Is there any public documentation of the Zeif Akir?

I'm very surprised that the vru-rihali aren't open. Although honestly I didn't understand their niche in the Vrun but that's a whole different topic, they just felt like human sun-runners to me.

Thanks. I thought two desert elf tribes and a human tribe would be open. Is this list final?

I find think especially useful when it might not be clear to a staff observer why my character is doing something. Often those uses of think are very basic, like "I'd better get to the shop before it closes" or "I need to finish making these cups like I told Amos I would."  Or if my character has thoughts about something they're seeing, but the thoughts aren't something they would necessarily vocalize. "What in the world is he wearing?" "Who does she think she is?" "This soup is too bland." Also think is very useful if my character is lying, but it wouldn't otherwise be obvious to someone who just started watching the scene.

I don't use feel as much, but I like the versatility of the feel command. I use it to highlight physical things like achy knees, or things more tied to emotion like feeling bored, or inspired, or eager to impress.

For some characters I use bio quite a bit, and for others not at all. My advice on bios is to make it part of your routine, like maybe try to post at least one bio entry every RL week. There was a time when we had to be logged into the game to write a bio, which could sometimes be a challenge. Now, being able to write bios from outside the game (or even for past characters) gives a lot of flexibility to use bio in whatever way works best for you.

You're looking for this post I believe: https://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,60342.0.html
There's a list of different clans that will be open at the start of seasons partway through the post.

I am not sure if I've missed it somewhere. Do we know which clans will be open in Season 1?

I always thought that the gameworld won't change. Will it?

Back on the topic, I have a couple fully fleshed concepts in mind. I just want to check the new documentation of the clans, to make sure which one I am going to apply for.

I was considering a few character concepts and eventually settled on one. I'll look at the list of sponsored roles, but I doubt that I'll apply for one, because I don't think I play enough hours per week.

I've done my karma review. Now I just need to actually write up my sdesc/ldesc/background.

My only preparation has been requesting PTO on the 17th.  I haven't pre-planned any characters for season one, beyond writing a few very brief 1-2 sentence concepts based off of random ideas that popped into my head while reading the season update newsletters. I'm looking forward to seeing which sponsored roles are available this Saturday, but mostly I'm just excited to play something I haven't tried before in a brand-new environment.

There was technically an option to view your available race/class choices in the login menu, but since the game's currently down there's no way to actually access that menu. I think the only way to learn how much karma you have while the game is down is to put in a request to view your account notes, or to put in for a karma review.
