STATE OF THE GAME
STATE OF THE GAME
Hello, passengers!
We've passed our two-month anniversary, and so we'd like to take this opportunity to check in with our players, to see what's working for you guys and what could use improvement. You can consider this post a place to freely share your thoughts, both with us and the game at large. If you'd like to engage with the mods one-on-one, please see our Mod Contact page!
Feel free to converse amongst yourselves, whether it's about expectations, concerns, or anything else.
Character Activities
We also wanted to introduce a new page we set up, to make it easier for your character to contribute to the ship and also notice those contributions! Please check out that page here.
You guys can use this page to post and track any background behavior or activities your character and others are up to, whether now or at any time in the future. Basically, things that aren't big enough to merit a player plot, but are still important to how your character engages with the setting! Think of it as something adjacent to a handwaved CR meme; you can see examples on the page itself.
We'd also like to give you guys the opportunity to plot amongst yourself, insofar as the group activities go. There were a few of these mentioned on the warden meeting posts, so if you have an idea for a group activity and would like to present it to the game at large, please post it under this header! Then, if it gets enough traction (or has received support elsewhere, like plurk), submit it to the proper header on the Activities page. Other players can show their support by adding a +1 or -1 in the subject of their replies. Let's say there should be participation from 4 or 5 characters for it to count!
That said, if a group activity doesn't get enough support (or your character wouldn't bother trying to get support and would do the activity solo), please submit it as an individual activity! You can always bump it up to a group activity in the future, if more passengers participate later.
Please note that this page is not meant as a substitution for threading out cool things or player plots. Rather, we'd like to give everyone a neat, easy way to see what's going on around the ship at any given time, so wardens and inmates can stay on the same page with their activities and share plot hooks.
Since this page will be a mainstay, if you have any questions, please ask them on our FAQ!

In terms of perspective on the setting itself, I think Lucifer is aware that it's unfair (I imagine most, if not all of the wardens are), but again, he doesn't care enough to concern himself with addressing it because he thinks it can, in fact, work despite the unfairness. He's always worked within unfair systems and made them work in spite of that. And again, OOCly, we're all aware the system isn't gonna change so at some point we need to move on and try something else! It's always a balance, I know, especially when playing a character with proclivities like Volk's.

i think i might swap him out, he's a bad combo and i'm frustrated and other people are frustrated and there are ways to play with my friends that don't involve this hazard lol
