INTRODUCTION
As you may have noticed, our regional name is a play off the term Nocturnal, and for good reason. The roleplaying community has seen its fair share of tumultuous events over the past two months, from conflicts over the site's mechanics to run-ins with those partaking in the raiding and defending gameplay style. These instances have shown both newer players and veterans alike that our roleplaying community is highly fragmented, both along experience lines and the different tech communities that define the forums. Though some might disagree, a general malaise or kind of creative darkness has settled over the region, with many players considering the roleplaying community as being on the decline. Yet we believe differently, that our community is both strong and willing to produce some really awesome stories! This region is a refuge for those who want to write with a group of respected peers.
Our primary focus is to create a roleplaying region in the modern tech and postmodern tech communities that will become recognized not only for its contributions to the game's roleplaying forums, but also for its camaraderie, its cooperation between members, and its diversity. Despite the primary focus of our main tech levels, we are inviting to all nations who roleplay, regardless of their primary focus. Sub-communities of players who dabble in fantasy tech, future tech, past tech or even steampunk are welcome here, and special focus will be given to those who wish to participate in the World Assembly, or forge special interests in our regional forums. Different activities and writing contests will mark the calendar for region members, and our forums and IRC home will provide the basis for organizing roleplays and simply hanging out in the company of good people. Anyone can have a home here.
