Subject: Someone's finally awake from the month and a half coma they were suddenly in...

Warnings: N/A





Can someone... [yawn] Mm, pardon me.

[The voice is one that hasn't been heard in a while, sounding as if they only just now woke up, before they clear their throat and start over.]

Can someone confirm for me the date, and then explain to me how exactly I apparently slept for nearly six weeks--what in the deep blue sea happened for that to be to be the case, and what have I missed up to now? Did I seriously end up missing my own birthday...? Should I be concerned that I've apparently been asleep for so long, or has there been cases of people here that have suddenly ended up in a coma here for just as long before?

[Also is the Mostro Lounge okay, someone please tell him that it's been looked after while he was asleep...]

The case of the missing notifications

I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

Welcome to the Test Drive Meme for [community profile] escordvi! Anyone can participate in the test drive, regardless of invite eligibility. Just keep in mind that only those who have had their invitations approved by the mods can actually reserve on April 24 and apply on May 1st. Our EMP/ATP can be found here.

For your toplevel, please include the following: Character Name | Canon | Armada Choice | TDM (IF TDMING). Current players can use the same header, just without the "TDM" label. We do require those who are TDMin'g to include the label so other players can distinguish between others.

For everyone's convenience, TDM threads can be carried over in game if you wish! If you are still unsure which armada to place your character, you can play it a bit loose and vague in the TDM and make retroactive changes if you carry over the threads. The log itself is set to cover starting from April 1st until the end of the month. Characters will appear at random intervals during this time rather than all at once, so players have some more flexibility on how much more adjusted they are for someone else.

If you have any question about the TDM, comment here. If you have questions about the game in general, please comment to the Game Info.

ENABLE ME TIMBERS: APRIL 2026


YO HO HO EVERYONE! This is an ATP/EMP post where players can make cast requests for people to app into, or make ads for characters they are considering bringing into the game. It works like any other ATP/EMP, but we do have a few things to note down:

» Invitations are required to reserve and apply! But you can go ahead and post to the ATP/EMP post with a note you need an invite. You can either rely on a current player for help, or you can directly request an invite from the mods.

» We have a 65 player cap.

» Players can only app 2 characters at once with a max limit of 3 in game. But since this is an ATP/EMP, feel free to put more if you're having trouble deciding!

» Our Game Info should cover everything you need, from basic premise summary to the nitty gritty details of the game mechanics. If you have any questions, post them there.

» Just want to make it clear that this is not a claims page. While we give priority to whoever is on the Reserve list, we do allow app challenges, and there is no rule against multiple players TDMing the same character. Of course we don't want there to be too much conflict, so everyone please be polite no matter who it is.

» TDM is Saturday, April 11. This TDM will double as our Something's Fishy event, but we will include a traditional "starter prompt" for TDM specific characters. Everything will be carried over as canon!

» Reservations open Friday, April 24th.

» Applications open Friday, May 1st.

» Use the following codes to write up your character or cast ad!

Subject: A Godly Reminder
Warnings: N/A

Sooooo, like, what does everyone do for fun around here?

[ The video pans to Jester who is lying on her stomach, presumably in an inn's bedroom. Her hands are propped against her cheeks and bare feet are swaying behind her, giving a nonchalant impression as she continues. ]

Also don't you think it's weird we're technically suppose to be "pirates" or something- armada this that I don't know- but no one really talks like... pirate-y around here? Sure some people do, but where is your emersion!?

Oh! Maybe we should hold a contest or something for whoever can talk the best. I'll even make the prize!

She'll pan the camera over to her sketchbook. [ It's filled the brim with different doodles she's completed throughout the day. There's one of a ship, her in a pirate costume, and is that a... dog with an eyepatch? ]

Anyway, what I really wanted to ask was... y'know, if there a god around here that we can talk to? This place is super cool and stuff but I was actually doing some really important shit back home and traveling to another plane was not on my list of things to do that day.

Jester puffs out her cheeks before releasing a loud huff of air— Ahaha! Whoa! I am so not going to get use to that.

I mean, I would speak to my god about it but none of my messages are going through. [ She stops for a half a beat before correcting: ] He's super busy right now, though! Y'know, doing a bunch of god things. So believe me, I would ask him if I could, but maybe there's god who knows stuff around here, ya?

Just lemme know if you knooow! Thanks!

[ The video opens on Emet-Selch, sitting in his private workshop at the Adamantine Forge. It looks partly like a laboratory and partly like an office, with a wide window running across the back wall for him to view the work below. ]

Greetings, rift-farers. I require the expertise of a smith, metallurgist, or anyone in a similar field. I have here a sheet of metal salvaged from a submarine found in the underwater city that is of an unknown alloy. Whilst I do have workers of my own analysing it, surely there must be someone for whom this metal is familiar.

[ He shifts aside and aims the camera on his phone at his workbench where the piece of metal sits. It has obvious signs of long-term physical and seawater-related damage. ]

My thanks in advance.
