Hello, and happy second anniversary! We've had a good run, but unfortunately this is the end of the road. We did say there would be a couple more weeks left, but with the dwindling playerbase and mental exhaustion on the part of the mod team, we've deemed it best that we leave off here. Of course, the game is not closing entirely! As noted before, it'll stay around as a musebox, with team caps removed. The only mod involvement will be to accept new accounts to the comm, and other than that anyone can do whatever they want. For now, our closing post is here!

We just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for sticking with us, even through our bad times and pancake days. You've all been great, and we've valued our time running this game for you! We hope the current ending is satisfactory, even if there's some loose ends left. Speaking of, if you'd like to have anything clarified about the plot, questions will be answered below!

As for the future, as most of you probably know, Youji is working on Imeeji! This is a team game, the same as AFD, though it is a public game with a smidge more restraint than we have here. If you're looking forward to something closer to AFD in tone but more plot heavy and exploration based, Mora is planning on opening a new friends-only game in about a month that is planned to have a limited run of around a year, called Death of a Planet! If you liked 'Ohi'a and the non-Harvest and Decay guides, they'll be showing up again there. Please look forward to it!

With all of that said, we'd like to thank you one last time. We couldn't have made it without you!

Thanks for playing,

Mora
Youji

Your (former) mod team.

Hello, everyone!

This is just a heads-up that the next event will be running from the 29th to the 31st of this month! The first 29th-30th will be a short exploradora, with the 31st being a boss fight. All of these will start at 3 PM PST. This event will officially move us into endgame.

As a note, there will be approximately three more events including this one to close out the game, making our end-date mid-June. In addition, we're going to be requiring that there be a turnout of at least 6 players to participate in each event. If we don't reach this turnout, then we will end the plot at that time.

Thank you so much for playing all this time!

Hello, everyone! This is just a note about the next plot event: It will be a game, The Long-Awaited Tower Of Doors! Are you ready to solve stupid logic puzzles?

Round 1 of the game will be on May 1st, and Round 2 will be May 2nd. Both rounds will start at 5 PM PST. That's all for now!

we were thinking really hard abt an april fools post but then april fools passed us by and we still didn't have anything :(

here are announcements and placements instead

• Heart games have been extended due to Easter weekend; tentatively it should be ending on April 4th.

• Please remember to join the Discord!! It's on the Activity Check sheet if you haven't seen it yet.

• The game schedule is free for people to claim as they'd like! There will probably be an event later on but we haven't decided when that is happening yet.

• As discussed a while back, the game's plot will be heading to a close; the scheduled month is June. After that, we'll see about whether A Forest Dark can continue as a musebox or what's happening there, though it's leaning more and more to that the game will be closed for permanent so that other games can thrive. Cut away the old growth for new, you know?

• Mora will be forced to eat Spam for the rest of her life.

And here are placements!

Hi nerds,

I'll keep this short and sweet. WELCOME❤TO❤HEART❤GAME❤SIGN-UPS!!! The dates run from March 23rd-April 2nd. Your confirmed runners will be below, but please keep checking back, in case others roll in or if there are date or other changes. Shit happens. Runners, you are also free to keep your signees abreast of any changes yourselves if you choose! Please be advised for those signing-up, games will have a Scored time limit of up to SIX HOURS.* i.e. what you get done in that timeframe is what you will be scored on for points and win conditions, but if your runners wish to continue running the heart after that, it is left to their discretion, as are any character changes they wish to implement as a result.

*- The timeframe can be cumulative, and in the case of those playing, further accommodations are left to the runner's discretion.

Runners! It is not necessary, but a suggestion would be to do a write-up of your character changes w/ like all the symbology and all that jazz. We all eat that meta shit up.

The theme of this game is: Corruption (hooray~!).

This is different from regular heart games which focuses on changes made and finding the true heart. In corruption hearts, there is some outside force that has invaded the gamerunner's heart, and if it isn't removed from the heart before the gamerunner is done, it will leave permanent corruption effects on the person. These are usually negative! So it's probably best to focus on trying to remove the corruption wherever possible.

How to decide what the corruption looks like is up to the runner. It could just be a slick oil spill that is tainting memories or perhaps evil bunnies that eat all of the things. Whatever the case, there should be a way to remove them, but it might not be obvious to everyone what the actual corruption is. Sometimes mistakes happen...,,...

The lasting effects is also up to the player. It could be permanent or temporary that lessens over time, but it's up to what is most fun for the runner.

