we(dnesday)ekly announcements!

[imepro]

Hello, Imeeji! Once again, we've got some pretty important announcements going on. (All announcements are important but this one is Important, ok. Don't skip out on announcements!!)

• First, Activity Check is up!!! Go turn that in right now!!

• The Setting Upgrade poll is up. This time, the top two will be chosen for the upgrade!

• Though we've had this as informal policy, we have formally appended the following to the Rules page:

♚Joining the Discord server is required. The game will contain potentially triggering material, so OOC communication and coordination is a must. We encourage players to use the Imeeji Discord server to contact each other. Please do not contact the mods on Discord for questions, however; instead, use our Q&A page or email us (imeeji.p@gmail.com)

• With the game settling into its 6 month mark, we will be shifting gears to create a more PvP-friendly environment in Imeeji moving forward. If you have suggestions, you're more than welcome to email us!

• Due to recent OOC atmosphere, we want to clear the air and reaffirm a few things. As per our rules page, Imeeji is a game that welcomes negative CR, PvP, and darker elements such as grudges and murder. With that mind, please remember the following:

• Communication is important, but please keep in mind your wording and behavior when approaching other players about conflict. Unprompted justification of your character's behavior in another person's plurk, for example, may come off as stifling opportunities for IC conflict rather than encouraging it.

• Players in Imeeji should be willing to engage with negative CR and conflict, or otherwise be willing to navigate around it both IC and OOC. Players should not be forced to engage with every instance of conflict and drama, but every instance should be given the chance to occur.

• IC tensions are not OOC problems to solve, but opportunities for new areas of play. We're here for the messy drama, so please keep in mind that IC problems do not necessarily need to be solved OOC so long as it's fun for everyone involved.

Please note that inflexibility with regards to the above is a direct violation of our game rules, and we are within our rights to eject a character or player from the game if we see unacceptable behavior. Just be chill! If it's not something you don't like or don't want to see, don't engage with it - simple as that.

Alright, we're done being the fun police. Announcements will return to their regular Sunday schedule next week!
