[argents]

THAT'S RIGHT ANOTHER ONE FALLS PREY TO THE HOLIDAYS

i work retail (booo) and we're going to be suddenly down one member of management during the busiest time of year (boooooo) so my workload's about to go bananas. mix that with the family side of christmas and garnish with a whole plate of what did i ever do to deserve this

so banagher and chloe/christa will be on autopilot for two-ish weeks, sans the plot obligations i already have going! godmod rights go to close cr.

as always, the easiest way to contact me is sweaters. ♥

Care Package Mission!

[ex_purity762]

Okay so since a couple of people expressed interest in seeing how the care package planning would play out, and I wanted to put up a post here for planning purposes.

Since there's a limited span of time between now and Christmas (which seems like the goal to have these things ready by), I have a suggestion. Pierce's father works for a large advertising firm. While they don't have the best relationship, Papa Asher would consider it to be a good PR opportunity for client companies. As a result, local businesses could either volunteer supplies, resources, or space for people working on the care packages.

If you guys have other ideas for facilitating that step in things, please feel free to suggest it so we can all decide. Otherwise, we can move on to implementation.

Provided we get the "how we get the things" part squared, I can have Pierce let the others know about that arrangement (or we can ICly execute whatever alternative plan), after which IC arrangements could be made for shopping/assembling/delivering.

So I'd like to know if you guys are interested in logging the various steps of Operation Care Package. We could have a log with sub-threads for different parts, including ones for people affected by the quake getting their goodies. Would anybody like to do this?

Questions, comments, concerns? Lay them all on me.

Also anyone who wants to retroactively say their character's involved in this, feel free to chime in too.

So I want to apologize for disappearing for the last week or two, school death plus other stuff maaaaay have happened. In any case, I'm down to my last exam and assignment right now, so I'm downgrading this somewhat anticipated hiatus down to a slowatus until Monday, after which point I should be back to speed. I'll be chipping away at my backlog today, but if there's something I've missed, please do not hesitate to send me a message on my plurk (sheepyton) with a link and I'll get to it as soon as possible. This goes toward posts that you think I should tag as well.

On the flipside, if you're not a fan of backtagging, please let me know. I won't be offended in the slightest!

This affects Luci (ladyofluminosity) and Elly (worldmother).

propaganda i mean what

[wastingtime]

Hey guys! Just doing some quick plot checking;

I know it was discussed a bit ICly and OOCly with ICly writing some anon essays/blog posts/etc on recent events to get more attention; I went ahead and drafted a few that I'm ready to post with the idea that Elian's published stuff in the past under a pseudenoym and will be using the same here BUT 1) I know there are other players who want(ed) to get involved and 2) Elian is hopeless at doing computer anon what is technology so I definitely need more of 1.

Long story short, who wants their character involved in this? I figure in addition to needing people able to help with the anon thing, there's the whole getting-it-out-there-thing. (Also glancing over at Louise & Aave to make sure you guys are OOCly okay with the first essay being semicentered on your charas because I am a paranoid one 8u)

all aboard the hiatus train woowoo!

[flamberge]

Hiya everyone! This Olga aka Karl/Richard-mun saying I'll be on hiatus for anywhere between two weeks and a month. It's winter break so I need to get some stuff done before the next semester starts. I WILL still be tagging older threads, if slowly, but just will not be tagging into anything new during this time. Karl here will be losing all echoes during this time and reverting into your regular undercover cop so he'll actually be doing all that suspicious reporting and junk.

So yeah. OH and idk how often I'll be on plurk during this time so if you need me just PM this account! Later guys~

MOD APPLICATIONS OPEN

[theearth]

When Save the Earth opened last April, we never dreamed it would become what it is today. It has grown tremendously, thanks to the energy and activity of all its players. However, three main mods aren’t enough to handle something of this size and complexity, and we’d also like some fresh blood as we move into the end of season one and begin our transition into season two. Therefore, mod applications are open once more!

Applications are open to all current players in the game, and will be open until the end of the year. If you are interested, please complete the application form below and comment with it to this post. Applications will be screened.

( Mod application under cut )

Please answer all questions as best you can. For the hypothetical scenario question, we would strongly urge you to think of how you would want this situation handled as if you were the mod, the player doing the complaining, and the player being complained about before answering. The ability to balance sympathy for a player with professionalsim and responsibility is a crucial trait for a mod.

We need people who are interested in helping to steer the plot, play NPCs, process applications/Echoes, and keep things organized.

If you have experience running games, are familiar with more canons than most can fit in their heads, and/or are creepily obsessed with either tables or spreadsheets, please do speak up! We want to hear from you.

Because comments are screened, we'll be setting up three headings in comments for you to respond to: one for mod applicants, one for questions/concerns, and one for general discussion. Good luck!
