weekly announcements!

[imepro]

Hello, friends! Wowee, that was a lot, huh? Here are some cool changes that are being implemented:

• As noted before, games are no longer ICly optional. Characters will be picked from a random lottery (a gacha, if you will) and are transported to the Game Tower.

• Characters must come back to sleep in their dorms every 3 days. After the third day, their phone will start incessantly ringing alarms when they step into an off-unit dorm. Once they have received three warnings (in other words, after 6 IC days), your character will start experiencing monochromatosis, or sofaform disorder.

• Characters must wear at least a portion of their own unit's style of clothes. (This can be as little as a single article of clothing.) If a character wears no clothes from their own unit, their phone will start incessantly ringing, just like the above. After three warnings (3 IC days), your character will start experiencing sofaform disorder, just like above.

• For both of these instances, sleeping in your unit's dorm and wearing your unit's style of clothes respectively will cure the monochromatosis symptoms.

• Unit traits and Lives discussions will be taking place over the course of the rest of this month. It's a pretty busy month for everyone including the mods, so please have some patience with us! If you haven't already started brainstorming ideas for these changes with your unit, it may be good to do so!

• From this point on, game winners will receive 800 points. This will be reflected on the Communal Points Spreadsheet as well.

Our info page has been edited to reflect these changes. Now, here are other announcements!

• There will be a light take-home game on the 16th! Merikuri!!

• Hunger Games will begin on the 29th. We haven't decided how long it will run for, but we'll keep you updated!

• Everyone's maps work again, yayyy! Plus, the Communal Upgrades have finally been processed! We have a gym and a cute cafe:

ésforta, Akasaka

About 45 minutes away from the hotel is the new gym, ésforta. This fitness gym is, frankly, a luxurious establishment, with extensive, easily accessible gym equipment as well as a large sound-proofed studio for meditation and freeform exercises. Plus, not only is there a heated pool, but there's also a jacuzzi and a sauna for relaxing after the workout! There are free towels to be found here as well as mats, dumbbells, etc. There's also a field with artificial grass for running or playing outdoor sportsballs if you want to do that.

Alfred Tea Room, Aoyama

The Alfred Tea Room in Aoyama, 40 minutes away from the hotel, is absolutely adorable and hip. Coffee, bubble tea, small cakes, croissants - everything is instagrammable picture perfect food and the cafe itself is cute and stylish to go along with it. (You can find an English menu here, but it isn't 100% accurate - you can generally make up and assume 'cute cafe foods' for ease of play.) There are no employees - it's self-serve through a new app that downloads on your phone. Once you order something on the menu, it will appear at the pick up counter like magic. Food here is free, but the cafe is only open from 9AM to 9PM; after that, the doors are locked. Even if you break in after dark, food no longer appears and the app notes your order will be processed in the morning.

• Apps are currently being processed! We ask for your patience, everyone - this week was a bit of a doozy!

• Now, here are placements!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaay!!!!
