ANNOUNCEMENTS: Oct 20

[goosemods]

LMAO HOW IS IT THE 20TH ALREADY. Okay, head's up: Marin is still on slow posting because she is a disaster of an adult (and also technically just started a new job, so).

• Regarding the rest of October, we will not be adding new events to make up for the ones which were struck out. A couple reasons: a) we figure the Pumpkin Carving Party, Costume Creation Party, Quidditch match and Halloween Dance will keep you all busy enough, and b) we need to slow down on creepy events to maintain the pace of the game. (But of course Halloween will not be devoid of creepy happenings!) We promised compensation, so if you lost an October calendar event and you did not already have at least two other events, you will get to see November's calendar a day early and sign up one of your characters in advance!
  
  These players are:
  • Callie
  • Cheryl
  • Emily
  • Josie
  • Roz
  
  You five can expect to see next month's calendar on October 29! :)


• For clarification, blank comments are considered "invisible" reactions and cannot be seen by other characters, i.e. icons do not exist in-universe, only text. Struck-out comments can still be seen and attributed to your character, though.


• Yes, strict curfew and the buddy system are still active! Quinn Cunningham has taken the initiative to post BUDDY SYSTEM SIGNUP SHEETS, which will go in the library and on the bulletin boards of all house campsites. Aaand she's posted about it right here!!!


• Okay, I need to spend this evening writing this weekend's Quidditch match and learning a new JS framework, so everyone tell me who your characters are asking to the Halloween Dance so I can figure out who my characters should ask. Feel free to use this as a plotting post if your characters don't have a date yet. I'm just nosy and want to know.

Also, Meggie would like to announce that she loves you and thinks you're all so cute, but I'm not adding it as a bullet point because I refuse to validate this gross unprofessionalism.
♥, M&M

I love you guys so much!!!

Thank you for being so flexible with all your plot ruining babies.

Also, Cricket's mum (aka me) is so deviously excited to know OOC who everyone is asking to the dance. Let me know if IC Cricket might know this somehow. Remember, Cricket knows alllllll.

As for me, I believe Cricket and Raf are going together.

[browbeats]

Nate asked Tab and Robin is going as a part of a supervillain trio with Trixie and Chris. I think. IS THAT STILL THE PLAN GUYS?

IDK ABOUT THOSE OTHER TWO APPARENTLY THEY'RE NOT COOL ENOUGH.

Also thank you everybody who contributed to the blank comment spam on robin's post yesterday THAT STILL AMUSES THE FUCK OUT OF ME.

ALSO ALSO I encourage this gross unprofessionalism, NO YOU'RE CUTE.

[gdilevi]

Levi has asked Cecil and Maggie is currently dateless.

ALSO lmao MY BAD. Me and Emma were playing around with reaction icons in an entry but we knew it was OOC and the responses/reactions weren't actually there. Can we still do that if we acknowledge it's ooc or should we just not as to not cause confusion?

[threatens]

RUDE, ALEX, YOU'RE CUTER

ALSO I'M JUST TRYING TO BE FUNNY LIKE A HUGE LOSER, YOU KNOW I LOVE ALL OF YOU TOO :( ♥

[goosemods]

Playing around with reaction icons is totally fine! Obviously, try not to go overboard (i.e. a comment thread of like 10+ reaction icons), but we just wanted to clarify since someone had asked on the Dropbox awhile ago whether or not it's IC or OOC, and we figured other people might be wondering the same.

Supervillain trio is so still on!

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

Katya asked Casper! Like that's a huge surprise to anyone.

Ferris ain't got no one to ask and if anyone wants to ask her, good luck.

[chryseis]

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

She can know about Katya and Casper as it might be sort of obvious as much as she was hanging off of him during the 'omg so scary' thing and their interactions on journals.

UNLESS KATIE DISAGREES THEN FORGET THIS COMMENT.

Also, clearly it's obvious about Robin/Trixie/Chris.

[ninjaleo]

THANK YOU FOR BEING GREAT :(

Addy and Jonny forever I am sure but she'll probably leave early because criminality

I
Do not know if Leo is asking anyone or what that deal is since I just got his act together
I am sooooo helpful

[chryseis]

ALSO! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE FLIRT WITH WES AND THROW A WRENCH IN HOW GROSS THEY'RE BEING

[magitechnically]

Good luck with the new job and the learning!

My three are all dateless losers, though Ursula may ask everyone's favorite night creature now that Levi has moved on to sweeter pastures. Or Kurt. Or Holden. One of them sweet, awkward boys that she loves pestering.

Sun-mi is happy to ask someone but she is super new and hasn't talked to much of anyone yet in the journals. (Realistically, the only boy she would probably consider asking is Ravi but pestering him into asking someone other than a friend is more amusing to her.)

ARE ESSIE AND MINA AND DIEGO STILL DOING A GROUP COSTUME????

[magitechnically]

Please someone finally explain to me the magic of the blank comment. IJ is always like "NOPE. CAN'T DO THAT." to me.

[gdilevi]

Cricket can know about Cecil/Levi (she prob already knows) because they were on the OE trip together when it happened and also because Levi made a fanfare about it.

[browbeats]

I usually put an italics tag in the text box and then no text

[gdilevi]

[gdilevi]

Type <

Just < as the only thing in the box. It counts it as an incomplete html tag and posts it as blank

[ninjaleo]

A single < works too all by itself!

[magitechnically]

oh gosh. that makes so much sense.

[chryseis]

Yeah, just do (But remove the underscores. So a blank italicized comment.

[chryseis]

Really?! Way faster then my dumb suggestion!

[chryseis]

DISREGARD!

[magitechnically]

As does that.

[chryseis]

It disappeared my directions, that's how dumb they were. I quit.

[magitechnically]

Thank you everyone for being so helpful. This game has brought me so much further into the 21st center. 😢
