Game Enhancements and a Poll

As mentioned in our FAQ section on Prayers, for all prayers and missions that don't involve a requirement to destroy an ayakashi, there is no requirement for the requesters to be a bonded god-shinki pair. Gods can pair up with gods, shinki can pair up with shinki, gods can pair up with shinki they are not bonded to, etc.! However, we understand that fulfilling prayers and missions this way is unconventional, so we hope that our next suggestion will make that easier.
When we post the CR Meme in just a few more hours, we are going to start it with 2 top levels, to get players help fulfilling prayers and missions:
- One for players who have a clear idea of how they want to fulfill the prayer or mission, but just needs other players/characters involved.
- One for players who know they want to fulfill a prayer/mission, but needs help brainstorming ideas for how to fulfill them. Anyone - including moderators - could answer these requests, with no expectations that the same people answering might be involved in the final prayer/mission thread.
By popular demand, we have created an OOC Contact Post to mirror our existing IC Contact Post. This is our first step in enabling more access points to metaplot for players, as well as more visibility. You can also find it linked it near the bottom of the navigation bar between "mod contact" and "npc contact".
We hope that by using this format, mods and players both can better keep track of requests and discussions with NPCs. Additionally, should we ever have to transition NPC players again - knock on wood - this might help make that process a little bit smoother.
We have added several new Regains to the game, with a focus on manifesting abilities that various Gods in Noragami canon display. We also chose to discount the two most expensive Regains (the new Alternate Form and Extra Power) for those characters who take advantage of moving their temples to the Northeast/Southeast Districts.
Some of these abilities can be purchased with Shinki exp and two require it by design, as our first Regains that require BOTH followers and exp: Improved Shinki Connection and Long-Distance Shinki Calling.
Two new Regains need a catch-up response similar to when we revisited Spells: Shrine on Near Shore and Purification Springs. Many Gods already had these in-game for various reasons, some from previous events, and we are not trying to say that those go away. We just want to document them going forward, so that new players will know they are options. Please respond to our comment below if your character already had more than 1 shrine on the Near Shore (the 1st is always in Japan) for any reason. Please also do this if your character has Purification Springs at their Temple (in the Far Shore) or at a Shrine (on the Near Shore). Thank you very much!
With the increased number of potential Regains, as well as increased participation by players in requesting them, we would like to propose a Suggestion: Should we change the Regain page to use one top-level per character?
If we do change the Regain page, we would take advantage of the opportunity to make the page with the ListsOfFortune account to better assist the List Mods. We could link a character's Regain top level on the Taken Page, so that's another question on the poll. This would allow us to keep the page a little cleaner by screening a whole character's top level if they dropped.
Votes are anonymous. We will close the poll at the end of March.
Our next post after the CR Meme will be our State of the Game, which should officially conclude our mod transition efforts, and event announcement for April.
Thank you very much to all of our players - you make the game possible!
