Hey everyone! This is just a quick note to let you all know that the current plot will be ending Sunday night/Monday morning at midnight (EST). All characters will wake up in the morning in their regular beds and everything will have returned to Colligo standards of "normal". The only exception to this will be anyone who was killed in the course of the plot. They will either wake up where they were buried, or return through the library in the event that their body was fully destroyed and therefore incapable of being buried. Obviously, if you want to have your characters post starting at midnight about waking up with their memories returned and whatnot, feel free. No one is going to make you wait until Monday morning to actually post.

As an additional note, Adam Young made a post here about people with reality-warping abilities. In that post, he and Jesse Winchester discussed all of those capable of doing such a thing getting together and deciding, at one time, that everyone in Colligo will remember who they are, etc. That is how we are ending the plot. The actual action itself will simply be handwaved, as there are too many characters in the city who fall under this category to feasibly do a thread. However, if you feel your character might qualify - and obviously we're mostly talking about any who can control/manipulate reality and/or thoughts of those around them - then please have them either respond to that post or let us mods know you'd like them involved. It's really that simple.

Thank you all for making this plot such a success! We will have a new one ready to go soon and, as always, if you have any suggestions for possible upcoming plots, feel free to respond here or contact us.

Hey guys!

With that little musical interlude over and done with, the Collector has decided to toss out a situation that has the potential for both angst and hilarity. Introducing the Canon Ageswap Plot! Beginning at midnight tonight (EST), Asaph will be influencing certain individuals in the city to swap places with either an younger or older version of themselves that exists within their canon.

Of course, this is entirely voluntary. Not everyone has to be swapped nor will everyone necessarily be able to.

Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind for the plot. ( Cut to spare the flist. )

Also, please note that characters who are changed for this plot will have no knowledge of their time in Colligo. They will wake up wherever they normally sleep, already changed into another version of themselves, and will not know where they are or any of that. It's very similar to bringing in a character, except they won't arrive in the library.

And that's it! If you have any questions/comments/ideas whatsoever, please respond to this post or contact us and, remember, have fun with this!

Hello everyone! At midnight tonight (EST), the bodyswap plot will start. This plot, brought to you not by Asaph but rather by a very bored Q Junior, will begin with a post from the troublemaker responsible. After that, everyone who is affected is welcome to begin posting with their character in the body they've been assigned.

Below the cut, you're going to see the list of pairings. There is also a list of guidelines and reminders. Please make certain to read over them and, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to respond to this post!

Also, as it is so close for time for the plot to begin, we are no longer taking volunteers. If you would still like your character(s) involved, please contact us and we'll see what we can work out.

( The guidelines and pairings! )

If we have accidentally left someone off the list, please let us know ASAP so we can fix it. And, once again, thanks for making Colligo such a smashing success! You guys rock!

Hey all!

This is just a note to let everyone know that the plot ended at midnight tonight! We meant to post this sooner but real life got the better of us today, unfortunately. Sorry about that!

Anyway. So yes. The plot ended. For those characters who might not have noticed and went to sleep in the same bed with their 'temporary spouse', they will wake up in their own bed tomorrow morning instead. For those who might notice through some way, shape, or form, feel free to run with it and have them separate sooner rather than later.

We want to thank you all for making this plot the success it has been. We'll have the details of the next upcoming plot posted soon!

~ The Colligo Mods

Okay! So, since the initial post about the upcoming New Years plot has already gotten over 170 comments and therefore is tricky to navigate, we decided to put up another one.

Please respond here if you do not have pairings for your characters so we can get the rest of the folks paired off before the plot starts! We know there are still some out there who either haven't been able to find anyone or who weren't able to get online yesterday to comment, and we don't want to leave anyone out!

Once again, the rules to the plot can be found here and, if you have any questions/comments/suggestions/etc. feel free to contact the mods!

Hey everyone!

The Mods here, with information regarding the Halloween plot! This plot will begin at midnight, Monday night (October 31) going into Tuesday (November 1) and will end at midnight the following Sunday night (November 6) going into Monday (November 7).

• Along with trick-or-treating for the younger crowds (and those who might be taking the younger crowds out), there will also be a costume party on Monday night. This is being thrown by Gabriel, the resident Archangel, at the nightclub The Serpent's Den that he just inherited from AJ Crowley.

• Come midnight anyone who is in costume - whether they are at the party, at home and simply asleep with their costume on, walking down the street, whatever - will turn into their costume for the remainder of the plot. This means they will actually think they are whatever it is they dressed as for Halloween. So if your character is dressed as a pirate, they are going to think, and behave, as though they are a pirate until the plot ends.

• The only exception to this are if your character dressed as some sort of inanimate object. Obviously, if they are dressed as an M&M or a fire hydrant, they won't physically become these things. However, they can and will become animals if they opt to dress as a cat or shark or something.

• If there are characters who opt to dress as bad guys/pschos/monsters/etc., they can feel free to kill, maim, and/or attack as many locals as they'd like. Please make sure you have full player permission before doing the same to any played character, though, and keep in mind if you opt to have your character killed off by someone dressed as Michael Myers, they will stay dead until the plot ends.

• Feel free to have fun with this plot but do keep in mind that no characters will turn back to themselves until it ends.

