HIATUS & DROPS
Place the word ‘Hiatus’ in the subject line
➡ A hiatus lasting two (2) weeks or more will excuse you from that month’s AC check.
➡Hiatuses may last a maximum of one (1) month. Extenuating circumstances may allow for exceptions and will be made on a case-by-case basis after discussions with the the mod team.
➡Hiatuses cannot be used consecutively with an AC pass or vice versa. They also cannot be taken consecutively.
➡Characters on hiatus can be set to autopilot, enter a deep sleep that they cannot be awakened from, or disappear
Please place the word ‘Drop’ in the subject line.
➡ Black and white static consuming them with a soft scratching of white noise
➡ Freeze in place and fade out of existence
➡ Bodies will blink or flicker in and out of reality where they sit/stand/lie
➡ Sudden disappearance
Characters that are not witnessed as leaving simply disappear one day or night, and their personal items are all that remain behind. These items may be distributed or gifted between player characters; items not distributed will end up in the Green Corridor to be bartered or exchanged.
Characters that are reapplied into the game will begin with no memories of their previous adventures in Edictum. They may regain their lost memories using rewards (if it is the same player reapplying). Reapplied characters that are told of their previous adventures by other player characters will experience déjà vu and frequent headaches for the first month of their newest stay.
Canon timelines can change and be fluid, so nothing requires a solid streamline view of what it is to be existing in Edictum. One thing is a constant: characters will always remember the time that they spent in the game setting regardless if they jump forward in a canon update or slide backwards in a timeline regression.
➡ Characters may be updated or regressed in their timelines. Updates to new content (eg. new chapter or season) will require a one (1) month delay to limit spoilers.
➡ Characters will be absent from the game for a minimum of seven (7) days, though players may opt for longer.
➡ Characters will feel as if they simply fell asleep and then awakened with their new canon point.
➡ Characters who regress to a prior canon point will still retain their memories, decisions and actions of their time in game. Their new regressed canon point may change their age, maturity level, even decision making process, but they are fully aware of what they have done in game regardless even if such actions may not yet make sense to them any longer.
