awashmodsHello to all of our newcomers, and welcome to Awash! Thank you for your interest in the game, and we hope you have a good time here! This is just a quick mod post with two purposes: to help the new people get settled into the game, and to introduce tomorrow's mini-event!

Gameplay Mechanics
Event Log
There Was A Princess
[ 5/8 - 5/12 ]
There are a two major points of note here re: the intro log/event log -- what's happening with the newly arrived characters, and what's happening with the characters as a whole. So let's break it down!
Newly arrived characters will arrive in the well, as always! They'll end up in the bottom of the well, absolutely frigid water coming up to about knee-deep. It's far larger on the inside than it would seem, but either way, the only way up is the top of the well, the opening there. Thankfully, previous characters have long since installed ropes and ladders, and an alarm bell to ring -- it's a bit easier to get yourselves out of there than it used to be.
Thankfully, that part of things is easy. They unfortunately will start to realize that things are weird about this Town basically...immediately.
Because everyone has found themselves a princess this time around. Don't panic, though -- what that means will, in fact, be different for everyone, because there is a wide range of princesses in fairy tales.
Your character might end up with extremely (and I mean extremely) long hair all of a sudden. Perhaps they're in a beautiful gown, or perhaps they've been shoved into rags. Maybe they suddenly can't sleep on any single mattress in the Town because they can feel even the smallest of lumps underneath, or maybe they suddenly have a tendency to be kidnapped by someone else, even though there's really nobody doing the kidnapping.
This goes for locations as well, of course -- your character might suddenly find themselves locked in a tower in the woods for no apparent reason; it just happens, because now they're that kind of princess. Maybe you have to sacrifice your voice for something or just fall into a big long sleep -- these things just happen sometimes.
Effects can stack, stories can be twisted, and you can be as creative as you'd like; so long as it's vaguely princess-like in some way, it can absolutely happen to your character.
Any costumes, props or the like that appear due to your character's new princess life will stick around after the event, but big setting changes (like said towers in the woods) will fade away. The intro log will be up tomorrow, 5/8!
After this log, new characters will be welcome to create logs and posts as you please! Please be sure to read over the FAQ once more before you begin playing.
As ever, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here. Thank you, and welcome again to the game!
AC
- New characters must submit half-AC.
- Those requirements, as well as the AC post, can be found here.
- Please be sure to also read the general AC guidelines, here! It is very important that you do, as we will not be granting AC exemptions due to the capped nature of the game.
Gameplay Mechanics
- Character housing, now that the application round is over, can be found here! This is where characters can find their laptops, though they are by no means required to stay there; they can move at will, and their laptop will function in whatever new home they pick. The spreadsheet is editable, so please feel free to move your characters around!
- Quests can be done by incoming players at any point once they have been introed. Quests can ICly be found here. OOCly, further information can be found here! Please be aware that only quests of the current month can be completed for a reward. Past quests can be done if you would like to, but will receive no reward.
- A list of current restored colors can be found here; please be aware that no colors have been restored for new characters yet. That means that their text color will be black, and their homes, unless shared with a current character, will have no color.
- The OOC meet and greet can be found here.
Event Log
- A mingle log will go up tomorrow, May 8th at 9 PM EST, to provide a general introduction to the game. Due to the sizes of the current app rounds in the game, the intro logs also serve as mini-events, with a bit more to play with.
