It has come to our attention that there were a number of you who thought the deadline was the 20th rather than the 18th.  As such, we are allowing participants to submit Prompt 1 up until 11:59 ST (Server Time) on the 20th.

However, the maximum amount you will be able to earn is 2 points for Prompt 1 if you are submitting your entry between now and the 20th.  This will still give you minimum participation and keep you in the running to earn the event coat color.

This is the only time we’re doing the extension; we will not be doing an extension for the other two prompts.  The deadlines for each prompt are in the first post.  You have 12 days to respond to each prompt, not a full two weeks. :)

I hope this clears things up, and allows for those of you who have been working on Prompt 1 to submit something if you haven’t so far!  I’m really enjoying seeing everyone’s entries—keep up the amazing work! <3

You can go ahead and use the same feedback thread :)

Edit - If you’d like to opt out of receiving feedback for specific parts, please say so in a new reply to your thread AND in bold at the top of your first post.

Oh gosh, I’ve just realised that the second part is up. I totally forgot it was on the 20th. D8
Hopefully I’ll be able to come up with something nice. I would love to make another game, but I haven’t got enough time, awwh. ;3;

Anyway, the options are really interesting again, can’t wait to see what people create. :D

Quick question-

Is it crucial that we have our character interact with the NPC characters? I was purposefully trying to avoid them in my first prompt, as I’m really uncomfortable RPing someone else’s characters, but this one seems like you do actually need to use them as a plot point. If I just tackled the mystery of the flowers or statue without including the NPCs, would that be okay?

I see.

Thanks for the answer.

Mim doesn’t have an established character. She was created just for this event and likely won’t make an appearance again, so go ahead and make up a personality for her :)

You likewise don’t need to worry about staying true to Seelby’s character in the story; we won’t be grading you on that at all. For those of you who’d like to know anyways, though, she’s a practical sort of Ineki who’s still trying to find her place here in the Cave. She’s confident enough now to help lead an expedition into unexplored tunnels, but it’s a slow and uncertain process. She also really likes plants.

I hope this helps!

Question!

Are the people who missed Prompt #1 still permitted to participate in the event by beginning with Prompt #2?

baekhesten:  If you’re roleplaying, we expect that things will be intertwined with your partner’s posts and your graders will almost certainly have to read the roleplay in its entirety to understand what is going on in your posts specifically.  What the graders will be looking for is that they can tell which option you pick (this should be made clear in your side of the roleplay), that you are driving the action/“creativity” in some parts, that you’re writing a reasonable amount (aka your partner isn’t doing most of the work with you just throwing in a couple sentences of responses), and how your writing looks in general (have you proofread and corrected most spelling/grammatical errors?).

Springdragon:  What dora says is true; you can definitely still participate!  You can earn up to 4 points for Prompt 2 and up to 4 points for Prompt 3 (if you do that one as well) which you then could spend on the event items.  The only thing you aren’t eligible for would be the Lily of the Valley coat color because you need to reach minimum participation in all three prompts in order to receive the event coat color.  :)

Er, regarding feedback, are we allowed to give feedback on old threads or entries? As in, right now, am I allowed to give feedback on prompt #1 entries or only prompt #2 entries?

EDIT: Also, to get extra points, do we have to do two feedbacks on each part, or can we get two points by offering feedback four times on one part?

EDIT: Thanks for the answer, Prose!

You can no longer submit or edit entries for this part of the adventure. Stay tuned for part 3, which will be released on 3/5! In the meantime, you can continue to give one another feedback up until the 10th.

Ah, that was ending tonight, I forgot… I got super busy and didn’t get to finish part 2. ;_;
-sits in corner of not being able to properly fully participate in last two events ahhh- X3;

:

We can use the same thread! =D I don’t think it’s mandatory, though.
