I was under the impression you couldn't lock

fandomhighdorms posts. I know a lot of people were doing it during camp since instead of big open dorm common rooms we had small isolated cabin common rooms, but has policy completely changed? Inquiring minds want to know. :) [Most assuredly am not pointing the finger at anyone -- I just want to know if there has been a change I was unaware of or if I was interpreting things wrong!]

is there a bank on the island?

Last term, I basically threw together a town field trip with Sara's students to the body farm.

Are there any procedures I need to do this time around? It isn't a plot per se and no extra characters are needed or anything like that. It's just a way for each class of biology, chemistry, and forensics to see practical application of the concepts they are learning.

hey all. is there a way to use tags in the townie community? it would be insanely helpful if i could find my own store entries after the fact.... i am not sure if it is that the community needs to sanction a tag or something... anyone?

Are they happening? Or are we ignoring them?

/very random thought from the brain of Alanna!mun.

is there an NPC library? or a pc one for that matter that i am missing? the students have one, but the poor poor townies can't get trashy romance novels! esp with the bookstore closing :)

Where is the Firing Range supposed to be on campus? Only Pip's supposed to meet someone there today and I just realized I has no idea where it is.

does anyone have a link to the schedule of classes? Math just got changed and I'm wondering if that'll give me the out needed to take Tactics of War. mwahahaha

So... link to the latest schedule? Possibly the schedule in nifty table format? *looks at Kawalsky*

I've noticed that the second section for Sara's Biology class has only one student. Would it be all right to close that section?

I understand everything in public is fair game in so far as it is seen to happen. But how do we denote that a conversation isn't heard.

For example, I need to do a scene on the beach. It's fine if it's reported she was there. It's fine if they say she was seen doing this or that. But if I were to say "The breaking of the waves was loud enough you couldn't hear what she was saying unless you were standing right next to her," keep the conversation itself from being reported?

Thanks in advance!

Will there be some sort of Activities Fair or Bulletin in the upcoming week or so to let students know what clubs and organizations there are for them to join? Useful not only for new students, but also for the old to see which clubs still exist - some of them went defunct last semester from inactivity.

walter-n-wires.livejournal.com

Pip raised a good question about the wires and the school weapons rule. They are most assuredly a weapon, but they are also a pretty integral part of Walter's character. So far, he has used them around the school and once in town, always for minor bits of teenage showoffery (and cheating against himself at bowling.) He will never use them against another student, and even in the instance of something like the Angel/us incident I heard about, he won't use them to cause lasting damage.

Sooo... question one is does he have to turn them in? He likely won't do it voluntarily, which will mean some IC consequences for being a disobedient pain in the ass.

Question two is about practice. He needs someplace like the Danger Room to really be able to let go, otherwise, he's going to be cutting something up that probably shouldn't get cut up. How's the best way to handle that?

If you're not sure what the wires do, you can click here for a somewhat bloody animated gif that demonstrates a small sample of what they can do. Canonically, he can reduce a squad of soldiers into flying bits in a matter of moments. His level of control is high enough to do something like this though. (Wondering what's happening there? He's using the wires to open the guy's jacket and pluck out his pack of cigarettes.)

Since we're starting the new semester tomorrow, are we generally sticking with last semester's schedule for who opens study hall? Admins, do you have a plan? Jenny ran it on Wednesdays last term, and I'm willing to continue that this term. My only change of plan would be to put OCD comment threads into place for each period so that we basically know when things take place during the day.

Just wondering, not intending to step on any toes, and yeah, I'm obsessive that way.

Thank you, guys!

ETA: Hadn't remembered Study Hall was out and lunch was in. Thank you!

Let's just say two mischievous Freshmen hear "watch out for Locker 327" and think to themselves, "Well heck, I gotta check that out!".

How would they go about making something happen?... Nothing huge mind you, just a pirate and a butler out for some first day of school wacky hijinks...

Shep and Pip need to go over to the target range/weapons lock up... can anyone open that, or do we need a faculty member or someone to do that?

