Server Reset

The staff begins resetting the server every other Sunday at 8 PM UTC. Scenes must be finished before this! No scenes will be allowed to extend past reset and no new scenes may begin until the sunset announcement goes out.

If you need to hunt or use Herd during reset time but before the beginning of the next in-character night, you may request to do so in your ticket. Any request after the new night has begun for previous weeks will be denied.

Experience Requests

Experience is given out on Monday between 4 and 8 PM UTC. Experience requests may be posted anytime outside of the window between 3 and 8 PM UTC on Sunday. Please follow the pinned template in the channel.

Players may earn a maximum of 6 experience per reset. The following each give 1 experience point.

  • Awakening vignette

  • Hunting vignette

  • Progress towards an Ambition

  • Progress towards a Desire

Completing a scene with either another player or a Storyteller will grant 1 experience point. You may post an additional completed scene for another experience point.

You must post links to all of these things to get experience for them! If you don't make a request within the allotted time period, you will not be awarded experience.

You must post Desires in your ticket within 24 hours of your first post for the week. Awakenings must be posted first thing.

Experience Caps

To maintain fairness and consistency, all characters are subject to an experience cap. Once your character gains 180 experience, they will not gain any more. For players who are consistently getting 6 experience a reset, this will take a little over a year.

Time Frames

Often, you will see different words used to reference time. Here is a small chart that defines how those time frames pass in our game.

We have two roles here, depending on your comfort level with the unknown and unexpected. These are both detailed in our channel. You may change this role at any time. You need to have selected one of these two roles before you are able to post anywhere!
