The length of the day

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

I completely forgot to put sunrise and sunset into the weather post this morning, many apologies, but for everyone's info, the days on the island are longer than the days on Antarctica itself.

Work on sunrise being around eight and sunset being around five. If you've already established something contrary to this today, well, it takes the island awhile to settle into a new routine.

July Birthdays!

[chasingangela]

On time and everything, and a master list repost 'cause we have newbies. As always, this is an IC list for OOC knowledge -- birthdays are not public info unless your character makes them known. They can be based on canon, actor birthdates, astrology, throwing darts at a calendar, or whatever else works for you.

Additions/changes/deletions, including newbies, go in the comments, please.

SUMMER 2008 TERM 2 WORKSHOP SIGN-UPS

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

Workshop Expectations for Students and Teachers (please read first)

1) Students are required to sign up for at least 2 but no more than 4 workshops. Additionally, no player may sign up for more than 8 workshops (so if you have 4 students, 2 workshops each. 3 or 2 students, any combination up to 8 overall and 4 per character. 1 student can still only have a maximum of 4).
2) This is not first come, first served as that is unfair due to time zones.
3) If there are too many people signing up for the one workshop then after sign-ups close names will be drawn out of a hat to decide who gets in (so even if the workshop hits maximum, keep signing up as you have an equal chance of getting in as the first person does). If a suitable hat of outstanding character cannot be found, we'll use a number generator. Either way, it will be random and fair.
4) Those who do not get in will be allowed to pick a back-up workshop if they want. This will have to be done over the weekend after sign-ups close, so prepare to respond quickly.
5) If you have more than one character signed up for a workshop, please state what character you would prefer to get in if you have a preference. If the workshop reaches its maximum number of students, only one of your characters will get in. If you have a student character in a workshop that your teacher is teaching, they will miss out to give others a chance to play. Your student character cannot be TA for your teacher character.
6) If it's OOC for your character to take the workshop but you really want to take it anyway, just sign them up and we'll pretend it was a paperwork mishap for IC reasons.
7) TAs - if you are a student (not a graduated senior), you must sign up for the workshop you are TAing for. The workshop will count towards your workshop total (4 max). Please specify that you are the TA for the workshop when signing up.
8) TAs do not count towards the total number of people in the workshop (ie: a full workshop is 20+TAs). There is a maximum of 2 TAs per workshop.
9) By signing up, you agree to participate for the entire term (7 weeks). Attendance will be recorded as showing up to workshops is how we keep track of your character's activity in the game. If you repeatedly fail to attend workshops, you will be contacted and are subject to removal from the workshop and the game.
10) Workshop descriptions are subject to change at the teacher's discretion.
11) 11 is ridiculous. It's not even funny.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Pick your workshop. Respond to that workshop's thread below with your character's name. Lather, rinse, repeat. Please use your character's respective journal for their sign-ups. New characters sign up here too.

Weekly Workshop Schedule (this will eventually be linked to on the fandomhigh user info page).

Workshops sign-ups close at midnight PST on Friday, July 4. No late sign-ups are allowed without extenuating circumstances (so sign up earlier in case something comes up). Students who do not sign up in time will be removed from the game and have to reapply for the Fall.

Workshops are for students only. Graduated seniors from this year are now alumni and are not eligible to take summer workshops. They need to arrange a TAship, have a steady job or work on the community project in town.

Please direct any questions, problems or marriage proposals to administration@fandomhigh.net.

Please wait for the OCD to be finished and for this notice to be crossed out before commenting/signing up in case a comment needs to be edited. Please. Have at it.

ETA: Japanese characters, please sign up in the Western style from now on (first name then last name).
