24-Hour Event I like the free-for-all threading-as-we-go-aspect to the mechanic! I don't have very many players from the game on my plurk, so having the Discord channel personally made me feel less weird about jumping in as a new player even if I immediately incapacitated my character. I also like the idea of having rng sign-ups for these types of threads in the future - as far as characters needing to engage with a single 'boss creature' for the sake of keeping things a little less hectic on everyone involved. In that case I think it might also be important to expand the area of effect (other smaller enemies, damaging weather elements, etc etc) so that anyone who didn't get picked by RNG has something to work with too - especially in the case of the event going on in an area where lots of characters are already congregating and it gets a little tricky to ICly explain what your character was doing if they're the type to jump right into the fray.
I actually found the Boney interrogation thread a bit more difficult to work as a single thread, and I was glad you guys were able to accommodate more for the players!
Discoveries The one problem I had as a new player with these was that I wasn't entirely sure when I could use them - for some reason it didn't even occur to me that the monoliths could be investigated this way.
Pacing November is a weird month and December is kind of the same with the holidays, so not much to say here!
General Also asking for more chances to worldbuild ourselves! It might take some pressure off of you guys in the long run.
Concerns Thirding the HMD thing!
Thanks for being so open guys! I'm enjoying myself so far and am excited to see where the game goes from here.
