Mod Announcement: Exposure Effects and the Data App
The event ends with a surprising lack of something: there is no paralysis in the morning, no mysterious injection. Instead, the effects characters suffered from fade but do not vanish. All effects are now at level one. And, well--they don't go away. At least, not easily. The Exposure Effects have begun. It's dangerous to stay for too long in a place like Norfinbury. Every other month, characters will be expected to choose either a new effect or to level up an old effect. These can be combined as much as you'd like--in theory, someone could be level three in all six, if they were in Norfinbury long enough. But all hope is not lost! As explained on the exposure effects page, bonus activity can be used to lower and eliminate these effects. Of course, they're constantly threatening to come back...
...Of course, some of you aren't having quite this many issues. For some of you, the progression is much slower. Anyone with their beacon on will only have to add an additional effect or level every four months. Whatever the beacon is for, at least in this one instance it's doing something useful.
Please come to us with any issues you're having with this game mechanic. Once we see how the game is actually handling it, we may adjust the numbers/how often the effects grow worse if people are having difficulties.
Additionally, on night 051, due to the efforts of Jim, Quark, and Hiro, the Data app appears on everyone's tablets. This app collects found SD card information. While it has all information found before it was unlocked, any new information will only be added with the permission of whoever found the SD card. Additionally, the SD cards of anyone who drops from the game will be automatically added to the Data app. Note this only gathers information and files in SD cards. It doesn't collect programs or non-digital findings. If we forgot any old SD card data, let us know and we'll add it!

EDIT: I just wanted to let you know I accidentally left out an important part of the game mechanic involving beacons, so if you check again you'll see how those alter the situation.
