Good afternoon, survivors! Since you guys have had some time to poke out a plan we're putting up a sign-up sheet so we the mods and you the players can keep track of who is going where and with who! The teams you guys have plotted out for yourselves are as such:

Team Celebrity, the beautiful distractions and their hardlight-equipped "body guards" going into the spaceport from the front through the crowd of curious fans. Please make sure you're specifying whether you'd like to be an "actor" or a "bodyguard"!

Team Baggage, the rogue option. This team will be making a go at sneaking in through the baggage claim to get to the "assets" being moved.

Team Mission Control( aka "Team Baby Driver"), the champions staying in the vehicle and having none of these shenanigans. They should be ready at any point to make a fast and furious getaway.

Team Rainbow, the team peeling off to attempt to liberate Cece and the R2 dead from the clutches of InterGal7 on their own. A warning though: going with this team will result in off-screen capture and missing out on plot hooks. This option should only be taken if you know you won't be around/able to be terribly active for the rest of the weekend.

Unless you've already opted to die and go straight to deadland when it's back online all choices are still eligible for Round 5 if you choose to join us!

Hello, Airlocked! We hope you've had a nice little break, but we interrupt your friendly holiday hiatus for a quick announcement and a couple of events!

As you know, we like to shake things up a bit and keep you wriggling on the hook in between rounds with little Intermissions, and since this hiatus is so big we have the time to take you on a little trip with two of them.

First off, we're starting with a little date with destiny for Deadland, and in accordance with the poll that has been going around it looks like the best date for everyone for that event will be this coming weekend, December 7-10. You do not have to be available every day of this event, nor is any participation required in order to "pass." However, we are more comfortable with the shorter notice for this event, given how many characters there are in deadland and therefore the probability that we will have at least enough participation to reach the desired conclusion.

Secondly, we also would like to announce the dates for the Survivors' Intermission. Again in accordance with the poll, this intermission will run from 1/11 to 1/14. There will be special secret signups for this intermission, in the form of a secret poll to help us later. ;)

Because these intermissions are meant to further the metaplot of the game and lead into the final round, the overall ending of these events will be immutable, and we want you to expect them each to end on kind of a low point overall. Think of this as like the ending of The Two Towers, or The Empire Strikes Back. Your characters' individual actions will help to shape how we get to the ending, but there's no real "win" condition for these events.

Now, for a less fun and friendly reminder. We the mods of Airlocked have a zero tolerance policy on harassment of any kind, and while we do encourage our players to work out minor conflicts between themselves we are always available, in the case of situations that may require additional mediation. However, we are only three people, and we are working very hard to provide a satisfying story, so we may not notice all conflicts between players.

We cannot act or intervene unless we are able to observe the issue ourselves, so if you think that there is an issue that requires our mediation, it must be brought to our attention first. If you have any problems with a fellow player, we encourage you to contact us privately on Discord or on Plurk sooner rather than later, so that we can decide how to intervene accordingly. We are here to help mediate disputes between players, and to try to find a solution that keeps everyone having fun.

Hey, guys! The intermission event officially starts tomorrow and we hope you’re as hype as we are. You guys have been doing a pretty splendid job of ICly plotting out your plan but we’d still like you all to comment below with what team your character will be on and what your plans are individually and as a group. Feel free to use this post for more streamlined plotting as well!

Following tomorrow’s events the party will be split into these separate teams until the conclusion of the event. The NPCs currently chilling with you guys (Kip and Jamie) will be staying with the ship for the duration of the event. And a quick note if you're choosing to stay on the ship: we do have plans for you this weekend that will require some activity. So plan accordingly!

If you want to be involved in the Q&A investigation but won’t be available for the second half of the event (Friday/Saturday) let us know in your comment. Even if you can’t be 100% involved this time around we still have plans for the overarching plot you can be involved in.

Hello hello, dear survivors and dearly departed! We hope you've had a pleasant post-round rest and are ready and raring to go for round 2! As a quick reminder reserves for round 2 will be opening Saturday, May 6th but before that we have a special event all lined up for both sides of the divide.

This weekend (4/21-4/23) Deadland will be experiencing some changes to their environment. We’ll be contacting our dear departed players privately with the details shortly.

And don’t think we’ve forgotten about our tenacious crew of the Temerity! InterGal 7's solar streaming network has been alight with ads and news about Airlocked!’s upcoming third season. There’s no real usable information in them and all “casting” and location information is on strict lockdown to the public but in the past few days new advertisements about a “special event” have been popping up. The network is holding a special scavenger hunt for fans of their highest-rated series with a grand prize of a free six month subscription to their premium content, along with a juicy preview of the upcoming season. There’s also a strong emphasis on a special host for the event, which will be held in the Vegas Quadrant on what C.E.C.E. translates to be next weekend (4/28-4/30).

OOCly participation is entirely voluntary though if you choose not to/are unable to participate we do ask that you come up with where your character is and why they're not involved and let us know before the events. We three mods are super excited to run these events for you guys and we hope you all are too!

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below or ping us on plurk.
