halfbloodhillmodsHey Campers! We have a few things we'd like to discuss, so here goes.
1) Capture the Flag. Our campers have been talking about this ICly for a while, and it's time to play it out. It will occur on Wednesday, April 17th and we're gonna say Artemis is still in town at that time to cheer her Hunters on. She will then depart, stating important god business, but keep most of her campers outside of Thalia Grace at Camp Half-Blood to keep them safe in the days ahead.
Note that Capture the Flag is SUPER SERIOUS, like, there are actual weapons involved. Think of it as a demigod training exercise. Play to win. Take prisoners. Injure your fellow campers. Fight for your lives! Only not really, Chiron's not going to let anyone get seriously hurt. If it's your first year in Camp, think of it as a way to prove yourself.
Basically, have fun, go crazy.
Speaking of Mounukhia, cake cooking is actually today (but obviously backtag friendly), and offering of the cakes is on Sunday, and the festival itself is Monday April, 15th.
2) Norse mythology. Our first Norse mythology applicant has arrived (hi Roni/kid Loki!), and we're sad to report that unfortunately the mods are still nailing down the final details for it. BUT one thing that is essential to the Norse mythos is that everything is coming from a post-Ragnarok standpoint. Did Gaea engineer Ragnarok? Well, probably. All of the gods have a Post-Ragnarok identity, and as a result of Ragnarok, are experiencing memory loss and power loss, i.e. no need to fear campers, they are no more powerful than Percy Jackson. Hera/Juno/the other gods will be guiding them to Camp. Ragnarok being a destruction of the gods, their powers, their organization and control, etc. It's actually the end of the world, but obviously we're... waiving that part. Merely a sign of the end of the world. Thanks a lot, Gaea.
We'll keep you posted as more details are forthcoming.
3) Day changes. THIS IS A BIG ONE. So big that there's gonna be a POLL about it. We'll leave voting open for a week, or until a majority of players have voted - whichever comes first.
Now that we've been playing in this quaint little sandbox for a while, we wanted to see how everyone felt about how things are working. In this instance, it's day changes, but let us know if you have any other strong feelings. What this means is, how in-game time passses vs real time. So, for example, x amount of days IRL = 1 game day.

Should we change the ways day change in HBH?
