HEY, KIDS. GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS?

It's time for the alcoholic population of Paradisa to increase. It's OOC intro time! This is Tiffany, player of autophoenix and miseternity, bringing you a character without any superpowers for once. For those of you who have spent the past five years under a rock don't know, this is Dean Winchester from Supernatural. He's Sam's brother, hunts evil things, it's very exciting stuff.

Yeah, I still don't know how I'm going to get around him going after Damon either. Whatever. It's a big castle.

ANYWAY. He's from 5.08 Changing Channels, so he's got something of an understanding of his crazy angel apocalypse life, but is not ... merely around for the sole purpose of being gay in Castiel's general direction and making biologically ticking ovaries explode via paternal instinct yet. Fun stuff.

His IC intro should be up sometime next week. I have midterms this week and this weekend, I have company. So, herp.

You know you're excited to see this beautiful face.

Oh, hello. This is Christina bringing you this HBIC in Katherine Pierce from the TV series The Vampire Diaries. She's quite the manipulative bitch and she's full of secrets. Her canon point is mid-dancing in episode 2x19 Klaus and her loss is brilliant.

She can no longer go near Stefan Salvatore. That's MEAN you say? Oh, it gets worse. If she does go near him, starting at 50 feet away from him she'll start to feel a slight electrical shock-tingle. The closer she gets, the stronger that electrical shock gets. I like to call it Katherine's invisible Dog Fencing Loss. The closer she is the more in pain she gets. If she were to actually bite through the pain and get within that personal space bubble, it'd be the equivalent to getting tased. Oh, Katherine.

To make Alaric's life MORE miserable, she's not only arriving in his room, but the castle will be assigning her to that room too. (Hannah and I are cruel, cruel people.)

I'll intro her tonight!

As usual = aim = onlysayinghello

ALSO - This is a note to say that I'm attending the SyFy Digital Press Tour this Columbus Day so I'll be in panels and conference meetings Sunday and Monday and flying to Atlanta and Orlando this weekend. If I'm slow, it's because I'm IN THE AIR or in a conference room OR AT HARRY POTTER with the stars of SyFy TV shows.

So we hear you like redheads.

Hello, Paradisa. This is Emily, mun of this crazy crew bringing in my sixth character, Tess Mercer from TV's Smallville.

I know she was already in the castle before, but this Tess is coming in a little earlier than last time -- 919: Sacrifice, after Chloe ... kills her with a defibrillator, but before she gets brought back. Her loss is her ability to use a gun. If she tries fake flowers will shoot out the end of it. Or maybe a nice banner that says BANG! in big letters. She hates it already.

I'm really excited to be bringing her in and will either be introing her today or tomorrow. If you want to get in touch with me for plotting purposes, you can always hit me up on AIM @ iluvroadrunner6, shoot me an e-mail (iluvroadrunner6@yahoo.com), or find me on plurk.

How's The Game Changes

[paradisamods]

Here is a list of changes as discussed in the How's The Game and Activity discussions.


APPLICATIONS

The rule has been changed. Players must wait one month after applying for a character before they can apply for another.


RE-APPLYING WITH MEMORIES

As the idea has received favorable votes, players will be allowed to re-apply for characters they have played in the past and keep the memories of their previous stay(s) in Paradisa.

Players can expect this element to be introduced around Christmas, and its introduction will be tied into a plot. The applications will be slightly different than normal applications, and will be accepted in to-be-determined cycles. More information on this process will be provided as the date approaches. :)


SOCK JOURNALS

Sock journals will continue to be allowed on all How's My Driving and How's The Game discussions. They will still need to request membership before posting, and the staff team will continue to moderate their behavior and take action when necessary.


ACTIVITY CHECK

If you reply to a log entry and tag the entry with your character's tag, it will count as 1 post for activity. Any log participant that is tagged into the entry will receive credit for the post as all are taking ownership of that post.

The current tag system will remain the same, with a single tag per character.

As requested, the mod team will no longer keep track of dropped threads or players who are perceived as "squatters." Mods will only verify that players are meeting the minimum activity requirements for the month. If players have an issue with another player's activity, they are encouraged to contact a mod or use the Character Complaint page.


POLL

It was suggested that Paradisa switch to a "Post Your Own Activity" style activity check. If implemented, players would be accountable for providing proof of their monthly activity by replying to an activity check post with links of their entries and/or comments to entries. The staff will then verify that the minimum requirement for activity has been met. Any player that does not reply before the deadline would be swept from the game.

Example: October activity check entry is posted.

- Player replies in a comment, listing all characters they play
- Player provides links to any/all entries made for October
- If entries were not posted, player provides links to all threads that occurred in the month of October
- A member of the staff will verify the links provided to ensure they have met the minimum requirements for activity

- If a player has not replied to the post by the deadline, their characters will be swept from the game

If there is a demand for this style of activity check, it will be implemented for this month as a trial. Once the activity check has been completed, players will be asked for their feedback and whether or not they would like to see it continued.

Is this an element you would like to see?

Hey guys!

Just a quick note to say that I am, sadly, dropping Tavros. He had an excellent (almost year-long!) run, and I love you guys and all the CR he had, but unfortunately I've just lost all motivation for him.

He'll be going home to do spoilery things and lay down some ill incendiaries!!!!

I am still here with Ino and Anders though. :)
