Sun, 10 Aug 2008 23:33:38 GMT

Seigaku
St. Rudoplh
Rikkai
Fudoumine
Midoriyama
Rokkaku

They were split into the following groups of three, each team facing both other teams in their group, and the team winning both their games was the finalist for that group.

First Round (August 2nd)

Fudoumine/Seigaku/Hyoutei
Fudoumine vs Hyoutei - winner: Fudoumine

Final Round (August 3rd)

Seigaku vs Rokkaku - winner: Rokkaku
Rokkaku vs St. Rudolph - winner: St. Rudolph

Since no team in the Finals won both of their matches, all three teams are declared winners, with prizes for all teams participating. Prizes themselves are left to the imagination of Atobe-mun, since it's her character giving them out. ^^

Don't forget about the masquerade afterwards!

New Rule Revision - Underage muns and post/log ratings

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:07:25 GMT

Thank you to everyone who provided input pertaining to the new rule concerning "adult material" in the RPG. The mods have decided to revise the rules based on your input.

We will now be flagging all posts rated R or NC-17. Logs and posts by underage muns, which are above PG-13 in rating and were allowed by the LJ system because they were not flagged as "adult" or "explicit", will result in a warning. The player will be told to either delete or privatize the journal post, as appropriate, and the log will be rejected/deleted by a mod. Failure to comply regarding the journal post within a set time limit (say, 24 hours) may result in being dropped from the game. For the logs, a three-strike system will be utilized, wherein the players will be warned twice about inappropriate logs, and will be banned from the RP on the third offense. Any mun ABOVE the age of 18 who places "mature content" in their logs or posts must flag the post at the appropriate maturity level.

Retroactively, all logs previously posted in the log comm and in personal journals must be flagged appropriately if the rating is above PG-13, placed under an lj-cut if the rating is PG-13, and deleted if any of the muns involved were under 18 and the rating is above PG-13. Players who posted any logs containing such content, please go back and cut/flag/delete the entry as appropriate ASAP.

To keep with the movie rating system we've been using, this is how it will work from now on:
G/PG-> Nothing necessary
PG-13-> Placed under al lj-cut which states that the material under the cut is PG-13 in nature
R-> Flagged as "Adult Concepts", no one under 14 allowed to create or view
NC-17-> Flagged as "Explicit Adult Concepts", no one under 18 allowed to create or view

For those (like me) who have no idea what flagging is/entails, or who are not clear on the restriction levels, please take a look here. (Thanks to Rin/Gakuto-mun for the link and the explanation.) Basically, there's an option when you create/edit posts to restrict access to that post based on age. For this to work, I need all players to do the following:

-Go to the "Edit Profile" page.
-Under "Birthday", place your character's birth month and day, but YOUR birth year.
-At "Birthday display options" choose "Display only the month and day", to keep your character's birthdate from reflecting your age rather than his/hers.

If you're not sure what a log/post would rate, ask a mod. (Please provide a link as well, so we don't have to dig for the one you mean.) A mod's decision on whether or not a post should be flagged/otherwise handled is final.

Again, thank you all for your input regarding this matter.

New Rules - Underage muns and post/log ratings

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 14:34:04 GMT

As an official change to the rules, logs done by muns who are under the age of 18 are not allowed to be above PG-13 in nature, or they will be rejected/deleted from the log comm. Posts in character journals by underage muns, which are above said rating, will result in a warning and the player will be told to either delete or privatize the post. Failure to do so may result in being dropped from the game. As well, any mun ABOVE the age of 18 who places such "mature content" in their logs or posts must friends-lock the post and label it accordingly, to make it clear that minors are not to access it.

