Survival Of The Fittest

Quick question; how will activity be affected by this check-in period? Are we just kinda pseudo-pausing for a little while we wait for everyone to get their answers in and figure stuff out, or do we still need to have our characters posting?

You (and everyone else) are expected to maintain activity as normal. This ideally shouldn't take very long, and posting once every two weeks shouldn't be very challenging.

On some further thinking, though I don’t suppose it’ll change much given the other responses, I would kind of like to get a proper Endgame in if there’s enough interest. Still content with escape as it is admittedly easier to write in the current circumstances, but… yeah it’d be cool to do.

Amy would love a rescue

So, what's the status report on this?

Hey everyone,

Thank you for all promptly letting us know whether your character would be staying or escaping.

Now that the deadline has passed and everyone has stated their preference, we can officially say that everyone will be being saved from the island unless you choose to have them die unrolled. There will not be an endgame occurring due to less than the minimum of four people stating that they wanted their character to stay behind.

As previously mentioned, the army will be arriving at the town with two boats and picking up every kid who gets to the boats in time.

We will be opening a thread for this through SOTF_Help that will be free for everyone to enter and get picked up. Once your character has boarded the boat they will count as rescued and you will not be be able to continue posting with them until the aftermath section is opened. The deadline to board the boat is January 15th, the actual thread depicting the military's arrival will be up within the next coming days as to give everyone at least a month to wrap things up.

Once the deadline passes the boats will leave and anyone who is left on the island will be executed by the AT via collar detention.

Thank you,

The SOTF Staff Team

Will activity continue to be enforced from here on out given that the version is effectively over and we are waiting on future staff directive?

Hello,

Activity monitoring will continue for characters until they are on the boat and post an exit tag indicating ((Continued in The Aftermath)) or have died.

Thanks!

- The SOTF Staff

The military and boats have arrived. You have until January 15th to finish your island storyline and board the boats. Expect updates on The Aftermath to come sometime after that deadline.

Thank You,

The SOTF Staff Team

Just in case, can I ask if the rescue thread counts towards the Housing thread limit?

It does not. However, as a sidenote, any direct interactions with military NPCs must occur in the rescue thread itself.

As an additional bookkeeping note the Christmas activity break will run from the 15th of December (tomorrow) until the 7th of January.

Hi hello, that's time on the Christmas activity break!

Just giving a very important reminder here for everyone that January 15th is your deadline to wrap up any island stuff and to be on the rescue boat and/or dead. If the deadline passes and your character is still alive but not on the boat, they will be left behind and be killed by collar detonation.

Activity Enforcement Sidenote: Under normal circumstances, the 14-day activity timer for everyone would start today. However, that's irrelevant because the rescue deadline is way sooner!

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK, three and a half days left to go. For the sake of both your own mental health and the staff team's, I strongly strongly recommend not to wait until the last second on this!

48 hour warning! If you are not on the boat by the deadline, you will die! Please note: Just being in the rescue thread itself doesn't count as boarding a boat. You must explicitly indicate your character's story is being continued in The Aftermath!

Additional important note: If you intend for your character to be left behind and wish to write your own death, please get in contact with staff ASAP *before* the deadline. Otherwise, your character's death will be done by staff!
