Good afternoon! As of yesterday we are officially off hiatus.I hope that everyone had a good break and that 2017 will be kind to you. After 2016, I think we all deserve good things. With our hiatus coming to an end we'd like to take a moment to promote the game. There are currently five custom characters available as well as several open characters to choose from. So if anyone is looking for a new game to join we would love to have you!
This is just a quick update about our custom character application. We had originally included a link to it on our application page but it's been brought to our attention that our format was confusing. We’re so sorry for any inconveniences it may have caused. It’s been fixed and now both formats (canon and custom) can be found on the same page!
With just one week left before we come off hiatus we have decided to start allowing applications again! Applications will be accepted on the 4th of January (our return date). Those who wish to remain a member of the roleplay must message us (with a hiatus request and/or a promise to be active within a week of reopening) or become active on the dash by the fourth or your role(s) will be reopened. Once again, we thank you all for your patience over the last month and we hope that you have a good new year!
We would like to apologize for our inactivity. There’s a lot going on in our lives right now and it has made it difficult for us to be around. This game means the world to us and we don't have any plans to close down but we do need to take an official hiatus until our lives return to normal. With the end of the year coming up we know that our members will likely be busy as well and we think that now would be the best time to take an official hiatus for the holidays. Our goal is to resume full activity by the fourth of January but until then we won’t be accepting anymore applications. Our current members are free to roleplay when they have the time but we won’t be doing another activity check until December 28th (with January 4th being the deadline to resume activity). We hope that everyone has a great December and we will be back next year! <3
In hopes of making the dash more active, we have decided to bring in a new activity system! From the beginning we have been flexible about activity and we still plan to be pretty forgiving. We understand that real life is more important and that sometimes you just can't get on. At the same time, we do have to have an active dash in order to thrive as a roleplay. Activity checks will now be done every Wednesday! Those who have not posted for a week will receive a message from the admins. If the member doesn't respond with a hiatus request or make a post on the dash by the following Wednesday then their role will be reopened. These rules apply to every character. You must be active on all of your character accounts. In some cases, this could give you up to two weeks to show that you're still a member! Hopefully this will end up being a more organized way to keep track of activity and motivate everyone to keep up with the dash (admins included). If you're unsure what counts towards activity, we have provided a list under the cut!
Our first activity check will be Wednesday, November 23rd. Please be active on the dash or send us a hiatus request before then or those who have not posted in over a week will lose their character. Remember to post on all of your characters!
In addition to a new activity system, we're also bringing in a new way to handle tasks. Rather than post a new task every few weeks, we have compiled a list of things that our members can do. A link to the new task page can be found here! While completing tasks will count towards activity for one week, it won't count for two weeks in a row. The second week must include replies, self paras, or another form of activity.
Asks memes will now also be apart of our dash! Anyone can start an ask meme day, but we ask that you wait four days between each session! You may respond to old questions at any time. We just don't want the dash to be ask memes every day.
What doesn't count towards activity:
Pictures, songs, or other media posts.
Creating starters
Posting in the OOC
What does count towards activity:
Completing tasks (every other week)
Responding to ask memes
Writing self paras
Replying to starters, or posts (including text messages)
IC Chatzy sessions (completed sessions must be posted to count)
Group Chatzy events
Costume Contest submissions are now closed! You may still complete the task for activity, but your character’s costume won’t be entered into the contest. Voting will now begin! Eligible costumes can be found here. Please send a message to the main account with your choices.
There are five categories for the contest.
Scariest
Sexiest
Funniest
Most Original
Coolest
Players must send in one vote per category. You may vote on anonymous. The winners will be announced during the Chatzy. Click here to vote for a day to hold the event!
*Some costumes are paired together so if one wins, they both win.
The event is scheduled for October 23, 2016. We’re going to play it by ear as far as time goes, but we’ll link the chatzy in the OOC mid day so that people have time to settle into their plots. Further details will be announced on the day of the event!
We received an anonymous message that we do not feel comfortable responding to publicly. If you would like to discuss the matter off anon, or provide proof, we would really appreciate it! This is the first we've heard of any wrong doing and we plan to take this very seriously, however we really do feel that this is a private matter so we won't be responding to anymore questions about it until we have more information. I hope you understand!
To our members: This message doesn't involve our game, or our members. It deals with something outside of the group. Don't worry!