PLEASE NOTE: Only one heart per character can be scored, so please tell your runners in advance (like here, and probably remind them before you play) which ones you wish to be counted, but you can play in as many hearts as you like, and they should be in fiftyshades.

HI HERE'S THE EVENT BREAKDOWN:

There will be 2 parts for the event! Part 1 will run on Sunday the 11th and Monday the 12th and Part 2 will run on Tuesday the 13th and Wednesday the 14th. You don't need to be There for the entire part of the event, but you can be!

Part 1 will be an Exploradora ran by Youji; times will be as follows:
Sunday will be the majority of Part 1's running, and will start at 1PM PST. We'll continue on for as long as people need but the major cutoff you're likely to be seeing is probably like 7PM PST.
Monday will be largely for cleaning up threads, since I'll be working on this day you'll be seeing faster responses from 1 PM PST to 3:30PM PST, and then I'll be hanging out at work and phone tagging. A mingle will be posted here as well, for those who cannot participate in any of the days.

Part 2 will be a Quest ran by Mora; times will be as follows:
Tuesday and Wednesday will both be starting at 5PM PST, going until 10PM PST.

There are no signups - you can just swing on by when it comes up, and being late is OK! See you then!

The question has been brought up a few times, so we're polling about it: Should the AFD game chan be on Discord or Slack? While the general climate seems to be moving to Discord in general, I've definitely heard arguments for both sides - so we're just going to ask the whole playerbase, so we can get a clear idea of what you guys want!

(If you don't feel like elaborating on your reason for liking whichever program, just choose the "in general" one. If you choose specific reason and don't elaborate in the comments I will find you and ask you nicely your opinion because we value it greatly)

Since it's not a super intensive poll we'll give you until Saturday, February 17th at 11:59PM PST to vote, after which we'll close the poll and review comments & see how we can move on from there!

If you vote multiple times with different accounts I will find you.

If you vote and are Mora I will find you.

A quick morning announcement--due to suddenly being requested for training next Friday and my need for a heart game going up from Needed to Dire, I'm going to be Post-poning the zombie train game that was scheduled for next weekend. With February coming to a close soon and March looking like a rough month for me personally, I may have to reschedule as late as April BUT IMMA SEE WHAT I CAN DO. Thanks for your patience.

Hopping on this recent train of game announcements, I'd like you to please note that between February 21st and 24th, Dakki will be hosting Super Fun Immersive Zombies on a Train Experience Game!! Wow!! Aren't you so lucky??

Right now I don't want to give out too many details because I still have.. uhhh... none of the writing OFFICIALLY ironed out, but the plan anyway goes something like this:

-Two teams will be paired together for each "train." On that note, please decide among yourselves which teams your team has the poorest relationships with and post a comment here.
-All game participants will be MAGICALLY BRAINWASHED to believe that their experience is 100% authentic, and, you know, forget that they are actually all already dead and trapped in purgatory.
-The game will have four rounds during which teams will be presented with decisions to stop / speed up the train as well as situations ongoing in the train itself that must be handled; depending on the players' choices there may be fights and/or explorations of surrounding areas as well as evolving dilemmas.

Doesn't that sound like fun?? Please be looking forward to it~ ♥

Warning: Dakki cannot and will not be held liable for any injuries of mental trauma incurred by participating shades in this extravaganza. Participants may experience side effects such as the hunger for flesh, especially brains; rotting; loss of speech; and loss of higher levels of intelligence.

Hello everyone! I'm gonna run a SECRETS GAME from February 11 to February 12, Game start is at 11 am PST and end at 5pm PST of February 12.

The game won't contain traumatic elements (no maiming or physical injuries or penalties of any kind) but teams will have the choice to keep or reveal a secret from any one person in forest and make it public, so there's that element at play.

The game will have a total of 6 rounds, 3 per day.

First round will end at 1pm, second round will end at 3pm, and third will end at 5pm for both days. In between the two days teams will be able to mingle!

Secrets will be sorted in 3 categories:
- Embarrassing shit (Ex: Bakugou Katsuki has dick piercings)
- Medium bad shit that is bad but won't ruin your reputation forever probably (Ex: Bakugou Katsuki got someone to whip his dick and enjoyed it)
- REAL BAD STUFF (Ex: Bakugou Katsuki suicide-baited Deku)

If you're planning on playing, or even if you'd like your characters' secrets to be up for grab, please reply by filling this form:

Edit: You can put in as many secrets as you'd like, for each category! So you don't need to do one for each, or even fill all of the categories. If all you got is embarrassing shit, feel free to list all that comes to mind! It does however have to be things they do remember.
