VICTORY SCREECH

a victory jam

For historical purposes, here's a quick review: IJ went down for a week, and we temporarily relocated to DW for memes and crying. Here's links to all of the posts on DW, in case for some reason you need to find them again:

( discussion posts, memes and ic/oocs oh my! )

I want to thank all of the beautiful monsters in this comm for successfully getting our comment count up to date so we can actually use our damn comms. Marin is still trapped at work so she can't put up Quidditch yet, and Meggie made some ambitious promises last night regarding the plot calendar, so that's also on hold. However, we will be hustling to get those up by tomorrow morning at the absolute latest.

A couple of notes:

• Regarding February Activity Check (lmao i know): If you have not yet passed AC, you get a grace period of 24 hours starting now. Anything you post in the next day counts for activity. Anything you posted in the Emergency Grotto Party or the Single Working Page on DW counts for activity. If you do not check in for AC but I know you've been active, your characters will receive automatic activity strikes.


• Your mods would like opinions on a permanent move to Dreamwidth! I posted about the logistics, but if anyone has objections to this idea, please add to the discussion or post to our screened Dropbox, please and thank you. ♥


• Please accept the community invitations for all your character journals! We had to re-add everyone to get membership working properly again.

• The plot calendar will be posted tomorrow morning (3/7/17) at 8:30 AM. It's a smaller plot calendar due to downtime and spring break, and as a result we're only allowing one sign-up per player tomorrow.


• Starting this month, House Points are going to actually mean something.
  
  
  
  • Via a combination of RNG and player influence, we will be giving a monthly update on House Points.
  
  
  • Did your character behave very poorly this month? That'll give their house a negative modifier on their roll. Did your character do something very thoughtful that benefited the student body? That'll give their house a positive modifier.
  
  
  • Prefects removing or giving points will also be noted, and will have an influence on this new RNG game. If your character starts using this power excessively, their Head of House may ask questions.
  
  
  • This will help us find who wins the House Cup and who wins the House Mug at the end of the year!


• The Quiddich game will be posted sometime between now and tomorrow morning. Marin is very sorry for the delay! ♥


• We're currently undecided about the possibility of a move to Dreamwidth. The mods are discussing the logistics, and will see how frequent outages are here. Regardless, we'll be finishing out the entirety of March here on InsaneJournal.


• Thank you all for being patient with all the downtime and delays on mod stuff! Things will be back to normal soon.
