Now that the dust has settled on GIRmageddon and the 4th Wall Event, it's time to take all that frustration those two events piled on and go have some good, semi-violent fun.

The Paintball game will be on Day 78, at the athletics field. :D The event post itself will go up on Wednesday evening (9/1) and will be open to... most. XD If a character on the DF watch list, Chuck will be very hesitant to put an air rifle in his or her hands. There is a sign up sheet on Chuck's IJ, but of course there will be enough rifles for everyone.

After some deliberation, it's going to be a total free-for-all. No teams, though characters are welcome to team up to take out more people. Everyone will get a gun, armor, and a set of balls in a color of paint.

It'll be an event-style post, and the "after party" will happen at the club. Chuck is playing ref, and will have white paint. Also, his helmet will have a white flag on it. He'll be running around enforcing the rules.

Comments/questions? Post them here! (Chuck will be explaining the rules on the post on Wednesday, so don't worry about that.)

Hey game! Mondays suck, amirite? Daypost isn't going up for a couple of hours, but in the meantime, a...

Monday Free-for-all!
This is a meme post where you are welcome to frolic and play amongst yourselves. You may talk about RL, link news articles you liked, post pictures of whatever, have mini-memes, pose questions, be dorky, etc! You can respond as yourself, or as your character ICly if you're so inclined.

Example topics that are all completely awesome:

• In this thread: Pictures of our pets!


• Marina Yearbook thread!


• Who would win in a fight...?


• Guys check out this video of a leopard on catnip.


• IC discussion thread: Which inmate should be the next warden?

4th wall kids can post too~! Have fun!

*breaks hiatus over knee* Alrighty then. :D Back and good as new~

Saix (_moonrise_) and Tavros (adiostoreador) are back in action; Alessa (lookimburning) has been sent home. I know there are a few threads Tavros and Saix were involved in that are unfinished; if you want me to send them back to work on those, please let me know. &hearts

Okay, so Richie is a super-genius by way of a something known on the streets in his world as "Big Bang Gas." Big Bang Gas theoretically reacts to what is called the "meta-gene" in DC Universe, and causes supernatural abilities (like having the power to fly, control fire, telepathy, telekinesis, psychokinesis, etc) or strange physical malformations (body turning into water, growing wings to look like a bird, looking like an armadillo.) Richie is researching the properties of the gas because he wants to break down exactly how and why it affects people. Not to reverse the affects (he's already created a cure for the Big Bang cure), but to study the "meta-gene" itself you could say. AND SO:

Richie will be recreating the Big Bang Gas in Marina to use for studying, but there will be a big explosion in his lab, which will lead to some of the gas leaking out and spreading throughout Marina. Should you decide to have your character participate in this event they will get TEMPORARY SUPER POWERS or SOME PHYSICAL MALFORMATION.

The mini-event will only last for ONE IN-GAME DAY, and you can have it wear off of your character at ANYTIME, as you need exposure to large amounts of BBG or prolonged exposure to small amounts for the effects to become permanent.

If you're character already has super-powers they may not be affected at all, or they can expect their abilities to go nuts (like say, the Kitties could possibly lose the power to phase for a short amount of time?) I'm going primarily by things that have occurred in Static Shock canon or have been alluded to, but given the complete randomness of the gas and its effects on those exposed to it, lots of things can happen.

Currently this post is for plotting purposes and for any questions people might have. What do you think?
