HOW TO REGISTER YOUR PESTERCHUM HANDLE: The Actual Guide
Since I haven’t found anything ANYWHERE that actually tells you how to do this, and Pesterchum is weirdly finicky about how things work because it is a modified system of IRC, here is how you can register your Pesterchum handle and actually keep other people off of it. Let’s go!
Anyone interested in applying, please read up on the FAQ & rules, important plotlogs, check out some of our characters’ blogs, and submit an application! Now would be a great time to apply, an event has just come to a close and we’re settling into a new pace that’s the perfect time for characters to get acclimated!
((We haven't done one of these in awhile, but basically for this you have until the 5th of November to pester someone you've never had your character interact with before. We just got a couple new folks this week, and we've had a few other new character fills fairly recent-ish, and no one should have interacted with everyone yet.
If someone you haven't talked to before talks to you first, it doesn't count. It's gotta be you branching out.
IF YOU DO THIS, I, Dojo, will make you a pixel of your character in the outfit of your choosing. (preferably an outfit they don't wear in canon. I'm already doing pixels of every character in canon outfits so it wouldn't be very personal if I just gave you one of those. If you don't know of an outfit you would want, I'll just make one up for you and hope you like it.)

)(ello fronds! I )(ave an important new announcement for t)(e future of our information s)(aring, w)(ic)( is especially vital now t)(at a few of us )(ave our s)(are of resprawnsibility and can't always spare c)(atting. Plus in some cases we could really use t)(e )(elp!
So I've created a virtual bulletin board just for us t)(at we will be using to s)(are information so not only is everyone in t)(e know wit)( bot)( casual and important )(appenings, but we can get people to assist in areas we need. Meena)( and I will be keeping it up to date. 38)

But what this means for our group is an even more important announcement -- we're going to be changing the way events will be handled from now on so that everyone, as members, can direct the plot! How this will work is that anyone can come up with ideas and submit them as prompts and control them to whatever level they wish, just like we mods have done in the past. Then members interested can discuss when they're doing the "event" and group up to get it done! These prompts can be either incredibly important/entirely group encompassing or something as simple as a party.
We've given a list of starter prompts and will probably continue adding them along the way, but we ENCOURAGE all of you to come up with ideas to build up on the world we have here and make new and interesting things for us to play with as a group!
You can feel free to ask us any questions you may have about how the prompt system will work or any current prompts. We will make sure everyone is alerted in group chat when the bulletin board is updated, so there's no need to worry about missing out. You can always find a link to the bulletin board on the main page.
Just a reminder that tomorrow is the due date for the gifts! But as I mentioned briefly in the group chat, it's alright if it's not done by then. Think of it as more of a starting date to post the gifts.
However, if it's taking you more than a week to do so, I might have to bring down the hammer on you.
As a side note: you don't necessarily have to post the gifts on your rp accounts... They can be on your main. (But I would like to see them reblogged over here, just in case I miss one hehe :'> I'm just excited to see what everyone has done!)
Hey everyone!! I'm really sorry that it's taken me so long to get around to this, but sadly my internet died... literally as soon as I started to work on sending out everyone's stuff. And then stayed dead for two days. BUT I DIGRESS.
You will be receiving your person you are drawing, writing, whatever for in a moment.
I don't want anyone to feel majorly pressured to get this done. I want this to be a thing you enjoy doing because the person you are doing this for is a friend! So while the original date to get things done will be Oct. 13th, I am more than willing to give wiggle room. If for whatever reason you can't finish your gift by then, PLEASE just let me know so I am aware.
Don't be afraid to talk to me about ANYTHING regarding this gift exchange. Like, if you think you can't do it period? Don't let your person hanging. Let me know, and I can either get a gift made myself, or I can find someone else who can get it done. It's not a big deal!
Anyway...
Look out for that! Let me know if you don't get one
Hey everyone!! Guess what! It's been almost a year since this craziness all got started. On October 7th! That's a pretty incredible feat for a roleplay group, so I think that's something worth celebrating!
So we've hatched the plan to do a SECRET GIFT EXCHANGE among our members (and honorary members!)
It will work just like a secret santa. We'll send out a form for you to fill out, then send that form to your secret gifter! The form is about to go out to your main character account, as soon as I finish writing this. Try to get your form filled out by Sept. 25th (this Wednesday.)
More info will be coming your way after that date!
Holy crap, that's a lot of Zahhaks. Two whole Zahhaks.
Read up on the FAQ & rules, important plotlogs, check out some of our characters’ blogs, and submit an application! Now would be a great time to apply, we've got some amazing plot stuff coming up really soon!
This is regarding the Palace, and the transition to moving there! If you WANT to write your character moving there, you can do so, but if you want to have your characters already there, that's fine, too. For example, Eridan, Latula, and Kankri are already there.
Please notify either me (Liz) or Dojo about your choice!
Hey everybody, just announcing that Feferi, Roxy, Mituna, and Calliope are going to be on a menial hiatus until further notice. It'll probably be spotty depending on what's going on. We're going to be elongating the event a bit, so take your time, everyone!
)(i everybody! As -Eridan may )(ave told you, I wanted us all to pack up and )(ead to t)(e land palace on Alternus ASAP. (Don't worry if you don't know t)(e way! We can all go in a group or you can ask me, -Eridan, or Sollux for kelp if you N-E-ED it!) T)(is is for quite a few reasons... One of w)(ic)( being for our own protection w)(ile we get all our affairs in order, and to get us all working toget)(er and frondly again! Anot)(er is because I'm putting in motion t)(e plans to root out t)(e ot)(er nasties, and I could use some )(elp. But a big reason at t)(is very moment is becraws I'm planning a BALL t)(at I want you all to be a part of! 38D I bet none of you )(ave ever been to a ROYAL BALL, )(ave you? It'll be fun!
So I've set up a list of some group exercises you all can do to )(elp out and get your )(eads a little straig)(tened out, too. T)(ey won't be very )(ard jobs, so not to worry! I'm s)(ore t)(is will be FUN for everyone!
