β–Ά GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Hello Outsiders! Per our schedule, applications have closed on March 10 - 12:00 AM GMT. As of this round of applications, we have reached the player camp of 60/60. Any applications that have not been processed in this period will automatically be in queue for the next application round.

As a general reminder of our schedule— we have now moved into our regular bi-monthly schedule for applications. We have just completed the TDM SIMULATION, and the next event will be the TEAM BUILDING activity.

β–Ά POWERS.
It has been brought to our attention that there are some players who may have not have listed out their full skills in their original application. We know not many games allow characters to keep their powers and some players ended up over-nerfing or omitting certain powers because they didn't know they could have them in game. Having your powers is part of the fun, so we just wanted to make sure everyone had the opportunity to use the skills and abilities their characters have within their canon. So we just wanted to present the option below for anyone who may have missed a skillset or two:

βœ— Players are welcome to canon update their characters with the full breadth of their updated skills. Please remember to explain each skill, and propose nerfs accordingly. Note that all updates may still be subject to revisions or denied depending on the request. If your character already has access to these powers at their current canon point, they do not need to update their canon point and can simply just request the powers.

βœ— As a reminder, our FAQ lists the abilities and/or skills that are nerfed or discarded upon arrival— in particular, immortality, time/reality bending, and necromancy to name a few. Per our last announcement, we assume that you, the player, understand which powers are nerfed or discarded upon acceptance whether you included it in your application or not. Players who do not comply with the rules will be warned.

βœ— In addition, we have added another power to the list of nerfed and discarded powers: Psychometry. After much consideration and discussion, we've decided that the ability to read memories from objects has the potential to be too game breaking.

β–Ά FEEDBACK POST.
Thank you all for participating in what was our first feedback post. We really appreciate any input we get and love to see the passion everyone has for the game. To touch on a few of the points we saw:

βœ— SETTING: We love how much everyone has engaged with the setting, and we are definitely planning to better showcase the damage done to Neo Tokyo and the changes the city (and world) go through as we progress in the plot. You are also free to make references to previous events when you make plans.

Additionally, most of our events have been focused in NeoTokyo so far with simulations sometimes occurring in other places. In the future, we would like to expand the real world events to other locations so stay tuned.

βœ— KAIJU BATTLES: We are glad people enjoyed the kaiju fight. We are still fine-tuning our RNG mechanic and hope to improve as we move forward.

βœ— PLAYER PLOTS AND SUGGESTIONS: We encourage players to come up with and share their plots and suggestions. We have received some great suggestions for future kaiju, prompts, locations, and rewards for future events and are excited to work with everyone to make Synflux a fun experience for everyone

β–Ά BEASTIARY.
We have added a beastiary page to keep track of the kaiju we have defeated so far. Right now, it's just Shachimon but we'll be adding more as the game progresses. We'll be adding information about the kaiju as well as special recognitions. We hope this will help serve as a record and a rough timeline of major events.
β–Ά CALENDAR.
Scheduling things has been a bit of a whirlwind in also the beginning of a new game, but we will update the CALENDAR to reveal some changes. Here is what we are thinking:
1st MONTH: TDM / Simulation (1st.)
Reserves Open (1st.)
