Date Shifting Apology and Character Limits

[so_hawkward]

Hey everyone! We want to apologize for the confusion about graduation/end of the semester dates. A few months ago when we were hammering out the end of semester events, we realized that graduation and the welcome picnic were slowly creeping earlier and earlier into the year. We decided to add an extra week of break to the end of the semester, putting graduation back in May where it belongs (May 5th), and then the welcome picnic its usual week later (May 12th). We made the changes to the Google calendar, but forgot to make the changes to the academic calendar on the fandomhigh profile. We apologize for both missing the other calendar and for not making a post explaining the date shifts. If any dates shift in the future (likely for the same reason, to put annual events on a more normal date), we’ll be sure to let you all know.

On a mostly unrelated note, we’ve been looking through some old game rules/guidelines for things that don’t really apply anymore to the game as it is exists now, and one of the things we’ve decided to do away with is the personal character limit. In the past, we’ve limited players to six on-island characters, mostly to stop new players from burning themselves out. At this point, we think you all know what you can handle, so we’re taking this restriction out. Questions? Concerns? Pie because lettuce is still too dangerous to eat?

As someone who was already considering a corkboard littered with post-it notes and plans and schedules for who to bring in and take out when and how and resigning myself to being very patient (because I am still very, very, very much that person)...

....I fully support this abolishing of limits, yes.

(There will still probably be a corkboard and post-its, though).

I think at this point, we're all veteran players enough where if someone thinks they can handle 6+ on-island characters, I figure we can trust them. If nothing else, maybe it will let people bring other characters back from languishing in alumni-land?
