Hello! I had a question about reserving/apping two characters from the same-ish canon. The first is Credence from Fantastic Beasts and the other is Draco from Harry Potter. Technically it's all the same canon, though the characters are years apart and would never be able to meet. I was curious if I could bring them both and your thoughts on this. Thank you!

Hi there!

Because Credence and Draco are from significantly different periods of time and therefore cannot and do not interact in canon, we'd say that you're definitely able to app both! We only remind characters who play from the same/similar canons that they shouldn't have significant interactions while in the city. Go forth!

Thank you!

Hello!

So I have two questions actually with regards to both of my apps.

First one: has to do with Clark here. How would you app in a character that technically is dead? I'd like for Clark's canon point to be post BVS (or at very least post-final boss scene) but he's in a little coffin under the ground even though we know he resurrects, its impossible to know the exact parameters of that resurrection! Advice on this would be perfect.

Second question: I intend on apping an incredibly obscure character called Thom Creed from a novel called Hero. Unfortunately its wikipedia plot summary is somewhat lacking/mostly concerns itself with the set up of the novel. While this does include the 'background' and general idea of his home world I was curious if it would also be necessary to include a synopsis of the canon's full events / a personality section for the character? Just asking so I'd have a little heads up as it might take a while to write it all out!

Thank you so much <3

Hi there!

In regards to question #1, the mod team took a look at the synopsis for Batman vs Superman, specifically Superman's death and then implied resurrection, and would like to suggest the following points:

Clark can certainly make his "wish" in the moments just before his death, such as while he's being stabbed, or just after, when he realizes he'll die from the attack. This is very common for characters who would otherwise die in their canons!

If Clark chose to make a wish just before his canon death, he would be summoned to Cuddle City directly after. This would mean that any canon events in the movie after his death would not be part of his IC knowledge during his stay in the city.

The redemption of his wish stone, upon completion of his required contributions to the city, would enable him to return back to his earth to be resurrected. If you chose to canon update him to the very end of the movie, or to a sequel or other movie connected to the universe, you could do so this way.

For question #2, after reviewing the provided wiki entry, we do not feel that it would be necessary to write out a full synopsis of the events of Thom's life. However, if there are important plot events that shape his personality that you feel are missing, we (and other players who may be less familiar with the canon) would certainly appreciate having them detailed in the application for better understanding of the character.

Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the quick response that actually makes everything a lot easier to work with!

Would it be possible to add some code for textarea boxes containing the prominent ✔ and ✗ responses to go along with the OKCuddle code? Please and TY!

Hello! We've updated the OKCu code to have handy copypaste texts for the responses. Thank you for the heads up.

hi there! sorry to bother you guys--i just had a quick question regarding housing. i was wondering if it's possible for two characters to share a place/have a 2 bedroom apartment? i know it says to handwave preferred layouts but i didn't see anything about different number of rooms and didn't want to overstep.

graves and credence were previously living together in eudio for comfort/safety reasons on credence's part so we were wondering if we could carry that on over here if possible. thanks so much in advance!!

Hello there!

Typically, the housing assignments provided to new volunteer citizens are meant to accommodate only one citizen. However, if Graves and Credence requested this arrangement, the administration is willing to have made the appropriate arrangements. Upon move-in, the pair will find — rather than the standard issue double bed — a very beautiful, very sturdy bunk bed. Ah, space constraints. Gotta love them.

Of course, volunteer citizens are more than welcome to move into other, larger accommodations (ones that are decidedly less dorm-style and more like an actual apartment) once they've obtained the financial means — e.g. obtained a job in the city, or perhaps by entering the city-wide scavenger hunt (all participants receive an additional week's worth stipend, even if they don't win the grand prize!).

Percival will be consolidated into Credence's previous housing assignment, BETA BUILDING, FLOOR ONE, WEST UNIT.

The Cuddle City Mods

Oh my god a bunk bed I love it. Thank you guys so much!!

Side note--will there be a post for jobs/job listings in the city at some point? Graves was previously working as director of security for the police force at his previous game which was i think more of a handwaved/npc establishment, but if possible he'd def want to get back into that line of work if it's an option at Cadelle.

Thank you again guys I promise no more questions after this!!!

You got it, dude! o7

A jobs listing page is most certainly on its way, so keep your eyes peeled and locked in on our Plurk page for an announcement!

(Also, please! Feel free to ask a billion questions! We love and welcome 'em!)

1) Can Kieren get a job at the art museum?

2) Apping in another character from the same canon (IE Cassian from Rouge One). As the rebels were pretty much forgotten to time most likely by Hux's star dates, he wouldn't know who Cassian is, and probably wouldn't talk to him...would that be ok? (were they on the same side it would be different, but rebel vs first order, they would avoid one another)

Hi there!

1. Yes, Kieren can absolutely get a job at the art museum! We're actually working on an occupations page right now, so keep your eyes peeled in the near future for that.

