thanks for the suggestions anon, let me tell you what I have planned:

- totally planning on cancelling a wednesday
- cecil, carlos and the secret police are already planned on for npcs, as well as frequent mentions of Old Woman Josie and perhaps the angels. no ideas yet on John Peters - you know, the farmer? - but for the most part Cecil is the biggest focus, as he'll be making the posts that change the day over and announcing what things to look out for that IC day (weather, traffic, that odd glowing light over city hall, people huddling over a hole in the parking lot behind the Ralphs etc).
- canon updates haven't been thought about yet! but that would be really super cool and maybe it could be more of a "you pick the adventure" in which the player can choose the incredibly odd happenstance that would change their character over (I can't stop thinking about maybe using the dog park or the Shape That No One Speaks About Or Acknowledges. they could complain about it IC and find no one notices them until they stop talking about it, perhaps)

other things:
- days are 2:1 ratio, but feel in-game as if they're 1:1; characters can mention that it feels as if the days are longer
- playing with the idea of the first day being daylight and the second day being nighttime, ala Exitvoid. thoughts? this could bring along more IC involvement as far as Weird Nighttime Happenstances go
- planning on playing with a majority of the things talked about that aren't necessarily big events in the podcasts; ghost traffic comes to mind, the lights above the arby's, perhaps a momentary minor "is anything really real" event, the fact that rabbits aren't to be trusted, etc
- was considering having Cecil open his radio air to anyone who happens to have information- shop openings, characters who need help finding an apartment, gossip, etc, since he's kind of a gossip monger -and putting those in the day changes as well.
- characters are encouraged and in fact preferred to start making themselves an (obviously odd) life in Night Vale, including opening shops in the city (and on the waterfront), actively involving themselves in town meetings, being mentioned on the radio, etc. player based events are also going to be open for business, where the players can suggest odd things and the mods can try to fit it to the setting. the goal is to keep the small town feel of Night Vale, where everyone knows everyone
- other NPCs could possibly be applied for (barring those under mod control) if anyone really, really wants to play someone (like John Peters, maybe? you know, the farmer?) and they could write their own events as well as be involved in the big mod events etc etc; still wondering after this one tho bc who wants to play people like John Peters or the traitorous Tully

these are the ideas already considered

I have nothing concrete to say, except that 1 day being daylight and the 2nd being nighttime actually sounds like an awesome way to go for this game, i just have to say that this sounds absolutely fantastic, modnon, and I love the thought you're putting into making it feel like the show.

better question: who doesn't want to be john peters? you know, the farmer?

on the 2:1 day ratio, i personally don't like having ooc days vs. ic days not match, but in this case it might work.

I don't either tbh but the idea was that it'd be like a day of sunlight and a day of night, and the townspeople are all confused when characters are like BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME DAY IT'S JUST A DAY OF NIGHT
