Solstice announcements!
Welcome to Solstice, everyone! All the godlings for 24 hours are back to their immortal selves! Use the time well. ♥
And announcements! We have lots of them!
First, and most importantly, at the behest of Mod Ash, we are officially moving over to Dreamwidth! Construction is already underway, and we ask that everyone have their accounts set up and moved over by July 13th, when we officially go live over there. We'll just be picking up right where we left off, and you are welcome to continue posting to the IJ comms in the meantime. Please note that any characters who are NOT brought over by the 13th of July will be considered dropped. If for any reason you can't complete this by that time, please let the mods know so we can work with you on it.
Don't worry about losing your things, though, because Dreamwidth has a wonderful Import option to make the transition quick and easy! Once your account is set up and verified, go to the Organize Tab at the top and click on the Import option. Check the desired boxes, give it a few minutes, and voila! You may need to add a few things in manually, such as icons (Dreamwidth only permits 15 free icons, but you can get up to 100 with a paid account. As a special bonus, mod Ardruna is offering to give anyone who requests it a paid Dreamwidth account for 1 month--just let her know once you're set up and she'll take care of it.) Don't worry, we're importing all of our threads and everything, so it'll all be there! We will soon be posting the names of the new communities over on Dreamwidth and providing links so everyone can get joined up, so please be watching the OOC community for further information.
Also new is that there will be a new account just for the mod NPCs being set up over on Dreamwidth, called "metemminions." At this time, they will remain strictly under mod control for the purposes of consistency.
We are changing our AC requirements slightly! Checks will now be done on a bimonthly basis (every 2 months) and we ask that you provide a minimum of ten character comments between any two threads on either the main or log community split however you choose for that period. The voucher program will remain in effect.
We are also changing how the calendar works, in that the game days:real-time days ratio is no longer 1:1. We'll be operating on a seasonal basis, so every few months we'll now say that it's whatever the new season is and you can mark things accordingly. This should allow a more relaxed pace and more flexibility for the timing of events both mod and player-generated, since you won't necessarily have to wait a certain day to post for, say, a Halloween or Thanksgiving event. Mod Ash will be our official Calendar Mod, so any timing questions can be directed to her. Still, we will ask that you please be diligent in time-stamping your entries for the sake of our Past Days Digest.
And, speaking of, Paul E has kindly stepped up to be our official Metempsychosis Historian! He will be recording the happenings of each day for us, so please give him a round of applause!
If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let us know!
