new system together, which should hopefully be prepared prior to the start of the “Volume One” arc, if not sooner.
Other than the above, there’s not much more that has to be touched on! If there’s anything you think that should be brought up in an update, or discussed among the community and staff, feel free to let us know!
See you next time,