Could someone point me in the direct of the form we have to fill out for our characters? It was posted when I was overthreaded and I have no clue where it is, I just looked in the ooc comm and didn't see it *is probably just blind!*

Thank you in advance

kikidelivers.livejournal.com

Out of curiosity, has the list of courses being offered next semester been cemented yet? Any chance of a sort of course catalog post coming out that just lists what the classes are for now, with class registration posts coming when school actually begins?

serra-inara.livejournal.com

This is what's called 'Having No Clue'. It's a common state for me.

I know that a number of people are leaving FH for ~~greener pastures~~

fandom_tropolis, I just don't know who is.

Do we yet have a list of departing characters? Townies and students?

wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com

Can someone please repost or point me to the big list of characters that share a mun? know Anakin posted one for Kiki a while back, but stupid me forgot to flag it and now I can't find it.

And I'm exactly the kind of dork who would do something like this:

I know Han and Deb share a mun. If Deb were the person Shep were the secret santa for (which can't be, since Deb's a townie, hence the use of her as an example) I'd be exactly the kind of dork who would go, "Hey Han, can you deliver this to Deb for me because I'm her secret santa." Which would of course, totally spoil the game for Deb's mun.

cabal-boone.livejournal.com

If one of you could kindly start a museum post, I'd appreciate it. The hours say it's open today, but there's no post.

For future reference: How are we supposed to handle situations like this? The Perk and Lukes have said players can mod it being open, but other businesses prefer that only staff open - so what do we characters do when it's supposed to be open but staff hasn't done it yet? Can we mod being there in our own journals, provided we don't do anything like burn it down, or is the business just inexplicably closed IG?

Thanks.

Is the curfew now lifted, or do I need to cut the Festival at 10pm?

wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com

This may be early, but can any of the admins give us a read on how Thanksgiving weekend will be played in Fandom? I totally get that not all players are from the US and that a tons of the characters aren't, so if things are continuing as normal, that's totally cool... I just want to know.

Will there be classes on Thursday and Friday? Will there be any Thanksgiving-type activities?

I'm going to be in Nashville (and we're driving from Chicago, OMG 10 hours in the car!) and I have no idea what my internet connectivity is going to be. I'm hoping I can get on in the hotel, and I'm fairly sure I'll be able to get at least a few minutes on while I'm at my brother's, but if I can do some preemptive things like go to Ethics on Monday, that'll help me keep from having the kind of issues I had the last time I went away. On the flip side, if I have the kind of access I'm hoping for, I'll probably want to play, 'cause there's not much else to do in a hotel room. :)

Is there going to be school tomorrow? It is Veterans' Day in the States, right? Remembrance Day is a civic holiday for me, so I was wondering if it is in Fandom. Just a thought. *pins poppy on Ivanova's chest*

I'd like some clarification on just what parts of the school are under surveillance. As I understood it, the classrooms, hallways, and common areas are all wired, but individual dorm rooms are not. Is this correct? And is the Ethics classroom bug-free, as specified by Tara?

Current Mood: calm

maias-notebook.livejournal.com

Ok so now we've had the OOC post from Kitty and the comments involved one of which said that by Dec. 1 the case would be resolved etc.. Does that mean the curfew is in effect until then for the student and the town because that is just not cool if it is.

Current Mood: annoyed

padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com

For one of Padme's classes, there's going to be a guest speaker. I'm wondering if there's any sort of objection to me using a semi-defunct character journal to act as the speaker? It would make the comments/ replies a bit easier to keep straight.

studentwillow.livejournal.com

I've been completely unable to get online to play Willow during the last 10 days and wanted to check in with folks about sharing characters/journals. Is this done? Or should I just completely turn over my character for adoption and maybe try for a townie or other low-impact character? I feel like I'm not giving Willow the time and effort she deserves.

OMG IDEA! Could we make it a four day Parent's Weekend, tacking Friday and Monday on, so the parents can have lots more time for snark and parental angst and general SILLYNESS?! (Also because some of us will be MIA this weekend in particular, it would be able to prolong the playtime!!!)

