HEAD MODAh another game, another introduction. For those who are not familiar with me, I'm Laena and Songerein is yet another game I've cooked up. I would say "final" but I'm pretty sure I said that for the last one and look where we are now. I am the creator and former head mod of the very three games that Songerein is based off of:

somarium,

empatheias,

forgottentales. You could say this game is a love letter to all of them. I'm in charge of everything, and while I do have a team to help with event production and maintenance, I'm the one who will be primarily dealing with any issues and having final say on anything related to the game.

For quick inquiries players are welcome to use either the Game Info or the appropriate channel in the Discord server, but for actual large complaints such as issues with players or something about the game that bothers you, I prefer if you use this entry as it would make things easier to keep up with than an ongoing conversation. If necessary I'll contact privately for more details.

CONTACT FORMUse the following form to submit your issue and I'll get back to you within 48 hours. If you do not receive any notification after that time period, you may PM this journal or ping me directly. All comments are screened including our replies. By default answers will be in reply to the comment, but I can move the conversation to somewhere else if preferred. Anon is no longer enabled so you will have to use a registered sock account if you wish to hide your identity.

Player: Who are you?
Character(s): What characters do you have in game? (if applicable)
Type of Concern: What is this about?
Details: Tell us everything.

Contact: By default we will respond through here, but please provide other preferred means of contact in case we need to take it further!
Questions/Other: Any questions or anything else you may want to add.

{ canon update }

9:03 PM

CANON UPDATEThe waiting time to update to new materials is two weeks and there are two ways for a character to canon update.

Via Dream. Similar to a memory regain, characters can have a dream detailing the new things their original self is experiencing. Everything will feel as if they had also experienced it and if there were any physical changes, they will also occur. This is probably the simplest way as it's just one long dream and they'll wake up the next morning feeling a bit strange. After all, they just got a load of information dumped into them.
Returning home. Thanks to dreamotion energy, a character can be sent back home either involuntarily or voluntarily. If involuntary, then nothing really needs to be done, they just randomly disappear. If voluntary, then the character can use 3 regain baubles at the Wishing Well as a return ticket to their original self with a guaranteed return back to Songerein. So it's possible for them to use the bauble to make a "quick trip" back to their world and then be pulled back in. Regardless of the method, the characters won't really remember much of Songerein while they're gone but they will remember everything upon returning to Songerein. The character can be "gone" for up to three days. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Time lapse. Time is shenanigans and time will pass much more slowly in Songerein than it does in their world. Even if more than a year passes in their world, the character will only be "gone" for up to three days.
- Memories. With this option the characters won't really remember much of Songerein while they're gone but will remember everything upon returning to Songerein. They can feel as if they saw glimpses of vague things from Songerein, even recurring themes, but nothing that would make them think more than, "Well that was a weird dream." Of course when they return to Songerein, they will realize those glimpses were related to the world.

In both cases it is possible for characters to obtain new clothes or items they may have acquired during the update. These can be included in the canon update, however it's limited to what they have on their person. Anything else would have be to regained normally

Now just fill out the form and comment to this entry. It's highly advised you include the new canon updated information somewhere in your journal for reference.

Your canon update should be processed within 48 hours, but if you don't hear back within that timeframe please send a PM to the mod journal or ping us on Discord!

{ hiatus & drop }

9:41 PM

HIATUSNeed to take a break? No problem. Here are just a few things to keep in mind:

Hiatuses should only last up to a month max, but we can extend if necessary.
You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to link in your stuff unless there are other circumstances. In that case, we might consider allowing whatever you have or even half AC, but you must talk to us first.
You are not prohibited from tagging in the game if on hiatus! In fact, if you manage to make AC and post your proofs, it will clear out your current hiatus and you'll be free to use it for the next month. This could be beneficial for those who are uncertain about an extended timeframe and want to put a "preemptive" hiatus but find they are able to tag out regardless and make AC. That said, don't claim a hiatus multiple times in a row even if you do pass AC.

Finally, don't forget the different states your character can be in while on hiatus.

Autopilot. The usual "my character is doing something offscreen" option.
Sleep coma. A kind of hibernation state, the character is just asleep with nothing able to wake them. However, this means they are vulnerable so friends and family may want to be sure they are kept safe or they may wake up with injuries or worse—dead.
Returning home. This can be done involuntarily (ie, no warning) or voluntarily through the use of the 3 regain baubles, and the return is temporary. The character will remained tethered to Songerein. If this is voluntary, the character (and others) will know they will be back. This route could double as a canon update, but if not you can take advantage of the "time is weird" and just say they were in their world for a couple of days even though weeks or a month may have passed in Songerein.

