October Announcement
October Announcement
[attr="class","topheaderb"]
[attr="class","anncontent"]Hello Fate! Can you believe it's October already? I understand things are moving at a slower pace than we all wanted, so this announcement is to reiterate a few things and give a brief roadmap of what's to come!
Please keep in mind that the site is still undergoing major revamps. It is a messy process that involves a lot of coordination between very busy staff. Staff are currently juggling work and school and Fate all at once, not including additional stressors. Please be patient with us.
To our newest members: we are SO glad to have you here, and we initially were not planning to open registration until the first part of next year. That has not changed, but we were impressed with your enthusiasm and creativity and couldn't wait all the way til January to bring you into the family! That said, we understand your frustration. Fate has been around a long time, and it is both a blessing and a curse. We have a lot of history to condense, and that can make it incredibly hard for new members to create characters who have been around for multiple in-character years.
All old-Clan timelines can be found in the bulletin board, along with major event threads. The timelines are messy and most of them were not kept up with for the last few seasons, especially as high ranks waxed and waned. Older Fate members can try to fill in the missing pieces as best we can.
I highly encourage new members to look at adoptables, as they are often tethered to characters with prominent histories that are easier to build off of. The Tribe of Forgotten Waters is an excellent choice also, given that they are still considered a relatively 'recent' addition and the whole of their history is much, much shorter.
Please do not rush us. This kind of massive site revamp requires a lot of patience as we go through it, part by part. We would rather do this right than do this sloppy.
Now for the in-character updates:
The Exploration threads are top priority, as soon as the locations are fully revealed, camps can be selected, and the Clans can officially start dispersing to their preferred terrains.
Staff will be reaching out to Owlstar and Cloverstar to begin writing in-character announcements to their respective followers.
We have decided to FREEZE TIME until these threads are completed. As of right now, the date is Greenleaf 25th. Feel free to make threads for ANY date set in Greenleaf, just be sure to put them in the correct boards! The Greenleaf Calendar will be posted again for easy reference. Please keep any threads dated after Greenleaf 25th vague, until we have the Clan territories firmly established.
Any threads already started in Leaf-fall may continue, but please do not create any more Clan threads that hinge upon the outcome of the exploration threads. Loner threads and Tribe threads may commence for leaf-fall if you choose.
For those of you with kits who are now of a playable age for Leaf-fall: You now have staff's FULL Permission to play these characters in Greenleaf at the age of 1 moon. We understand that these are special circumstances in the valley, and do not want to hamstring you with the time freeze.
To compensate for the time freeze, we will be having shorter seasons until things begin to match up again in real time.
I understand it's a lot of touch and go, but there's no manual on how to do what we are trying to do. We are only human, and doing our best to make something beautiful and engaging. Sometimes we have to prioritize our mental health, and that's okay. We will always encourage self care and taking a step back when needed. I apologize for the slowness of things, but a crawl is different from a complete stop.
We love you all very much. This is a tremendous community of heart and creativity that we want to continue to see flourish.
Sorry for the long announcement, it's been a while since we've touched base like this! As always, if you have any questions, please reach out and we'll do our best to answer.
A few final notes:
Please keep an eye out for potential writing contests/NaNoPrep/Something Spooky! We hear and love your suggestions!
The Tribe High Rank Auditions are ongoing! They will be closed on October 15th, so approximately five days from today!
GorgeClan leadership auditions will be going up shortly. Staff are formatting the audition as we speak, and expect to have that posted by the end of the month. =)
IMPORTANT, MUST READ: our lovely Fabrication has decided to take a break from Fate for their mental health, and are presently not in Fate’s Discord server. They can still be reached by DM, but please do so sparingly, as they need to focus on real life issues! The Gorge Exploration event will be handled by Kat from this point forward. Stay tuned! We are about halfway through each area, let’s see if we can finish this by the end of October!
