Station Info
The station is an active train station, and at any time there are 10 departing trains running to different locations across different universes and one supply train providing items for current passengers. These locations are generally left to the players to decide on as they play, but we ask that players be mindful of opt-outs as explained below.
This system is meant to provide two primary things to players: An easy way to hiatus/drop characters as needed, and an interaction point that, ideally, makes the game feel a little less like a jamjar, given that characters are able to leave and return should they wish.
TRAIN DEPARTURES
This system is meant to provide two primary things to players: An easy way to hiatus/drop characters as needed, and an interaction point that, ideally, makes the game feel a little less like a jamjar, given that characters are able to leave and return should they wish.
There are 10 departing trains running from the station at any given time, headed for various final destinations across the universe. Their destinations change on a weekly basis.
SUPPLY TRAINS
There is 1 supply train that stops by the station each day and cannot be boarded by passengers. They can, however, be investigated/raided for their supplies. They will typically be filled with one type of item; for example, one day the train can be all pokeballs, and the next it could be lamps of different shapes and sizes.
TRAIN HOPPING
What if a character hops onto a train not to their final destination, you may ask?
That character will be able to visit that destination! This can range from a few hours, to days, to weeks, to months. They will appear in the world, however, with only whatever they are carrying on them at the time and their ticket case. A train will inevitably come to pick them up and return them to the station, however the character currently has no control over when they are able to return. They will be pulled back at random from their point of view, the scenery changing between one blink and the next from wherever they were to sitting on a train arriving back at the station.
To note, time spent outside of the station will flow at the same pace as within the station, so if your character is gone for only a few days ICly, their experience within another world should correspond to this.
OOCly, we ask that world visiting/hopping be used responsibly by all players. They're meant to be a fun way to give characters an experience outside of the station. If you are having your character visit the world of another active character in the game, please do not use it as an opportunity to power/meta game other characters.

We understand that the idea of other characters visiting and affecting your character's home world is not for everyone. Therefore, we do allow for players to opt specific characters out of Train Departures, Supply Trains, or both. This opt-out can be found on the character application form, so be sure to fill that out when you do your character app!
If at any point you wish to change your mind about your opt-out choices, you can update the spreadsheet to reflect this.

INFORMATION
If at any point you wish to change your mind about your opt-out choices, you can update the spreadsheet to reflect this.
At the information booth in the station, passengers can now find a stack of pamphlets advertising the Station to Somewhere Stamp Rally. The pamphlets explain that passengers are now being encouraged to ride trains and visit different worlds to participate in the stamp rally; within a 10km radius of your landing point, a very simple table with a stamp has been set up. Passengers need only stamp their ticket case (it's a virtual stamp don't worry about it) with the stamp to collect it.
Stamps can then be turned in at the information booth in exchange for prizes. Each train's stamp can only be collected once, however if that stamp is turned in for prizes, it can be collected again.
