WARNING TO ALL RIVERFALL CITIZENS:

Keep your wits about you, there might just be Zeltivan spies in your midst

Game, set, match.

At least we aren't 'embarrassed'.

Sounds like a battle of Nerds vs Jocks...

Nerds Win

Tock - Even a proper nerd should know that money doesn't buy happiness. Life is about a whole lot more than that.

Guys -

Just ignore their trash talking. We don't need to pad our thread count with placeholders or barely started threads or solos. What I want to see for Riverfall is really in depth storylines, epic adventures, and a whole host of character development type things. We don't have to be first in post counts to be the best. You guys are kick ass roleplayers, not jocks or nerds, and I appreciate every single one of you. Ignore all the lame movie clips and signage that doesn't exactly apply to Mizahar in any way shape or form. They are zealots and can't help it. But I'm proud that you guys are keeping your heads high and your comments to yourselves.

It's just sad they feel challenged when we know its no contest at all.

Hi Guys-

Since the season change is all but upon us, I'd like to talk about next season and what Summer holds for Riverfall. Usually I focus on just the city I'm moderating for a season change and a theme, but last season was slightly unusual since it was more of a global plot carried out to draw everyone together and remind them how dangerous the world is. This season, however, I get to focus solely on Riverfall and that excites me. It gives me an opportunity to get to know each of you better and gives me an opportunity to actually help you do some character development.

I've been looking into a lot of motivational things lately because I wanted to see if I could hit on some angles to get people enthusiastic about their PC's again, and I think I have some ideas! Summer is going to be busy and involved for Riverfall. We're going to be implementing a few scenarios new to the game, and designed to get both you and I more involved in the city itself.

We're going to introduce a few things:

1. The Season Theme : A theme in which the domain will fall under for the new season in which everyone gets to participate in a large central quest or side quests depending that support the cities central theme.

2. The Character Store : This is an IC and OOC store of fantastical things that denizens of Riverfall can buy OOC from when they earn enough Store Points to pay for their wants out of the store stocks. The catch is points are hard to come by and can only be earned via a clearly stated way with a bank of points being kept in the store thread. You earn them by moderating for others, completing tasks for the city, being helpful, overall activity, and the character pyramid which I will describe in detail below. Once you buy something from the store, you must then RP getting it in thread somehow, even if its via a solo, and then and only then it becomes yours. The store will be described in full when it is posted at the season change. Riverfall and Wind Reach will be utilizing these stores as a 'test' of the concept.

3. The Character Pyramid : This will be a weekly thing, posted each monday, outlining who's been active in Riverfall and whom the moderators feel have been active in the coolest most unique ways. One week we might highlight a new person who came out of the depths of the net with a killer concept, the next week someone who's 'most improved', and the third week we might have someone who has a 'kickass fight scene'... but regardless we'll have a list for The Character Pyramid. As always, In-City Mod PCs are excluded, but all others will be considered. Players here will have an opportunity to show up on the pyramid twelve times... because there's twelve weeks in the season. Top performers will get rewards at the end and everyone making the pyramid will get points to spend in the Character Store.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

First and foremost, let me introduce the Summer theme. The Summer of 512 is going to be known as "The Deadliest Hatch". We're going to have a unique event happen in Riverfall that's going to be extremely dangerous and open to the whole of the citizenry to get involved. A Velispar nest is going to hatch within the city, one that's been dormant a long long time but was set into gestational motion because of the djed storm. Velispar are born mindless vicious creatures roughly the size of glassbeaks that grow more intelligent and wise feeding on sentient creatures. The denizens of Riverfall are going to have to figure out how to control these creatures or eliminate them without angering their parents who live out on the Cyphrus grasslands and without putting the city at too much risk. This will be a brawn and brains theme, so even if you aren't a combat person, you can still run threads surrounding this theme.

Any questions, comments, concerns... feel free to post.
