Hello Samurai of Rokugan! I'm going to start having a weekly OOC state-of-the-game type announcement post in this thread hopefully coming about every Tuesday just to have a single place for an at-a-glance look at what's going on in the game and what's going on in general.
First of all, after just over a week of the game's existence, I'm so unbelievably impressed by what people have done so far, and by how much interest there has been in playing. It has exceeded our wildest hopes and dreams. I hope we can continue making a fun sandbox for you to play in over the coming weeks.
This week's announcements:
-The Empress's three brothers have each been adopted among the Great Clans as per Her previous Edict, with no time being wasted. Naseru has married a rather bold Kitsuki Justicar, while Kaneka has married into the Yasuki family of the Crab, and Sezaru has into the Shosuro family of the Scorpion.
-Imperial Mandates for the week have been posted here. We are testing out this week a higher reward program for mandate completion. After proclaiming that your character will be starting a mandate and posting at least five IC posts, you are eligible for the completion reward of 100 glory. At this time, we are limiting mandates to one per character to see how it shakes out. All you have to do to proclaim a mandate is to quote the mandate itself in the first post of your RP thread (it can even be edited in later if a thread progresses toward mandate territory on its own). Once the five posts are completed, simply PM myself or Otomo Yatsuji to get your glory reward.
-We are also increasing the weekly salary to 350 glory per week, and have also raised the minimum post count for the salary bonus slightly, to 15 posts across the whole forum. The plugin that we're using for this is somewhat untested so let us know if it doesn't seem to be working properly.
-Players are, as always, welcome to post in the Commendation Thread any particular bits of RP that they think are particularly well done. All you need to include is the person's name and a link to the thread you want to commend. Commendations will still have a glory reward of 5 glory for the commended, and 1 glory for the commenter.
Our goal is still to encourage individual RP posts, so we are leaving the 1 glory per post in RP areas of the forum, so prolific posters will still enjoy having a bit an edge despite the increase in other ways of gaining glory.
Our numbers are subject to change as we tinker and adjust but assume the numbers will stay as I've stated here over the next week.
