GM : ANNOUNCEMENT!!
AUDIO RECORDING [3:14].
I strongly advise that everyone listen to the recording as it will explain things I do not have written down in words. I apologize for the inconvenience ahead of time, but there were certain things I had trouble putting into written word. If you cannot access the recording, please let me know.
I. I will be artificially closing Episode One: Of New Beginnings. We will begin Episode Two: Death of Innocence in a short while. If there are any objections, I apologize, but, at this time, I will not be entertaining the opposition. However, you are still free to express your disapproval and I will listen, but it will not change my decision. In the future, to prevent such disparaging finish-times between the missions, I will take any and all measures necessary to keep both teams within close alignment. Additionally, to everyone, please be mindful of the other players within the game. It's good to be excited, but it is also good to keep pace. And, to that end, I apologize for my lack of experience in handling the issue. I was equally carried away and didn't time things as well as I could have (or should have). This should be improved by the next episode.
II. Character Episodes are an important facet to this game. There is little time for characters to reach their full potential within the actual episodes. In order for most characters to grow and reach the pinnacle of excellency, it is almost critical that characters look to having "spotlight" episodes. In every season, everyone will be allotted a total of two character episodes per season (the number may change when necessary). However, when proposing an episode pitch be sure to message the following to me:

III. Episode Two: Death of Innocence, will be available in a few short days (possibly tomorrow)!
IV. I have created a new journal (omg, do I even know how to stop?). This new journal can be considered a "fan" content, but everything within that thread is canon. This is important because ANY development in that thread will be taken into consideration for the primary storyline. This is just a fun(?) way to learn more about our characters and how they interact with each other. All the scenes within this thread occur before or after an episode (in the downtime between each episode).
