Hello to all current and former TRG roleplayers! The previous Composer has stepped down and allowed the community to decide what to do next, and the community's decision was to vote on the applicants who are interested in taking over the position. 

If you've been in TRG before, or currently are, please take a moment to view over the applicants and their views and vote! Even if you aren't interested any more, we'd love your feedback anyway!

A summary of each applicant’s views and goals is available [here]; detailed answers are viewable [here]

Vote [here] once you're ready! Voting will be open until 11:59 PST on the 23rd of February unless extended. The result form is only viewable by the current Composer; no applicants, officers nor players can see it. 

Long time no see!

We’re excited to announce that Week 16 dates will tentatively be August 12th - 18th (D0: Sunday the 11th). The dates are tentative because we may be redoing how the week is structured and possibly spreading the game out over more realtime days. If you’d like to participate in the discussion, please join our Discord.

Officer applications will open on Saturday, June 15th. Conductor apps close Thursday, June 20th, and other officer apps (including GM and TR) close Tuesday, June 25th.

Player and Reaper apps open Monday, July 29th. Reaper apps close that Saturday, August 3rd. Player apps close on Wednesday, August 7th, so that applicants who we can’t fit into the limited Reaper roster can still apply for Player.

Hello everyone! This is Del, your Composer, wanting to bring you a little update on the goings-on of our game! (In other words no, the dead kids are not yet dead-dead.)

Firstly, I'd like to deeply apologise for the radio silence from all of us in Officerland. I know that it sucks being in the dark for such an extended period of time, so I wanted to make sure you all had at least a bit of an inkling of an idea as to what was happening with the Game, even if it does happen to be an extremely late inkling. OTL

As for what has been going on, due to a variety of circumstances, the week 15 Officer team has disbanded! Not in a bad way, but in a "we are just going to have a few people working on post-week things and revving up again once pre-week starts and new Officers are chosen" sort of way. In other words, me (Del), our Conductor (Nico) and our Producer / previous Game Master (Xan) are the ones who will be predominantly working on things for the next while, reaching out to previous Officers if we require their expertise or assistance. Usually, Officers stick around right up until the choosing of the next week's crew, so this is a little bit different from usual.

That said, this has made our "near future" schedule a bit more nebulous than we'd like, and as such we still don't really have any ideas for dates for the next Game yet. We are so sorry! The literal moment dates and other details become more clear to us, we will be sure to update you all via the blog and an announcement in OOC chat.

For now, here's a bit of a glimpse as to what we are working on:

– an even more massive survey of awesomeness – character sheets and shops becoming shiny – bots and automation!? ROBO FUTURE...

... Amongst other things, alongside addressing concerns raised in the post-week survey!

If you have any questions, please poke either myself or Nico via skype / any other social media upon which you may have us, and if we aren't prompt to answer, please don't be afraid to poke again!

Thank you so much for your patience during this transition!

Your new Composer! 

[ Confetti falls from some nearby abyss. ] Hey there everyone! My name is Del, and I am your new Composer!  Hopefully most of you know me, but for those of you who don’t, that is my name, and it will be a pleasure to be playing with you all!  For all the people that have been sticking it through with TRG this whole long haul, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your enthusiasm, your patience, your contributions, your creativity and your drive to keep this horse up and going! Players, Reapers and Officers -- we couldn’t do any of this without each and every one of you, and I am deeply grateful for you all. That being said: Jay, thank you for entrusting me with this position and allowing me this opportunity, and Cin, thank you for rising this Game from the ashes. I hope to not disappoint! 

Look forward to some changes coming your way in the near future and in upcoming Weeks, while I try and wrap my head around all of this craziness and work together with you all on bringing TRG to an awesomer place of even more awesomeness.