AAAAAAAAAAAND, we need to know where to sign up all our parent lj names and ... do they get to join

fandomhigh or OR OR OR (I'm excited, hang me!) OR OR OR we could have something like fandomparents and then the parent snark could ALWAYS BE THERE (you know how high schools and colleges these days have newsletters for parents and even messageboards and crazy things like that.)

Just some thoughts. :)

ETA: Okay, as people are completely freaking out: I guess my point comes down to this: Where in this massive text-based RPG with moderated comms are the parents going to play this weekend? Thank you.

prof-cregg.livejournal.com

For all the people playing parents, how are we handling this? Do they need to be admitted to the comm? Do we have a directory of parent journals yet? Just curious...as I'm playing one.

kikidelivers.livejournal.com

When will parent's weekend "officially" begin? Friday?

Kiki's mun will be away for Saturday and Sunday (couple of Halloween parties of my own), but there are a few things I'd like to do with Kiki and her folks before I'm offline for the weekend :(

alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com

Hey everyone. I have a couple of questions:

1) If we want to make a post about visiting the shooting range, is that to be posted in FH community or in the dorms? Or in town? And where IS the shooting range, physically on a map?

2) If your character has a long-distance or range magical/other fighting ability or weapon that they want to practice, where, locationally, should that happen? This is assuming it's not swords (which can be practiced in a smaller, private area) or guns (shooting range). Say I want to have my character Mustang practice controlling fire. This would require a large area of space for safety reasons. It falls under the no-weapons policy to be practicing on campus, but I wasn't sure if it should be posted in The Town, either, since there's all these new rules for interacting/posting in Town.

Can there be a place where students can practice dangerous weapons/maneuvers that aren't guns? Would this be a new place, or would we just say it's an extention of the shooting range, like a different fenced off area?

immortalamanda.livejournal.com

Is there an updated list to paste into the admin console?

fates_jaye

Just checking before my character does anything stupid and screws over her reason for doing said stupid thing:

Will detention be run over Parents' Weekend? And if so, will it be possible to get a by on it until the next week if you have someone coming?

kikidelivers.livejournal.com

I know that parent/guardian/whatever weapons will be confiscated for Parents' Weekend, but has there been a word on wands?

~~Because Kiki's mom has far too much restraint to start duking it out with Narcissa Malfoy, of course.~~

leeadama.livejournal.com

Do we have plans for how Parent's Weekend is going to go? Agendas, parties, meetings, etc?

I ask this as I'm getting a surprise parent's weekend of my own and will have limited availablity during KEY TIMES (like most of Saturday, Friday afternoon and evening, etc) and I'm playing

narcisssa Malfoy (who loves her ferret-y son (and if you've not seen this sneak peak scene, go now! OMG TEH SLASH))) and theoretically playing Kyle Reese (but is John going to be absent that weekend anyway?) and I hear that DADDY ADAMA IS COMING TO TERRORIZE HIS SON and flirt with KARA THRACE (omg, The Adama Boys/Kara otp).

OMG PARENT'S WEEKEND. BRING ON THE ANGST.

alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com

Has there been a date set for the next student enrollment?

marsheadtilt.livejournal.com

So, just out of curiousity, are we supposed to make journals for any parental figures we want to have visit that weekend?

And, if so, are you going to add them to the comms or just take off the non-friends screening of comments for the weekend?

geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com

I know there've been some changes to the cast list while I was away. Can someone please point me to an updated character list, and also the most up-to-date schedule of Fandom High classes being offered? Pretty please?

studentwillow.livejournal.com

But what do we do if our teachers/classes have been eaten by the Tentacle Monster? Is it acceptable to simply show up to a new class? I see that some new classes appear to have started. Is Death still the Guidance Counselor? My character was involved in a little cross-dimensional travel that has yet to be fully explained, lost some days, and got a bit behind on her studies. I know her English class is no more, and I'm not so sure about Computer Science.

Okay, I know a lot of people have been making plans for Parent's Weekend, but I've looked on the Calender and it's not there, and can't remember seeing it in any recent posts, so I thought I'd ask.

Has a date been set for Parent's Weekend?

If not, do we have an approximation?
