The November CotM poll is up! [link]

Today is the last day to post in the November lottery thread! [link]

I will be going over threads and character activity during my 4pm to 6pm site session (I have to leave for a dentist appointment soon), so you need to make sure you don't have any late posts or are below the activity line or you will be exited, docked points, and/or moved to limbo!

As of right now, Cain has agreed to do a Christmas type/themed event. We will not be distributing presents in this manner to maintain a level of fairness and because we do have a gift thread planned and it wont be alternate reality, because even if you get interaction with characters, it doesn't carry over to normal RP and thus no connections are developed and no character growth occurs. It will be run similarly to the Halloween event, so look forward to that!

Be sure to keep in mind as you go through the month of December who is showing promise for CotM, WotM, and MotM nominees!

Don't forget, that after this month, it will be a New Year, both in real life and on AK! The year will be 2001 n.w. Hopefully your characters will end it on a high note!

Results for CotM, MotM, and WotM (and lottery, which was Jeff) for November are final!

CotM - Mihamaru

MotM - Haru

WotM - Cain as Shuchiku Kiba

Congratulations to all of you! You'll all be listed in the Hall of Fame and have your choice among a few prizes which can be found here. [link] Make sure you get your selection PMed to me. WotM will also have one post from November put into the Third Division Library thread. [link]

Also as far as nominations, when nominating a person, make sure they have actually done something during the corresponding month that qualifies for the category they have been nominated for, or else I will no longer consider them eligible, please and thank you!

In addition, the Christmas/Holiday themed event will start December 18th. It will finish (as far as the plot of the event) by/on January 1st. It will be a present thread, so you cannot be in another present thread at the time, hence why were are giving a good two week's notice of the time. Cain will be running it and the base posting rules (every 24 hours, no post order) will be the same as the Halloween event. Exceptions can/will be made for days of the two of the major holidays; Christmas and Kwanza (event starts after Hanukkah ends so it shouldn't be an issue). If you know for a fact there will be more than one day related to those holidays where you cannot post in the 24 hour period, then please do not enter.

The following characters have been moved to limbo:

Akegata
Akumu Shiki
Miyamoto Kanade
Nabi (received a PM from her about schedule issues)
Nelo
Philemon Arturia
Shizu Miroku (because I forgot to do it when we talked <<
Sonen
Tenba Genjitsu

I'll be doing another sweep in two weeks. At that time, characters still in limbo who can be demoted, will be, and anyone else over the activity limit at that time will be moved to limbo and the process will repeat. During the next sweep I'll also be going over accounts that do not have a character attached, and post a two week notice in here along with the limbo people. If they aren't on/active within the allotted period after that, these accounts will be deleted to clean up our member count for accuracy's sake.

The holiday event is up! [link]

The Christmas present thread is up! [link]

You may change your display name to something holiday related. It cannot be something offensive regarding a holiday just because you don't like it, you can always not participate. It must contain at the very least, your character's 'first' name.

I should be back by this coming Wednesday, from there we'll get the Christmas presents and award event sorted out. Please send in CotM, MotM, and WotM nominees to me via PM by then. I'll also get the lottery thread up when I'm back as well.

Only one person sent in nominees for December's otM categories. I need at least three more for each category before I can put the polls up. Remember, if someone won in a category the past month, they cannot be nominated for the same category the next.
