First and foremost I'd like to thank everyone for their hard work and participation over the last few weeks. PANGAEA is feeling very special and although I don't know exactly what it is yet, I like the direction we are heading.
With that I just wanted to discuss a few things.
Predictions
Matty has taken the reigns in getting a prediction thread up each week and I am grateful for that. I don't have a great deal of free time so that's while you'll see a flood of updates one day then none for a while. With predictions I want to make it absolutely clear that moving forward Predictions are to be done in-character. We use this as a way to get a better idea of how your character feels about those around them. Starting for Chapter III anyone who simply jots down a name for each match without any rhyme or reasoning will not be awarded the extra point on their scorecard.
Segments
For the foreseeable future I will not be accepting fully written out segments. This is to prevent any issues in matching the flow of the show and maintaining continuity. However, I will accept Segment ideas which get you that extra 1/2 Point on your scorecard. It can be as simply as sending me "I want my character to attack this character because whatever". Even if your idea isn't used you will be awarded the 1/2 Point. You can also say that you want your character interviewed before the match and give me some key lines they want to deliver. It's easy easy easy and it will help me flesh out the show.
Strats
A few people have done this so far and it really helps me write the matches. That's why I award a full bonus point for anyone who does it. Seeing as how we have nine matches on this next card alone I need ideas to keep matches unique and fresh. Again, you don't have to go into great detail, just give me an idea of what you want to see happen or maybe some specific spots.
Feedback
Starting for Chapter III you will receive a bonus for providing feedback for the previous show. Much like predictions, if it's just one word answers to every question then I reserve the right to not award you a bonus. PANGAEA is your fed and you decide how things go around here. Giving a bonus for feedback was not my idea but I liked it and now it will become standard. You are in control, I am just here to facilitate and moderate.
Any questions? Comments? Feel free to reply.
Thanks,
Cody
