Hi there! So, I asked about doing this last week, and then like a dweeb I totally forgot, so there's not as much time, but! Since classes are due on Sunday, I thought maybe a brainstorming post?

If someone's on the fence between subjects or needs a good hook or an idea, or to make sure they're not teaching the same thing as someone else, come on in!

Hi, folks! Just a quick note that I realize some of the MHA information needs to be updated, but some I'm not sure about. If you have someone who lives or lived at MHA within the last few years, could you please take a look here and make sure that:

1. If you live there, you're listed.
2. If you don't live there, you're not listed.
3. If you live there, your apartment is correct.

Thank you!

OOC Communication

We all play in a fast-paced game where being funny or taking the unexpected road is almost always the exciting and fun thing to do. And while that's perfectly understandable and getting things done before the moment passes is always nice, please remember to be courteous of the people you're playing with. It's only polite to check in with another player if you're going to do something that will strongly affect their character. If the person isn't online and you need to wait, then wait.

Be polite and courteous to your fellow players. It's easy to get carried away, but a even just a short email or a ping on IM can make the difference in keeping the communication lines open and dissolving tensions that might arise.

Hi everyone,

OOC Politeness
Playing in such a fast-paced game often leads to unexpected things coming up and wanting to get something done quickly before time passes you by. Please remember to be considerate of the people you are playing with. It's only polite to check in with another player if you're going to do something that's going to strongly affect their character. If you have to wait for that, then wait. Also keep in mind that your character's IC behavior should not be used as an excuse for OOC rudeness.

Be polite and courteous to your fellow players. It's easy to get carried away, but a short email or a ping on IM can do wonders for keeping the communication lines open and dissolve tensions that might arise.

Attendance
Also, please remember that we do have minimum requirements that you have to adhere to in order to remain in the game. Teachers must post their workshops by the 12pm PST deadline, students must at least sign into all of their workshops every week and townies must be active in their job/business once a week. We have been lenient in the past, but won't be any longer and really, if you can't meet the bare minimum, then you don't have time for Fandom High.

Teachers, please let us know via email if someone is missing workshops. Players in general, if you're going to be unable to meet the bare minimum requirements, it is your responsibility to let us know that via email.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled mayhem.

Big Damn Post

Hello!

This post is a big OOC infodump post that's relevant to every player in the Fandom High game, so give it a read as soon you get the chance please.

Cut for length )

There are a few more information posts relating to specific subjects coming in the next week or so. Keep an eye out for them. They'll be on this community ([livejournal.com profile] fandomhigh_ooc). As always, feel free to contact us at administration@fandomhigh.net with any questions or comments.

Avoiding OOC Rudeness

We have a rule here at Fandom High that states "ICA=ICC." This means that in character actions will always lead to in character consequences. However, we would like to make one thing clear: ICA=ICC is not an acceptable excuse for OOC rudeness. You are still expected to behave in a civil manner and communicate OOCly if you have a problem with something that someone has done. Do not hide behind ICA=ICC to make your feelings clear.

Also, please note that jumping into a cabin post that is not marked as open without permission is considered bad form and you should gain OOC permission before doing so. Dorm common rooms and campfires are public domain and therefore free for jumping in. For all other posts, please use your common sense and, if you really doubt whether you should jump in, just drop the people involved an OOC note and ask if it's okay to join them.

Thank you for your time.

Just a quick note:

If you are bothered when the administration leaves OOC comments to you about official rulings and such, feel free to ask us to screen said comments, and we shall do so immediately. We mean not to humiliate. It is merely often faster to do such a thing when quick interception would do good. Sometimes, we do it deliberately in hopes that such a thing would make little issues obvious to the rest of the game community, so other folks can avoid making the same mistakes.

We don't play favorites.
We don't mean to hurt you.
We don't mean to spoil your fun.

We're just here to make sure things run smoothly for everyone.

In another admin note....

PLEASE DO NOT BRING A MAJOR PROBLEM TO AN ADMIN IN CHAT FOR IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION


Let us pause to admire my 'All Caps of Attention-Getting (TM)'. They are there mainly to catch the eye of people scrolling through the forum, not any indication of mood.

Feel free to bring up issues when talking to any admin, but please follow it up with an e-mail to the administration in general - if only to report that you did talk to someone so you don't end up with a second admin breathing down your neck and demanding clarification. Questions, comments and clarifications are all still welcome in chat, but anything major really, really needs to go past more than just one of us. We have a total of four admins (three at the moment till Servo gets settled in). We are supposed to work as a group despite our divided responsibilities. No one admin is expected to or supposed to make a major policy decision on the spur of the moment and nor is it fair to expect one to do so that may later have to be revoked because of lack of consultation.

That way leads to confusion for all involved.

Things that happen in chat can get lost or mis-remembered, particularly if there is a mob of people talking to a single admin. The more people who know what's going on from our end, the more smoothly things should go for you.

We have a main e-mail now which will forward to all four admins. It is administration @ fandomhigh.com . If you have a plot point, major issue, or something which needs resolution PLEASE use that e-mail. There are too many things going on where someone is approaching an admin in chat and pressing for an instant answer. Depending on what else is going on, the answer they get may be incorrect, inappropriate, or revoked after consultation. There is also the issue of a concern getting lost in the shuffle, people forgetting to mention permissions granted, things getting misplaced amid lj notifications and other mail... This account will help to insure that this no longer happens.

Please talk to us in chat, tell us what's going on, ask for answers... but if you have a plot point or major problem, please, please, please follow it up with an e-mail so that things will no longer be misinterpreted, subject to unforseen changes by other admin or lost in the shuffle.

That's administration @ fandomhigh.com


Thank you.

Edit: For clarification purposes:

For [livejournal.com profile] fandomhigh issues, your administrators are [livejournal.com profile] dean_bristow, [livejournal.com profile] jerusalem_s and (to be fully invested in the near future) [livejournal.com profile] t_servo.

For [livejournal.com profile] fandomtownie issues, your administrator is [livejournal.com profile] _red_xiii_.

These four people keep tabs on each other, on current issues and also on on-going plots. Things that happen at the town can affect people at the school and vice-versa so despite our diversity we like to let all four admin know what's going on as a simple courtesy (and to avoid confusion). Thank you again for your patience.
