A number of you passed the activity check, but barely. (You know who you are.) Try to pick things up, as it's no fun to character-squat.

If there are any mistakes here, please let us know! Additionally, if your character was removed and you're still active, feel free to appeal to one of us about keeping your character. However, please remember next time to stay active and post to the Activity Check. Thank you!

The mods did do a plot that was more geared towards the non-combatants, though. True, it was back during Halloween, but it actually cut out the fighters completely and let those with little-to-no abilities shine.

I'm not saying this point is invalid- not at all, since it is a pointed concern in a game where 9/10ths of the characters can fart on walls and they explode. But the mods have at least shown they're trying new ways to include the entire populace.

It didn't really work. I'm not the original anon, but when the four characters were chosen to go through, two of them were Vexen and Flynn, two people with above-human capabilities and who were very much combatants. The Halloween events were also a bit geared more to "normal" characters, as in those without trauma, as opposed to non-combatants.

I can't deny any of this! But that wasn't really my point. Despite how successful (or not) the attempts were to incorporate non-combatants, the mods still tried, which is why I brought it up to the original anon. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

[(Anonymous)]

Original anon here! Oh, man, I had forgotten about that. You're right. Like I said, there have been some really clever events and player plots which try to include everyone. I don't think it's a pressing issue and I don't mean to come off as too disgruntled, because I really did intend it as a suggestion to keep in mind and not a DAMMIT LUCETI YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG kind of thing.

Oh no, you were cool! o/ I realized you meant absolutely no harm and even with all the examples we've listed, improvement is always good. I think of where Luceti is now as that intermediate stage, where the mods are trying new ideas to get everyone involved, but hey, they're not perfect either. So it'll be exciting to see what happens in the future. |D
