ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dec 29
Last announcements of the year!!!!! :O

If you have not yet already done so, please post to December's Activity Check! (If you've resolved to drop a character, please do us a favour and let us know here or in the Dropbox so we're not awkwardly emailing you later to be like "hey... what's up...")

January's plot calendar will be posted on Saturday, December 31 at 10 AM Mountain Time. (If you need help figuring out when that will be for you, take a look at the green indicator here.) We've learned our lesson from December, so there will be less IC/OOC's, but hopefully characters will be able to devote proper focus to the ones which are coming up. Three words: Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Happy New Year!!! Here's a little meme for everyone to go out on...

Character Name:
Plans For Next Year: Anything you want to do with your character in the new year? Give us a little sneak peek.
Alternate PB: Was there another PB you almost used? Or a PB for a different incarnation of the character? Or if you had to pick another PB for them, who would it be?
How would that have changed them?: PBs have different moods and feelings, and can change a character a lot. How would your alternate PB have changed your character?
GIF: YOU CAN POST TWO GIFS, in case you want to show a side by side of the alternate PB and the canon PB.

lmao I KNOW BUT THEY HAVE DEEP CONVOS WHEN THEY'RE DEEP

which means chris really needs to tell quinn that he just asked Rosy to go out with him, because he has things to say about that. bc the last person he dated (for like a whole two weeks) as actually quinn. then after quinn he was like 'eh fuck i'm just gonna go back to fucking commitmentless' for like seven months.

he also needs to ask her when she's gonna settle with Jesse bc he's that asshole

	THEY REALLY DO. quinn needs to swear loudly at chris if he asks about jesse, because oh my god no. and she has her own things to share with chris. and she needs to criticize rosy from afar. roz, we need to do this. :( i never use all the ((( on sad faces and NOW LOOK AT WHAT I'M DOING :(((((((( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	qnnc 2016-12-29 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	yesssssssss she's also coming down off her salty anon behaviour so she'll be bitchier than normal, which is prime chris-talking time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doyouevenlift 2016-12-29 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	kay i made the thing. but for real, them both being bitchy at eachother is how they do most of their deep convos is there any other way to work through problems? I think not (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	qnnc 2016-12-29 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	yeah no literally no other way. quinn and ty worked stuff out by talking, and it was hard to work out stuff without threatening to punch someone in the face. real tough. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	oh my god quinn probably thinks she's untouchable because she's benched 90% of the time. she's going to be a fucking menace before the game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doyouevenlift 2016-12-29 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	i mean. i think this is just enough reason for quinn to get to play next game. just so somebody an give her some pay back. by breaking her face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	qnnc 2016-12-29 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	if she actually baits them as much as i think she is in my mind, it wouldn't just be her face. it would be like, her entire body. #worthit (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Honestly half the reason I've allowed Coppertale to lose all of their games so far is because OF ALL THE FOUR HOUSES, the team most likely to have utter meltdowns about it is Coppertale. Their spirits are at the breaking point.

Sy's reaction has been comparatively mild really but I love that Sy subjected them to a hellish two week practice schedule and everyone's reaction was like "yeah yep ok let's do it." And their next game is... oh wow, Feb 5? ok yeah the last week of January is going to be Hell

	they were all super okay with those two hell week, and half of them was like 'we're done with practice, let's do some solo practice' half of that time. and they still lost. it was great. so terrible. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	tightwire 2016-12-29 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Wait "yeah yep ok let's do it." isn't the normal reaction to insane practice schedules? (Reply to this) (Parent)
