We hope everyone's rested and relaxed after their winter holiday of choice!

We are now back on our usual schedule of a weekly mod post (even though this isn't Saturday). We are also out of check-free week, and we will be running activity check over the weekend, so be sure that you post, either journals or rps, to make that.

And, as with mod posts, please read and comment so that we all know we're on the same page.

Cait has decided to resign from the game due to lack of time to play. We are unsure at the present time how (or if) she intends to write Shaun out, but if you have an opinion, contact her or us and we'll try to set something up.

Next week is check-free week, as is the following so that we can all get out of the holidays with our sanity intact. We do encourage people to play, and we want to remind you: after the holidays, we're coming back with Oracle, so be thinking about what you'd like to do with that plot, and let us know what you have in mind.

Weekly mod post! Note use of the word mod: confirm you've read this by commenting.

That's all we've got - any questions or comments?

It seems like a good idea to just do quick updates weekly rather than bombarding you with a lot of information throughout the week so whee! Here goes!

Well, we think that's it... any questions?

So, we've got a few things for the week ahead. We'll likely be trying from this point on just to make our announcements when we do activity checks to consolidate things as a general FYI. As ever, we'd like to hear comments, feedbacks--hey, just general chatter about these points or how the game is going. :)

First, activity check results!
