New Player Reserves Opening

[letsgolegion]

With the player count dropping below 35 players, we can now reopen apps. The mods are opting to do this after AC at the end of the month (which will be the mid-AC period check-in) in case there are any additional AC-related drops.

We'll be putting up a new TDM and are announcing further ahead of time this time to allow potential appers to prepare.

Since the reserves filled up within minutes last time they were open, we're trying a new system for New Player Reserves that's a little more forgiving for people in different timezones.

After we open reserves, if the open slots don't get reserved within 24 hours, we'll simply leave Reserves open until they do. However, if Reserves fill quickly like last time, and we get enough reserves before 24 hours are up to fill the open slots, we'll leave Reserves open for a full 24 hours to allow players across multiple timezones to reserve. Instead of first come, first serve, after the 24 hours are up, we'll then roll RNG on the Reserves to decide which appers get the slots, then notify the players with responses. This will allow players across multiple timezones a chance at the open slots, won't require any sort of reserve or app challenges, and will be fair and randomized because it's down to the roll of a dice.

TDM will go up sometime this week after we take suggestions from the playerbase on TDM ideas. We'll announce it on the mod plurk.

New Player Reserves will open on: Friday Feb. 3 @ 10 pm EST

If you have any questions, feel free to ask us below.

UPCOMING PLOTS DISCUSSION
Hey there, Legionnaires!

Periodically, we like to check in with the playerbase to figure out what the upcoming plots are going to be and see if we need to rearrange the plots, add a new one to the calendar, or make any changes based on what the playerbase wants.

You guys like bats, right?

Hey there! Mat here, player of everyone's favorite Monkey Mom, with the second Batgirl - Cass Cain from Batman comics!

She is basically an unstoppable force of kick-ass, having been raised from birth by her biological father to be the perfect assassin. As a result, she can read body language as if it's spoken, predicting people's actions in combat (and out of it, a lot of the time), and extremely skilled in martial arts and the use of a variety of weapons. On the downside, David Cain managed this by not exposing her to any language, written OR spoken. She eventually ran away and years later ended up in Gotham where the Bats adopted her and she finally started learning to speak.

It's still a work in progress. She's basically thrown her hands up in surrender to the idea of reading.

ANYWAY, she's a super sweet and empathetic and compassionate person, and she will be the Legion's new Batman, since Bruce isn't here to take up the mantle.

You can find me at myshot if you don't have me there already, and I hope y'all enjoy her!

I'M SORRY HE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE THE LAMBCHOP SIDEBURNS

[wallsofjericho]

Hi guys, it's Marie with a much-threatened second character, finally. I went with Joe Wilson from DC Comics, aka Jericho. He's a Teen Titan with a semi-problematic history, in that he went crazy due to possession for awhile and attacked the Teen Titans several times. Fun!

When he's himself, as he is now, Joey's a super Nice Guy who is probably going to seem very dull compared to the idiosyncrasies of half the game. He has interests! Hobbies! He somehow manages to be an avowed pacifist and a superhero at the same time!

Other stuff: his dad's Deathstroke. He uses sign language. I really am thinking of having him regrow the longer curls and sideburns. Thoughts?
