1. Am wondering what people think about the power limit. It's very hard for me to add more powers without them becoming redundant and/or too powerful. I think I'm going to make a rule that says doubles of powers are allowed. So, just keep that in mind for anyone who is thinking about another character. I know people really want to be original with their powers, but our power list is filling up fast.
2. I'm going to start making incentives for people to pick up scientists. Therefore, anyone who picks up a female scientist, as long as the scientist had her own children and didn't adopt, then they can have a power too. The idea behind it is that when their genome was altered in the fetus, the genome in their own body was altered as well. The side effect is obviously a power. You can have them develop it whenever.
3. The talent show is coming up and we can do it one of two ways. I want people's opinions on it, especially those who are going to play it out. I personally think it might be easier to thread (not to mention tag and label) separate threads. Like, before the night of the show, I'll post in the ooc the order with which the characters are arranged on the list and then you guys can either choose to play it out or not. Really, besides the Mao/Lukas thing, I can't imagine the actual performances would be more than a narrative. So I can post a Talent Show narrative thread, and all the collective narratives of their talents (if you choose to) can go in there. Then, all the other interactions, like backstage and so forth. Or celebrating after... can go in your own separate threads. That way, if you want to use one of the threads as an example in the future or look back on it some day, you won't have to weed through everyone else's subthreads for it. Just a thought. Obviously, the other way we can do it is to just do one big thread, but it might be easier to navigate through separate posts (not to mention prevent my phone from blowing up so i can turn my notifs back on).
4. Anyone interested in a little sister or child, age 13, in 8th grade? I've got this muse in my head and as soon as I get to a standstill with some of my other chars (Macy might be temporarily put on hiatus after the talent show until Noah comes back) then I'm going to pick her up. I have her name as Laney right now but I can change it cause I'm not really too fond of it. But her PB is Push-era Dakota Fanning, with the pink highlights.
5. In first place with 11 threads, we've got a tie between James Baker and Mao Sakibou. In second place with 10 threads, is Katie Baker. In third place with 9 threads, is Evan Elwood. And tied for fourth place is the Parker siblings with 8 threads each.
6. Emily and I were chatting and we thought it might be a fun thing to do superlatives at the end of the school year for the characters in highschool. Sort of like "cutest couple", "most likely to succeed" and whatever else we want. Then, we can nominate the characters ooc, and then vote on them. I can even photoshop some awards for the occasion to put in the journals, if you want. The categories don't have to be just normal highschool ones. We can think up original ones as well, or funny ones. Anyone with ideas are free to post them here. I want to hear whatever you've got.
7. There will be a hurricane at some point in the near future for the characters, so start thinking about how your character might react.
