Since we didn't do so before, I'm officially ending the Halloween plot. There will be another plot soon, but in the meantime we are going to do a ROLL CALL. You'll have until THURSDAY DECEMBER 1 at 12:01 AM EST to respond, using the following format:
Please also place any drops in the appropriate location, to make things easier. And, as usual, please do not tell anyone else to respond to the roll call as this is meant to be an indicator of who is paying attention to the game. All comments will be screened.
As always, we want to thank everyone for supporting this game and making it wonderful.

Hey everyone!
We know that things have been incredibly slow lately. The holidays were a really busy time for everyone and the game suffered. But we're ready to get back in the swing of things and we hope you are too. With that in mind, we have a few announcements.
First off, Allie has decided to leave the game to focus on things outside of panfandom and we wish her the best. To help make the game run more smoothly, Michelle and I are bringing in Tara and Tina to help with the modding, so please feel free to go to them with questions or concerns as you would with us.
We are also doing a ROLL CALL to see who is still interested in the game. You will have until THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, at 12:01 AM EST to reply. Please use the following form to do so:

Hey, everyone!
We would like to give a warm welcome to Michelle, who has graciously agreed to join the mod team to help out Ashe and myself. Our game is small, but it's nice having a third person on board to help out with the housekeeping and day to day mod work, if Ashe or I is not around. Please free to go to her with any issues you might have, just as you would with me or Ashe.
Also, this is a friendly reminder to remind people to tag their posts. Every character should have a tag, and if you find that yours doesn't, please contact the mods so that we can fix it right away.

Hey, everyone!
As of midnight, the honesty plot is now over. People can still tag old posts and do backdated threads if they wish, but characters can go back to being lying liars that lie now. They'll get a little break, but we should have another plot in the next couple of weeks or so.
Hope everyone had fun, and thank you for continuing to make the game great!

Hi, guys!
The second week of the honesty plot is well underway. Characters are now going to feel the need to blurt out confessions about themselves that they wouldn't say otherwise. As the compulsion is getting pretty strong by now, feel free to assume that it's making them want to post in addition to verbal blurting, for those of us who have lying characters who would never go near the network while influenced.
Have fun!

Hi, guys!
So, as mentioned in our last mod post, it was mentioned that there would soon be a plot starting. Beginning tonight at midnight and lasting until November 7, no one is going to be able to lie for the next two weeks. It's going to start off pretty slow, with just needing to honest in response to direct questions, but by the second week, people will feel the need to blurt out confessions and say things that they would not otherwise say. As the compulsion gets stronger, feel free to assume that it's making them want to post in addition to verbal blurting, for those of us who have lying characters who would never go near the network while influenced.
Have fun! And if you have any questions, please feel to contact us.

Hi guys!
The roll call is done. Thanks to everyone who replied. A list of removed characters will be under the cut.
( Removed characters )
Anyone who was removed must wait two weeks to reapply. In a couple of days, we will have another plot to get the ball rolling again. And as always, thank you for continuing to make the game great.
Hey, everyone!
We think it's about time for a ROLL CALL. This is not an activity check, and we will not be removing any characters for activity reasons. You will have until SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, at 12:01 AM EST to reply. Anyone who does not respond will be removed and will have to wait two weeks to reapply. This is to ensure that everyone makes their best effort at acknowledging the roll call. Only official hiatuses will be acknowledged as reason for missing the roll call. Use the following form to reply:
The mods are aware that things have been very slow lately, and this roll call is to make sure who is paying attention to the game, and who will be remaining in the game going forward. As the point of this is to see who is paying attention to the game on their own, please do not tell any other players about the roll call. Once the roll call is done, we will be running a plot, and doing some advertising to try and get some new blood into the game. All comments will be screened. If you wish to drop characters please do so in the appropriate place.