Retroactively, all logs previously posted in the log comm and in personal journals must be friends-locked if the rating is PG-13 or above, and privatized or deleted if any of the muns involved were under 18 and the rating is above PG-13. Players who posted any logs containing such content, please go back and friends-lock/privatize/delete the entry, as mods can only delete them in certain cases and we have no desire to do so. (Momo-mun, most of the MomoKam logs you have labeled as PG-13 are tame enough to be labeled PG, so they only need to be edited to change that so no one thinks yours slipped through. If you don't know which ones, check what rating I tagged them as. ^^) If you have posted any logs/posts which fall under this, please deal with them ASAP. I know I'll be busy today. -_-;;

Basically, it goes something like this:

G, PG -> no restrictions
PG-13 -> locked no matter what
R, NC-17 -> locked/labeled if all muns involved are 18+, private/deleted if any mun is underage

If you're not sure what a log/post would rate, ask a mod. (Please provide a link as well, so we don't have to dig for the one you mean.) A mod's decision on whether or not a post should be locked/otherwise handled is final.

No, I don't like putting such restrictions on a game that's supposed to be very laid back, but this is necessary to avoid being assraped investigated by LJ Abuse and possibly having the comms and attached journals deleted. We've been lax so far about this, but there are certain hoops we all have to jump through for the privilege *gag* of being on LJ. To avoid stirring up the witch hunt again, this kind of precaution is necessary.

And I'm sure I'm confusing everyone with this, so if you don't understand, please ask me to clarify. I had about 3 hours of sleep last night due to a tension headache, so I'm probably not as coherent as I think I am. Or something.

ETA: Since some of you seemed confused on this, even though an announcement was made, let me clarify. Your mods are Akaya/Yuuta-mun, Echizen/Momo-mun, and Inui-mun. You can contact us either through one of our character journals or this all-purpose handy-dandy mod account for any questions/problems you may have.

For those of you watching this post, please refer to the new post concerning this issue.

RPG Update

Mon, 26 May 2008 15:32:32 GMT

Points of the RP that we've ironed out so far.

1. Graduation - Was delayed for the new players, but now it's running into the new Tournament season. Graduation for all schools will happen the second week of June. The partial school calendar under the cut will have the exact days for each school. Next year it will happen at the appropriate time: right before the spring vacation (beginning of March). We'll just pretend it didn't get pushed back this time.

2. Tournament - On the heels of graduation, the Kantou Tournament semi-finals will start the week after. Once this and summer vacation are settled, we should be back on track with the basic Japanese school calendar we had originally intended to follow.

3. School Calendar - we'd made one up but there's a couple things we're still working on.
a) It was for the last year, so we'll revise it soon to reflect the new school year.
b) Higa's not included yet. Injustice!
c) We're not on track with it now, so summer vacation will be limited to two weeks to allow for the tournament and such. The new third years won't retire immediately after this coming tournament, either. They'll have until the beginning of November to be buchous. After that, we'll follow the schedule as it was meant, with an enforcing of the breaks/holidays, and the third years retiring from the teams after Finals.

4. School Levels - Not vital, but people were asking about elevator schools, and which ones didn't have high schools. This should clear up the confusion. On an added note, St. Rudolph has a new high school division that the original mods added. All players, especially SeiRuers, should be aware of this.

5. Purges - Have been delayed until July 1st. The new posting requirements (still undecided, please see the poll under the cut) will go into effect then as well.

6. Communities - the communities pot_ljdaily and pot_ljlog are now up and running, please make sure you've friended the comms as well as watching them. The daily comm will contain condensed updates and post topic offerings for those unsure what to post about. The log comm is now the place to put all logs of any type, though the posts will be moderated to clean up any problems with labelling and to properly tag them.

Seigaku:
Graduation: June 8th
Summer Break: August 17th - August 28th

Meet the new boss!

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:23:03 GMT

Forgive me in advance for any rambling tangents or hard-to-follow stream of consciousness writing. I never know what to say in official announcements. This is Yuuta/Akaya-mun, one of your lovely new mods! *poses, complete with sparkles* As Atsushi-mun was the only working mod for a while, and she needs a break to study, we'll be taking over ~~and dominating you ALL!~~. My two lovely assistants, who have been generous enough to offer themselves ~~on my altar of POWER~~ are Inui-mun and Echizen/Momo-mun. We need to confer more on things like delegation of responsibilities, as well as the direction of the RPG, but I wanted to let everyone know of the changing of the guard for two reasons.

