*should so be in bed recuperating*
...before I go off and crash again, a quick modpost. From a not-modly journal. >.> I'll stop this one day soon, I promise.
Several things.
1.) I am Still. Sick. And I am Taking. A. Hiatus. from writing for a little bit. I will still mod here and I will still be available to answer questions, but I will not be writing. This is because I'm sick and my brain is about as useful as a jar of apple butter when it comes to that right now. So I'm sorry, but there you have it. I should be good by next activity check.
2.) The activity check happens on Friday, March 27, at 12:01 AM PST. If you have not posted one new thread/AIM log/narrative or two journal entries by then for EACH CHARACTER YOU HAVE, you will have to reapply to the game with that character and all those... awesome consequences will apply. I hope this doesn't happen to any of us. :( I like you guys too much. So far, the only two players that are totally safe are Bree and Dus. (Nicole, too, but this is unrelated to activity. And Amber is half-safe. Yay!) This is kind of disappointing me. I will not keep dragging activity out of you guys. I refuse. I am a mod, I am not a babysitter, and much as I love all of you, it's too much of a drain to be nagging, instead of there being constant playing and fun and happy-tiemz.
3.) The paintballing trip is COMING UP SOON. THIS WEEK IN FACT. Right Jaclyn? >.> So far, the only people I know of that are interested are: Plutarch, Psylence, Anesthesia, Pyro. IF YOU WANT YOUR KID TO GO PAINTBALLING, YOU NEED TO REPLY TO THIS POST WITHIN THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. You DO NOT have to be at Xavier's to go. Essentially, if you're not Decay or The Black King, you're free to join in. Go open invitation! THIS COUNTS FOR ACTIVITY YOU GUYS. HELPING MODLY HINT HERE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALL AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PUT ON THE BADASS MOD PANTS AND KICK YOU OUT.
4.) We just lost a player to the woes of internet troubles. Guys, say buh-bye to Irish. :( It was fun while it lasted, babe, and we're sorry you have to go. Husk, Roulette, Psych, and Bloodlust are now sadly gone.
5.) We have gotten a few new kids, including Dex's Icarus and Greg's Black King. Go here and use the friends button.
6.) Merman got a new face! Which was so why I started this post and... not meant to be the sixth point in a laundry-list of announcements, but there you go. Instead of Robbie Amell, Trev's now looking a lot like Sean Faris. Yay! (Also, dear Lord, I get to get off the FAILBOAT and he will actually develop those NIFTY powers of his next activity check!)
7.) CHALLENGE PAIRS, YAY! Remember last post I mentioned activity challenge pairs? Here they are:
the pairs
in no particular order because I'm kind of useless at alphabetizing right now.
Siryn & Icarus
Vine & Saint
Vice & Marine
Decay & Anesthesia
Hellcat & Psicopatico
Leviathan & Psylence
Magik & Plutarch
Surge & [NPC of choice]
Memoria & The Black King
Extacy & Merman
Pyro & Shadowcat
Phlox & Firefox
IF YOUR CHALLENGE PAIR IS TOTALLY UNWORKABLE, we can fix it. Here's the deal with these, kids. You have to do it to be counted for activity in the upcoming check (from the 27th to April 9th). If you have a pairing with one of my characters, or an NPC of choice, we need to speak before-hand, for varying reasons. Also, Jaclyn and Nicole: I will need to speak to you. I'm giving these to you early for a reason. Please. Avoid. Interacting. With. Your. Character's. Partner. Until. Next. Check. Yes, this does seem slightly counter-intuitive, but I'm saying it for a reason. Challenge pairs are to pump activity into the community, and also serve another purpose entirely. They're to connect players who might not normally interact, and potentially do the same for characters. And this is all to happen between March 27th and April 9th. If you're interacting with those characters before then, it kind of defeats the purpose, yes? This check and this check only, journal entries will not count towards activity, even if they involve your characters.
8.) A zoo trip is coming up shortly. Next activity check in fact. You can use this for your advantage for the next activity check in some cases. Six of those twelve pairs may actually pull that off. The zoo trip only lasts two days, though, so it's not like it's the only way you could connect it up. Only Xavier's students, staff and residents may attend. It is being led up by Firefox, with assistance from Phlox (because let's face it: 10 pounds of fur with claws can't do much in the way of taking care of students). Please do me a favor and LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT IN, because I'm an anal-retentive pain in the ass and must know these things. And I'm the mod. I'm entitled.
If any of this fails to make sense, I blame a lack of mental acuteness like I usually have. >.> So yeah. There we have it. Eight points of... varying importance. Read it. Let me know. Last time I failed to hunt down those of you that didn't read it. This time, I will not.
Quick note: I ask you guys to read these because they're important. I'm not blowing smoke out my ear, and I'm not posting them 'cause I like to see myself babble. I'm trying to be helpful and useful. Do not ignore those attempts, you guys. It's not okay. It's not cool. If you do it enough, I may kick you out. I'm trying to relay information to you guys instead of being a failboat mod and neglecting to tell you guys important stuff and expecting you to just know through osmosis or something. I'm obviously not doing these for my health, 'cause I just managed to get sick after one of these posts. So please. READ THEM. LET ME KNOW YOU'VE READ THEM. IT'S IMPORTANT.
