HI WE MISSED LAST WEEK CUZ THERE WAS A LOT BUT WE'RE HERE NOW

• First, usual and schedule stuff:
  
  • Apps are now closed! However, since we did not formally announce that apps were open in a timely manner, we'll allow stragglers to submit their apps up until this Tuesday at 10PM PST.
  
  
  • Starting this month, Activity Check is 1 points thread and 2 unitmate threads but both threads can be from the same post. It's updated on the AC sheet now!
  
  
  • If you missed it, the monthly themes have changed out! This September & October will have the keywords Play and Change!
  
  
  • Some Downtime Actions have been responded to, we're well on our way to getting to the other ones; thank you for your patience!
  
  
  • Grace Yi and Beautiful End are graduating in late September! Give them your congratulations ♥
  
  
  • Hunger Games is running on October 1st through October 8th. Sign-ups to come!
  
  
  • Kira is running Jumanji on October 23-26! It will have potential for injury and death, but in like, a cute way.
  AND NOW, THE BIG STUFF.


• As of Day 402, due to a certain character's wish, Heaven Graduates are now able to visit Heaven-aligned worlds. Additionally, Hell and Heaven Graduates may communicate with each other through text, talk, and video and Hell Graduates may visit other Hell worlds, as well as Neutral (not owned by Heaven or Hell) worlds.


• We reached out to our Hell Graduates and got a few questions accumulated to answer on our new informational posts for Graduates! Check out Hell Graduates and Heaven Graduates informational pages for the deets, and if you have more questions, feel free to hit us up on the Q&A!


• Also as of Day 402, due to another certain character's wish, imeeji idols now have worker's rights. What does this mean?
  
  For one, imeeji idols can now buy stock of Tokyo-F and the imeeji Idol Program. TL;DR, this is a unit pointsink for cool perks like buying a building. We're gonna play stonks now. (Note: this is pretty experimental; we can and will adjust things, and we welcome feedback!)
  
  For another, idols can now receive work bonuses. What this actually means OOC is that we have an (again, experimental) activity reward system now! Full disclosure: we're doing it this way (limited number of posts, comment count) so as to encourage fuller threading in specific spots, rather than getting a lot of threads throughout the month. It's designed to be as easy as it can be for players, but it might take some getting used to.
  
  We know this is a lot of stuff to be adding on—and we're happy to hear any feedback you have for us on both of these new mechanics! If you've got better incentives in mind, you can suggest them to the respective posts' headers, and we'll see what we can do ♥


• AND OF COURSE, THE BIGGEST THING: PLACEMENTS
