4/1 Update on Story Progression / Moderation

Story Progression Timing

As we begin a new month we've been listening to feedback from players wanting the story to be more accessible in terms of time availability and made a few changes. We know our audience digs pretty deep into clues and will spend a lot of time turning over every leaf if given the opportunity, and we want to be responsible/respectful of your time and energy.

In order for this story to best reach its audience, we will continue the content release schedule of every three days until a certain point in the story, but going forward we will orchestrate things so that big reveals and live game events happen closer to the weekends to convenience the audience as much as possible. The discovery of the Methods of Revolution website coincidentally happened to occur on a Saturday night and saw active participation of hundreds of users. We'd like to keep that kind of rhythm directed towards the weekends, as even though the majority of the country is quarantined at home, we know of a few dozen of our player-base have essential jobs and aren't as time flexible. As it stands now, you can still expect significant story updates when the three day cycle to fall on weekdays, but the more in-depth interactive content & events (like the discovery of the Methods site) will take place when the cycle lands on a weekend. 

Discord Moderation Policy

We're excited to announce that the Awakening discord has reached 600+ members since Awakening has started! That's an incredible amount of growth in such a short time period and we're doing our best to acclimate. We've added roughly 8 new moderators to the roster to keep up with demand and we're implementing a new policy to ensure that the server is managed fairly both to the users and the moderators. The new progression of disciplinary action will be as follows: warning on first offense, kicked from the server on the second, and finally ban on the third offense. Banning is meant to be a last resort for people who continue to violate the rules and after seven days you will have the opportunity to appeal your ban. If you have any issues with the moderation staff, please DM Jadusable directly on Twitter.

Progression Caps

We are also working on an appropriate way to signify when all available clues have been found to "call off the dogs", so to speak. You will likely know the manner this weekend when we have our second live event.

Good luck!
