PLEASE NOTE: Canon events for this episode will play out between May 27-June 2 (there was a suggestion raised last week to stretch 'Nationals' out to a full week in game, but no further discussion happened, so let me know if that appeals to you guys!) Game wide events will be listed below as soon as they are pinned down. The rest of this week is for plotting, coordinating, and laying groundwork for next week. Please remember: no spoilers outside of this post until Saturday morning!

PLEASE NOTE: Double episode! Canon events for this episode will play out between May 20-26; game wide events will be listed below as soon as they are pinned down (since this is a double episode week, we may have to get creative with our timeline -- suggestions welcome!). The rest of this week is for plotting, coordinating, and laying groundwork for next week. Please remember: no spoilers outside of this post until Saturday morning!

Special request: Posts about the Beiste story line are fair game, since it's something certain characters would react to -- but I ask that you please put all mentions of it behind a cut with a small ooc warning, to avoid triggering other players.

We're going into a 7-week hiatus after this ep -- please feel free to plot for the next few weeks below, and I'll try to continue putting up discussion posts every Tuesday, even without an episode attached!

...Also, I have a scene list, but NO IDEA how to break this down into a timeline, so suggestions are MUCH appreciated! Sectionals on Saturday? Friday night? And spill over into the next week, even if it overlaps with the Christmas ep? Or some other approach? Let me know what you guys think!

The rest of this week is for plotting, coordinating, and laying groundwork for next week. (Also: I've actually mapped out where the next couple of episodes fall on my calendar, and we should be clear of show canon by Christmas -- so we shouldn't have another instance of game canon interfering with actual real time holidays like we did with Thanksgiving, at least!)

ETA: Okay, first pass at working out a timeline for next week -- once something has been pinned down, it will be added to this list. Choir room/big performance scenes sketched in for reference.

Monday 11/7:
- WSS funding withdrawn; ND decides to sell ads to fund WSS
Wednesday 11/9:
- 'Last Friday Night'
Friday 11/11:
- 'Candyman'
- Hudmel family dinner at Breadstix
- 'Take Care of Yourself'/Rory joins ND

Activity check complete -- we have some characters opening up, so we'll have another round of promo ads going out this afternoon to see if we can recast Brittany and Quinn (and Mike, Tina, Puck, Mercedes, Artie...) Plotlines with these characters can be assumed to be back to canon defaults, at least until we get new players and anyone with prior plot can discuss what to keep and what to toss with them.

With new episodes starting up next week, I thought it might be a good time to clarify how new episode canon and in-game timelines work, both for our new members and our veterans. It's been kind of a free-for-all so far, and I've been approached for clarification, so hopefully this will make sense and work for everyone involved.

The main confusion I've seen has been how to time canon events in game -- there's been folks who start posting about show canon immediately, and some who drag it out over the week until the next ep. Playing an episode Tuesday-Tuesday isn't very efficient, though, since it's not a standard school week, and assumes that everyone watches the eps live and immediately plots out character interactions that night. So here's the solution I'm proposing, and if anyone has any suggestions or additions, feel free to chime in. (I've clipped this directly from our FAQ and edited it, so hopefully it makes sense.)
