god power updates.

Hey, everyone! Faith here with some new updates to everyone's favorite perfectly operating totally flawless game mechanic: the god powers! I will continue to thank you all profusely for being so patient with us as we figure these out. We had no idea what we were getting into when we started, but now that we've had some time to digest a large number of your applications, we're starting to be able to identify clearer guidelines and rules to follow to make both your sets and gameplay relatively fair across the board.

With this comes some updates! There will likely be more to come as we continue to learn and adjust, these are just the ones we have for you right now. Please feel free to ask questions and give us feedback, we're really winging it as we go here and welcome player input to make this work as well as it can for everyone.

First and foremost, some unfortunate news for a select few of you. Having processed somewhere around 80 of these applications now, we've found some places where we feel we need to adjust for fairness, so some of you may be hearing from us about making modifications to your power sets. We'll explain what we're adjusting and why when we can get to you, so hang tight - and if you don't hear from us in the next couple of weeks, then you're totally fine as is.

We'd also like to remind people from our June app round to please submit your power applications by August 31. If you have not submitted one by then, we will randomly assign one of the sample power sets to you, and you will no longer be able to change it. Folks from our August app round, please have yours in by September 31. If anyone needs help or suggestions, please feel free to contact us!

In more exciting news, we received our first couple of level two applications! This means we are now deciding how exactly we want to advance your powers in terms of leaping to the new ability and any changes made to the previous one. This has immediate implications for level three as well, so we're taking a close look at the entire leveling up system right now to decide how we want it to work.

The foremost conclusion we came to was that we'd like to increase the activity requirement for level three. Right now, the current requirement is 30 comments in 3 months, which equates to simply making monthly AC. To earn the strongest power you can have in the game, we'd like to see a little more investment than that, so we're bumping it up to 50 comments in 3 months. It's not that big of a change and doesn't even equate to double monthly AC for the time frame, but we think this is fair (and we really just want to spy on more of your threads tbh). We also changed the language to say "activity requirement" instead of "AC requirement" to establish it as separate from monthly AC. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused!

After that, we've decided to do minor buffs to your previous abilities as you level up! These will be very small, typically an increase in time limit, number of creatures affected, or something of that nature. We'll have specifics for you if/when you level up. Our first ones have already been accepted, so if you need help with your level two application, please let us know!

That's it for the god powers for now! Thank you again for giving us time to work through all of this. We've got a few new volunteers to help with processing power applications, so hopefully it'll start picking up speed as we get everyone onboard. If anyone else was interested in helping us out as a power mod, please PM the mod account to let us know!

Last but certainly not least, our Heimdallans voted to open a new restaurant in their district, so we're happy to unveil Röskr Önd! Serving hearty, fresh meals to keep you strong and healthy through your days, this native-operated establishment is cooking up a storm and ready for patrons. Feel free to stop by anytime. And speaking of Heimdall, the wonderful Kits has taken up the task of playing him for us! He'll be ready for gameplay once she's had some time to settle into the role. Thank you so so much, Kits!

We'll leave you with a gentle reminder that AC is due by August 31 at 11:59PM EST on this post. Make sure you get your AC in on time! As always, please let us know if you have any questions/comments/concerns/dirty jokes in the comments section below. Thanks y'all, and see you soon for September's event!
