So now that I've been properly reminded that 'tis the season for giving (ilu), I thought it high-time to announce

1: We're totally going to have this wicked awesome Christmas event happening in camp. If I stay on schedule, it should be starting next weekend! and 2:


BIZ WANTS TO DRAW YOU TERRIBLE ART FOR CHRISTMAS


Comment here with whatever character you want put under the terrible knife that is MS Paint. One per person, please and thanks, and please be forewarned that there will totally be a lot of uncut penis in the comments of this post. My goal is to have a piece of "art" done for each player (OR AUDIENCE) before the month is through.

Hi guys, the cryfuckuwolf rules have been updated with your suggestions and a carryover policy in compliance with CFUD rules.

Poll #1495326 CFUW rules!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 7

Are they ready to be posted to the userinfo?

Ticky.

Another thing which was brought up is a discussion post, which would likewise be hosted at cryfuckuwolf. Topics of discussion would be: gameplay, gray areas, suggestions for future games, other things go here. I wanted to gauge interest for this, as well as to know when would be a good moment for you all to post it. (Please don't say this weekend.)

[unflattering epithets re: livejournal go here]

End of term panicking and law school applications hahahaha mean no internet fun times for me for the next couple weeks. Assume Domyoji is off in the woods getting a servant zombie to bedazzle him, Emerson is working!1, Benio is in the girls' showers, and Sue is sorting through souls.

Also app Glee. Do it.

If you've been on IRC in the last week or so, you may have noticed my [packing] and [movingish] nicks. That was me being entirely unsubtle about the fact that I was slowly moving out of my current residence at the rate of one box a day. Try it some time, it's kinda hilarious. Anyways.

I decided yesterday that I am using this weekend to properly move out, and next week to repaint/fix/do everything possible to get my damage deposit back. That means I am going on hiatus until the 15th or so.

Ignore the fact that I'm still on the IRC channel. I'm just recording everything that happens for my quote site. :D

Slowing down on account of only having a month left of my work term before I go back to university. Which means making a presentation, doing other paperwork, and stuff stuff stuff. I'll probably be around for a little on the weekends... much like I am now! Ha ha... hah.

♥

EDIT: OH YEAH RIGHT WHO I PLAY this applies to Deneb/Papillon/Franky.

Seeing as mechs are now allowed in Camp, I'm taking it upon myself to pimp out my favorite mecha series, and the mother of all wingfic.

( Old Enough to Be Considered a 'Classic' by Now )

Since my LJLogin just commited suicide, now is an especially good a time to announce that since work is eating me alive I am calling belated hiatus for 17, Suki, Vivian, and Yako. Hopefully I'll be able to make it back before the month is over, but if not, HAVE FUN MISTLETOEING IT UP, GUYS o7

The activity check has given me sufficient impetus to stop putting it off, and his paid time is running out anyway--I take as a bellwether that when I don't want to pay money for a character anymore, it's probably time to let that character go. So! Dropping Xanatos.

My apologies to anyone this inconveniences, especially since I somehow managed to just come back from hiatus and still be flaky with him in less than a week's time, but that's probably something of a sign, too. I heartily encourage somebody, anybody to app him again, and also can't highly recommend Gargoyles as a series enough to everybody.

And thus passes the character I've known and enjoyed longest of all I've played in Camp (and the one with my favorite keyword themes). Ah well. His drop post will go up sometime next week, for those interested--I'm actually gonna be scarce this weekend due to 1) schoolwork and 2) visiting relatives, but so it goes.

That puts me in mind of something, actually--I remember watching the series premiere of Gargoyles the first day it aired way, way back in 1994. So Serious Poll: How long have you known your canons? Long before apping for Camp, or what?

Hey, if we're posting somewhat questionable things in the form of drive-by pimping, you can't expect me not to jump in.

WHY YOU WANT TO WATCH GINTAMA

( ...possibly nsfw. Also animated GIF )

That is all. If you want a real pimping post, look here. I am never going to type anything of that magnitude again.

In a move that will surprise some and leave others sad, I'm dropping Yukimi. I love the guy. I love playing him. I love my castmates. But RL demands that I downsize. When you still want to app new people and when catching up on your canon several new chapters of your dude still can't jumpstart things, you gotta drop some in order not to jeopardize your activity.

There will be a drop post later this weekend, for anyone who wants to see him off! And someone should reapp this dude one of the next counselor rounds cos he is awesome and I'd give you all the icon bases I've made of him and stuff.

Give a little to help a lot!

In honor of National AIDS Awareness month, we've added a new charitable vgift. For each red ribbon you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to support the development and global distribution of an affordable HIV vaccine (we'll cover credit card fees). You can read more about IAVI at lj_cares. While we're on the subject, we raised $740 from our November fundraiser for Love Without Boundaries, which supports emergency healthcare and adoption of Chinese orphans. We thank you for helping us help others.
