CR WORKSHIP: NOVEMBER 2025


Our CR Meme CR Workship is where players can drop all the cool info for their characters and try to plot with others to continue existing or create new CR. Be sure to look over the MANTA Board as well as current events if you'd like to include them in your post.

To help coordinate specific plots for players, we have a few designated toplevels that can be used to highlight particular plots, scenarios, etc. These can be useful for players who may not want to write a full comment but have ideas. Players who do write full CR comments can still use these toplevels and link their comment if you have your ideas in there instead.

  • Crew Recruitment. Players can make OOC ad posts for others to join, looking to join, or make a crew. This is all for OOC coordination, so you'll have to figure out how it works ICly.
  • Event Plotting. If there is something specific that you'd like to do or there is a prompt that you're interested in that may require more coordination, this is the place to try and hash it out! This is not for general plotting, such as "I will be doing A, B, and C;" please save those for general meme comments! Here is recap of the event notes from the Captain's Log for easy reference. This month is a mini MANTA log featuring the hunting competition. Players are welcome to make up their own creatures and locations! If you have an idea, definitely comment to this toplevel.

    Current Event Notes Recap:

    • Mini MANTA log instead of a full blown that will go up on Monday, November 10.
    • Month long hunting competition for hunters to show off their skills and either keep their kills or donate to islands and villages who may need additional supplies for the upcoming winter months.
    • The log will have examples of beasts and feature special targets (currently no known previews but can assume there will be powerful beasties). Island exploration will also be possible.
    • There will be other potential sources of conflict such as encounters with poachers, kill stealers, illegal traders, etc. Players will also have freedom to create NPCs and organizations for this.
    • There will be a disruption of baby pearly crabs and a surprise giant pearl crab appearing. The result of the crabs is open ended and will be determined by character action.
    • Other quests can be included or occur within the log, particularly the Bread Curse Continues as it features some special creatures and locations.
    • A large feast will be included at the log that is forward dated to the end of the month. Cooks will be able to showcase their skills here, and the feast also serves as a general mingling opportunity.

  • Side Plotting. This is for any personal plots or MANTA Board quests that require more coordination, perhaps to bring about a resolution or make an important discovery of some kind. Like with the Event toplevel, this is NOT for generic plotting that would fit a general meme comment.
  • Help Me Plot! Have a plot idea you want to do but have no idea how to go about and do it? You can try and workshop it here!


If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

PLAYER INFO

Player:
Contact: Preferred means of contact


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Character

Subject: Better Party?
Warnings: N/A


[ the video clicks on and Naminé smiles and waves at the camera. There's a tad bit of awkwardness there but she's doing her best to look prepared here! She even wrote notes that she has in a sketchbook she's clutching onto. It is her safety sketchbook right now. ]

First of all, I really hope everyone is doing okay after what happened at the party. I know a lot of people seemed suspicious of Ghouls Moon but...well, I was hoping for the best. I'd never really been to anything like that so...

[ She shrugs and frowns just a tiny bit. This is a deep disappointment. ]

Anyway, I really hope nobody got too hurt. And that things were dealt with? [ That one she hopes too. ]

Mainly though I wanted to see if anyone would like to come to a small party on our crew's island! I was thinking of making some things I've been working on and maybe everyone that comes could bring something too? Maybe something they love from their home! We could even set up a little information card about it. Something so that everyone could share a piece from where they're from.

If you'd be interested, let me know! And if you'd like to bring something or help with set up I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

MANTA BOARD: NOVEMBER 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). Crew quests are listed under "Specials" and are worth the same amount of points (12pts). Although these quests are intended for established crews, non-members are allowed to assist if the crew invites them. However, non-members would only receive 6pts. Similarly, 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 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.

If you wish to submit a quest, comment in the appropriate field during Activity Check with the quest written and we'll add it to the next month! Crews are also still allowed to make their own quests without our approval, but if uncertain players can comment here about them.

If you have any questions regarding any current quest, comment to this entry.

ACTIVITY CHECK: OCTOBER 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. In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting. Please include brief notes on how the situation was handled (or, in the case of a thread not being complete, how it has been handled so far and/or how you expect it to conclude if possible).

  • Any further results about Thread Wars and the missing pearl art piece
  • Results of destroying or keeping the labrubrus/lafrufrus
  • Bread curse: Any discoveries or developments regarding ovens, potential remedies or cures, illegal harvesting, or other suspicious activity
  • Nilatast: Any further investigation or discoveries, and any backstories developed for the souls


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 October 1st through October 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 Friday, October 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.
