Hi guys!

We just wanted to take a second to remind everyone to please be mindful of other characters - not just players, or characters who are currently active in our game, but all characters. We’ve noticed some instances where situations are being created that involve/effect other characters who might not be in-game right now, but might later have repercussions or effects on them later on.

We want this to be a flexible group to join - the last thing we want is for someone to join the group only to be bombarded with pre-established facts and events that have happened in game in the past and feel pressured to conform to a certain set of expectations. It’s in the same ballpark as expecting someone to ship with you when they join just because a relationship is canon.

We understand you have plots and directions in mind and enjoy playing these out, but please be careful of these things as they can effect our group as a whole, and individuals, later on. At this point it’s more of an announcement, but if we see occurrences of this in the future we will have to take action.

Hi everyone,

First, we want to start by saying we appreciate all of you and the support you’ve given us. It’s been a crazy ride these part few months and we’ve had some highs and some lows, but you’ve been wonderful members who have supported us through some big changes, and we could never forget that.

This comes down to time constraints - we’ve both got heavy workloads outside of the group and while we’ve done what we can to give as much attention to the group as we can, we know we can’t give this group the time and care it deserves which isn’t fair to anyone here, considering how much hard work and development we see on the dash.

It’s been a wonderful, wild ride here and we’ll miss running this group, and we wish all of you all the best. We hope you guys can understand why we have to do this - we just don’t feel it’s fair to anyone for us not to give the group all the time and attention it deserves.

event 004: conspiracy in disguise - wrap up

Once the chaos of Times Square died down, EMTs rushing all injured to hospital and the police and agents clearing the area, the President’s announcement was made. Attacks had been launched all around the country - the largest of which was in New York City, resulting in a number of injured.

Former Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross - immediately removed from his position in light of these events - has been named as the man responsible for these unsanctioned attacks. The President’s announcement indicated that Ross had lead an unsanctioned attack, carried out by unnamed Registered Heroes and Vigilantes, to strike fear into the hearts of those who refuse to register. The government do not support this stance nor these actions, and will be putting their best efforts behind law enforcements and all security agencies nationwide to bring Ross and his group of radicals to justice as swiftly as possible.

The President has also expressed his gratitude towards the unregistered heroes who were targeted. He acknowledges their past work and efforts to protect their country and, even though they are now inactive, does not support action against them of this kind.

That’s the end of the event! There will be fallout from this for all kinds, for all heroes and villains alike.

Ross and his new task force are still at large - does your character support their radical approach, or are they against it? Would they consider joining? Maybe your reforming villain joins in an effort to clear their name of their villainy, or just for the sake of adding some chaos into the mix.

The public is growing more and more cautious of the registration acts altogether - they had wanted accountability, but not at the cost of lives, and seeing some of their favourite former heroes gunned down in front of them at the ball had been less than favourable. Public opinion is turning - where does that leave your character?

The Government is tasking all agencies (SHIELD and ARGUS included) with finding and stopping Ross and his task force - where does that leave your character? Are they involved in the hunt? (If you play a law enforcement/security agent of any kind please be mindful of how you carry this out, and check with us before making any major plot directions in regards to trying to catch Ross as it may clash with our own plans for the group!)

And of course - where are the unregistered heroes, now? What happened after the ball - were they hurt, did they go into hiding? Who else is coming out of the woodwork now that this chaos is causing so much panic in the city? What else are they facing!

event 004: conspiracy in disguise - Part II

To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down .

Tensions have been high all evening, registered and unregistered heroes and villains alike are doubting the reality of this Unity ball. Unity has been so far out of reach for so long, it’s hard to believe it could possibly be this easy to work back to it, to bring about a true understanding, real peace.

The U.S. Secretary of State, Thaddeus Ross, has been seen shaking hands and spreading word about the registration all evening, but all of a sudden he’s no where to be found. No one expects the lights to go out, but when they do it’s not a surprise, not to everyone.

It’s only moments before chaos erupts.

Gunshots can be heard everywhere, all around Times Square. Screams, yells, the swish of knives, the sound of blood splattering on the pavement, thundering footsteps as people try and escape. No where is safe - not even the VIP area where a few unregistered heroes have been working away at stale, stuck minds all night.

Everyone was fooled. Some expected disaster, but nothing like this.

People are injured, children are crying, people are yelling. EMTs have been called, SHIELD and ASRGUS agents, Police officers, everyone is trying to clear the area, to stop the attackers but they’re quick - too quick. They’re masked and covered by darkness, and in the chaos it’s easy enough for them to rush around and cause the damage they’ve been brought in for.

The targets aren’t random. A very specific set of people.

The Unregistered Heroes. And not everyone made it out unharmed.

Part II of the event takes place on the evening of the ball, and posting for this plot drop begins on Tuesday the 31st October EST. You can continue any existing pre-drop threads after this date, but please do not start any new ones after this begins.

