STATE OF THE TAXON: WE PROMISE TO NOT SING TIK TOK
LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW LET IT...OKAY PLEASE STOP
Apparently the hamsters are fond of New Jersey, as the weather is staying put with Point Pleasant. The regular every-three-days snowfall from December is no more, so keep an eye out for any major weather events.
Note: the aliens promise they will be better at snow removal than Michael Bloomberg.
REMINDERS
→ PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, go fill out your permissions meme if you haven't already! We need one from everyone, yes, even you.
→ Also, phone posts. Make 'em if you want 'em!
If all else fails or is just hard to find, remember to hit our link directory, featured right at the top of the mod journal.
FREEBIES
In an effort to make winter more bearable, for the month of January the hatches will provide free snow shovels and Chapstick, or whatever lip balm your character may desire.
EAT DRINK AND BE GLITCHED
The aliens want to start the new year off right, and obviously that means some ridiculous glitching.
For the entire month, random foods will be glitched in very specific ways. The effects of the glitch last from the first bite to two hours after the character has finished. Since the glitched food pops up at random, you are free to avoid or play with it as much or as little as you like!
Food types are as follows:
SUGGESTED COMBOS INCLUDE: Ice cream or milkshakes that make the infatuation come into stark reality! Cheeseburgers that make you jump to conclusions, speak your mind about them, and then pursue your current goal relentlessly! Fruit pies that make you paranoid but very lazy about it!
Remember, every part of this glitch is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL! Bits of food will be glitched at complete random, meaning you can choose to glitch or not glitch at your leisure.
GAME HMD RESPONSE
First off, we’re very sorry for the delay in getting an official response post up. Apparently holding super officious business during Christmas is a bad idea for time management, who knew?
Anyway! The simple answers:
→ New tags! For the ease of our night-bound character(s? maybe?) there are now three new tags you can add to your post to specify what time of day it’s taking place in. They are: (night), (day), and (anytime).
→ January is free and easy, as seen above!
→ The Tablet FAQ has been edited to reflect the allowance of different formats for subject lines.
The harder answers:
→ THERE WILL BE A POLL OF MANY POLLS. Keep an eye out for a sparklytexted post going up sometime in the next week that will have polls for both February’s Major Glitch and WEATHER CHANGE, where you can nominate a location that Taxon will adopt as a weather template.
We thank you so much for being so patient with us and our responses here, and please remember that if you have any suggestions or complaints, hit us on those posts and we’ll address them as soon as we’re able. You don’t have to wait for the game HMD to let us know what you think!
CLOSED POSTS
Following up with the results of the game HMD and lots of modly discussion, closed posts will no longer count towards activity. Why? Because everyone deserves a fair shot at activity and more closed posts mean less posts to tag into in order for all players to meet the activity check requirements. (At least one entry, plus tagging out to three separate posts made by three different players (per character).) We do understand that closed posts are often CR and player plot specific and we encourage you to utilize the phone posts and/or, include an added on "[ filtered to ______ ]" section at the bottom of your otherwise open post.
Please note that these, however, do not include posts that are screened from one or a few people (ie: [ filtered from max guevara ] / [ filtered from all vampires ], etc.), but posts closed to two people, specifically.
DO THE MEME. LOVE THE MEME. LIVE THE MEME.
Another month gone and it's time to play catch-up! Use the handy form below to let everyone know what your characters have been up to, and what you've got in mind for the upcoming month:
ALSO HAPPY NEW YEAR TAXON, YOU STILL NEED TO TAG YOUR POSTS! DON'T MAKE US SEND THE FURBY DRESSED AS THE NEW YEAR'S BABY!

Food types are as follows:
- SWEETS (candies, chocolate, alcohol, etc.): Hidden affections are known! Eat a glitched sweet, that secret crush will suddenly be a lot less secret. This can mean they will either stop caring about hiding their affection, suddenly realize they like that certain someone, or actually act on it however you like.
- DAIRY (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.): Lietose intolerant! Characters who partake in glitched dairy products will find themselves completely unable to lie and opting to tell nothing but the whole truth at every turn. Or at least most of the truth.
- MEAT (chicken, beef, blood, etc.): Forget the inhibitions, you carnivore! Getting glitched meat means characters that eat it will find themselves a lot more earnest in their endeavors, throwing caution (and also possibly less fist-involved conflict resolution) to the wayside.
- VEGETABLES (carrots, broccoli, peas, etc.): The truth is for losers! Those who eat glitched vegetables will be compelled to lie about every little thing, from what they're doing and where they were to their true intentions and favorite color. Think: glitched dairy only backwards.
- FRUITS (apples, peaches, oranges, etc.): Get back to nature! Delicious fruits that have been glitched will lead characters to opt for the easy way in any decision they have to make, be it an important life choice or whether or not they should go to the trouble of wearing pants.
- BREADS AND GRAINS (bread, corn, mushrooms, etc.): Let's play jump to conclusions! Consuming glitched starches will make characters just a little more jumpy, that much more paranoid, and even more willing to make ridiculous leaps of logic about their friends, enemies, and that cat they got from Santa.
