Side quests
New Side Quests have been added for the month of September! Go ahead and sign up! If you haven't turned in quests for August gacha points, you can still do so until the end of the month! However, signing up for any August quests is now closed.

Town Events
Fall is here and with it comes cooler weather at long last! Cooler, windy weather. But with September comes the new school year! Students of all ages will be beginning school the first week of the month, so be sure to start this new school year right! There will also be a spelling bee taking place, for anyone who wants MORE school.

For those of you less school inclined, there will also be a chance to do some daring air related activities such as hang-gliding and bungee jumping. Stardew Valley will also be moving into it's fall season, for anyone who'd like to go out to the country to enjoy the season.

Gate Event: Great Library of Alexandria
September's gate event will revolve around the Greek Muses and the Great Library of Alexandria! Characters will be able to explore the recreated library that was once destroyed and enjoy it's wealth of knowledge, literature and art (and it's not just books!). While there'll be loads of entertainment in the library, characters will be able to access life records of any person who has died and is related to them (meaning Luke Skywalker could get a file about Anakin, but he couldn't get one about Obi Wan Kenobi). For AU characters, this includes records of their previous selves.

Meanwhile characters with a creative streak of some kind will find themselves suddenly inspired like they never have been before, but as they indulge in this inspiration they will find themselves losing their memories. In order to retrieve their memories, they will need to find the Muses within the library in order to regain their lost memories. Characters can have their memories returned exactly how they were, or players of AU characters can use this opportunity to change their AU history if they so desire! If you plan to make any changes to your AU history, please comment below under the AU CHANGES comment!

Finally, characters can strike a deal with the Muses to give them a free regain in exchange for permanently losing a memory. This regain can be worth anywhere from 1 to 4 points, though the bigger the regain, the more important a memory that'll be lost. For instance, a 1 point regain would be along the lines of forgetting your favorite ice cream flavor, while a 4 point regain would cost something along the lines of memories of your best friend. While players get to decide which memory they will lose, characters will NOT be ICly aware of what memory they are giving up when they make the deal.

ETA: Since there's been some confusing about what kind of memories are worth what amount of points for a regain, here's a quick breakdown.

1 point regain: A minor or mostly inconsequential memory. Things like you can't remember a password or particular one-off incident that didn't strongly affect them as a person.

2 point regain: A notable but not fundamental memory. Memories like "the day I met my best friend" or "a day I started my job" so long as it wasn't a life-changing event. These are memories that are considered kinda important, but forgetting them wouldn't fundamentally change who they are as a person or how they view their lives.

3 point regain: A fundamental one-off memory. These are memories that can be about a singular event, but it's an event that greatly affects the character and would possibly change them as a person should they forget it. Basically those moments that are seen as turning points in the character life, such as a day a parent died or a promise you made that shaped your whole life.

4 point regain: Multiple core memories surrounding an important person or important thing. Characters would completely forget the existence of either an important person in their lives (like a best friend or family member), or a thing that has equal amount of importance to them. This means any memories directly connected to it will be scrubbed.

It must be emphasized again that whatever choice you go with, the memory loss is permanent. While other characters can tell them stuff about what they lost, they themselves will never be able to recall the memories. In addition, the memory loss regain points cannot be used for gacha, because losing memories of your best friend is not worth a furby.

If you're interested in getting a free regain at the cost of some memories, go ahead and comment to the appropriate comment below! All regains must be mod approved!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Player Name: Medchan
Character: Luffy
Regain: Constant, unnatural luck
Point Value: 4
Memory Lost: The entirety of the Orange Town Arc. This includes his first meeting of Nami, his crew member, and Buggy the Clown, someone who becomes fairly important later on. He's met them since then but he won't realize that he's completely forgotten his first memories of them. He'll have no idea how or why Nami started traveling with him and his crew. (Likely, not knowing won't bother him too much.)

It's about 2 or 3 days worth of very important memories. Does that work?

Edited 2022-08-28 04:32 (UTC)

Since he will still be remembering the existence of Nami and Buggy, just not how they met, it's not quite there for a 4 point memory loss. 4 point memory loss would be more along the lines of him forgetting Nami entirely.

However I think if you want to just keep it to him losing memories of these couple days, we could reduce the luck boost down to the 2-point level one. This means he will still have higher luck, he'd just get a +2 on quest rolls instead of a +4.

How does that sound?

2 points works! I'll be able to add to his luck with a regular regain later right?

Yes you can!

Alright, Luffy has been approved for 2 point level luck! This regain can take effect anytime after the event log goes up (September 4th!)
