Voting Updates!
A REMINDER TO VOTE!
Hello Deerlings! Looks like you guys have spoken! The majority of the game either wants the voting to be concluded sooner or do not care either way when it's concluded - so, we're going with ending the voting earlier than planned! Apologies to anyone if this is an inconvenience.
We’re on the final stretch and we’re so excited to see the conclusion to our voting segment! If you have not already voted, you have until June 1st at midnight to Vote Here. Here’s a helpful countdown to keep track of the days!
If people need a re-vote due to messing up or a thread turning out a different way than anticipated, then please let us know your original votes in a comment below then go and submit your new votes. We will simply subtract your original votes from the overall votes. All comments will be screened to maintain the anonymity of votes. You will have until the 1st to make any corrections. After that, we will no longer be accepting re-votes either and all votes will be considered finalized as is.
We will provide an official vote reveal. This will be a detailed post including summaries of all the possible outcomes, the general premise of the doors that could have been, and the fate of NPCs that could have been.
More importantly, it will explain what the winning votes mean! This will include a more detailed explanation of the new setting along with a map, the power system, the animal companions, and a few other little details. At this point, characters will be able to see “visions” and grasp ideas of this new world for those interested in their characters experiencing some casual prophecies of what is to come.
We will be posting a full Companion Event along with the closing June event on the 5th. This Companion Event will act similarly to the May Companion event and will provide prompts for each NPC and their fate per your votes. This will also have a conclusion for the Sixth and Seventh Guardians of Deerington.
June’s Event will focus primarily on three options characters will be able to explore: go home, go beyond, or stick around and find out what’s going to happen to what’s left of Deerington. And don't worry! If you actually want your character to go to Chapter 2 but they want to go home, you can still have them make that choice...It just won't work quite the way they think! There will be a unique prompt for those who choose to go home as well as the other options.
Alternatively you can always just have them go home and then be sucked back into Deerington Chp 2 in the usual panfandom RP game way. There will be no right or wrong way to do this.
The game will officially be considered “closed” and we will no longer be running any mod functions. Players will be allowed to treat the communities as a collective sandbox. You can choose to backtag old events, old threads, or start casual new scenes to tide yourselves over until August 27th which will be when Early Access Reserves open for Chapter 2.
At this time, The Great Sleep, Canon Updates, Summoning Stones, Player Plots, and Death Certificates will no longer be accessible. If characters die after July 1st it will be assumed that they will simply either be reincarnated into their canon worlds or the new world…Or…just, you know, die. Feel free to run your own mini-player plots in the meantime but we won’t be moderating that.
If you would like to set up a more complex player-plot to entertain yourselves while the game is in its temporary closed phase, we urge you to submit those forms sooner rather than later. We will be moderating all regular pages up until July 1st - so you have until then for any player plots or updates or death certificate things!
The power of the Summoning Stones and Great Sleep will be nullified after the dream begins to completely fall apart. The setting of Deerington will be completely faded away into nothingness by September 1st. For those planning on having their characters stay until the very end, they would literally see parts of the town fading away/vanishing entirely.
We will be making a final goodbye post that covers this information and a bit more on July 1st. We will be encouraging players ask any remaining questions at that time. This post will also include further information about the new activity check and application as well as what dates to look out for in the near future.
In the meantime, feel free to ask any questions you want on this post! Thank you!
