Hi, this is Head Mod Bianca! Here I’ll link most of my documents (if not all) regarding debuts/comebacks that I had planned for Rookies. Debuts set to happen too long into the future weren’t set in stone, but might be fun to think about!

RKDEBUT CONCEPT IDEAS

This here is an old document I used to try and gather everything in one big thing, but ended up never keeping it updated and each group has its own thing now. You can see some things were changed from back then again, such as HEARTZ previously being named MOONDAY. Still shows a lot and I thought it’s be cool to share!

The DAY6-inspired Sphere group was supposed to mix CONVEX and male trainees in a special group/unit. The trainees would then join other trainees to form their own group after.

TRC boys took a lot of time to take off due to a lot of male trainees dropping and others not having enough debut points. They were supposed to start a training group in November to eventually debut with a Monsta X concept in early 2021 with 6 members (Chanyeol, Jongsuk, Seungjoon, Minho, Seunghun, and Jinyoung).

TRC’s 2nd gen would be one of the one to break boy/girl order and debut a boy group after based on Stray Kids, and only later a girl group as ITZY/EVERGLOW. The other company who’d do the same was NOVA, debuting a girl group as WJSN/OH MY GIRL. Would probably involve lying about birthdays like WJSN does irl. To avoid conflict with public trainees, the concept would maybe be changed to the elements of the zodiacs (3 of each) instead of the exact signs themselves.

Super Timeline

These are files where I tried planning the order of releases for each group. As can be seen, some dates ended up being changed, but the order kept itself. It depended if I felt there were too many empty spots in months in certain groups or if it just felt like releases were coming too far away from each other. NSG sadly has no file. I had planned the first debut/comeback orders simply but after what happened I had to scrap everything and didn’t have the time to replan it. HEARTZ monthly project songs were also able to change, as can be seen by September’s song.

The Super Timeline served to check when activities were overlap which could do for good interaction opportunities, but also had to make sure people wouldn’t lose on every comeback due to conflicts that could be avoided. You can also see there are ‘Samsung’ groups listed which was an idea to have Produce 101-style competitions using both trainees and rookies. After the backlash of MGAS5 I didn’t feel confident enough to do anything, though, so the idea ended up being left to the side. There would only be two seasons of the competition with a group based on Wanna One and the other on IZ*ONE.

NSG was going to have their next unit announcement today. I even DM’ed some people on twitter about it. Instead of a rotation unit based on NCT Dream, there’d be a fixed unit based on TXT. NCT Dream songs would be used as U songs.

These are just to give an idea of how much had to be put monthly but also on a daily basis to upkeep Rookies. You can probably figure out where the burnout came from!

MGA S5 MASTERPLAN

MGA S5 POINTS

I started working on MGA S5 as soon as MGA4 ended because it had went so well and I was very excited for next season. Sadly, a lot of people complained about MGAS5 and said it wasn’t well planned and that the results were rigged. I just wanted to share two of the files I used to show results weren’t chosen randomly. MGA took into accoun various categories of both points and % and chaged what it used based on the episode and also if the muse decided to showcase a different skill.

Thank you for checking everything if you did, or just looked around one or two! I’ve put a lot of effort into Rookies even before I was announced as a mod. I wrote my first event the day before the official announcement (if anyone remembers, it was rkspring) and have since taken care of every event until Gab joined us and gave me such a great helping hand. I hope you got to enjoy at least a few of the events I managed to come up with! It was fun while it lasted! 

I hope you can continue or finish developing your muses with the help of some of these informations. If you have any specific questions feel free to message me on twitter (luvseungjoon).

Hi Rookies! Now there isn’t any easy way to say this but we’ll be closing down Rookies, indefinitely. We hope this doesn’t come as much of a shocker, after all, it’s been a long time since Rookies opened its doors.

And you may be asking why now? The short answer is that we just feel like it’s time to say goodbye. The long answer is that many of our mods are just moving on, as our OOC lives have gotten increasingly busier, we’ve realized keeping up with Rookies and it’s upkeep as admins is just not realistic with our schedules. Not only does it take a lot of time, it’s become much like a second job trying to get everything together when it comes to planning, updating and posting things as well as helping you guys with rp problems that it leaves us little room for our own muses, which explains the lack of activity on some of our ends, and ourselves. Another reason is that many of us have been here at Rookies since the start, and like many of you, we have felt the fatigue and stress of keeping up with our muses, to the point that while there are glimmers of muse, it’s just not the same anymore, we found that rather than writing for the enjoyment of it, we were writing to stay active and clinging to the love of a muse rather than for the writing. And that shouldn’t be what roleplay is about. We knew if we didn’t give you this push, many of you wouldn’t take it yourself. So, we leave you with these sentiments!

While we will be closing Rookies down indefinitely, everyone is welcome to use our resources to continue writing for their muses and make threads, plans, headcanons as they see fit without needing permission from us. These are your muses, and like you should, you’re free to end their stories whenever and however you please. However, on our end, starting from today, we will no longer be posting any updates on any of our blogs. We hope you can understand. In the coming days, you may see posts from our mods with their thoughts as well, so feel free to join in or not! If anything, you can still continue to roleplay, without restraint. Do what you want, you’re free!

Anyways, it’s been a long (almost) seven years Rookies, and it was a pleasure having you guys here! Thank you for showing interest and investing so much time and effort in your muses, making it possible for us to have a great time and share good memories together for so long! May you be well wherever we see you next!

* please note: hiatuses are updated on this post and on the masterlist as soon as they are received during the week (with the exception of ac wednesdays, in which they are updated usually by 8:30pm EST on these lists.) it is a mun’s responsibility to verify their hiatus message has been received by the main before the next queue starts and, if your muse’s name is not listed here (or on the masterlist) by queue start time, you will be asked to reapply with your character before the next activity check!

HIATUS ENDS TODAY- these characters are now considered active and will need to be active by wednesday (october 21st) in order to remain in the directory.

I wanna be remembered. I know I probably said those exact things years ago when i auditioned for the first time but it didn’t change, not one bit. I once had a taste of what being an idol means and I want that back. I wanna be able to smile and dance freely and have people believing in me. i wanna be an example for the young people, for them to know you do not need to give up even when everyone discredits you. you can do it, your will is your most powerful weapon. Use it and follow your dreams. That’s what I’m doing.”

Every week, there will be an activity check to sweep out inactive rookies and reward those who have stayed active, with skill points! If the rookie hasn’t showed up in at least one week, they are cleared from the masterlist with no warning, while the names not on the sweep list can add three skill points using their TALLY SHEET. You can distribute +3 skill points in whatever categories you want! Please make sure that you add a link to this post on your tally sheet for proof! You do not need to verify these points.

TRAINEES may now turn in their POINTS VERIFICATION SHEETS for the week of 10/07-10/14; instructions for doing so as well as the appropriate form and the link to the verification blog can be found on each company’s workshop page. Once your form is posted to the verification blog, you may update your points tracker with a link to the verification blog post. Points must be turned in before 10/21 or they will not count! If there are any complications that prevent you from turning in your points on time, please talk to Head Mod Kyle or Mod Keith before submitting them late.

Please include today’s date (October 14th, 2020) at the top of your verification form! Even if you turn in your points later this week, put October 14th as the date. This is mandatory!
