ANNOUNCEMENT ADDENDUM

[goosemods]

...so, if anyone is wondering about the plot calendar, Marin completely messed up the timing. SORRY. /uses a coppertale icon bc that is both marin's house and the house of fuckups rn

November's plot calendar will be posted on October 31, at 8:00 AM MT, so a day later than previously stated.

Those who were promised an early shot at the calendar will see it on October 30, at roughly 8:00 AM MT, and we will be emailing you all to let you know when it's posted.

Also, after October, we will be making some changes to activity requirements. Those changes are:

• IC/OOC events created by your character will now count for activity (e.g. Cricket's Costume Crafting Party, Sy's Mud Wrestling Competition)
• third-person prose logs will only count for activity if your character has posted a minimum of 3 times to the scene (If you're the OP, that counts as one post.)
• TENTATIVE ADDITION: prose-ish scenes on IC/OOC posts will count too, and require a minimum of 5 comments by your character

BRB SLEEPING THE FUCK IN TOMORROW

[choneychurch]

That makes things a bit trickier for me, honestly, since it's a work day. Buuuut I'll roll with it, obviously. Cecil and Casper got some fun ones in October anyway. XD Will the calendars always just go up the last day of the month, regardless of weekday or weekend?

Thanks for the heads up!

[goosemods]

Yeah, we always aim for the last day of the month! One of these days we might do a day or two earlier, but honestly, it's a lot of work for us to put a calendar together and we're usually getting these coded and posted at the very last minute. :(

Like JUST TO SHOW HOW MUCH YOUR MODS DON'T HAVE THEIR ACTS TOGETHER I put the 30th because I forgot there were 31 days in October, even though, you know, Halloween.

[choneychurch]

Noted! Aaaaand that makes sense. As always, thanks for all the hard work to give us pretty things~ ♥♥♥

Ahaha~ Whoops?

AND HERE WAS ME, APPRECIATING YOU FOR NOTHING. HMMPH.

;)

[cecaelian]

ahhhh yes more ic/ooc events, please. Would the ~boy safari~ also have counted even though it was a tiny thing?

[goosemods]

Yes! If we need to start defining which IC/OOC posts will count, we'll do so in the future, but currently, they all do. Basically, we want to encourage people to post things that will a) give other characters a chance to interact with them, or b) give other characters something to do, so the ~boy safari~ worked perfectly.

I WAS BEGINNING TO WONDER. I got home from work this afternoon and promptly fell asleep on the sofa and when I woke up I wasn't entirely sure what day it was, let alone what time it is in Utah...

[overturn.insanejournal.com]

Oh good I didn't miss it after all.

[duelled]

unrelated but i'm gonna be back in action SO SOON you guys sorry for disappearing i've been on painkillers and i'm so out of it

[goosemods]

WE MISS YOU JJ~~~

but thanks for letting us know, take all the time you need to recover omg ♥

[orangepip]

Just out of curiosity, where do you stand on third-person prose logs that take place in the comments of IC/OOC posts? Generally the tags tend to be a lot shorter, so I understand if they don't count towards activity, but I just thought I'd check in case it was an option!

[goosemods]

Yes, they will count for activity! By next month we'll iron out exactly what the requirements on those small scenes will be. Tentatively, it'll be around 5 comments per character, and it must clearly be a scene and not OOC joking about what's going on.

[orangepip]

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
