As you may have already seen there is a poll up on the length of the time skip to follow the close of the current saga. The reason we mention it now is so that people have ample time to prepare, as a board will be created shortly to allow members to map out their respective skips. This is for consistency’s sake, as this is a shared world. Also, if you are interacting with another player character, this gives you both the opportunity to sync up beforehand. These outlines do not have to be detailed but are rather a general overview of what you plan to accomplish in the agreed upon timespan.
Also, Master positions can be attained during this time and we encourage people to do so. A thread will be posted in the time skip board where people will be allowed to claim a NPC held position. If two (or more) people wish to attain the same position then they will have to fight for it once the skip has ended. This may also occur if vying for the position puts you at odds with another player. By this I mean if someone is training with the master you can be sure that they will fight anyone who means to take over by force. Monarch positions however will not be attainable during the time skip due to the implications involved.
Once the saga has completed members will be given a month to wrap up current threads and work on their time skips, official dates following end of saga. Players who claim a master position will have to PM their respective master and work out the details of how they acquire the role, the most important aspect being that it has to make sense for both the PC and NPC. Skips will have a max word count of 10,000 and an adjusted grading scale to reflect an emphasis on quality, as you will be given ample time to prepare and write. There will also still be mods, though reduced.
You will be allowed to learn techs during the skip, which won't costs tech slots. You may also learn a master tech if you are training with a master, though you may only learn one master tech from each master you train with during the skip. The number of techs will be disclosed along with the skip's time frame at the end of the saga.
At the end of the month the board will be locked and skips will be graded in a timely manner. You may submit your time skip early however it will not be graded until the month is over. Once everything is graded, the site's timeline will presume. As the choices for time skip are neck and neck between 3 and 6 months, so this will also serve as a poll between those two choices. We hope with all the information at your disposal we will be able to get a definitive answer.
Also, today starting PLs will be increased a flat 24,000 pl across the board. When this happens everyone’s current PL, who is below 80k, will be adjusted accordingly, with anyone who is below the new starting PLs getting the full boost. By the way, anyone who has been wanting an ally NPC, should check out the item page
