Hey guys! We've had a couple of people send in apps and for some reason, Jewels and I didn't get them. I don't know if it's a gmail thing or just a typo in the addresses or what, but it's happened twice this week and it's making us worry a bit.

If you sent in an app and haven't gotten a response, please send it again. Unless there's some sort of nuclear apocalypse, you should get a response within 24 hours. If it takes longer than that, give us a shout. We promise that we're not ignoring you! We don't do that sort of thing here.

Thanks!

PLEASE READ THIS!

Okay, so there's been a lot of doom and murdering sprees lately, and once again the mods have decided that we need to bring balance to the Forc--er, game. Don't want the good guys to get too burnt out. STARTING TUESDAY: This is a temporary moratorium on killing and violence and stuff, and it applies to EVERYONE. You can't even kill NPCs for now.

If your pup feels the urge to kill someone, they will suddenly feel very tired and decide to take a nap instead.

Vampires and other 'But I have to kill to survive!' types get tired too, and will have to either nibble on animals or just get a few sips where they can. No killing humans allowed.

I want to stress that this is not in direct response to any one person or event. Don't get paranoid and try to read more into it than is actually here. It was just a culmination of a lot of violence, and we're trying to space out the murder and mayhem.

This will probably only last a few weeks. We'll post to let you know when it's okay to start killing again.

FAQ + Clarifications that we had to make last time!

So the last time we did this, for those of you that don't remember, this one mun threw a big hissy fit and turned into a giant troll. It was ridiculous. She's gone now. I'm trying to preempt craziness by providing answers to any questions you might have.

1.) Monsters are not people. It's okay to kill them! (Duh.) Vampires too. (except of course the ones that are played by muns.) There aren't that many monster NPCs in UTR, but the ones that are, slay away. Do be aware that they can't actually be violent or kill anyone right now, so they're basically defenseless, but if you're up for killing monsters in cold blood, go for it.

2.) Crimefighting is also still okay. Go beat up a few baddies. Just don't murder or torture them, and oh, your pups can't get tortured or severely injured to the point of death either. If you were planning on it, just wait a few weeks, please. This game has been around for 3+ years; a few weeks isn't that long to wait.

3.) Backdated logs are okay. It's okay to play out some death and destruction that happened two weeks ago. Just make sure you label it as such, and don't bring it into the main comm.

4.) We are not asking you to act OOC. We are not asking bad guys to suddenly like rainbows and kittens. That's why we said the 'falling asleep' thing. You could get creative and say 'nausea' or 'migraines' too. Whatever it is, they find themselves physically unable to kill a human being.

5.) If you have questions or concerns, feel free to email Jewels and I. We are always receptive to player concerns. We are not big fans of idiots who misinterpret things and decide to become trolls instead of ask questions. Not that we think that will happen this time, because you all seem to be reasonable, intelligent human beings. (Thank you for that, by the way!)

Please email Jewels and I if you have more questions. The trollfest happened because someone had many concerns that they decided not to communicate until it exploded in wank the likes of which has never been seen in this community. So please please do not hesitate to email us!

Edit; This will start Tuesday. Wrap up whatever you need to.
