Hey, everyone!
Temporary Journal Log Update
Bonus Crown Token
Future Shop Plans
- We have a few updates today, and if you read all the way through and have set up all of your Character Journals, you'll be eligible for some rewards!
Temporary Journal Log Update
- In July 2021 we asked that players check that they had created a journal for each of their characters. Since then, we’ve posted a few reminders about this project, most recently in July 2024, and we were finally able to compile character information for characters that did not have a journal linked from the Master Character List. We’ve set up a the Temporary Journal Log to log these characters.
There are many reasons why a character might not have had a journal set up, but with so many characters in play, we really needed to make sure that all of them were accessible. Full information about the Temporary Journal Log can be found in the thread, but we've included an overview of it in this announcement.
Moving forward, players should be diligent about setting up quests after claiming a new character and should apply for a stamp as quickly as possible. There are many situations which might prevent a player from being able to set up a journal after acquiring a character, such as delays in receiving a stamp or art, so characters may be logged in the Temporary Journal Log in the interim between when a character is acquired and when the player can set up a journal. While every situation may be different, players will generally have a month between when the character is claimed and when staff will consider adding any information to the thread. The Temporary Journal Log is only intended to make information easy to access without needing to check multiple threads; rather than needing to consult a dropoff thread and check the Application/Accepted Quest threads, all information related to a new character can be found here until the player can set up a journal. If a player has a stamped quest but is waiting on the art, the character may be added to this list without the art; if the player has art but has not set up a quest, the art will be logged here.
If you have created a thread for your character's journal but have not included official art and their approved quest form, staff may create a post for the character with that information and add it to the Temporary Journal Log.
If you have a character logged in the Temporary Journal Log but set up a journal for them, you will be able to contact The Space Cauldron with the link to their journal! As long as your journal includes all official art and the information from their approved quest, we will be able to remove them from the Temporary Journal Log and update the Master Character List! Players who need to set up a journal can also message the mule if they would like to be PM’d the information we have for their characters; our goal is to make it easy for players to set up journals for their characters, so we’re happy to help however we can! If players cannot find any official art of their character, please contact the mule and we’ll do our best to locate the art! No one will be punished if their art cannot be located but all players are expected to make an effort to include shop art. If you cannot locate your character's approved quest, or if the thread is locked and you cannot easily copy the information to move to a journal, please also reach out to staff and we can help!
The Temporary Journal Log currently only lists powered characters, but it will be updated as time allows. As we move forward in our efforts to make sure all character information is easily found and accessible, we will be updating the Temporary Character Log to include new characters that are acquired and over a month old without a journal as well as existing characters whose journals are empty. As such, please check that all of your journals are updated with the necessary information! If you are struggling to find any information, please reach out to The Space Cauldron and we can help!
Having up to date journals is important for many reasons (it helps your RP partners, it makes it easier for us to avoid overlapping spheres/magic, and it enables more IC and OOC recognition). Setting up and maintaining journals can be time-consuming, but we appreciate everyone's efforts!
Bonus Crown Token
- To say thank you, we’d like to offer 1 Crown Token to everyone who sends in a complete log of all of their characters with links to their journals! To claim this, you will need to make sure that all of your characters have a journal, and that each journal has all stages of their official art and contains their approved profile. Players will have until 11:59 PST on Saturday, August 31st to PM The Space Cauldron. Afterwards, they can post in the Crown Tokens Information and Claims log to claim ‘Character Journal Bonus’. You can only claim one Crown Token regardless off how many characters you have. If you are having difficulties locating a stamped quest or art, please include that in your PM! If you have claimed characters that do not have a stamp, you must complete their quest and post for a stamp. Once the character is approved, you can set up their journal! If you are waiting on art for a character but have a stamped quest, please just note that and link to your stamped quest!
Future Shop Plans
- We have a few more updates planned to release in the near future, including some general clarifications and expanded information to help with plotting certain features. We also have some fun things for the Negaverse!
We are also planning on rehoming several characters, so if you are interested in creating a fresh start for some beautiful characters, please plan to be below character cap! These characters will count as event wins so will not go on a cooldown, and will be free to grow on templates. However, to be eligible to win any rehomed characters, you’ll need to be below Character Cap. To help, we’d also like to give everyone 1 Henshin Pen to use towards growing a character! This can only be claimed once per person, and you must log it as ‘Shop Grant - August 2024’ when you claim in your Growth Item Log!
