Welcome to November. It's time for our monthly OOC announcements.

✧ MONTHLY NOTES ✧

First and foremost, setting updates will not occur this month. For this we do apologize but ask players to please bear with us during this time.

What you can expect this month (date not fully established yet) is a bit of a change/overhaul we've been working on vigorously for several months. As we said a few months ago, we've passed an important anniversary in The Revival Project that is going to see some changes and advances coming, and this month it is our hope to have one of those changes ready for you to help usher in this new chapter.

Finally, we thank you all for your incredible contributions to our game over the years. It's not something we mods express to you as often as we could, but we want everyone to know that we know you are the magic that makes The Revival Project a place worth being. For those of you who want to share that magic with others, we suggest this might be a fun time of year to do so because yes, we are going to have another New Tick which is like coming in with bonus prizes, and yes, you will be able to expect the same December AC relaxing that we've taken to in the past. So this can be a good time to dip toes into the water and explore what the game has to offer before we start picking up speed again in the new year.

And as a final note as we know it will get asked below (and we'll answer it there too), yes, characters WILL receive their AC fun bonus this month IN CANON. See comments below for information.

✧ NETWORK REMINDER ✧

Just a minor reminder regarding Network posts and communications in game. As is noted here on the Data Points & Expertise page, characters active on the Network in any form will have their names displayed as matching their character tag (minus your canon information). Only characters with the Communications datapoint can alter this labeling method. It is therefore not necessary to list a 'UN' in any Network post or responses unless your character has specifically done this. Without the Communications datapoint a character would not even know this is possible unless they see someone else with an altered username. We have no problem with you making these changes, but remember it does come with that requirement of Data Point change.

✧ NEW TICK FUN ✧

Ah, players, we can all see that the year is winding to a close, which means New Tick will soon be upon us. The event has been fun in the last two years and we want to make sure that we have fun in the next year as well. There will be more fun and games to be had this January, with an extra sprinkle of fun that we haven't seen before. This year there won't be the same winter festival, but we've got fun planned, and more than that, there's the gifts.

And look at that, you can start requesting now! Please note you have to be logged in with a character account to access the post. Rules are posted on the page and we ask players to pose any questions they have on that post and not here. Take the time now to start thinking about what you might ask for, and remember that it doesn't necessarily have to be something the character would like. These are the Agrii giving gifts, and they might not know that a certain prize possession is more infuriating than welcomed. You'll have until December 24th to submit your lists, one individual comment per character.

Finally, we'll be opening up these gifts to any player who joins the game prior to the cut-off date for the gift and celebration ideas lists. So if you're going to enable new players/characters to the game, don't forget to tell them that as part of the New Year, their characters might almost immediately get some treat or gift from home back into their possession. It's like a second item brought with them and might make characters feel a bit more connected to home.

✧ ACTIVITY RESULTS ✧

As always we would remind players that if you run into some unforeseen barrier to completing your AC, please send a direct message to the [personal profile] trpmods account as soon as possible. Our Activity Check page also has a questions comment that could be used for contact. Please do not send messages in the game discord at any time. If you would prefer to directly contact a mod via Discord, Plurk, or DW, please include contact to Mod Churby in some manner, as they primarily handle AC records.

If you're looking for your monthly silliness for AC, see the comments below.
