BODY HORROR EVENT
Jun. 18th, 2013 06:29 pmrivalkidneypunchDear Smashies: your friendly neighbourhood Snap here to let you know about a fun little event that's in the works:
Transformation Week
aka
Body Horror: The Event
aka
Stop Doing Mating Dances And Marking Your Territory WE JUST SHAMPOOED THAT RUG
aka
everyone turning into animal chimera abominations for fun and profit (fun and profit not included)
Here's what's going down: in the near future, Lyra will be announcing a charity bake sale as a sort of goodwill gesture between humans and nonhumans. What she doesn't know, however, is that Bowser is going to be slipping some Magikoopa dandruff or something into the flour. (Eeeewww.) Anyone who consumes these tainted baked goods or accidentally inhales too much flour during the baking process or whatever will find themselves slowly transforming into something that's very much not their species at all. What they turn into and how quickly they turn into it is entirely up to you, of course, and participation is super optional. If you want full-on body horror with a slow mutation from man to Weedle, go for it. If that squicks the heck out of you, feel free to play a less ick version.
Want your human to start sprouting feathers while their arm bones painfully rearrange themselves into wings? Go for it! Want your Jigglypuff to gradually grow four rows of teeth as they begin to morph into a shark-lanturnfish-lamprey? Sure, why not? Want to have fun with primal instincts, territoriality, and a thirst for prey taking over? Run wild. Want your grumpy big bad to deal with the realization they are turning into a fluffy baby duckling? YES.
Officially, the event will be starting on June 28 and running for roughly a week, but Jeff and our best buddy Eggman might have a thing or two up their sleeve, so there's also the possibility that things could last even longer if you want to drag out the transformation process.
In the meantime, feel free to use this post for questions and general plotting purposes. If you're having trouble deciding what you'd like your character to be morphing into, there are plenty of real world/mythological creatures out there, as well as lots of Smash canons to use!

mansionstaffGREETINGS, SMASHERS
FIRST OFF a brief change to the rules!
We've had some questions recently about apping from internet games. After some debate, we've decided that yes, characters from internet games will be allowed on a case-by-case basis. Mods reserve the right to reject apps based on the amount of information available, and "characters" from truly content-less games (i.e. Angry Birds, Robot Unicorn Attack) will not be accepted. The new rules are on our acceptable series page if you'd like to take a look.
SECONDLY
As some of you might know, we're quickly coming up on SPRIIING BREAK (March 25th - March 29th) and we think it's high time for a SCHOOL TRIP. We've had school vacations to a variety of locales, but we think it's time to revisit an old favorite: THE HOT SPRINGS.
After the fateful Hot Springs of Youth Fiasco of '08, the Headmasters have decided that maybe they should choose a different resort. It has all the amenities, of course, and students will be put up for the entirety of the break should they choose to attend this shenanigans-free weekend.
(Spoiler alert the springs are still cursed.)
We've had a lot of suggestions for GENDERBEND 2.0, so that's what we're planning on! The resort's main springs are completely normal, but down a beaten path is a secluded spring that will curse you for about a week. The trip will ICly run from March 25th - March 29th, with a log going up the weekend of the 23rd. Being cursed is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. Additionally, students do not have to go on the trip--campus will remain open through break.
Feel free to use this post for all your plotting needs, and as always, please contact a mod if you have any questions of concerns!

DRUG PLOT ROUND-UP POST (THE SECOND)
Mar. 7th, 2013 05:36 pmstay_classy_cat
BIG APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAY but here we go: a summary of what's happened so far and FUTURE PLANNING below...
( picture yourself in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies )
If you're interested in having your character get involved with anything, by all means PLEASE DO. This has been on-going and slow-burning and you are never too late. The links I outlined above should be comprehensive enough, and if not I'll gladly answer any questions and throw some ideas out in the plotting threads.
Also if you have NO INTEREST in this plot, that is A-OKAY! I've done my best to construct it in a manner that provides a lot of hooks and motivations while keeping most of it contained off campus and all this is still easily avoidable and ignorable if it is not your shitck. So don't feel like you have to be involved or give it recognition. JUST KEEP DOIN' YOUR THING, MAN.

mansionstaffFirst and foremost apologies for the delay, we figured it would be more courteous to wait until the DW downtime was over and everyone was awake again before posting mod announcements.
And a HAPPY NEW YEARS to all you wonderful Smashies. Can you believe it's been just about a year since we moved over to Dreamwidth? We've been very pleased with the move, and we hope you have been too. Here's to the start of another great year.
• THAT'S IT, PRETTY MUCH. Go post to the pop-up HMD.
TIME FOR A BLACKOUT. It'll be just a little mini-event but starting this Friday, January 18th, there will be a series of unfortunate and extenuating circumstances that will bring the downfall of technology to Smash Academy, and everyone will be snowed in for the weekend, as seen on the updated calendar. More details will be given once the actual log goes up but for now here's the skinny:
• January 18th-20th the school will be WITHOUT POWER. That means no electricity, no heaters, no hot water, no TV, no gadgets, no gizmos, no network. The school's backup generators will work for only about an hour before mysteriously failing. The power will eventually be restored (and generators fixed) through FDC Power & Light.
• That won't happen until Monday morning however, as Mother Natureaka a wild and disgruntled Castform andor Articuno has decided it hasn't snowed nearly enough this season. Throughout the week the weather will be white and blustery until there's a full-fledged blizzard bearing down on the Academy by the weekend. Nobody in their right mind will be out and about in that weather until it passes.
You'll be snowed in and without power for a few days, Smash Academy. Better keep warm.

GAME STUFF
• We're doing a pop-up HMD now! Use this one, not the old one from now on (or until otherwise noted). Links in the game navigation have subsequently been updated, and in other places as well. If you find an out-of-date link, please let us know.• THAT'S IT, PRETTY MUCH. Go post to the pop-up HMD.
