It's astounding.
Time is fleeting...
It's time for a Time Warp!
What do I mean by that? All of the threads will be as if a precognitor or a postcognitor was having a vision of character interactions. The players will be playing the characters several-to-many years in the future or past. Past threads are expected to be canon, future threads could be declared canon or non-canon to the site.
All threads should have a timestamp in the first line.
Remember to link back to your threads in this thread! This event ends Feb. 29.
As Hammel approaches March and our second birthday, I've found we've started a comfortable pattern for the events. They can be broken down into two groupings: Bi-Monthly and Special.
Bi-Monthly Events are major ones, that are open for about two months. There is always one of these happening or about to happen. (Some require sign-ups that last for the first week of the first month.) These include Time Warps, Thread Roulettes, Power Swaps, and other major things that allow for many plots and threads to happen. In a six month period, there will be one Time Warp, one Thread Roulette, and something else. The Time Warps are on a schedule--Jan/Feb and Jul/Aug--and the other two will switch depending on what we have planned. Because the Thread Roulettes are so different each time, and the Time Warps allow for anyone to create whatever threads they want, it shouldn't be a problem having them so frequently. (They are also insanely popular.)
Special Events are In-Character Events, things like dances, town-sponsored parties, field trips, fairs/carnivals, and the like. They typically run for about one month, but are set on scheduled days. These happen sporadically, depending on player interest and the time of year. These kind of events can also be organized by players! If you want to hold an event, PM Dryope or me, or post in the Suggestion Thread.
