CLOSED 01/03.

Welcome to The Starlite Motel, located in beautiful and sunny Las Vegas, Nevada — only ten minutes away from The Strip! Whether you're here long-term or just for the night, we hope to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

A FINAL NOTE FROM THE ADMINS—

We have been optimistic about the future here but personal circumstances (in addition to a lack of interest) have come in the way of our ability to carry on as admins here at VACANCYRP. A game like this, with players like you, deserves the attention than we are unable to provide at this time. 

As such, we have made the very difficult decision to close the game. 

We want to stress that this decision-making process has not been easy. VACANCY has been our baby — something we have collectively poured hundreds of hours into, We read through your feedback from the poll, discussed ways to approach reopening, and evaluated our own abilities to commit to an overhaul (in addition to our own characters). This certainly isn’t the fate we wanted for the game, but ultimately, we know it’s time to say goodbye to the Starlite Motel and Shooting Star Grille.

As we check out for good, we just want to say thank you to everyone for trusting this little game to develop and grow your muse, practice writing, and (hopefully) find new friends and writing partners. 

We’re sorry to be the bearers of bad news, but we hope that you’ve enjoyed your stay, however long or short. 

Love, Admin Cassiopeia & Admin Orion

P.S. We will be keeping the OOC blog open for any players who wish to post contact information, calls for 1x1s, etc.

A NOTE FROM THE ADMINS—

First things first, we want to thank everyone for recording your preference and feedback on the game poll. Your input has been incredibly helpful in helping us shape our plans for the future of VACANCYRP. After lengthy discussion this evening, the admin team has put together a plan for what’s to come for our little game.

This is a long read, but it outlines the what’s what re: the status of the game.

WHAT’S NEXT

We will be placing the game on hiatus until the New Year. This will give everyone a chance to enjoy the rest of the winter break, and provide us with time to recalibrate the game. 

We will be reopening the game on Thursday, January 4th, 2018. 

A game-wide event will kick things off when we reopen.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

All character interactions will be on hold. (You may still plot off the dash!)

Current members will be permitted to hold onto their roles/face claims. 

During this transition, you will be allowed to: 

Change your character’s face claim;

Drop connections; and/or

Make any edits to your character’s story, including retconning anything that’s happened since you first joined, changing their backstory, etc.

Players with one character may swap out their muse for someone new, and players with multiple characters can drop secondary character(s) if they’d like. 

The ask will reopen for new applications from current and new members on January 4th.

WHAT IS CHANGING?

Upon reopening, we will require everyone to repost their character intros. 

If you have changed any aspects of your character, please make the appropriate edits to the original intro.

If nothing has changed, you are welcome to simply repost it. (Please don’t reblog!)

We will go over this again when we reopen.

The rules will be updated and fine-tuned prior to opening to reflect necessary changes (with the feedback that has been shared with us).

We will be introducing new locations, as well as new job roles at the motel and diner.

WHAT IS STAYING THE SAME?

The setting and plot will not be changing.

Character limits and activity rules will not change, and it will be business as usual in enforcing them when the game returns.

The Strike System will remain in place, but will be more carefully enforced.

Additional information is forthcoming with the reopening in the New Year.

Thank you again for being a lovely bunch of players. We hope that this reopening in the New Year will be a bigger benefit to the game as a whole, as well as your roleplaying experience. 

If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

[vacancyrp]

A NOTE FROM THE ADMINS—

Yes, it’s us again. We have decided to put a freeze on applications until we have heard from current members regarding the future of the game. We will post a notice if/when we will reopen for applications. Thank you for your understanding!

A NOTE FROM THE ADMINS—

We hope you had an amazing holiday (if you celebrated)! It was nice to recharge and take a little break from the dash, but today we return from hiatus. If you haven’t sent in an extended hiatus, then we expect to see you back on the dash. We will be conducting an activity check tonight.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the main if you have any questions or concerns!

[vacancyrp]

Is that [ RAMI MALEK ] checking into the Starlite Motel? No, it’s just [ KAREEM ASSAF ] — a [ THIRTY-FOUR ] year old [ WRITER ] from [ SEATTLE, WA ]. [ HE ] identifies as [ MALE ] and [ HOMOSEXUAL ]. They seem +PASSIONATE and -STUBBORN. ( sadie, 20, GMT-3, she/her )

Welcome to The Starlite Motel and Shooting Star Grille, KAREEM ASSAF! You’ll be staying in ROOM 215. Be sure to take a look at our checklist for instructions on what to do next. Send in your account in the next 12 HOURS and post a character intro in the next 24 HOURS or we’ll have to cancel your reservation. We look forward to seeing you around!

[vacancyrp]

would you recommend applying after the game hiatus? when everyone is a bit more active or is it still fairly active?

That is completely up to you. Right now, the dash has not been active because we are on a hiatus for the holidays and all our players are busy with family and friends. But you can apply now and do the intro and try to get into character. But if you’d prefer to wait until we come back from hiatus, we will be here waiting!

ATTN: MEMBERS—

PLEASE LIKE THIS POST WHEN YOU HAVE READ IT.

Due to the volume of hiatus requests, as well as both admins’ schedules, we have decided to institute a game hiatus from today, Saturday, December 23rd, to Tuesday, December 26th. During this period, there will be no activity checks, and members are free to take a couple of days to rest, recharge and come back ready to write.

Members who have submitted hiatuses for periods extending beyond this timeline will be exempt. Members not on hiatus will be subject to an activity check on the 26th and required to reach out to us or post on the dash within 24 hours. After this point, roles will be reopened.

Anyone who would like to be active during the brief game hiatus is welcome to be — we are not forbidding posting! Rather, the break is intended to provide a few days of relief during this busy time, so our activity rules will not apply until Tuesday.

If you need any details clarified, please contact us on the main. Thank you, and again, happy holidays!

[vacancyrp]

A NOTE FROM THE ADMINS—

The season is upon us! Admin Orion and myself want to wish all of our members a happy, healthy and safe holiday. If you need a day or two beyond our three-day inactivity limit, or would like to take a semi/full hiatus to keep your space here, please notify the main. Any absences over 4-5 days (including the 3-day limit) require a hiatus form to be submitted.

If you have any questions or concerns about your activity, contact us! We’re happy to help you out, but please keep us in the loop.

Up for the idea of a char escaping murder charges here or is that a bit dry with all the other crims?

Hi, love! We have a few questions we’d need answered before we can say with certainty. To avoid spoiling your potential character’s backstory/building process, could you reach out to us off-anon? We’d love to chat with you about this!
