[TODAY AT THE POOL ... it is still mostly empty and full of leaves and stuff. but the sun is out! and there's a nice comfy couch by the poolside and a girl in a very classy looking leather chair, decked out in her swimsuit and enjoying the weather]

So tell me, how does this make you feel?

[there is a lost-looking, and depending on who you are, possibly familiar-looking little boy wandering around camp this evening.]

[he's also probably looking into the windows of your cabins. If he can get into your cabin, he's probably curiously nosying around in your stuff. 8D]

[tonight, you might notice the mess hall is a lot more friendly than normal. how so? because random people will suddenly say nice things to you. like this guy here.]

You look cute today.

[meaning in this post? You can only compliment each other. No being mean! And if you try to be, well... I'll let you decide that.

PLAY AMONGST YOURSELVES!]

This probably isn't going to be a huge surprise given how little I've been around, but I've got to stop lying to myself and admit what I've been trying to deny for months now. I haven't had the energy or the time to play and it's not fair to Zeta or anyone I've played Ro off of to just character squat and not play.

I'm dropping Ro - which brings my character roster down to zero.

It's been a great year and a half, and I'm really grateful I even got the chance to play here. You're all fantastic players and great people, and my brain isn't working well enough to articulate how awesome all the friends I've made here are. Thanks to everybody for making me feel at home here, and especially to Pell for holding my hand through the App From Hell and for being such a great and understanding castmate. Seriously.

There won't be a drop post, but I'll still be lurking and might pop into chat every once in a while. #timestreampunch hasn't entirely gotten rid of me yet.

Thanks for everything, all. It's been a blast. ♥

[Is holding a letter and rolling his eyes.]

Looks like someone thinks I could be doing a better job adhering to my job requirements. I guess it would be too much to ask for a manual, right. Anyway, might as well make this entertaining.

So. Who's got an opinion on the Internet getting nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize? I'm still getting to know the fella so I might need some examples.

And since none of us want to tuck in early tonight, let's try to steer away from any bumhug answers, kennit? This is a learning experience.

We're finishing up a few odds and ends before our next major release. Our mighty Ops guys continue to slay spambots and balance load times on a highwire without a safety net (which is kind of tough dressed in full ninja gear). Down on solid ground, we're celebrating this week's virtual birthday party with a warm toast to pants. If you can rearrange the letters of your favorite city, state, and/or country (feel free to combine these elements) to spell one of Frank's favorite treats (e.g., pants, wire, paper, etc.), he'll send you over a can of whipped cream to top it all off (provided you return the empty can for his midnight snack)! And, with that, let the word scrambling commence!

Stuff you should know:

We're still working on the delayed/missing notifications issue. Sorry, we're frustrated too. We'll keep you posted. Last week, we became aware that a recently-implemented script was overwriting affiliate referral fees for some of our users. Once we confirmed this, our Ops team quickly removed the script. Please be aware that, while we may beta-test other affiliate scripts down the line, we will take greater measures to ensure that no existing user-referral arrangements are impacted in any way. While we plan to stick to a weekly news schedule, if we have a release in between regular newsletters, we'll post here to keep you informed. You can also check lj_releases for current release information.

To our paid users, we send squirrels in love!

If you have a paid or permanent account, you can send five free Squirrels in love vgifts through Monday, March 15th at 4pm, PST! You'll see both the free and the $0.99 squirrels displayed until they've scurried off to their new homes. Please send only one vgift at a time. In other words, you'll need to complete check-out and start a new order for each vgift you send. If you're not receiving vgifts (from friends and/or Frank), you may have disabled them. To enable vgifts, visit Edit profile (under Profile), scroll down to the bottom of the page, and select 'Do not disable' from the drop-down menu. Have fun!

Help is on the way!

We're pleased to announce the winner of our first charitable vgift poll, Doctors without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières, which provides critical medical care to under-served populations around the world. Priced at $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of the proceeds we raise from the sale of this vgift (we'll cover credit card fees). We invite you to start recommending nonprofits for our next fundraising drive at ljnewscontests. We'll take suggestions through the month and post a poll in the news during the first week of April to let you choose the recipient. We thank you, again, for your passion and generosity.

