*tap tap* Is this thing on?

Greetings, Cyclicality!

First off, we’re excited and honored to be the new mods of this game, and we’re also eager to take on the unique challenge of reincarnating Cyclicality. Just like most of you did, both of us fell in love with Hojo and LA’s premise for an Avatar-themed game, and living up to their vision and filling their shoes is no easy task. However, between the two of us, we’ve got well over 15 years of modding experience, and we’ve started forming a plan to tackle the job.

Second, we want to say thank you to all of you who have stuck through the game through January and February. While the game has slowed considerably, we know that many of you are deeply passionate about this universe and this game, and your dedication means something. Because of your passion for this game, we will be making sure that you have a voice in its direction moving forward. We will be actively soliciting your thoughts and feedback within the next couple of weeks with a survey. (More on this below.)

For right now, we wanted to share our running laundry list of things we want to tackle most immediately. We already have on our radar plans to investigate:

• Regaining game momentum
• Solving Avatar cast versus non-cast issues
• Building a more definitive global plot line
• Introducing player-run plots into the narrative
• Resolving issues involving world travel
• Deciding what to do about the missing Korra NPCs

As we said, this is just our hot list of priorities; there’s definitely more that we want to examine and explore. If you feel like we’ve missed something that you think should be addressed more immediately, do let us know, and we’ll add it our list.

Here’s what you can start looking forward to in the near future:

• By next week at the latest, we’ll be soliciting player feedback with a survey of some sort. We want to do a proper review of Cyclicality so far and figure out what you have liked and what you haven’t about the game. We want to make sure that the future of the game looks like something you’re excited about.
• Next week we also aim to start up a plot to stir up some action. Watch for updates!

We’re excited about doing this game with all of you and making it into something special. Please bear with us as we get our feet wet! We may not have all the answers right away, but rest assured, we’re working at it and will continue to keep you in the loop and in the process moving forward. Meanwhile, if we can do anything for you, please let us know.

Cheers,
K and TML

So, what about activity check?

[cyclicalitymods]

That is one of the things that we're still nailing down, and the two of us are hoping to come to a decent decision sooner than later. There are three different questions within it, so let me answer all of them:

• What about January AC? - January's AC never got processed, and it seems kind of ridiculous to go back and do it now, especially since the last half of the month saw the game almost on autopilot. So everyone in game as of January who made at least one post is still in the game today (unless they've dropped since).
• What about February AC? - We recognize that the greater part of February has been with the game in a relative state of decline. We're still working on the finer details of what AC is going to look like, but this month won't be a full Activity Check (i.e., the standard 15 posts). Details will go up within a few days.
• What about future AC? - We've got a few ideas on how AC for the future part of the game will look, but they're not locked down yet. We'll definitely get those out before March.

For now, we'd love it if you could make at least some number of posts this month! Any activity, even if the plot isn't going to swing into gear until next week, will be good for the game.