2. In regards to having both Cassian and Hux in-game, we believe that they're both so far-removed from one another in their universe that we don't mind! App away, dear one.

Thanks for reaching out, and feel free to contact us in the future with any other questions!

i have a question relating directly to jack. idk if the mods know bioshock (spoilers ahead if you don't and don't want spoilers!) but jack was grown in a lab rather than being, y'know, a normal person. he was made in 1956, bioshock takes place in 1960, so technically he's only 4 years old. however, he's both 18+ in body (aka the artificially grown part), and also has 18+ years of fake but real-feeling memories planted in his brain, including 2 years that he spent from 1958-60 actually living this life out before he made it to rapture.

basically my question is would he be appable or is that kind of pushing it?

Edited 2017-08-15 18:13 (UTC)

Hi there!

Thanks so much for reaching out. Because Jack has the physiological body of an (at least) 18 year old and has the memories and mentality of an 18 year old, he's suitable for apping into Cuddle City! We'd likely recommend noting this in the "AGE" portion of the application, but an explanation similar to the one provided here will suffice!

We hope to see your app in the future!

Hey mods! I asked this in the chat on Discord but it was suggested that this was a better venue. It doesn't actually apply to this month for me personally but I know that things get really hectic at work sometimes and my ability to sit down and tag is super limited because my time at home is super limited. On months like that, I wonder if there's a way that we can skip doing an open post or network that might end up having to ignore the majority of responses it gets and just tag out to the number of things we know we can handle that month?I would just hate to know that a particular month is going to be really busy at work and I really can't juggle more than two or three logs and maybe an OkCuddle thread or network post thread and because I have to have an open post, I can only respond to one or two of the people that hit it back. I don't want to have to ignore anything else that comes in after that in order to keep up on a crazy work month, but I also wouldn't want to fail activity. What would be the best course of action in your opinion, in a situation like this?

I'm just going to add on a possible suggestion for this, saying as I'm not the biggest fan of the engagement rule as it stands. Would it be possible to make the engagement portion a tlevel/post *or* an ac qualifying length thread with new cr? Because I know the rule is there to help prevent exclusivity, maybe that could be a decent alternative solution for players who don't have time or don't want to force out a post/tlevel for whatever reason.

Sorry for piggybacking, it was just something that occurred to me as an alternative option.

Don't be sorry, I personally actually really love that idea. That's usually how I try to tag out when I can, anyway, to be honest so that's right up my alley for an alternative I could 100% get on board with.

Hey there! We really appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention, and are glad to provide a little clarity and suggestions on how to balance AC requirements and life's understandably more hectic moments.

For the community engagement portion of our AC, our goal is to foster the opportunity for both existing and new players to interact with a wider range of our cast. In past games, the mod team has noted that without a requirement for an open post of some kind (including starter comments on event logs), it can be difficult for some players to find opportunities to engage with the entire cast.

We know that not everyone shares the same desires when it comes to plot or CR, and so we do not expect every character to post to every event or to make the same types of open posts. Whether you choose to have a character share something on the network, engage in an event, or offer a slice of life starter in an open log post, we simply ask that you provide at least one opportunity for other players to engage with you outside of the inbox or OKCuddle application.

In regards to top level comments on mod-hosted event posts, we have noticed that players have been exceptionally dedicated to providing great starters, in some cases even providing three or four great starters for the same event. While we in no way want to diminish what a wonderful gift this is to your fellow players, we do want to remind our cast that a single open starter perfectly meets the qualifications for a community engagement post.

If time and availability are concerns for any of our players, we would like to remind our cast that the welcome event, typically hosted on the first of each month, is the best possible place for a top level. These welcome events are usually very laid-back, and by being hosted at the beginning of the month, provide the maximum opportunity for tagging back as time allows.

While we appreciate the suggested substitution of tagging out to new CR, we regrettably are unable to implement this suggestion at this time. Due to the large number of characters in game, the mod team is unfortunately unable to monitor each character's existing CR in order to verify whether provided threads are with new or pre-existing CR. In addition, we are hesitant to overcomplicate the AC requirements any more than necessary, and in our experience, substitutions often lead to confusion and/or misinterpretations.

Should extenuating circumstances prevent you from meeting AC requirements, we do offer a hiatus option when necessary, but we also want to remind our cast that they can come to the mod team privately if they'd like to discuss their specific situation. We know that things do come up, and it is not our intention to punish an otherwise wonderful player for something beyond their control.

If there are any further questions, please don't hesitate to let us know!

Okay. Thanks for the quick response. Hopefully I can keep up.

hey lovelies.

so i looked around and i can't seem to find anything about a police force! is there one? can patty join it?

Keep your eyes peeled in the next few days — an answer might be coming sooner than you think! ;)

(The non-vague answer: YES ABSOLUTELY.)

xoxo,
The Cuddle City Mods

SPANK YOU.

idk how tacky this question is but for the first AC requirement, is there a necessary amount of comments/replies as well, or is the top level itself sufficient?
