The Common Room

Welcome back Elem

Sorry for being rather inactive recently guys, I've tried to keep up with threads and PMs, but I've been super busy covering off holiday at work. Hopefully things will calm down soon. I intend to get some grading done after work today. Thanks for bearing with us as always!

Nudge. This is a rare opportunity guys - our very own Liminal is running a quest next season, and possibly a game changing one at that, as Charm Wright sets out on an expedition to the uncharted isle of Darva. There are only a few spaces, so don't miss out on this one. With Liminal at the helm, it's sure to be a cracker!

Also, congrats to Andresciel. He has generously donated 500 GM to the city of Zeltiva, and thus becomes our first Trident Knight.

House stuck mid remodeling because of a few freak accidents. Sorry for the additional delays, the weekend should prove merciful. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks Aello for the lovely new location!

Some housekeeping...

First off, apologies for being rather inactive. Work has been hellishly busy for me, but things will start calming down from tomorrow.

Next, Autumn/Fall approaches! Please start putting down placeholders now. As of September 1st, you will NOT be able to timestamp threads in the Summer.

If you want your wages, make sure you have 2 complete job threads (these do not need to have been graded). If you want Seasonal XP, make sure you've gone above and beyond those 2 threads. Please pop all your wage and xp requests into the usual grade request thread. Sending them via PM or putting them into individual offices just complicates the system.

Any questions regarding the upcoming season change - feel free to ask here. (It's better here than in a PM because everyone else can see the answer too!)

Thanks guys,

Your DS,
Paragon

Question for Fall:

OOCly, the lockdown on Zeltiva is over on Autumn 1st. But the IC reason for it, the disease outbreak, was Wrenmae. Now, he left the city as of the 82nd of Summer, taking the source of the blight with him. Therefore, for plotting purposes, should we assume as of Autumn 1st that there are a) no more new major outbreaks, b) anyone with an illness mostly stops worsening (though normal lengths of time for recovery might mean some people are still bed bound for awhile, but presumably recovering now that nothing is causing disease to spread more), and c) that Maria "officially" lifts the state of emergency, and announces that we are (mostly) on the road to recovery?

Yes, I should have mentioned this! Those assumptions are correct

by **Imass** on August 28th, 2012, 9:41 pm

How many people would have died in Zeltiva because of the outbreak then? Would the population go down?

by **Paragon** on August 28th, 2012, 9:46 pm

Well ultimately, the city is well sanitised, and has rather good health care. Though deaths will have occurred - maybe 50-100 - it certainly won't be a big dent on the Zeltivan population.
