Hi guys! It's Prince again, and I re-apped Ron DeLite from Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations this time! He'll be staying in TD-33 and will be working as a security guard again. I'm happy to be playing him again and YEAH JUST A NOTICE and let me know if you wanna plot anything with him!

Again, if you ever need to get into contact with me, I'm smaaaaash23 on AIM and [plurk.com profile] smaaaaash on Plurk, so feel free to contact me/add me if you'd like!

Hey guys, some quick mod updates!

GAME STUFF

As you're aware Smashperture Academy is now under LOCKDOWN. GLaDOS has sealed the school off, leaving only a few safe areas such as the dorms. Why, that's not ominous at all, is it? Who will stop this sadistic AI?

Check out the calendar or plotting post to see how this will pan out. When that is resolved, classes in Smash will officially start back up next week, August 20th.


ICON GLITCHES AND ICON MULES

Some of you may have heard on the internets that DW is finally getting around to fixing their "icon glitch". (I actually haven't seen it in action yet BUT I'm expecting the free ride to come to an end very soon. It was nice while it lasted!) So we're taking this moment to remind you that Smash is an icon mule friendly game. If you have extra accounts, please list them here, so we know to accept those community requests.

ALTERNATIVELY, you may find fortune in the [community profile] paids community, or get use out of some creative coding if you can't afford the icons yourself.


SAYONARA, WIKI...

The wiki has continued to give us problems and frustrations (again!), and we've noticed only a few people aside from us who use it regularly these days, and that it can be very confusing to potential new players to have our information spread out all over the place. SO. (Hopefully.) By September we will have everything moved over to Dreamwidth.

What's this mean for you guys? NOT MUCH, TO BE HONEST. All the navigation links in the comm profiles and in [personal profile] mansionstaff will be updated once everything's ready to go, and we'll make another announcement reminding everyone of it.

Until then please continue to refer to the wiki, as we will keep it up to date until we're 100% ready to flip the switch.


POKESLOTS???

Yes, Pokeslots. While we've lifted the thirty Pokemon per Smash Academy cap, we still currently allow only two Pokemon to be played per person. This has recently been a subject of debate and the idea of a game-wide discussion came up regarding this rule.

HOWEVER, we've talked things out among ourselves first and we've decided to lift the Pokeslot rule. No more caps. We feel this is what majority would ultimately vote for, regardless of insightful discussion and regardless of how many ticky boxes we'd put up here. We're also doing this on the trust that this won't be abused. We've had caps on Pokemon characters since the early days of Smash for their stunning and persistent popularity. We don't want to penalize someone for liking a Poketicular particular canon but we also don't want other players to feel uncomfortable for a like of something in excess, or to engage in fad or impulse apps because "everyone's doing it". These caps were put in place to try and help encourage a wider diversity of canons, help maybe expand your pallet town, and make you think very carefully about what characters you'd like to apply with.

We just want you guys to be aware of where the ruling's roots came from, and as such, if we notice a Pokesplosion overnight, we reserve the right to put the cap back on.

But for now ENJOY YOUR POKEMONS.

Still one Legendary Pokemon per person, no more than three of the same kind of Pokemon in Smash at the same time. Sorry guys, those rules aren't going anywhere.
