[center][h1]GM Announcement![/h1][/center]

Good Evening Gems and Drakken! I have a very important announcement to make for you all. In the spirit of literally every service I know updating their policy agreements, we too have some updates (kind of hahaha).

Please be sure to read the following carefully as I have a question that I would like answered by everyone here. I will be posting this in the RP thread as well but you only need to indicate your understanding (or respond accordingly) once. 

Through the month of May we have been very relaxed in expectations due to various exams, holidays, and other real life events. As great as it has been, it’s time we get back to work… And with a new month comes renewed expectations.

~To accommodate the groups whose schedules made posting within the expected cycle difficult we will be extending the cycle from 9 to 14 days. This should be more than enough time for EACH player to post AT LEAST once for each of their characters. Due to this extension the GMs will be cracking down harder on those who frequently hold up their groups and by extension the rest of the RP. Please note that this is a bare minimum set to prevent being dropped/kicked from the RP and should not be seen as an invitation to post only once every 2 weeks. 

If you feel that your partner(s) are not posting to the personal expectations of the group, please have a conversation amongst yourselves and come to an altered agreement before bringing the issue to the GMs. Please remember that there are lots of you and only three of us. 

In the case that your partner(s) are not posting to the posted expectations of the RP you will be granted temporary permission to puppet the situation (if needed) in order to keep the rest of the group moving smoothly. This is an issue to be brought up with the GMs so that they may deal with the situation properly as a case by case basis.

~You do NOT have to wait for all partners to respond before posting again. If the situation does not call for their presence than they will just have to play catch up. Keep posting if you have something to respond to. If you do not have something to respond to you may either: post anyway or request a post so that you do have something to respond to.

~DO NOT WAIT TO POST FOR ALL CHARACTERS!!! This has been stated in the beginning and been widely ignored. Frankly we don’t care what you like it to look like, if you have a response for a group, post it. The excuse that things get lost is no longer going to be accepted as you are tagged in each post you are relevant in. Use the search function in the browser if you have to. This will not continue to be a reason groups get held up.

~The new cycle with the new expectations will begin on Sunday, June 3rd!

~If you are still interested in this RP and are willing to comply by previous as well as new expectations, please give this announcement a react (If on RPGuild please like) to indicate your understanding and agreement to the posted announcement.
