OOC NETWORK

Hey, hey, hey!

We're working out the logs to get going for the liberation of a couple villages on the outskirts of the Dark Area now, using the previous organization post as a basis. I'm here to inform you how it's going to be going down.

Each village will be divided into two threads - one for the Distraction Team, and one for the Rescue Team. For the Distraction Team it'll just be a matter of fighting to pull Virus Buster forces away. Absolute defeat of their enemies isn't necessary, merely the act of holding them off for awhile. The Rescue Teams will meanwhile move to execute their plans to get citizens from the village.

So that we don't have to worry as much about tag orders and in the interest of moving things along in the threads, we'll be using a tagging system similar to what was utilized during the Chaosmon battle.

So here's a refresher:

-The threads will be led by [Green Tags] and [Red Tags.]
-When a Green Tag is up in any particular thread, tagging can commence off that Green Tag only. Multiple people can tag off the same tag, and there's no need to maintain an order unless, obviously, you are responding to one another directly. This being a more focused event where interaction is necessary, this clearly may happen more than during Chaosmon's fight.
-When the Red Tag goes up, advancement of the scene stops. Between this Red Tag and the next Green Tag, NPC and moderator actions will be taken to advance the log. When the next Green Tag goes up, you lather, rinse, and repeat.
-In this log, all major NPC actions will be controlled by moderators. Primarily in this case it will be J, Razorsaw, and Ken. This especially applies to Virus Buster troops. Unlike the Chaosmon Wraith Army, all Virus Buster reactions to attacks and their own retaliation will be controlled by us.

The example of how this may work is as follows:( Example )

Luckily, this will be much easier to distinguish with Dreamwidth and having subject lines, as opposed to how it went on LJ.

As this is a chaotic situation, victory is not promised.

As well, there is going to be some room for a couple wild cards to enter the scene, possibly. It will depend on how the scenes advance and the situations the teams find themselves in. This will require you approach moderators directly. Keep in mind that only a few of these will be allowed.

Just letting everyone know there's a massively important plotting post up at the plots comm.

So.

digital_dive, which now takes over for your individual journals in posting to the D-Comm Network, and dive_logs are now back and open for business.

BASICALLY, again, things have gone like this: Due to personal complications and technical difficulties, we aren't yet done with the Chaosmon battle, though it only has a round or two left. We'll be finishing it as soon as we can, but in the meantime, all a lot of characters will need to know is the basics.

The basics being, through the combined power of the Zero ARMS (constituting the Orochi Cannon, the Halberd, the Garuru Cannon, and the Omega Sword) and the strength of the Tamers on hand, Chaosmon was defeated. While the Halberd remains under command of the Dai-Gurren Brigade, with Simon now its Captain after Meta Knight's death, Area Leader Susanoomon has retained possession of the Orochi Cannon. The Omega Sword - now powerless - is being held temporarily by Witchenly, while the Garuru Cannon has been lost in the Net Ocean's waters. Where has it gone? Well... that will come to pass when the time is right.

For the Tamers, and their partners, they have all been data frozen for a week solid. This happened once Chaosmon fell. Witchenly has initiated barriers to protect all frozen Tamers & Partners for the past week, but as of now, those barriers are no longer active. Your Tamers (and their partners) could now re-appear anywhere in the Digital World, the same as when they were first applied for... however! Remember that they retain all injuries from the chaotic events that took place a week ago. For their bodies and minds, it's like only a couple seconds passed. So keep that in mind. If you want to have them just appear back somewhere safe and sound, that's perfectly fine~

Your characters can come out of the freeze all at once, or one at a time. Up to you.

DATS, however, will be flinging the doors open to its medical ward. (It's already open to the public at all times, but they'll be really encouraging it in this event.) Its staff is well versed in human medicine and healing, so if you've gotten banged around real hard, you might want to consider a stay there.

Structural damage to buildings and landscape from Chaosmon unearthing himself has been repaired - except for the obvious case of Draco Island. As it was consumed by Chaosmon, it no longer is present in this world. All that remains is a crater in the ground, which has since filled with water in the past week.

We are also now initiating a new Tag System on both digital_dive and dive_logs. Most character tags have already been set in, and I'll let our lovely tacos_of_doom explain this with some liberal cutting & pasting...

( Follow the bouncing Taco! )

Note that we haven't gotten location tags up just yet - give us a little time, though. We encourage you to use these tags, as it'll allow both us and you an easier time keeping track of things!

Otherwise, thank you all for your patience and encouragement this past month or so! Have fun!

EDIT - Oh, and everyone will now find their D-Comms updated to the 2.0 design as seen in the last updates, and all Tamer Classes approved have been put into effect.
