Thank you to everyone who replied to our activity check. We will plan on holding these at the end of each month, and in future would prefer that players reply within a week of the post going up. PMs are going out today to the players who did not respond. On a related note, if you know you're going to be absent for more than a few days, please remember to put up a post announcing your hiatus.

The big news for this week is that we have recruited a third moderator! Carrie will now be helping with updates to the game info pages as well as with planning the game plot. We've already bounced some ideas back and forth and come up with some things that we think will be a lot of fun, so watch for updates and event posts within the next few weeks.

To help players struggling with their activity levels jump back into the game, we have a small event that will run from May 6 (the current game date) to May 8 (January 19 in real time). Feel free to tag into that mod post or create a new log to explore how your characters are dealing with the bunnypocalypse. Remember that if you have an idea for an event, you can post a comment to the game calendar. Events can be anything from characters throwing parties to creatures from your character's canon attacking the populace.

Also, please feel free to use this post as a place to discuss things you'd like to do with your characters. Just leave a comment with their name(s) and the kind of interactions you're looking for.

i don't know if this is the place for such a spitballing but i really want Cecil to get a more legit way of commenting/reporting on happenings, one that doesn't involve harassing the TARDIS, who probably has different definitions of what constitutes a crisis. i want that to be a thing, would ROMAC view that as an acceptable or worthwhile undertaking, would they try to exert some kind of control over his reporting or not really care what one mild mannered Riftie does for a hobby, or would they be so uninterested that he'd have to work out a way of doing this himself?

I think ROMAC would be open to starting up a radio show for ~~propaganda~~ helpful information for rifties. He'd probably have to pitch the idea to a couple people before anyone would do anything about it, and they might figure out a way for it to go out only to rifties and ROMAC affiliates, but it could definitely be a thing! Just be warned that when the folks at ROMAC find out about Cecil's power (and Mira can sense powers, so they'll send her by when they start to suspect), they'll pretty much try to use him to mind control the other rifties.

So I should probably say somewhere that while I'm still going ahead with Andrew's pregnancy, I'm putting it on hold for a while. I haven't been on top of making things happen with that, and I don't want to have to backtag the entire mini-plot. To that end, I've decided that when Andrew splits, it pauses the pregnancy. He's still pregnant, but it just stops progressing until he's merged again. That means he's going to stay at a stage where he's two or three weeks pregnant until the mini-Andrew currently in the Master's TARDIS escapes or is rescued and merges with the main Andrew, and then the baby will start growing again.

So yeah. The big thing I have going on is that the mini-Andrew needs an escape and/or rescue.
