Closing  
As of tonight, Mayfield is now closed.

From all the mod team, we want to thank you for sticking with the game this far. The past four years have been a blast for us, and we hope you've enjoyed the ride. No RP- no matter how wonderfully modded and excellently managed and painstakingly organized (BF wrote this, in case you were wondering) -would be worth anything whatsoever if it didn't possess a playerbase that was engaged, creative, and passionate about the game. You guys have been all of those things, and more.

You are, of course, free to continue museboxing both in the "new" Mayfield setting and the old one! The former, notably, includes an option to bring back old/dropped characters if their ex-players are interested in re-introducing them to the new setting. Soon, hopefully tomorrow, we will be introducing a new community for playing in the new setting. It will be unmoderated, but you will be able to play out endings for your characters both current and former if you want.

While we get the musebox up, here are some guidelines:

Dropped characters will only have memories of Mayfield up to their time of dropping. They can be brought back, revived through the droning machine.

Characters who died during permadeath can also come back, but will not have any memories of their time in Mayfield when they do. They will be, essentially, brand new constructs using the same copy information they were originally created with.

If two different people rped the same character, that's okay! Sometimes, the machine glitches and creates duplicates. You can play your version of the character, with memories only of your time playing them, and someone else can play their version as a duplicate.

Characters have some power to control the new town. This means they can alter the buildings, decorate, bring in items from their world. They don't have too much power, so they can only do a limited amount of this every day. It is also easier to create raw materials and build from them than to create finished items. Character will have to put some work into building this setting, but can bring some home with them little by little. Regains not brought with you from Mayfield will work the same way; they can be brought little by little. Any powerful weapons will be nerfed to reasonable levels courtesy of Annie; you can define what this is.

We hope to see you guys around elsewhere in RPland, and we hope that in all of your new RPs and endeavors, you keep one simple thought in mind.

Do not ever, under any circumstances, drink the milk.

And with that: goodbye. Thanks for everything, you guys.

Announcing: A Better Place to Live  
As promised, we're bringing you a musebox for all your post-Mayfield threading! The musebox is still under construction, but we are opening it anyway.

[community profile] betterplace


This is an unmoderated community. Please simply join the community and then post entries to it as though it was [community profile] mayfield_rpg or post your own general logs as though it were [community profile] mayfield_logs. Please make sure to tag your entries with "c: character name" and do it in a consistent way; it will make it much easier for everyone. If there are two versions of the same character, tag yourself differently, you guys can work out how.

Please make sure to read the Setting Information and the Premise / Rules!

This community will continue to function as an OOC community for the musebox, and [community profile] junefield can continue to be a meme comm. We will be removing moderation on membership for both communities.

You guys are on your own now, please have fun! And thanks again for giving us a chance to run this game.

So in our new Musebox town...  
Well, I'm just going to post this now cause I had an idea of rping this out with everybody. We really should have our characters give their new town a name. I mean, after their horrors in Mayfield I don't think anyone wants to keep that name for their new town.

There's been some suggestions floating about on plurk to name it after Annie and I think that'd be a great idea. But, like I said we want to rp this out. So anyone have suggestions on what our characters can decide to call their new town?