Hi, guys!
We have our first plot!
So, as everyone already knows, the city has a magical barrier around it that keeps the citizens in and the dinosaurs out, in the jungle and the surrounding ocean where they belong. This morning, however, when your characters wake up, and they go outside, they'll notice something drastically different. Raptors are roaming the streets, pterodactyls are soaring through the sky, and maybe they'll see a tyrannosaurus rex making its way towards one of the local parks.
Yes, the barrier, which protects and keeps people safe, is down. At about one o'clock in the morning, the arrival of one Antoine Triplett upset Skye, and the overwhelming emotions caused her to temporarily lose control of her powers, breaking the barrier. So yes, characters would've felt an earthquake sometime late last night. Most of the buildings were spared, but there is some visible damage.
Luckily, Claire was able to call Emma in time for them to repair barrier. Unfortunately, in the time that it took them to do that, some dinosaurs got into the city. Not a lot - there are not eighty million tyrannosaurus rex in the city, there's two - but there's are just enough to cause havoc for people. Currently, there are a couple of packs of about four or five raptors, two tyrannosaurus, a flock of about eight pterodactyls, a mosasaurus in the bay, and some friendly non-eating dinosaurs, like a brachiosaurus and triceratops to balance out the meat eating ones.
Characters are encourage to advise caution when they go out, and protect themselves while a solution is worked on to get the dinosaurs out of the city. If players wish, they can injure their characters, or have them killed. Any characters that are killed off will return when the plot wraps up, but players are encourage not to kill off all of their characters, as then you'd be unable to do anything for the duration of the plot, and that's not fun for anyone.
This plot is going to last for two weeks, so on Wednesday, September 2nd, the dinosaurs will either leave, or have all been rounded up and taken care of at that point. Any new character that arrives within that time will be warned that the barrier is currently down, and to advise caution when leaving City Hall.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. Have fun with this!

Hey everyone!
The game is starting to get underway, and we couldn't be more thrilled to see people playing. We understand that not all characters have been introduced yet, and we understand wanting to space things out. However, if any player has not introduced a character by SUNDAY, AUGUST 15 at 12:01 EST, that character will be removed. This is not a roll call or an activity check, just the mods' way of making sure that all characters are introduced and being played. We ask that you do not tell other players, as the point of this is to make sure that everyone is paying attention on their own. Please make sure to utilize the character tags provided to you whenever you post to avoid possibly being removed.
Thank you!

The game is now officially open for play. Players can feel free to start posting in the various communities to introduce their characters, and have them start adjusting to their new surroundings.
As stated in the premise, characters will find themselves sitting in a white room in the basement of City Hall. They will be handed the PDA, told that they are now in Jurassic City, and set out on their way. Once they're in the city, they'll notice that it appears to be like any normal major city in the US, with the exception that it's extremely hot out, and there are various signs warning to stay inside of the city limits, and beware of dinosaurs.
Characters will get a message sent to their PDA with their assigned apartment, and the message will also tell them that they now have set up to the Jurassic City Network, where they can communicate with other displaced citizens. There are locals in the city, and they can communicate with them, but if characters try asking them where they are, or who brought them there, they will be unable to answer. To the locals, they've just always been around in the city, and won't be able to answer any of questions relating to how people are just showing up from different times and places.
If players wish, during the week of game start only, characters can have already been in the city for a couple of months, and have established lives for themselves. However, we ask that players only limit this to one or two characters, depending on how many characters that they're bringing in. If you are stating that one of your characters has been around for a few months already, please state so in your ooc intro post, so that the mods can keep track of who has been around already, and who's just coming in at game start.
If you are bringing in a character from a point in their canon where they died, that is perfectly acceptable. Characters will wake up in room in City Hall, perfectly healed and fine, and the last thing they will remember will be dying. If they asked if how they alive again, the only explanation will be that they just are, and there's really no explanation as to how they're no longer dead. Strange unexplainable things happen in Jurassic City all the time.
The barrier that keeps the dinosaurs out of the city is currently up, but characters are still discouraged from venturing out into the open jungle, as not all of the dinosaurs are vegetarians. Of course, that doesn't mean that they have to listen, but getting eaten is generally advised against.
If you have any questions about anything that this post may have not covered, feel free to contact the mods.
