01 November 2008 @ 08:33 pm
As mentioned in the previous (which I highly suggest you read) post, there are going to be some major changes to the format of the game, mostly involving the date-change system.
It is vital that everyone read and understand this update.
Otherwise, you might not understand what's going on in the next couple of days!
1. It has come to attention that the 3:1 RL to Jardin-day system was just not working. One, because something worth mentioning simply can't happen everyday of the week, and two, it caused things to drag and made players lose interest in the game. We're going to be scrapping that system altogether.
There will still be a date system to reflect the passage of time, however! It will no longer be one day at a time, and the time between switches will not always be three days.
The timeskips will be anywhere from perhaps just a day, to a couple of days, to a week or maybe even more! Don't worry, this will not effect logging. If you wanted to have something happen before the timeskip, simply backlog. If you want something to happen an amount of time after the current day, simply bring it up with us! 99% of the time, your request should be accepted.
As for the length of waiting time between timeskips, it will be determined by the popularity of the current event. If the current event is popular, the time will be longer. If it is not as popular, it will be shorter. And if you ever want to extend the time, we would be glad to take your request into full consideration.
Time will also be moving so it is roughly closer to the actual day in real life. That way, the events will be more seasonable, and easier to relate to.
2. Events are going to change tone a little. Jardin will still be a plot-driven, character relationship kind of game, so don't worry! We only want to reduce the story-slogging aspect a bit by peppering in some more varied events. How varied? Well, things might get a little more frantic, but it will by no means become a crack game. We're going to do our best to keep the original Jardin flavor intact while making things more entertaining.
On that note, I wanted to mention again that all plot-related ideas are accepted! Especially now! Nothing is too stupid or weird or wacky, trust me. Even if it's a plot that focuses on your character.
3. Speaking of which, It's about time we bring up how your characters are going to get their personal belongings back. We're going to make the process very simple!
All you have to do is request a fetch-quest scenario from one of the mods. Either you can pitch your own idea on how your character will find his/her item, or we'll help make one up for you! After that, if we believe that your character has been in Jardin long enough, or has made enough of an impact, we will approve/disapprove the suggestion. If we do disapprove the suggestion, we will be sure to tell you why, and about how much your character will have to do to put the plan in action.
4. Regarding duels!
Since there hasn't been a big rush in dueling, we're going to put an incentive up. If your duelist wins a duel, he or she will have a memory returned to them. If your duelist has a rose bride, he or she will also have a memory returned to them! It will be rewarded to them immediately after said duel.
However, of course, if they lose, they will have to endure a penalty. This could be quite a variety of things, and will be decided between all participating muns and approved by a moderator.
Death of the character is not an option.
More rules will be instated as the duels progress and we get used to the gist of things.
Rose brides do not have to endure penalties, since they are cut off from their duelist immediately a lost duel. That's penalty enough.
5. One last note.
Many of the upcoming events are going to exclusively effect rose bride and duelist pairs. So, if you are planning on pairing your character up with another, we suggest that you put that plan into motion as soon as possible!
And that marks the end of the current in-game changes! These rules will soon be added to the rules and plot section of the game's menu.
Please
, if you have any questions, or think that there is a problem with anything, tell us right away! It would make things much easier on us mods if you could.
Thank you for your time! I hope that these new changes will make things as fun as I think they will be. ♥

On a silent October night, the clock tower rings the coming of another day. It is now...
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3
It has been a difficult Friday, hasn't it? So many people gone, so many questions left unanswered. The mysterious picture gallery from their dreams may have disappeared, but the aftermath from it still echoes in the campus. The mysterious painting in the central hall. The boy who disappeared into the light of his painting. The president of the student council vanishing from his room at night. The disappearing students. The lacking memories of the science teacher's younger sister. So many things left unanswered. Surely, there must be questions by now.
Thankfully, Saturday is a very peaceful day. Nothing seems to be going on.
Looking for answers may be good on such a weekend...

On a late Autumn night, the clock tower rings the coming of another day. It is now...
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1
For another day, the weather remains the same. The gentle rain hammers into the campus grounds, turning ground into dirt and washing away the borders between the narrow campus roads and garden soil. And just like before, memories continue mercilessly.
And just like before, something is different this time... Among their dreams, one is no longer obscure or confusing. Every line in their sight is sharp and clean, every word is meaningful, every emotion is defined. It is like watching a scene from their memory play out in their head with perfect clarity, but without any background information important to it.
The time of memories is coming to an end, but it doesn't seem like it's going to leave easily. October is bound to begin on a somber note.

