ANNOUNCEMENTS: May 29

[goosemods]

oh god how did the end of the month come so fast

• Last day for the prom game! In about an hour, I will be adding a feature where you can steal another player's code for 10c! This has been highly experimental, but there's been a lot of really cute little scenes happening at prom so I hope it's been fun IF ODD.


• Speaking of highly experimental, Meggie designed some Gooseberry merch but also put up an important message re: the choice of Threadless and other garment print services.


• The petition event has been pushed back to May 31 since we really need the time to carefully review petitions and write this event. It was SUPPOSED to go on the full moon but let's just... pretend the full moon happens two days from now. Or maybe the full moon will end up not relevant at all WHO KNOWS THIS HAS BEEN A 2 YEAR IMPROV EXERCISE


• June's plot calendar is going to be considerably scaled down since, again, we don't have enough free time. :( Currently the expected pcal post time will be Thu, May 31 at 10 AM MT, but might go a little later depending on our availability. We'll try to nail down a set time tomorrow, so keep an eye on this post. OK I LIED WE DIDN'T NAIL DOWN A SET TIME but it'll be after 10 AM for sure. yolo


• We are planning to get details about endgame out sometime in the next two weeks, so people can start plotting for it. That's our big priority right now, so mod events for June are going to be mostly repeats from last year so we can focus. But if players want to run some fun events in June, we'll have plenty of room!!


• Re: Gooseberry v. Hogwarts Quidditch game, I believe we'll put up planning stuff for that in the pcal...? So that is coming soon!!!

fuck off there is no way it's almost June

[goosemods]

i need someone to freeze time alex

[racingstripe]

i bet jesse mcbride could help us with that

[foxpaws]

Right like 1) how is endgame almost here and 2) how is the year almost halfway over??

[quickbuck]

hyperventilates

[lilwitchhazel]

Right???

I'm just trying to look at each passing month as one closer to getting out of my stupid job though!!!!

[magitechnically]

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME AND THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH.

[ashworthless]

I’m going to be here sitting on the floor and sobbing now ok goodbye

(Thank you! Prom game is the most fun?? I regret deeply never threading things like Jade and Nisha before but I bet the rest of humanity doesn’t!!!!)

Oh hey also would anyone want another June broom rodeo :(

[racingstripe]

God I love a reason to put ridiculous pairings together, this has been too fun.

And also hell yes

[ashworthless]

I know oh my god there are some
Hilarious ones and they’re all wonderful

I want to write about prom but instead I have to write about murder (another one!) so I also promise to catch up on tags later :(

[nothalfplaid]

I think what we've learned is if people offer us monopoly money for scenes we'll get 37 pieces of activity in 24 hours

[cecaelian]

and forget to sleep

did you actually work today because i know we're in the same time zone

[racingstripe]

God I'm glad I'm taking 3 days off for endgame

[nothalfplaid]

God right. Thought that was also from the long weekend totally messing up my sleep schedule.

Yup, I'm here as we speak.

[racingstripe]

Dinah fucking shot past rosy on my activity graph for the first time since September

[nothalfplaid]

I'm going to wait until prom stuff is totally over before I put it in so I can take before and after screenshots

[victimless]

i've honestly been so impressed by all of you but i was like "ok i can't force cheryl and alex and manx to singlehandedly get like 600c or however much it takes D:"

[nothalfplaid]

I mean

You could

[quickbuck]

watching cheryl tag in realtime via notifs makes me tired

[racingstripe]

the impressive thing is how she hits all of them whereas I just go "no I've moved on from that thread tonight see you tomorrow"

[victimless]

i wanted to tag everyone in my inbox but now im like "ok you got 3 comments out of that, let's move on"

[quickbuck]

i'm excited for prom game to end because i have non-game area threads to tag that i've been severely neglecting in favor of dumb thief antics

[ashworthless]

Yes
Yes me too
But I saved prom from Chad so that’s nice

[quickbuck]

i'll put up a jade/ari thread for you tonight :

[ashworthless]

♥!!!

[magitechnically]

i just saw the note about another broom rodeo and YES PLEASE.

also if you ever want to throw a splashy jade skeleton party......... as long as the whole school's invited, ursula's not picky

[ashworthless]

Yes I want this too

Hello pcal please let me flood you

[quickbuck]

ari's got this fcking ridiculous jumbo inflatable slide now and she has to do something dumb with it before the year's over

[quickbuck]

I enjoyed prom game!!! I'm probably not going to have time to play much today sadly but I hope some of you enterprising thief teams crack a vault

[racingstripe]

OH also, is graduation going to be June 22?

I ask because I need to put together the final gaming club pcal and if I only need to come up with 3 Tuesdays worth then fuck yes

[goosemods]

YES, graduation is June 22!

Which like last year, will probably happen off-site and then everyone gets carted back to school on Friday night and expect to leave FOREVER in the morning, but that night also happens to be the night that everyone dies and everyone will be wandering through the forest going why... why didn't I just go home with my family...

[racingstripe]

They could have sent your luggage home after you, you could have stayed off campus forever.

[lilwitchhazel]

God they should really know better

[underthehillandunderand]

Wait... everyone is gonna die?

[stclair]

oh my god isaiah

SORRY LOL um "everyone is going to die at the end of the year" is a common joke we have about endgame

[underthehillandunderand]

Is that what's going to happen? I'm sorry, I ended up having my entire day go sideways and I'm already getting so attached to characters I knew would be gone soon anyway, on top of some other way personal stuff so I think I'm being overemotional rn.

Oh my god I actually started crying because I thought everyone was gonna die. I hate today so much. I've missed everything and it's been shit.

[stclair]

Oh no, I'm sorry that you have a bad day!! I hope you can relax now. :(

And uhhhh I don't want to spoil yet what will happen, but I can guarantee that a) it will be dark (probably much darker than last year's endgame, and last year's endgame involved them getting kidnapped by the forest and being attacked by ghosts that wanted to kill them), but b) everyone will be alright in the end.

[evercreep]

Oh my goddddd I'm so sorry, I hope you have a better day tomorrow ♥

It's just us being hyperbolic, so you'll hear people joking about their characters dying or not liking their characters or their characters being terrible. It's just people making jokes, though. :c

[sovain]

ilu all so much😭

[bubblewrapped]

If you need me to write some puff slots for pcal to help out just let me know.

[ghostbluster]

Same!

[exacerbation]

hey what the fcu k am i supposed to be doing

something, probably, right

who is currently sitting there going "gdi cam fucked up our rp plans again" bc nows your chance to speak up

[underthehillandunderand]

Shoot there's no way I can participate anymore for prom. I'm sorry guys. I'm at work and class started today so I literally haven't been home since 7:30 this morning.

[stclair]

Don't worry about it! ♥ You can pass your credits off to someone else on your team if you want, but I'm sure people will still manage fine with the new rules. :)

MOD UPDATE

[goosemods]

OK I LIED we didn't hammer down a set time but the pcal won't be anything but a rough outline of last year's events anyway so whatever, it's not that important. It'll go up after 10 AM, definitely.

The petition event post WILL definitely go up sometime tomorrow, hopefully in the morning, so you can all react to that!!!!
