ENABLE ME TIMBERS: APRIL 2025

YO HO HO EVERYONE! This is an ATP/EMP post where players can make cast requests for people to app into, or make ads for characters they are considering bringing into the game. It works like any other ATP/EMP, but we do have a few things to note down:

» Invitations are required to reserve and apply! But you can go ahead and post to the ATP/EMP post with a note you need an invite. If you know a current player, they can comment here to submit their invite for approval. Direct requests to the mods are currently closed.

» We have a 65 player cap.

» Players can only app 2 characters at once with a max limit of 3 in game. But since this is an ATP/EMP, feel free to put more if you're having trouble deciding!

» Our Game Info should cover everything you need, from basic premise summary to the nitty gritty details of the game mechanics. If you have any questions, post them there.

» Just want to make it clear that this is not a claims page. While we give priority to whoever is on the Reserve list, we do allow app challenges, and there is no rule against multiple players TDMing the same character. Of course we don't want there to be too much conflict, so everyone please be polite no matter who it is.

» TDM is Saturday, April 19. This TDM will double as our "Oh Snap" event, but we will include a traditional "starter prompt" for TDM specific characters. Everything will be carried over as canon!

» Reservations open Thursday, April 24th.

» Applications open Thursday, May 1st.

» Use the following codes to write up your character or cast ad!

CHARACTER ADS:

SAIL WITH ME: APRIL 2025

We also include a designated toplevel for Crew Recruitment where players can make OOC ad posts for others to either join or request to join or make a crew. This is all for OOC coordination, so you'll have to figure out how it works ICly.

MANTA BOARD: APRIL 2025

The MANTA Board is posted every month, but the quests are on a "2 month cycle." This means quests can last for two months with possible updates or new additions in the second month before it completely refreshes for the next cycle.

Quests are separated into five categories and all have flat point values: General (4pts), Corsair (4pts), Paladin (4pts), Bounties (6pts), and Specials (12pts). Note: characters helping opposing armada quests will only be rewarded 2pts for participation unless specified otherwise. Special quests won't always be available so it may appear blank at most times. These can range from group quests such as for special ship upgrades or island related quests, or they could be special event quests. All quest points can be used for the Rewards Shop.

For this month's board update, the quests have been updated to reflect progress from last month, with some carrying over as is.

If you have any questions, comment to this entry.

ACTIVITY CHECK: MARCH 2025

Ahoy, mateys! Here be the monthly Activity Check!

In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting:

People who were arrested/abducted in March, and anyone who is preparing for April. Were they arrested? Abducted? Did they break out? Rescued? By who? Please note down any developments regarding this quest.
How much kudzu was cleared up?
Koroks that were helped.
Treasures and pillars found.
Any cures or solutions made for the thornblind curse.
Any progress made on finding the mad alchemist.
Was the baby whale found?
Was the living bookmark captured?

Please check our Activity Check guidelines on our Game Info page for complete details, but here is the quick list of what you need to know:

» Only threads dated from March 1st through March 31st count towards the month's activity. (With the exception of certain backdated threads, read the linked AC guidelines for more details.)

» Activity requires one thread of at least 5 comments. The comment count is from your character.

» Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count, only the threads within the posts. TDM threads with non-game characters will count.

» Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. For the sake of ease, we would like the two threads linked together.

» You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to submit your AC unless there are other circumstances.

» Because we are a capped game, there is no strike system. If you do not make the AC requirements, you will be cut.

» Bonus AC points: All extra non-quest threads not used for AC will be worth 2 extra points that can be used for reward redemption. Please check our Rewards page for more details.

There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Monday, March 31st 11:59PM US Eastern.

EXTRA FIELDS: This is not required and completely optional, but included in the submission form are two optional fields: Extra and MANTA Board Posting.

For the Extra field, this is just a space for players to note anything that occurred in their threads that they think might be fun for us to know. So if something particularly interesting happened (for example: discovering a new creature or location, an old artifact, or perhaps a character has stolen something), we highly encourage players to jot them down! Who knows, we may even find a use for it… In addition, we may ask players to submit certain activity related to an event.

You may also submit MANTA board requests to be included in the upcoming board. We will try to add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board or a time we deem fitting. If you don't have one in mind at the time of AC, you can post it later to the upcoming Captain's Log announcement.

If you have any questions, ask them here.

FORM: Fill out the following form and comment directly to this post. If you have multiple characters, please put them in one comment.

Hey everyone, I'm kicking off the dust here be enacting a player plot!

Nappa's decided he's going to make a lot of money really fast by kidnapping Princess Zelda and forcing her boyfriend (with all his bed-buying money) Darin to pay her ransom if he wants her back. Just to be safe though, he's going to capture her just before this month's full moon and make sure the handover happens the night of, so if (when) things go badly, he'll have a surprise handy:

It's time for a Great Ape fight!

There are three main parts to this event.

Fight Great Ape Nappa
While there will be a main fight against Darin, in order to open things up a bit, other characters will have the chance to fight Nappa as well, maybe during lulls or in-betweens or what-have-yous. Since a giant monkey in space armour is likely to attract attention, even if Nappa is trying to keep to a relatively quieter part of Elah. I'd like to keep these threads to maximum of 7, and they will by necessity need to be brief; more than AC length, less than twenty posts at best. Characters can also be injured by Nappa, if you so desire.

If you're concerned about Dragon Ball power level bullshit, and don't know if your character could reasonably contribute, it's also important to know that Nappa is weaker in Escordvi; his Great Ape form is smaller, and not as powerful as it would normally be, thus allowing other characters to give him a run for his money.

Zelda Rescue
Furthermore, as Darin will otherwise be occupied with monke, we will need someone to rescue Zelda. This also gives the opportunity to be injured when Vegeta explodes, but not killed thanks to Zelda befriending the Saibaman while its prisoner. Also, please take note that I would prefer that this role be reserved for existing Zelda CR.

Saibaman Attacks
Besides Vegeta the Saibaman, Nappa will also be backed up by the rest of his pack. However, Saibamen are mischievous and malicious and Nappa's not exactly the most attentive guy, so they may wander off to other parts of Elah to cause mischief that other characters will need to put a stop to. This way, even if people don't want to directly participate in the fight, they can still deal with Nappa's Saibamen running rampant. Do with them as you like in these toplevels, even kill them. They are entirely disposable, but tougher than they look! There's a reason this pose is such a meme you know!

Taking Place
While the event itself will take place on the night of the full moon, I'm not actually going to start it until Saturday, February 22nd, so as to give people time with the event, and because that's when my Reading Week is so I won't be burdened with school and can focus more properly on this. Also, the "full moon" won't have a specific in-game date so as not to conflict with this month's event.

Sign-ups for the Great Ape are here, Zelda Rescue here and questions can also be asked here as well.

Sign-ups are currently Open
