& FAQ ;
| THE WORLD |
| 1. What setting is this game in? The game is basically set in any world you choose. All the universes are connected in some way, so your character could easily catch a train or bus and ride to the next world. However, for the purpose of plot, as of May 1, all new characters will wake up in the United States. 2. Wait, so, everything is one continent? Sort of. It's all on one plane. Imagine if our planet Earth was suddenly bigger with more land masses. That's the kind of idea. 3. My character comes from a world that doesn't have technology/computers. How will they even know how to use the journals? When your character wakes up, they'll automatically have some kind of computer around them that suits the character (a PDA, laptop, desktop, public library, what have you). They can easily ask someone what they are, how they work, etc. It's a little far-fetched, but it's just how it works. 4. What's the deal with DiaCorps? Why are they even around? DiaCorps is an American based company that originally caused the disaster with the Universal Computer. Once they realized what they did, some of the higher-ups decided they wanted to take control of the other worlds as a source of power and all that. At the moment, they're simply watching everyone, sending the Rahkshi out as information gatherers. Soon, however (read as: May 1), they'll be making changes to the world around them through the teleporters they set up. After these changes, everyone who goes through the teleporter will be transported somewhere in America, regardless of where they were wanting to go. 5. Teleporters? What the hell? Yes, teleporters. As a way of showing they want to help repair the situation, DiaCorps has been speaking with most of the leaders of each world and implanting a teleportation system to make finding ways home easier. Most major American cities have them, and the capital city of each world has one (if it's been found by DiaCorps). It's simply a faster means of travel and more often than not, free. 6. So, when our characters arrive, where are they? You can have them wake up in a world, or on the Trans atLantic. If they wake up in a world, they can get around easier. If they wake up on the Trans atLantic, then it would be easier for them to get answers. It just depends on what you want. 7. Just what is the Trans atLantic? The Trans atLantic is like a bigger AmTrak owned by DiaCorps. They use it as a way through the worlds since they haven't quite gotten the hang of the teleporters just yet. It's more reliable than the other transportations if you're going from one world to the other, but it certainly takes longer. If your character wakes up on it, the captain or car manager will find your character and give them any answers they need. |
| GAME PLAY |
| 1. Do characters post in their personal journals? Or in the main community? IN CHARACTER posts will be made in the community, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} trans_lantic. It's easier to see activity, entries can be tagged for character name, and it's less hassle to deal with friends list adds. The character's PERSONAL journal can be used for personal thoughts, plotting with other players, etc. But most activity will take place in the main community. 2. Am I required to have an instant messenger? No, not at all. As long as we have some way of communicating with you outside the game, then you're fine. Sometimes it's just easier to have an Instant Messenger for logging. 3. ...Event days? Yes, event days. They only happen once a month, and they won't be every month, so don't worry. There won't be any dorkish holiday type events, either. We try to come up with new ideas that we haven't seen in other games for events. In other words, it's just a way to make things a little interesting and fun. ♥ |
