Announcements~!
Okay, four announcements from the mod. Some are important, some are not so important.

The first order of business:
Because i'm so busy sometimes (I do keep an eye on everything as best I can), I'm going to have Vicky, Mary and Cat keep a vague eye out on rule-keeping. I'm the only mod, but sometimes they might let me know if i've missed a rule being broken so I can make note of it. <3 I just thought i'd let people know.

Second order of business:
Remember, the "minimum" level of posting is only twice a week~! So don't fret if you're not EXTREMELY active. It's perfectly acceptable to not be active daily!

Third order of business:
Because it's being brought into the game, I want to use it fairly and in an organized manner.
If an entry is listed private on its own, then it is unhackable (but you could also say unhackable if you want).

There can be two levels of hackable. Hackable and Nearly Unhackable.
Hackable - ANY characters who it would be in character to have the talent to hack or would be interested in hacking a journal WILL have the ability to hack it if they desire.
Nearly Unhackable - ONLY characters who are particularly skilled at hacking can get in.

Why? Because making it so that ONLY one character can "hack" it is not logical if there's other characters who would have that talent. If it's hackable, it's hackable. HOWEVER, this is only valid for entries AFTER today.

Fourth order of business:
I'll probably go into this more later...but...

I want to make it clear that this is going to be a game that allows PG AND darker content, but I do not want the game to become a festival of disturbing content. This game is meant to be one that allows characters to be PG or darker, BUT if it's filled with lots of constant dark content, that no longer allows the people who want to play more PG, be...well...PG. Soooo.

You can have stuff like torture and all still, but i'm going to start commenting if people make things REALLY sick. Torture and all? That's fine if it's your thing, BUUUUT it has to be IC and I am, personally, not okay with getting into especially twisted FUBAR content. I'll probably be making a better, more organized post about this soon to clear up any questions, but feel free to ask stuff. Dark content is fine, but if the mod considers stuff EXTREMELY FUBAR (f-ed up beyond all recognition) then I will ask the content to be removed or altered. The game is meant to be a place for all types of content, but excessive amounts of that will ultimately ruin the game for the majority of players.

Again, if you have questions? Ask.

	Hey! I'd just like to say thanks for the whole FUBAR thing. Also would like to say thanks for the 'extremely active' thing too. Seems like everything is being pushed along at a rather fast pace. ^__^ Thanks! (Reply to this)

	Thank you so much about the FUBAR! For Chaos to become a Cirque du Macabre, I feel, would be a shame, y'know? Clearing up the hackable stuff was also good. It's an interesting concept to be sure, but kinda needed to be addressed for slightly anxious players like me. =) (Reply to this)

	Thank you very much for this! I'm of the same mind - dark content is okay once in a while, but I'd hate to see the game filled with mostly dark content. And for clearing everything else up as well! :D (Reply to this)

	That is nice that you cleared thing up with the FUBAR thing. (Reply to this)

	Thanks, that all makes sense. I appreciate it. (Reply to this)

	blind_oracle 2008-05-24 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	Rawr, I feel like the big bad wolf~ I agree with what everyone's said - thank you for this! The FUBAR stuff, even for me and Sal, is overwhelmingly not cool. And I could never be active daily. There's just no way! (Reply to this)

	Wakarimashita. Understood. ^^ (Reply to this)

	Understood, your modlyness, and thanks. I'm someone who has to read EVERYTHING IN ALL THE THREADS even if I know I'm not gonna like it, haha. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I was like that at first, but now I decided if none of my characters need to know about it (with allowances for Frank's vague ability to know when things are wrong) I'm allowed to skip it. I don't do it much, and usually more for time than anything else as I'm not easily shocked, but... eh, it helps to know I don't have to read things. But I totally understand wanting to read it all, too.

I hope that doesn't sound like I'm not enjoying the game or the stuff in it though... it's fun as heck and I'm having a great time.

Totally OT: Now I really want to play Final Fantasy IV and find out more about Kain. I was going to wait for the DS version to come out but it's so tempting.

I tend to skip some stuff too, but I'll usually go back and read it later when I have time. It's just one of those things with me.

Oh no, not at all! I'm sure it'd be pretty daunting for people who have busy schedules to try and read every single post in the game, so I don't blame you.

Haha! That's good to hear. Sad to say, he doesn't have very many lines in the main game (since he spends most of it being evil and out of the way), so I've been taking a few liberties with his character. But he's very entertaining when he's running around in your group and/or taunting your party.

Anyway, yeah, it's a great game. I wouldn't know whether it'd be better to wait for the DS version or not. I've heard that they were able to work in more of the script that they had to cut out in the original game because of space constraints.

He's got to have more lines than Frank does in Silent Hill 4! I think he has maybe six or seven, if yelling "Henry!" counts as a line XD.

I'm going to look up again when the DS version comes out here in the U.S. My friend who is a fan is playing the Japanese version (and played the original release long ago) and is really thrilled with it. And I have other friends who love the game too.

Poor Frank. <3

I know you've been getting this from everyone, but Frank is an awesome character.

July 22nd, I believe. I have it marked on my calender, because I have to be sure I've got enough money laying around to get it when it's released. xD

Yeah, everyone seems to love it. The only criticism I've heard towards it is from people who aren't happy with the art style.

	Aw... blush I was so unsure about Frank and I'm so happy people like him. Thank you so much. July 22nd? If I do have the money by then, I'll go ahead. Otherwise I do have the GBA version to at least get the plot and characters and have fun with it. I mean, I played FFVI Advanced and it was a great game! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	(Oh and I really like Kain! His "OK me and Lina are off kicking Niflheim's butt right now" thing was so awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	holylance 2008-05-25 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I have the GBA version. The Lunar Dungeon at the end is pretty fun! Aw, thanks~! Haha, yeah, Kain doesn't like to sit around and wait for things to happen. >_> (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't mind if people are fast or slow, I just want people to know they CAN take their time. XDD In case people fret, like some have told me they do about not being fast enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)