So! To recap: If your character is in costume at midnight on Halloween, they are going to become that costume. If they die, they're dead until it's over. If they kill people, they'll be killing people until it's over. If you don't want them to become their costume but still want them to participate in the party and various other Halloween-themed events in the city, dress them as something that isn't living. Or feel free to have them out of costume by midnight, when the change occurs. That works too.

Comments? Questions? Professions of undying love? Feel free to respond here or contact us!

Enjoy the event and happy Halloween, everybody!

Hello all! The mods here, with a couple quick things.

• First up, as we mentioned earlier, the Christmas In July plot is starting to wind to a close. Over the next few days, the temperatures are going to start rising and the snow is going to melt. The decorations will slowly start being taken down in shops and Christmas music will stop. This is going to happen gradually but all of it will be gone entirely by August 1st.

• It's also time for a new plot! Starting at midnight tonight, characters are going to start changing ages. Whether they get older or younger is up to you. You can even age them up for a bit then age them down for a while, or vice versa. The plot is fairly lax in that regard and, as always, you don't have to participate at all if you'd rather not. However, we do have a few rules to go with whichever option you choose.

( READ! THERE WILL BE A TEST! )

And that's about it! Once again, the plot will start at midnight tonight and will run two, possibly three, weeks depending on player interest. If you have any questions, feel free to respond here or contact us!

Hello lovelies!

Just a note from the mods real quick to cover a few questions we've been asked regarding a recent gamewide development. Namely, the Collector's decision to bring various places/things/beings from other realities to Colligo.

For the most part, this is meant to signify a shift in the game. Now that the city isn't shut off from the rest of the planet, and exploration is possible even if living outside of the city currently is not, the Collector wants reasons for people to want to stick around too. Which is why he's decided to allow things from home to start popping up. However, we of course don't want things to get completely out of hand, so there are a few guidelines.

( Cut to spare the friends page. Please read! )

As each situation is unique and this is something fairly new that can impact the game in a large way, we ask for the time being that anyone who wants to bring in any item/being/place from home that they please ask us first. You can feel free to respond to this post, if you would like, or you can also contact us via our mod post.

Thanks and if you have any comments or questions, feel free to ask!

Hello all! Just a quick note from the Modly Ones.

As today is Friday the 13th, we couldn't let this superstitious day go by without doing something to the poor sods at Colligo. So! Starting this morning, which means that yes, backdating is allowed (including network and comm posts), everyone in the city is going to be experiencing the worst luck ever. Basically, consider this day a Murphy's Law sort of day. Meaning anything that can go wrong quite likely will and odds are will do so in a very big way.

At midnight going into Saturday (EST), the bad luck streak will end and things will return to Colligo's idea of normal. And, of course, if you have any questions/comments/idea/etc feel free to respond here or the mod contact post. Thanks and keep being awesome!

~ Jessy, on behalf of the Colligo Mod Squad

Hello lovelies! This is just a quick note from us because there seems to be a touch of confusion out there as to what this particular plot we're currently having entails. To clarify:

• This plot is solely up to your discretion. You can opt in as many of your characters as you would like or you can opt to simply sit back and watch the chaos.

• Should you want to include your characters in the madness, you can pick any of our previous plots (minus the invasion ones) we've had in game before. You can even pick more than one, at a time, or one right after the other.

• All rules that applied to each plot will also apply to your character if you use that plot now. For example: If someone is de-aged to a small child, they will not know who anyone is they have met in game as an adult unless they have also met them in their own reality or know of them through some canon puncturing source (if allowed by the character being punctured, obviously). Please refer to the posts in colligo to see the specific rules of each plot as they were introduced to the game.

• The overall Collector's Greatest Hits plot ends at the end of April. However you can choose to have your character go back to normal well before that, if you would like. The end of the plot, in this instance, merely means that all characters still affected by the 'cut off' date will default back to normal at that point.

Hopefully this clears things up but, if you have any questions, feel free to respond here or our handy, dandy mod contact post!

Thanks and keep at it. You guys rock!

Time for the ninth day of presents from the Collector to your characters.

The characters have found the following gifts in their respective flats:

Check back tomorrow for more gifts!

Okay folks. In three hours time (at midnight EST), the AU plot will officially come to an end. Everyone will turn back to normal. Whether characters remember what happened to them or not is up to you. All we ask is that any characters from the future not remember anything too specific.

Also, don't forget to request items from home for the Present Exchange 2010!! This will be running until December 24, with a game-wide plot (details coming soon) to follow immediately after.

That's it for now. Thank you all for making this game such a success and we'll be posting shortly with the first recipients of presents so keep an eye out!

~ The Colligo Mods

The zombie plot will be ending at midnight on Saturday, October 23rd. As per the deal Azazel has with God, anyone who was hurt or killed during the plot will be brought back to life. The characters coming back to life will find themselves in the library with no memory of what happened during the time they were dead. The locals killed will simply reappear within the city, acting as though nothing ever happened.

So if you're planning on killing anyone, now is the time to do so. And thank you all for your participation in this plot. It went over better than we could have anticipated!

~ The Colligo Mods

Hello, everyone!

So, as per Azazel's post, we have a new issue in Colligo: zombies. That's right, zombies. But, on the plus side, the honesty plot is over so your characters can lie about how scared shitless they are. So that's something, right?

Right?

Have some Halloween spirit, people. Sure your city is being plagued by the undead... Sure your friends and loved ones might get bitten and infected, causing them to turn into mindless monsters bent on consuming your brains... But at least it's seasonally appropriate.
