First things first we will be covering a returning possition at the site. Egon's personal assistant! My previous assistant was inactive and thus a staff vote occured and lets say I'm currently in the market for a new one. So those who previously applied need not apply again I have their applications on file. If they would like to submit a new one however I will use it in place. Applications end in one week and I decide Friday evening.

Now to the writing contest. Yes there is a writing contest going on that no one has made a single submission to. This disapoints me. http://www.therpsite.com/writeone.html please submit your storys I look forward to reading them. And yes you can use this to poke fun at me just do it well.

Now comes a new bit of fun. The RP Site finds itself in need of a logo and are leaving it up to the members to design one. We need a logo 100 by 100 pixels in both black & white and in color. Whats on it is up to you but it would be nice if it had the rp site somewhere and maybe the site motto.

Next topic tackled will be Merch. I want to start producing stuff for the site like shirts and posters to buy advertising but I need to know what you guys want. You name it I'll look into it please just don't leave me high and dry like the last time we tried shirts.

Finally the s4 teaser...

Come back monday ;)

So what happens to current events?

Current Events? Like what exactly?

s3 will remain open until nov 10th

Sidequestion: When will we be able to read through the happenings on the old servers? (Or in case I missed an announcement or something; how?)

....

Since WHEN has Darleen confirmed her going to SakuraCon? She mentioned in to Craer but there has been no confirmation... I might have finals that week :/ I don't know yet.

So don't be mad if I don't show up ^^;

Sign out, hunny.

Oh spoon.
I remember Mew.
Vaguely. D:

Eggo,

Questions about the "story".

Length required? Chapters? Short story?

Due date?

Wolf:
User: archives
pass: password (if not its bacon2)

Darleen:
Sorry forgot craer was an optimist I'll remove ya from that list
As for length... I have no set length but the more effort put in the more likely your piece is to win. As for prizes i'll have to look them up in the old news post

Is there a due date? I don't give a spoon about prizes... I just want to beat the spoon outta Egon.

due date is the start of rping for s4 September 24th

I think Darleen meant the due date for the story, Egon.

Also, I will be at the Con with my little brother, so please keep the humor mild around him. -.-;; He'll be 13, but he's still an immature brat.

Huzzah! I read though Mad and Craer's fight again. That seriously was the best fight I ever had. Period.

THE THINGS YOUR 13 YEAR OLD BROTHER ALREADY KNOWS MAY SHOCK YOU.
CHECK HIS COMPUTER HISTORY FOR ONCE.
