too lazy to switch accounts whoops

As everyone works on wrapping the storm event, it's just about time for the follow-up. What does your character think of the changes on the Grid? Did they lose someone? Did the storm leave any scars, physical or mental? Who has an opinion about the new geography? Have they noticed the new bit of Sea yet? Are the ones who think it's good news still talking to the ones who think it's bad news?

Also, opinions on event frequency? Shaking up the Grid like this once a (realtime) week would be too often. What about once every three to four weeks, with optional mini-memes in between to keep things moving? (While events will affect the entire Grid, in-game memes would be optional individual scenarios you could use to jumpstart CR for your character(s), possibly with different options, like "this week your character might be stuck in an elevator OR writing a really awkward letter OR forming a protest group about something that happened recently; now post so we can tag you plz<3".) There could also be Bakerstreet-style memes in the ooc comm, for fun and games that wouldn't fit in the main comm's continuity. What do you think?


In other news, the Grid-jobs post was supposed to be up today, but I'm still picking at it; hopefully it'll be up tomorrow Friday and then GRID JOB FAIR FOR EVERYONE.

We all love our characters, even if we sometimes take a great deal of glee in dropping small mountains on them. Thus this meme, where they can hugpile and cuddle to their hearts' content.

You are in a vast room that seems somehow familiar to anyone who was around for the slumber party. Things that happen over here won't necessarily disturb what's happening over there, with a couple of semi-screened areas for semi-privacy and all the pillows and blankets and soft (or bouncy) surfaces you could ever want. Refreshments are available - energy drinks, Livian's candy, Roy's popcorn, and whatever else you'd like to dream up. There are even some cuddly toys left over from the slumber party and the octopus is still here.

( Rules! )

Because it's more fun to line everyone up next to each other than to run off a lot of numbers. :D

( How this works )

Have fun! ^^

OMG IT'S A SLUMBER PARTY MEME.


You are in a vast room, vast enough so that what happens over here won't necessarily disturb what's happening over there, with a couple of semi-screened areas for semi-privacy and all the pillows and blankets and soft (or bouncy) sleeping surfaces you could ever want. Refreshments and entertainments provided by your dear friends at End of Line and Alan's popcorn machine. A movie screen or two. Stuffed animals (what is that one with all the tentacles anyway?). Your choice of sleepwear. Whatever else you'd take with you to a slumber party. And you get to share all of this with everyone else on the Grid.

Clearly this will be the best night EVER.

GLOOC?

Good Lord onions overran Chicago?
Good luck on our cake?
Giant lavender ostriches oogle califlower?
Get lots of old conkers?

. . . Naaaaah.

Okay! What we need here are some better suggestions for that acronym.

This is a mini-competition dreamed up by Copper (Drive-mun) and I. Post suggestions here, and after a week or so we'll put up a poll for people to vote on their favourites. If there are lots of suggestions, we'll winnow them down over the course of more than one poll.

Whoever wins will get a drabble from me about whichever of their muses that they choose, and three icons from Copper for whichever of their muses they like - the drabble and icons can be for the same muses or different ones, so if you want icons for one and a drabble for another, no problem!

Well, what are you waiting for? Get to the acronyms!

Edit: Yes, you can post more than one suggestion if you happen to have plenty of good ones.
