ALL READ: Time for the new Supersync

Post by Grey Wolf »

Last year around this time (or a bit earlier) we hit the big reset button on Tazlure and jumped forward half a yahren. It is time to do that again. Not right away, but soon. On July 1st this year moderators will post a brief summary of events that transpire in their area in the coming two month of Tazlure time. As of that day you will be able to post your own write-up and describe how your character deals with the time that passes.

Current threads will continue to run, but as of July 1st you will not be able to start new threads with a time stamp before Jygust 30th. Special permissions might be given, but they will be extremely rare and likely won't exist.

Once you have posted your recess write-up (see below), a moderator has to approve it (by posting his interpretation and assigning additional consequences where necessary) before you can jump into Summer. Yes, Tazlure will be sunny and warm and there shall be lots of frilly shirts and summer dresses, cold beers and beach visits.

How to run a Recess

1. The Recess will start on Chyril 29th 1225 AD to Jygust 29th 1225 AD with new threads having a timestamp of Jygust 30th 1225 AD. You can start posting on this new timestamp as soon as your Recess write up has been approved.

2. All moderators (helped by the GD's) will provide a brief summary of events in the Recess in your area. You are allowed one post (and one post only) to this thread which should include your reactions and your further plans for this period. We recommend that you make this post at least 4 paragraphs long and treat it as a background story on a charactersheet.

3. For every advance your character is seeking with this Recess post we shall expect something equally bad happening too. Balance is what we are looking for. Advances can be anything you come up with but may include:


* a position with government or local organization
* information gained
* alliances/contacts made


All advances must be balanced and be realistic in our setting. We recommend that you use the post to find some interesting story angles for the period after the Recess.

4. To account for experience in those months we will award everybody 10 stars to distribute as they will over skills. A maximum of 4 stars can be used per skill. Or you may use 5 stars to buy a new skill. You can't buy new magickal skills, only advance them. No skill can be raised higher that Apprentice+****, and only as far as the next level. Meaning if you use up 2 stars to raise the skill to apprentice, you must use the rest of the stars on other skills. The distribution of the stars is to go into your Recess write up. That means you have to describe how your character learned new skills or improved the existing ones, just like you did in your background during character creation.

5. Since money has been replaced by the new Wealth skill this is the time to truly utilize it to your advantage. This skill is exempt from the usual skill advancement and can only be changed during a Supersync. If you have been working on improving your monetary status IC and you manage to explain it in your Supersync write-up a mod could approve advancement to the next level of wealth, or reduce your Wealth skill depending on what is appropriate.

6. The moderators (helped by the GD's) will finalize the Recess posts with a final ruling on what worked and what didn't. Anything that you want covered in the weeks and months of our recess you can describe in your journal or remember in a dream with a fellow PC in an unmoderated Aether thread (without any effect in the waking world).

7. At 30th of Jygust 1225 AD the new Summer will start. There will likely be some changes. The Mouth may recover. The West could have a new King. Nations could fall and men could rise to power or fall to infamy. Any more details soon to be found in the summary threads of your moderators.

You can start right now, by trying to figure out what your character will be like in half a yahren and what might have happened during the Recess![/hr]

The 1st of July has arrived. Please do not make any new threads. You can wind up what threads you are involved in.

Your coordinator is set to post a Recess summary post to start you off today. We hope you have fun with our massive timejump!
