Hey Star Army! It's getting close to 2014, and that means the Star Army in-game year will change to YE 36! What does this mean for Star Army?
1. Theme Change
YE 35 was the year of exploration. GMs worked to make plots happen that showed new parts of the SARPiverse and to create a bigger "frontier" that would be a space for indie plots. Before that, we focused on aspects of the NMX war metaplot. In YE 36, i want to shift towards it being the year of development, where we take underutilized parts of the SARP, polish them up, and use them in the RP. This could be neglected species, planets, and characters, as well as revamps of existing locations that make them bigger and more friendly to RP in. More than anything I want to start putting more plot hooks in wiki articles, seeding the setting with RP fuel for both Open RP and future GMed plots.
2. End of the Year Events
We've got holidays coming! There's the Yuletide holidays, Lewis Pasco day, the Halloween Trick-or-Treat threads, and new years celebrations we have have in the RP. We should probably try to time-sync our plots as needed before December. This Sunday is also Plot Pride Day! It'll also be StarArmy.com's 10th anniversary of being created.
