Finchwood Academy - OOC

Hiiii ♥

This is just a reminder to submit your dungeons by tomorrow, June 11th, at 11:59pm, CST. This will give us the time we need to go over them and to get them situated so they're ready to go when it's time to suffer. We love you!!!

Hey everyone! This is an important update with information about how endgame will work, and what stuff we need from you before the big adventure! Please read everything, and don't be shy about asking questions! ♥

( Endgame Logistics )

Hey guys! Just three (plus one) quick notes:

• There will be no activity check this month (or ever again)! So don't worry about that!
  
• The last PCal would normally be going up this Sunday, but given the busy weekend and the fact that we want to avoid spoilers, we'll actually be putting it up on May 31st. We haven't figured out the time yet, but we'll let you know at least 24 hrs in advance. It'll be a sparse one, but it will be happening!
  
• On the 31st we'll also be giving you more in-depth details about what endgame will look like, and what we'll need from you.
  
• Love youuuuu ♥

Hey guys! We have a few things we'd like to bring to your attention!

• The deadline for submitting prom court votes is tomorrow, April 25th at 11:59pm MST.
  
• Prom is on Saturday!!! Please have lots of fun before everything is a nightmare.
  
• Speaking of nightmares, Sunday is a Shadow Post! Please submit your secrets by April 27th at 10pm CST.
  
• ALSO on Sunday, PCal is going up at 10am CST. This one'll be a little sparse as things gear up; we'll also give you some details about end game in the next week.
  
• For this month's PCal, there are a few spots available that we'll let anyone grab:
  
  • Apparently frustrated with the fact that they can't be crowned prom royalty, the freshman class has been holding an election of their own and posts the results in the cafeteria. The less-than-flattering titles of the winners include: Most Likely to Trip ([Character Y]), Ugliest Outfit ([Character A1]), and You Suck ([Character C1]). Ouch.
    
  • When [Character D1] heads into town to check out the boardwalk (it's just reopened during the week for spring!), they run into Aurora Sanders playing a game of ring toss. She challenges them to a game and they end up tying. Either she's really good, or all that training doesn't translate that well to midway games.

Omg this weekend is so busy.

A few quick notes!

• February PCal goes up tomorrow at 10am CST! Don't forget you can now have three slots per player after two hours have passed.
  
• There's an early shadow post next month! You'll still have about a week to submit secrets, but we figured we'd highlight it here just as an extra reminder.
  
• As a VERY early heads up, Rin is going to be running around Paris from Feb 21st to March 1st, resulting in a potential mod response slowdown. Again, this is VERY early, but we figured it can't hurt to let you know!

Hi gang!

Just a quick reminder that the Shadow Post is on December 30th and we'll need secrets submitted by December 29th at 10PM CST so we have time to process them and get the post together. Go here to submit the hot goss.

Additionally, we're working on the new apps as we get them and we're very excited about all of these new kids! We may be a bit slower in processing than usual since we're still with family and Katie has caught child plague, but we'll get back to you guys ASAP. Also, just a reminder that fourths can't be brought into the game until January 1st regardless.

Thanks! ♥

Hey everybody!

We have a couple of big mod announcements, so please read this post! :)

• Tonight is the last night to put in orders for holiday treats! So get those in if you want them. A huge thank you to Meggie and Marin for running this! ♥
  
• In case word hasn't gotten around yet, we have selected and contacted the players that got the petition event. Thank you to everyone that submitted (we enjoyed the character insights a lot! ♥). There will be an IC/OOC post next Wednesday (December 19th) that will get the ball rolling on all of that.
  
• In preparation for opening the game for fourths, we've made a few small adjustments to the cast list. Just FYI!
  
• Fourth characters will be able to enter the game on January 1st and players will be able to hold fourths starting on December 17th. Additionally, for players that have a character in each year, we'll be lifting the current ban on not having more than one boy/girl for the same year. We implemented this to help encourage diversity in people's character choices but we also recognize that this becomes a bit trickier the more characters you have.
  
• If you'd like to start doing some character plotting and discussion, we have a spreadsheet available. Also feel free to discuss on this post!

Thanks! ♥

Hey guys! A few more quick announcements:

Congratulations to the Swords and Cups! They managed to hold onto their flags in the snowball fight and tied as victors! Way to go~ The Coins made an admirable effort but Marty successfully stole and held onto their flag. The Wands ended the game with no flag and no fort. Yikes. It was probably Iason's fault.

Just a note for everyone who put in a petition. First, thank you! Second, we're working to process those but there's a bit of a time crunch this week with Friday's exploration, Katie's crummy work schedule, and Rin's upcoming awayness, so you may not hear back from us for a handful of days. Sorry! :( ♥

Hey guys! A few modly announcements:

• Activity check is up!! But you probably already knew that.
  
• Tomorrow is (somehow) PCal! We'll post it at 10am CST.
  
• ALSO Tomorrow the Little Bad IC/OOC will go up. Squads will do runs, but then after that we're going to let you create squads of your own! Character-made squads will be the normal size (5 + Support), and each character can only be on one squad (that we'll roll, anyways). Each squad requires someone to be named a leader (doesn't have to be anyone who's currently a leader) and a Support, but otherwise there are no requirements like levels or element distribution. We'll fill out squads with NPCs if necessary, so don't worry if you can't fill up! You can start plotting here if you want :) This is voluntary.
  
• We're doing our first petition event!!! It's up here, and you have until December 2nd to put in your responses.

Love youuu ♥

Hey everyone!

As mentioned here, holds for third characters will open Sept. 21 (a.k.a tomorrow!) at 10am CST. You'll be able to hold the characters and submit them any time before Oct. 1, but regardless of when they're accepted you won't be able to play them until Oct. 1 (though you can take pcal events for them). You getting to keep this third is contingent on you passing AC this month, but... we're like 99.9% sure you're all fine on that front, anyway.

This spreadsheet outlines the things people were interested in holding, so please be kind to your fellow players, and if there's something that you want that someone else has, don't try to scoop them - have a discussion! We want everyone to be as happy as possible, and sometimes people are flexible ♥

We'd also like to remind you that the overused concepts list exists, and since we first announced it another item was added. Please look over this as you work on your new kids!

Katie and Rin will both be a little tied up at exactly 10am, unfortunately, so 1) we won't be posting anything letting you know it's time, so go for it when 10am CST hits! and 2) we likely won't be able to actually process holds for a while, so please check things yourselves to make sure you're not asking for something that someone has already requested.

Thanks! ♥
