[GAME START] Welcome to Libra!

[kaisoumods]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Network
WHEN: January 7th
WHAT: Welcome to Libra!
WARNINGS: None

[Wherever you are, your phone will start to ring and vibrate. It doesn’t matter if your phone was off or on mute - it will ring anyway. If you didn’t have a phone? You’ll have found one that has been delivered to your current location with a sticky note attached with your name on it.

The ringing will continue until you check your phone. The entire screen has been locked to a new app that downloaded: Libra. It looks like a social media app, even though you’ve never heard of it before. Worst yet, there seems to be no closing this app until you read and respond to the message displayed]

Welcome to Libra! Libra is an innovative app developed by the good folks at Zodiac™ to connect people with similarities that set them apart from the average crowd!

There’s a lot to talk about, but we don’t want to pile too much on you! Instead, let's start things off with a little icebreaker! It’s a little late, but we hope it's still relevant!


This post is sponsored by the 2021 Kaisou Winter Carnival! Get out and enjoy the cold!

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and userpics. If nothing is chosen, the app will use their real name and a quick photo taken of them from their camera's phone.

Mod Note: The game has officially begun! The first event log will take place on January 9th, but players are free to make their own logs and posts! There will be no NPC response in this network post, so feel free to interact with each other!]

FOOLISH
IF 1 HAD ANY INTENTION OF IMPROVEMENT THEYD START B4 THE NEW YEAR

[overlies]

What changes have you put in before the old year ended, then?

[killjoyprince]

NONE
NO NEED AT THIS TIME

[And then there's this asshole.]

[overlies]

That’s perfectly fine, too. You seem the type to fix things on the go instead of waiting for change.

[killjoyprince]

I DISLIKE BEING IDLE

[inutilis]

You know what? You sound like you have your life together. Say someone wants to go after this 'life improvement' thing, but doesn't know where to start. What would you recommend?

[killjoyprince]

IDENTIFY A FLAW
FIX IT

[inutilis]

Could you
Perhaps
Be more specific on the 'fix it' part, in particular

[killjoyprince]

VARIES DEPENDING ON THE ISSUE
I DO NOT KNO U TO SAY

Aren't most resolutions broken by March at best anyway?

But I agree, if someone's serious about something like that, I figure they'd just get started and not waste time with a New Year Resolution

[killjoyprince]

STATISTICS SAY YES
IT IS MERELY AN EXCUSE USED TO DELAY PUTTING AN EFFORT IN

[Can you tell she's the life of the party?]

[kokaiwanai]

[He's not much better, frankly.]

So it goes

But the question is getting people to talk, even if it's about stuff like this, so it's at least doing its job as an icebreaker I guess

[killjoyprince]

I SUPPOSE
EVEN IF THE PRESENCE OF THE APP IS MORE CONCERNING

[higanbana]

okay so you're right, but also

caps lock off, have you heard of it

[killjoyprince]

Y IS THAT AN ISSUE

[So many call outs.]

[higanbana]

because it is assumed over the internet that if you speak in caps you're either emphasizing your words or shouting

so basically you just read like you're screaming at me

[killjoyprince]

NONSENSE
ITS WRITTEN WORDS THERE IS NO VOLUME

UN: rschwarzer

[motiv8]

Haha... I guess that's pretty true, but I think it's pretty harmless overall. Even if something is foolish, if it brings a little light to someone's day and doesn't hurt anyone, I think it's probably a good thing.

[killjoyprince]

[Excuse you Rean, this is a no joy zone.]

STRANGE APPS INSTALLING THEMSELVES IS NOT A GOOD EVENT

[motiv8]

Well, you're not wrong there - I agree, this app is pretty suspect. I thought you were more talking about the resolutions.

[killjoyprince]

WHILE LIGHTHEARTED
THE QUESTION APPEARS 2 B A DISTRACTION
THOUGH CANNOT TELL Y

[Suspicious, do not like.]

[icyboy]

You can improve any time of year!

Are you stuck on caps?
That's happened to me before, you just need to hit the button to turn it off.

[killjoyprince]

I AM NOT STUCK

[A moment later.]

NOT SURE WHY SO MANY PUT STOCK INTO THESE 'RESOLUTIONS'

[icyboy]

[Going to assume this is an old person then... only old people caps all the time.]

It's a tradition.

Every hear of "new year, new me"?

[killjoyprince]

I HAVE
ITS SOMETHING THEY WILL INEVITABILITY FAIL

[So cheerful.]
