Hey guys! Don't worry this isn't me closing the game or anything, so no one panic about that! Instead, this is me having a mea culpa moment because I definitely screwed up this month! And because I screwed up this month, I'm giving everyone a free pass on November AC, just making it a check in. Yes, December will also be a check in, with January returning to AC. Anyone who has outstanding strikes or what not, don't need to worry about them until January when the game runs on normal mode.

Additionally, because it's been a while since we've had one, December is going to be a memory share month. It has been requested that these be fluffy and light memories, but I'm not going to enforce it, just ask that if you guys have them, please use happy memories because you know holidays can be hard for both characters and players.

Also I'm checking in for interest for a plot idea that would take place in February. (January will be the end of the ghost plot for the event!) The idea is an AU event. What this would mean, and how this would happen is that the Sphere is attempting to fulfill it's promise of sending everyone home. Only it's getting it wrong and pulling people back different. So, this would give people the ability to play as whatever AU that they chose. The plot details would be revealed closer to Feb, but it also opens up the chance for people to play as more than one AU during that month! So down below please express if you think this is a good idea or not, and if you have any reservations about this.

Thanks for reading, and have great holidays everyone! (Whatever form your great holidays take, even if it's fuck holidays! Like me.)

Welcome to April! April is a memory sharing month! However, do to the trauma of the past two months, I'd like people to focus on happy or at least last tragic memories. Let's try and keep this month light so that we can get into a sense of normalcy before the bottom drops out, yeah? Memories can be posted throughout the month, and are the monthly event so spread them out. We've got a good memory guide for the mechanic here! This time however I will not be starting it off with Max.

And now onto come game upkeep stuff. Okay, so with April, I'm going to be instituting some minor changes in the game. They aren't very big, and most are things I should have spelled out more clearly from the beginning but here we go!

• Hiatuses: Given the nature of the AC here (ten comments a month), Hiatuses shouldn't be taken after the third week of the month unless it's an emergency. I definitely realize that things happen (ask me about things happening heh) but hiatuses shouldn't be retroactive.
  
• Domes with double occupancies The pod that both players respawn in basically is a queen-size padded bed sunk into the floor. However, do to the fact that strangers are sharing those domes, extra beds have been delivered for people's comfort, it's only right!
  
• Animals/pets as AC bonuses: a lot of people have been asking for them, and they will be slowly added to the game over the next two months or so! Indeed the entire ac point system will be getting an overhaul during the month!
