Avaritia Post-Dungeon Wrap (& June AC Results)

[cancrymods]

(the results are that everyone passed june ac lol)

Congratulations to the Executors for clearing the Avaritia Dungeon! I'm sure everyone is EXTREMELY READY to move onto the next Layer of Purgatory and I'm happy to report that the Superbia intro log will be going up on July 14th. This means there will be a ten day break between this dungeon's ending and the next Layer getting started. This is a slightly longer break than I had originally planned to give us but there's a few reasons I wanted us to have that extra time!

Part of this is giving everyone some OOC and IC time to unwind from the dungeon and to do any Memoria, power and journal housekeeping necessary before we move on. This is important because characters will be restricted to the location of Superbia during this next layer. They will not be able to leave or travel to any other layers until the Authority has been reclaimed. If there's anything you want to do on the other layers before we move on, please make sure to do so!

The second, and most important, is to take some time to make adjustments to the content of the game going forward. The Avaritia layer lasted much longer than anticipated and there were several times where it was clear there was a desire to do something but a lack of direction as to what. This is absolutely not the fault of any individual player, but more a case of the original vision and design of some of Can Cry's locations and plotting simply not gelling with the needs and playstyles of the current playerbase. Some adjustments will be made to both the Layer setups going forward as well as the Boss Combat system to hopefully trim the fat and speed things along a bit more.

I've said before that I don't want the vibe of the game to change or for things to become less chill, but when there are stretches of dead time where people are struggling to make up activity for lack of things to do, then that's a failure on my part as a mod and something I need to address. But I truly do appreciate everyone's continued patience, their dedication to the game even though the rough patches and, of course, your incredibly dank memes. I honestly can't thank you all enough!

And finally; I mentioned this briefly on Discord but we are just under a month away from the game's first anniversary! As of August 1st, Can Cry will have been running for an entire year which is kind of amazing to me?? I'd love to do something special to mark the occasion (both OOCly and even ICly, if I can get away with it!) but I'm drawing on a bit of a blank as to what! If you have any ideas as to what we should do to celebrate game's first year, please let me know!

As usual, if you have any feedback, please leave it in the comments below and thanks again for everyone's continued participation in Can Cry!

See you on July 14th!