05 September 2008 @ 03:34 am
On a late September night, the clock tower rings the coming of another day. It is now...
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30
Much like yesterday, this day is eerie and nostalgic... The same gentle rain falls onto the campus, cleaning the roads and watering trees. It could even force a few complaints from students if they wouldn't have a different kind of problem. For the second day in a row, the same confusing dreams of forgotten memories visit them in their sleep.
However, something is different this time... These dreams are no longer obscure and meaningless. Certain features are somehow stronger, more precise. More meaningful and elaborate. It is like the layer of dust was blown away from the old window, giving one a clear picture. Even if there is still no sound, at the very least, they can now recognize faces.
It seems that the time of memories doesn't intend to cease anytime soon.

30 August 2008 @ 09:48 am
On a late September night, the clock tower rings the coming of another day. It is now...
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29
Everything seemed to be going fine ever since the beginning of the week, didn't it? But it seems that the students' problems are far from over. On this tiring Tuesday morning, everyone awakens from a distressing night. The meaningful dreams are back again, now even more clear and precise than before.
They differ from person to person, but there are two things in common. For one, all of them feel too much like memories, ones long lost and now slowly returning into their minds. For two, all of them seem connected to something... Events of the last few weeks, both small and large, and lingering emotions from them, seem to play heavily into these dreams. The memories of fighting spawn dreams of fighting. The dreams of affection make one dream of long-lost faces. All of them are a whirlpool of memories and emotions that appear in brief sequences, ones barely minutes long, ones that make one remember outlines of familiar scenes. But there is nothing solid. Nothing more than a temporary picture in the dust that barely lingers in one's mind once it is blown away.
If that doesn't tense the mood, the light rain, one so soft and gentle that it feels like it could belong to Summer, begins falling onto the campus. It is the kind of rain everyone experienced once in their lives, the kind that cannot help but summon a sense of nostalgia.
It seems that Tuesday is a day of memories.

On a late September night, the clock tower rings the coming of another day. It is now...
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28
Aside of the school week starting and the worried rumors of about the apparently haunted church dying down, today seems strangely quiet. No new rumors are happening and nothing particularly spectacular is going on.

On a late September night, the clock tower rings the coming of another day. It is now...
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27
Ah, Sunday. The most relaxing and peaceful day in the school week, when everyone can relax and prepare for future achievements. And with the new cafe and theatre at town, not to mention a cheap and expansive clothing store, there is sure much more to do than last Sunday, no?
However, something seems to be wrong... Instead of the usual noisy rumormongering, there are hushed whispers and strained silence. Regular students seem uncomfortable with talking about the new strange new rumor, and teachers turn unusually strained when they hear anything about it. In the end, only one thing can be confirmed.
There is an old church somewhere in the old town, and there is someone or something in that church that keeps most of the student body on edge. But what could that mysterious entity be..? Perhaps, someone is brave enough to go and find out.

15 August 2008 @ 04:03 am
On a late September night, the clock tower rings the coming of another day. It is now...
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
At long last, the long school week is over and weekend begins. There were a lot of distractions this time, though, weren't there? First Komui's chemical disaster, then the appearance of the campus caretaker, and finally, the opening of a new cafe. It certainly feels like the town is growing, doesn't it?
And now, whispers among the students claim that an old theater in town has reopened recently. According to rumors, the performances in that theater are unforgettable, sometimes surreal and always rich enough to make one lose track of time. In addition, the owner of the theater is a wise man who has lived in this town for as long as they can remember.
Now, doesn't a good play sound like a good way to spend your weekend?

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25
Following the rumors from yesterday, it sounds like the campus caretaker has made himself comfortable in the local park. According to whispers of excited students, that eccentric man can be very helpful if asked the right questions. It may prove useful for them to visit him and keep him company once in a while.
According to another rumor, a small cafe recently opened in town. Although it sounds expensive and old-fashioned, it is said that coffee and pastries there are excellent. In addition, the owner is a charismatic man who always has an interesting story to tell his guests. Visiting him could prove helpful.

Finally, the power of the transforming chemical wore down. When the students awaken in the morning, they'll discover themselves transformed back into their original forms. Of course, some of them may have fallen asleep in all the wrong places, while others will have to come up with ideas on what to do with their new clothes... But that is their own problem, is that not?
In addition, rumors say that with the recent good weather, Clow Reed, the campus caretaker, has been spotted around the campus more often. Rumors say that he can be easily found in the small gazebo in one of the campus' gardens. And as it's known that he's responsible for registering school clubs, managing living activities and general advice, maybe it could prove beneficial to find him...