Where was your character when the attack hit? Where they still at the event, or had they left? Were they targeted, were they injured in the attack? Are they in the heart of it, or were they one of the lucky ones? Are they hearing about it on the news, or do they not find out for a few days?

Posting for the plot drop will begin on the 31st of October to give everyone a bit of time to plan their characters’ whereabouts and reactions, to plot with other members as to who they might be with or who they’ll reach out to following the attack. Try and mix things up, maybe your character is found by someone completely unexpected - use this as an opportunity for some new relationships between characters you might not expect!

If your character was injured please be sure to use the necessary trigger warnings in your new threads, and please keep in mind character deaths are not permitted.

Hi Everyone!

We know it’s been a while since we did an admin post, thanks so much for being patient with us!

We’ve had a lot of changes lately and we’ve done our best to keep everything up to date, but if everyone could please check our Taken Characters, Taken Faceclaims, Accepted Applications, and OOC List For your characters & details that would be a big help!

As we mentioned last week we’re planning a new event that’s coming up soon - we wanted to make sure we could give it and all of you our full attention for the event, so we’re hoping to post something for the event this week to launch next weekend so please keep your eyes peeled!

We’ve also had a recent change to our rules & guidelines - if everyone can please head over to refresh themselves on the rules overall that would be fantastic, but after noticing some things and getting feedback from some members, the new rule is as follows:

Please keep muse posts (photosets, music, gifsets, gifhunts, and anything outside of replies and memes) to a minimum. We understand everyone enjoys seeing these, but to avoid clogging the dash, please do not post more than three (3) muse posts per day.

If you’re unsure if a certain type of post constitutes as a muse post please don’t hesitate to check in with us, we’re happy to advise!

Thanks so much to everyone for your patience and for sticking with us, we’re so happy to have you all here!

As always, please like this post so we know you’ve seen it!

Hi Everyone!

We’re glad to see things are settling down and and activity is still going pretty well - we’ve had a bit of a rough patch and gone through some changes, but it’s great to see so many of you are still here and supporting us, it really manes the world to us that you guys are here!

After a number of changes and shifts in our active members, we would really appreciate it if everyone could please take a look at the Taken Characters, Faceclaims, and Accepted Applications pages to make sure we haven’t missed anything and it is all up to date!

You may have noticed we’ve been a little quite over the past week or so - Admin Meeko has been on hiatus as she’s got her midterms right now, and I (Admin Tiana) started back at work yesterday after a week off, which is why the main has been a little quiet. We should be back to normal soon!

We’ve noticed a few mishaps when it comes to some of the guidelines and please ask that everyone take another look at our Rules & Guidelines to refresh your memories.

As much as we hate to say it, we’ve noticed some policing (for lack of a better word) of our members that is being done anonymously. As much as we appreciate that we can’t be here all the time and we will sometimes miss things, we would prefer for you guys to reach out to the main via IM and let us know if you see anything strange that should be addressed by an admin so we can talk to the member in question. We don’t want an environment of animosity or negativity here, not do we want anyone to feel as though they’re being targeted for any reason.

Lastly, and certainly the most exciting part of this post, we’re planning a new event soon! As soon as Admin Meeko has gotten through her midterms we’re going to be plotting out something great for you guys to lead on from the invasion plot, and we’re really excited to bring it to you all so please keep your eyes peeled for posts and announcements!

Please like this post so we know you’ve seen it and as always if you have any questions please let us know!

Hi Everyone,

We wanted to begin by saying how grateful we all are for how patient you’ve been with this change. We know everything came about really suddenly, and we know it’s hard if you feel like the future of the group is uncertain so we really appreciate that you’ve held out for us to restructure and decide how best we’re going to move forward.

As most of the members know, Admin Moana has had to leave the group and we are devastated to see her go. She worked hard to make this group welcoming for every new member who came along and was loved by so many, and while we understand and support her in what she needs to do, we know she will be sorely missed.

We also want to take this opportunity to assure everyone that the group will not be closing. We completely understand if what has happened has made anyone feel uncomfortable and wish to leave as a result - please come and let us know, we will not be angry or judge you for doing so. We want this to be a safe and happy place for all the members to enjoy themselves, and if you don’t feel that here anymore we completely understand and would never expect you to force yourself to stay.

For anyone who does want to stay - thank you so much for choosing to be here with us and for supporting us, and we will do absolutely everything we can to make sure this stays a positive, fun environment for you all. We love you all dearly and love having you here, and we hope you still love being here.

If anyone wants to talk about what happened in private, our IMs are always open and anything you come to us with will always be kept confidential and absolutely will not judge anything you want to say, but please do keep in mind we will not be publicly posting anything further about this situation, nor will we let any negativity/hate about this situation sit in the ooc blog. Please come to us privately so we can talk through this and help you.

We are also holding off on activity checks until Sunday October 1st to allow you all the time and space to decide what you want to do moving forward.

Thanks so much everyone <3
