Update

This week:

Word count requirements for written prompts will be adjusted. (Note, these changes will not go into effect immediately just to keep things tidy. Look for official updates with new rules likely in July). 

• Prompts: Secondary requirement word count reduced from 1200 to 900.
• Acts: Requirement reduced from 1000 to 900
• Notes: Should fit together better with mini-requirements being 300 words and potentially allowing for subbing of three 300 word mini acts in place of full acts later on when we're able to expand quests/guilds/etcetc. 

Misc: 

~Talked a bit about mods having more freedom with event rewards and plans in general. I think there's been a hesitancy for the mod team to overstep here, but hopefully moving forward the team with have a little breathing room to explore events/rewards more freely. ovob

~Floating ideas for additional sources for EC/AP each month that won't cause too much overhead for mods. 

~More work on sub type goodness. Mmm.. fishnin. (Heck, I'm excited again)

~Discussing smaller scale breedings now that kittsunami scale baby splosions will be retired

~Need to pick up pending trait questions. I would love to do a little bit of work on expanded trait guidelines for problem traits. 

~Some talk about seeing what things we can do with the site/what we've been backburnering to get the major features finished, but this is something that will take time and will involve discussing with cy first. So keep in mind that any significant updates to the site after this point will be a ways out. 

~Tentative plans for Starfall Faire

Planned changes to Patreon:

Right now I'm focusing on general queue, discord catchup and getting admin tasks cleared up, but adjustments to Patreon are still high on my priority list. Before the end of the month I'll be updating the reward tiers a little bit to try to be more transparent with expectations. We do have plans for expanding on lifetime rewards and exploring what the website will allow us to do as far as integration, but those are definitely things that will need a lot of attention. 

There's also a lot of concern with messing with currencies and how they interact with the site, specifically from a coding perspective. Integration with Patreon has been very finicky, so that's an additional point of care when looking at everything to make sure we're not breaking things unexpectedly. It's definitely a less flexible area as far as making changes that don't directly involve cy coming in to adjust code every time.

Me stuff:

~Would love to try and keep the Wed streams for now. Next stream on Wed at 5:30 pst PST again, probably back to queue things.  

~Will be unavailable tomorrow but should be picking up DMs on Sunday/Monday. Hopefully I can catch up with that since I know there are some that have been sitting.

~Happy weekend all, hope you fellow west coasters have been able to stay cool x_x
