The nature of our game is changing. What began as an adventure to cleanse an area and re-open a lost Caern has turned into a group of Garou and Fera resting on their laurels and enjoying an easy life. While that's often an enjoyable escape, it's not what was originally intended. As a result, I now announce that we will undergo a soft reset effective 6/1/18. The following bullet points will define the parameters of the reset.
Everyone should remember that this is not a punishment or an opportunity to assign blame. I won't tolerate anyone saying "This is so-and-so's fault" or "This is all my fault." This is an attempt to breathe new life into a game that, in my opinion, has grown stagnant. We are beginning month 10 of River of Grass with new eyes and a new direction. We are embracing the evolution of this endeavor as we move forward.

- GEOGRAPHY -
The location of the Caern will adjust by about 60 miles to be within the confines of the Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area on the outskirts of Miami. US-41 runs through this area, so vehicular travel will be much more possible. This will necessitate the Shroud to be firmly in place and patrols to be at maximum discretion. The Uktena Sept, which will be renamed, will be a close neighbor within the preserve and the two Septs will share a common Bawn. This will allow frequent traffic between the two areas and the city. - CHARACTERS -
All Fera characters will be removed from play OR may be transitioned to Garou (certain relationships in this case will need to be reworked, obviously). All Garou and kinfolk characters may remain; however, if the players wish to retire any characters and replace them with another, this is an ideal time and no questions will be asked. - PLOT -
All plots currently in place will be rescinded for the time being. No further advancement will take place. At ST discretion, they may be rediscovered at a later date to be determined. - STAFF -
Effective as of the date of this post, JesseL is no longer an ST, but is still to be trusted as a Narrator. Please respect him as such. Lack of respect for duly appointed staff members will not be tolerated. This will require a much greater time commitment on my part. Your patience is appreciated. - ATTENDANCE -
If you are not online and in character at least two times a week, you should expect to miss a lot of details. In the interest of ST sanity, I will not use my valuable time writing personal plot for anyone who won't participate at least 8 hours a week. Those are my Power Players. I'm no longer holding back plot until "more people are here." I understand that, like Fight Club, you determine your own level of involvement. Unlike Fight Club, please, please talk about us. Invite your friends. Recruit from other games. Poach from other games. I don't care. What I do care about is when I log on and there are 2 people in OOC and both are in varying degrees of AFK. Remember, my only compensation for STing games for you is the satisfaction of seeing you enjoy yourselves.
