Hey guys! Thanks to all your feedback and some discussion between the mods, these are the results of the HTG going forward.
No points cap! On reflection, this idea just doesn't suit the current playstyle of the majority of PhanRift. The last thing we want is to make people feel discouraged from tagging and being active! Instead of capping points, we're currently looking into ways of expanding the points system and introducing more things for you guys to invest points in. We've come up with a really cool system that's going to give you guys more stuff to do both IC and OOC and we're really excited to show it off! We're not quite ready to pull back the curtain but we're hoping to get some more details to you guys soon!
Opt-Out posts will be encouraged but not mandatory! The original intent behind their introduction was to open further avenues of communication between players about issues that maybe didn't need to be dealt with on a mod level. Because we still feel this is a valuable idea to pursue, we'll be suggesting players make one in their acceptance forms when they get into the game, but we won't be enforcing their creation for everyone. After listening to what you all had to say, it became clear that making them mandatory just isn't what would suit the needs of the PhanRift playerbase. So thank you again for everyone's feedback and I apologize to anyone who was caused any undue anxiety about the prospect of these bad boys going up.
To address a worry that popped up once or twice, though – opt-out posts were never intended to serve as any sort of replacement of OOC conflict resolution by the mods where called for. They're simply another tool for players and we, the mod team, to use to keep PhanRift a chill and safe place for everyone who plays here!
And that about wraps things up! Feel free to use this toplevel to provide us some more feedback on the results of this HTG session. Thanks so much to everyone who participated!
