STATE OF THE TAXON: BY MY PRETTY FLORAL EASTER BONNET

[taxonmods]

APRIL FOOL'S

Let's just get this out of our systems: EVERYONE HAS DROPPED. ALL THE EXTRAS ARE NOW FILLED WITH JELLO. THE CITY WILL BE OVERRUN BY RABBITS. NEVERMIND! WE'RE CLOSED.

JUST KIDDING!

There, that's much better.



WEATHER REMINDER

Don't forget about our feed cityweather, for all your climate needs.



WE GIVE YOU THE GIFT OF WORDS

Another thing you shouldn't forget is the shiny new Tablet User Guide! It now has some visual aids and extra wordy elaboration to keep confusion out and awesome posts in. Check it out and don't forget: if you have questions don't be afraid to ask.



YET ANOTHER REVAMP

We're looking to update our wonderful community wide permissions post! If you have anything you feel should be added to help you with your characters, please send the mod journal (taxonmods) a friendly PM titled "Permissions Meme" with the questions you need in the body and we'll find a way to work them in for you.



GET YOUR NEW ITEMS HERE

We've had this under construction for a while, but now it's finally here! Has your character always wanted a puppy? A new car? Their old childhood home? Now they can get it if they can manage to jump through the hoops the Aliens set out for them!

Full details are here in the items petition post. Again: ask your questions or forever hold your pleas.



CONTACT INFO

Please, please, PLEASE! If you haven't given us your email address and other contact information yet, go to the contact post and drop a comment with it so we can edit the post accordingly.

Or else.

Yeah, you know what we mean. We have bears and we're not afraid to use them.



OLD SAYINGS ARE CONFUSING

March went a bit haywire, so April is all about cooling showers for May's CR flowers. Or something like that. There are already a couple refreshing things planned for this month among players (that'll be going up on the calendar once the dates are settled; all you need to do is give us a holler when you need something put up), so we won't be adding anything huge on to it. HOWEVER, should you have an idea for a game-wide event, don't forget about our suggestions post. Just drop us a line with some good description and we'll see what we can do about it.

We'd also absolutely love suggestions about holidays not Judeo-Christian or Western in origin and practice, so go and storm the post with everything you've got.



WE ARE ALL MADE OF STARS

So, we hear you like polishing Moby, posting memes, and being ridiculous?

To cut down on clutter and to make sure we don't miss important things getting posted here in the OOC community, we've made mobypolishing. EVERYBODY JOIN! POST SOMETHING SILLY! LET THE MEMES FLOW!

ETA FOR CLARITY: If you have an add this character post, a HI I'M NEW POST, a drop post, a plotting post, it goes in OOC where it can chill with the mod posts. Basically, any and all srs bzns/official posts stay there; memes, polls, and anything else we can think of go in the shiny new comm. AW YIIIIIIIIIIS.

...post is no longer even a word to me. POST POST POST.


EGGBERT THE EASTER EGG

Speaking of holidays, Taxon is getting a visit from the Easter bunny, in such a way that there is no Easter bunny. Just eggs. This weekend, thousands of bright, fluorescent-colored plastic eggs will be 'hidden' around the city to be found over the course of the month, filled with assorted candies, chocolates, and... Condoms.

'Tis the season for fertility, citizens. Just remember that safety should always come first.



YOU KNOW THE DRILL

Fill this out to keep your fellow players up to date on what your character(s) been up to in the city and plot together for new and lasting CR. Is that so bad? Not mandatory, but totally encouraged.

<lj site="livejournal.com" user="CHARACTER_USERNAME" title="CHARACTER NAME"> <b>What's been going on:</b> A quick summary of what's up with your character and how they're doing. <b>Things to do this month:</b> Anything you'd like to do with them this month. CR requests, plot requests, "I'd really like them to have x kind of development but idk how to go about it, any ideas," whatever you want to get to this month or a plot you want to start rolling for the months to come.

March Activity Check

[taxonmods]

Hey guys, here is your scheduled activity check for the month of March! As you (hopefully) all know, the activity requirements are: at least one entry, plus tagging out to three separate posts made by three different players (per character).

The following characters have been on the Activity Check for two consecutive months, and are therefore being swept (but you will OF COURSE be allowed to reapply, if your character is swept):

Claire Bennet → thecheerleader
Severus Snape → deathstoppered

The following characters haven't made the requirement and we have no hiatus records for them, soooo if you'd like to keep your character and not have them swept from the Taken list, please comment here and we'll cross you off the list:

Mordred → sibreden
John Watson → stockholmes

NOTE: Many apologies if you posted hiatus and it was missed! If you DO post hiatus, please use the hiatus tag, so it doesn't slip through the proverbial cracks of the OOC comm. Also, be sure to TAG YOURSELVES, or we will drink deep from your spinal column. ♥

of plotting and bringing glitches to a close.

Okay guys, time to get our organization on and end this plot. We can do this however you guys want, but I was thinking something along the lines of getting the posts up so we can start working on them and indulge in backdating if needed? Backdating is always love. Below the cut, I've basically just transferred over the last half of the plot outline from this post so no-one has to play post/tab jumping.

( PLOTTINGS FROM TAXON'S (DARK?) PAST... )

I assume we're still looking to do have Angelus locked up in that made just for him cage in the basement of the hotel? Amy, maybe Fred could point this out since she's from a post-S4 point in time and would know it's down there and was used for said purposes?

Sooo, yes. Plot, discuss, switch around-- whatever's needed! Let's get this ball rolling. /determined ♥
