March 2018 Newsletter

 

 

Another great month has come and gone for OwlGaming. This newsletter will be a bit smaller than those of the past which condensed a lot of content. Now that we are having these more regularly, the content will be shorter and easier to digest. Lots of happenings are going on behind the scenes and the staff team is busy as usual. Enjoy!

 

Faction Team

 

Seeing the success of our Faction Team characters, we've decided to continue our endeavors and follow this path some more to create some roleplay in the server and provide factions with unique experiences. We have multiple complex story lines underway and are working with admins, faction team members and players alike for these events to create not just diverse and interesting role play for the staff members that participate but for the players that help as well (and of course, the primary roleplay goes to the factions themselves).

 

Glimpses into these events and hints towards the future with them can be seen in articles written by @Wright recently.

 

 

 

I encourage everyone to read the most recent Faction Update. It contains a ton of information as a result of our meeting not long ago. An update since the most recent Faction Team Update is that we have had some more resignations from the team due to real life issues of some members leading to inactivity. As such, there is currently a backlog of contacts which we're going through as I write this.

 

Rule Changes

 

Sexual Roleplay Changes

 

The topic below got a ton of interaction with the community and lots of discussion ensued. We are always striving to allow as much freedom in the community to exist but we are aware that some topics for people are very sensitive and it's clear this is one of those topics. The majority of the community voted and we did decide to revise the rules. As Chaos points out in the last post, the following changes are as seen below.

We banned sexual roleplay involving those younger than sixteen. Sixteen is the minimum non-admin approved age, is treated as an adult for our crime sheets ICly, and is the age of consent in many countries.

Easter Hunt 2018

 

The Easter Hunt was a fantastic event as usual, provides a bit of variety in the server and gives us something to do while celebrating some common holidays. It brings the community closer and has a bit of a reward too! Many hundreds of eggs were found throughout the server by our players scouring the map intensely and a lottery was drawn. Of the eggs found and lottery numbers that resulted, below are the winners.

 

77110, 69701, 93306, 48060, 82892

Community Spotlight

 

Interesting Article

 

Portside wrote an interesting article about a shooting recently outside of a club which sparked a lot of great roleplay for many people involved, causing the intervention of the District Attorney to evaluate the complex case. Lots of trickle down roleplay is occurring in turn for the LSPD, lawyers, security guards at the scene, club-goers, etc.

 

Character Stories

 

Check out what @Vubstersmurf and @Matey have created recently. Some great screenshots and a nice little story to check out. We encourage everyone to write their character stories, it'll bring a closer connection to you and your character so you can roleplay them better and share your experience with others.

 

 

 

Piney's Roleplay Initiative

 

Recently @Piney went to the mall and offered free sandwiches to create some roleplay. This may not sound like very much but this ended up bringing 25 people to the mall and created a whole roleplay scene that lasted 2 - 3 hours. We really commend his efforts as a player to generate a roleplay scene and this kind of creative thinking is exactly how it's done! Below is a screenshot of his beautiful sammich table.

 

 

( Thanks to @JameZ for pointing this out this scene to us. )