We've crowned a header

Congratulations to ohterlus for submitting the winning header, which will go live next week and keep us leafy through mid-April! You can submit designs for our next header contest at ljnewscontests now until March 31st. We'll post a poll in the news to let you decide which header will sit at the top of LiveJournal from mid-April to mid-May. All artistic interpretations are welcome. The winner will get a $25 LiveJournal gift certificate. All other contributors will receive $5 gift certificates. Our heartfelt appreciation for sharing your talent and creativity!

For this week's winning photo and more adventures with Frank & Meme, we'll catch you under the cut!

I'm barely keeping afloat with my studies and I'm starting to see there's no way I can juggle three characters. So as much as I selfishly want to keep her, Makino's going home to her kooky family and law school studies! Thanks to everyone who ever played with her and to the HYD cast for being amaaaaazing ♥ I will miss my tough weed who punches bears in the face .___.

A drop post may go up sometime soon in her journal when I have time, I DUNNO WHEN THAT IS \o/

[You are dreaming. Of what, you might not remember, but it's probably weird and/or fascinating. And is it entirely your dream?]

((Dream Post! Have your own dream sequence, or jump around and affect others' dreams. ETA: Oops, I overlooked the nightmare post from yesterday. Continuation post, eventually?))

Bad news everyone! I found a way to get around the sex ban. It's very complicated and-- [accidentally hits a button on a little device you may not have realized he was holding until now]

Good news everyone! I believe my Memory Resetter works! ...Unless it is Tuesday.

[[EDIT: Guys I am accidentally IC and fell asleep lol. WILL PICK UP LATER TOMORROW. <3 Also I fail at HTML whup.]]

Not sure if this has been asked already, but:

Who here is going to Anime Boston in a few weeks? I'll be there, but if I don't catch you, you will at least see the new convention branding and snazzy program guidebook, courtesy of yours truly. (That would explain my absence for the past several months).

Also, Peggy Olson is going back to Manhattan. I loved playing her, but she was never a really good fit for camp.

IF I DO THIS NOW NO ONE WILL NOTICE, RIGHT

Dropping Milo, my second Disney flop-drop in a row because I'm a horrible person!! BUT I AM DONE LYING TO MYSELF. No drop post, but any countries he's met (plus Raine!?) get short, handwritten thank you cards. I had a blast. 8(b

I MISS THIS ICON ALREADY

Raidou is over 10,000 comments now, so I've got a relationship/essay/whatnot post over here.

Serious Poll: Your characters' most unexpected in-camp relationships? Alternatively, assign your characters a cat breed.

[There are a variety of flavors such as: Zombie Sweat! Marcy Balls! and of course more normal flavors like Strawberry, Apple, Grape, Melon, and Fruits Milk. Unfortunately, most of the normal ones are sold out.

there is a kid sitting beside it drinking one of the Zombie Sweat! boxes]

WITH THIS WEBSITE.

Go.

Relationship meme for all of mine, including ~First Impressions~ for Accelerator. Del/Dancy/Bel/Deidara/Accelerator. Go heeeeere and let me ramble and rate.

*in the library. reading a book.*

"Love is a hateful peace and loving hate. It is disloyal loyalty and loyal disloyalty, fear that is completely confident and despairing hope. It is reason gone mad and reasonable madness, the sweet danger of drowning, a heavy burden easily handled. It is the treacherous Charyb... Cherry... Caribbean...--"

Okay, this is so over my head.

(Ugh, sorry, my internet crapped out on me. And again. :|b Anyway, back for the morning.)

[IN YOUR MESS HALL, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW: VILLAINY]

Could you pass the salt with which I can flavor this food that I am eating?

(( slowing down for the night! WILL PICK UP TOMORROW o/ ))

[itp, a cyborg vampire is getting kinda naked.]

((EDIT: Charley is slowing down for the night, will pick up threads tomorrow ♥

SON OF EDIT: Rayfell's attention span is going a bit flaky! which is demonstrated by it taking me like 15 minutes to remember i'd started editing this post. durrrrrrr.))

Information collecting! Please wander on by and leave me something to work with. As little or as much as you want is fine—it can be added to!