{ regain wishing well }

10:00 PM

REGAIN WISHING WELLAt the end of every large event, characters are rewarded a bauble within the first week. It is found next to their pillow with a note that reads, "Thank you for your help! Throw this into the Wishing Well to receive a special item from home. Just imagine the item and it will appear. (watch out for the glitter) Can also be used at the Observatory or gifted to others!" As briefly described, this bauble is basically the game's "regain token." With this item, characters can throw it into the Wishing Well and receive the item they think about. All regains are manifestations of the item rather than the original and are affected by the game's limitations so nerfs may need to be applied. Here are the following ways the bauble can be used:

Personal item. It can be either from their original world or from the previous game world if they are CRAU. Animals and other living things are allowed, just in this case they would be the "dream self" version and follow our pet/sidekick rules. Any item that had specific abilities from the CRAU world will be removed, but it's likely that a version of it that fits within the game's mechanics (ie, dreamotion) could be recreated by the character or the item depending what it is.
General item. Alternatively, a generic, non-personal item can be pulled from their original world (or previous game for CRAU). The item must be something that is easily obtainable or purchased, and cannot be a version owned by someone else. "Unique" animals that are known companions of some kind can be allowed, but others animals are excluded as they can be brought in more easily through the beastiary submission.
Dream Observatory. Introduced in May, the baubles can be used at the observatory to get a glimpse of home. By using one bauble, people can look through the telescope to catch a glimpse of their world at a certain period of time related to them. It's vague and blurry so it's not the same as a real canon update, but it can give characters a little peace of mind to know they can at least see their home for a minute or so. Alas, it's too quick to let others see it.
Gift a Bauble. Have some extra baubles to spare? By filling out a simple card at the Wishing Well, a character can gift their bauble for someone else to use. All they have to do is write "I, [NAME], gift my bauble to [NAME]" on the card and toss it into the well and with a poof of glitter, the bauble will align itself to its new owner and be used however they see fit. They can even gift it to someone else using the same process if they decide not to use it. When gifting the bauble, the gifter must comment and the receiver must reply so that we have an official record that the gifter no longer has that bauble. Note: in the event the receiving character drops before using the bauble, the bauble will be returned to the gifter.

The bauble does not need to be used immediately and can be used at any time. More baubles will be rewarded in the future and other uses for them will be introduced in the future for those who have nothing to regain, so feel free to stockpile. Players are expected to keep track of their character's baubles.

To use the bauble, just fill out the form and post directly to this entry to submit your character's regain. We'll try and comment within 24 hours for quick approval, but we hold the right to ask questions or even reject a regain submission if we find that it would not work in the game. Players are welcome to ask any questions they have about their item in their submission comment or in the Questions thread. If more than 72 hours have passed and you haven't received a comment, please contact us via PM or through the discord.

{ player plot/event submission }

10:05 PM

PLAYER PLOT/EVENT SUBMISSIONFor anyone who wishes to host or submit a gamewide player run plot or event, please fill out the form below and comment to this entry. This is only for logs that is intended for the game at large, not private plots closed to specific CR. We only need to worry about the larger ones so that we can ensure it doesn't conflict with any of our own game events.

If you plan on a large event log, we will be happy to post it via our own

dreamposts journal so that your inbox is free from the comments. You would have to provide the prompts and any images to be used.

You can also use this form to suggest to us a certain event or plot to run!

You do not need to have every minute detail already planned out, and you can use this form as an initial inquiry as to whether your idea is allowed.

We'll try to get back to you within 72 hours, and if we take longer you are free to poke us! Anything approved will need to be posted to

( TAKEN ROSTER )

{ reserves }

10:22 PM

CLOSED

Reserves will open at midnight, US Central Time. We have a 70 player cap with a 15 new player app cap. Current players do not count towards the cap. We will close reserves once we hit cap or reach the deadline, but will have a wait list for those who comment after the cap has been met before we are able to close. After AC, should more slots open up we will notify those on the wait list in order they commented that they can immediately submit their apps in the app cycle. Any remaining will have to wait until the app period is over to see if there are any open slots or may rescind their reserve.

There is a limit of 2 characters per player. If reserving multiple characters, keep it to one comment as it will make it easier to see player interest count.

Note: a reservation will guarantee a slot in the application process, it does not guarantee an acceptance and we do allow application challenges. Reserves will still hold priority if there's a close contest.

Proxies for reserves allowed, however a proxy can only act on the behalf of one other player. No one can serve as a proxy for multiple players at once. The one being proxied for must also comment to the proxy to confirm. If a player has an asterisk (*) by their name, that means we need confirmation.

Both a reservation and participating in the Test Drive are required for Application. You can make a reserve first before commenting to TDM and come back and edit with the link.

Comment with the following form:

The following canons are at max capacity and cannot be apped into:

The following canons could hit max capacity if all reserves apply and accepted:
