Welcome to Game Start!

Welcome to game start of [community profile] thelegion!

Here's how events are going to be handled, step by step:

1. For OOC introductions, plurk friending, and CR plotting, we recommend players hit the first player plotting meme to keep it consolidated for game start.

2. Please refamiliarize yourselves with the IC part of the welcome process. Timeline-wise, we're treating it like a bunch of the characters fell through the portal on the planet over the course of the same day. You can assume after your character spent a few days recovering and getting everything explained to them that they're all being released around Legion World to explore at about the same time.

Important Note: For this first introduction of characters, the reason the Legion is familiar with people falling through the portal is because there was a batch of Legionnaires from alternate universes that did it before the start of the game. They were all vorped home after a few weeks and no one knows why they didn't stay. In the future, The Legion will be familiar with characters falling through the portal to the planet because of PCs doing it on an ongoing basis.

3. For most characters where it'd be IC we'll handwave that they spent their few days recovering, getting the information they need, and agreeing to join the Legion or just agreeing to hang around Legion World as guest/support staff. For those of you that have a character that you feel would have an extremely complicated waking up process (such as someone that might run away from the room/fight people) that you need some npcing for, there will be a section to comment to below, just for game start, so players don't have to come to us like they normally would.

4. Players may start posting intro logs at any time. Rather than having a mingle log players may do their own intro logs so they can set them wherever they want. You can allow the characters to start exploring the setting anywhere on Legion World. You may also start tossing characters onto the network.

5. On the network the mods will post posts for the characters to meet the npcs. We're doing it on the network to allow for easier conversation and allow for characters to join each other in discussions with the npcs. If you'd like your character to talk to a specific npc in person in a prose log over something specific, you can always contact the mods for that and we'll npc it or arrange it with the npc player. To make it easier for game start, there will be a sign up for that below as well.

Once the npc network posts are up, links will be below:

Kid Quantum's Post
Brainiac 5's Post
Bouncing Boy's Post

6. If you have any lingering general questions about the game, please hit the FAQ so we can update it with the answer. We'll be watching it like a hawk. If you have any questions related to game start, please hit the question section in the comments below.

7. For game start, we'll have a section below for you to ask for help with any difficulties you're having with the game since we do recognize that we'll have to be making adjustments for how we run things as the game start progresses. If you'd like to make these complaints/suggestions anon or screened in a more private place, please hit the MOD HMD.

8. Over the next few weeks please keep a close eye on the OOC. We'll likely need to be doing a lot of start-of-game tweaks to the game as things get under way and in about 2-3 weeks when everyone has their characters introed in and acclimated we'll be running the game's first mod plot. There will be more info on that as it approaches.

Welcome to the game everyone! Let's go, Legion!

I presume that requesting a position as staff can be handwaved as well? And occur after initial 'wtf how did I get here' acclimation posts?