1. I don't know about y'all, but I like a high level of transparency in my ~~dictators~~ mods. Not all modly business needs to be deciminated to the masses, but something like "Oh, hey, WE'RE the ones in control now" is nice to know ASAP.

2. To let everyone know that Things Will Be Happening in the RP now. Inui-mun and Echizen/Momo-mun, as you can probably tell already, are brimming with ideas to get interaction back up to the level it was when the restart first occurred. (Hopefully. I'm really hoping the RPers who drifted away will come back once a definite direction has been set for the RP.)

Just off the top of my head, things we're planning to do (our version of The First 100 Days):

1. Get pot_ljdaily up and running again, with daily updates on entries, characters added/dropped, and hiatuses.
2. Get pot_ljlog fixed up and running. All logs in the future will be placed there rather than in personal journals, to help keep OOC and IC stuffs separated.
3. Organize the profiles of all the comms to link to important information: rules, character lists, hiatus lists, contact information (will remain locked), etc.
4. Streamline rules as necessary for easier gameplay. This RP will remain a very laid back one, don't worry about that. The mods will simply be taking their jobs seriously so that the players can relax and enjoy. ^_^
5. Attempt to pull as many players as possible back to the RP before the purge on the first of the month.

**IMPORTANT: To those following the communities but not necessarily posting, please either make a short post to qualify you for remaining, or place your character(s) on hiatus/semi-hiatus to keep them from being purged. If you are dropped from the game, you will need to reapply for that character, and the mods cannot guarantee you will get that character again. If someone else has already applied for him/her, they will be considered before you.

Also: The questions being raised about graduation for third years will be resolved within the next few days. There will be another announcement when a decision has been reached on the matter. :D

♥,
Your New Mods

OOC Problem

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:22:12 GMT

The OOC Community problem has been resolved! Thank you for being so patient with us.

For all who haven't, please go here to post your contact information.

Since we can use the OOC Community now, I don't think a forum is necessary. Thank you for offering anyway, Renji-mun! That was really kind of you.

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 15:45:13 GMT

We have decided not to go along with the school break thing. Thus, 3rd-years have not graduated and will not graduate for some time.

This is really sudden, but it wouldn't be fair to the new players if their 3rd-year characters graduate without giving them a chance to play them as members of their junior high.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused here.

Also, anybody who wants to make an entry in the OOC community but cannot can simply write it here and I will post it up there for you.

Rules

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:25:11 GMT

GAME RULES:

01. No godmodding

02. If you’re planning a plot for your character that seriously limits the way other characters in the RP act/move/exist/etc., you need to clear it with those other players first

03. Don't develop personal RL vendettas against other players. What happens IC stays IC. DO NOT bring OOC drama into the game. This is grounds for being banned.

04. If there is a certain pairing you wish for, the other character's role player MUST agree. Het and Yaoi are both allowed.

05. Use your common sense in-game, but when in doubt, contact us (pot_lj@yahoo.com).

06. The object of the game is to have fun. If you're not having fun, or if you don't have time to play, don't feel obligated to stay. Drop out at any time, or go on a hiatus if you need to.

07. You can tell a character that they're banned from your characters journal, but don’t really ban the character, because that will prevent their player from contacting you in your lj should they be unable to contact you through im or email.

08. All players must make a minimum of one post per character per calendar month to remain in the game. Unless they are on a hiatus, then they don’t have to post until they’re back.

09.You can apply for more then one character, but preference will be given to people who are applying for their first character. Players must wait one month before applying for their second character, and another month for their third character. There will be a limit of three characters per player.

10. You MUST include a main, non-RP-related journal in your application. It has to be one that you actually use, even if you haven't posted in it recently, and it must be more than 2 weeks old. This is so the mods have alternate ways of contacting players aside from email and character journals, as well as screening against possible trolls.

BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT GAME PLAY:

1. Every character uses a Livejournal. It is a real Livejournal and functions exactly like a Livejournal in the real world.

2. RP Logs and IM Logs can be written in chat or in the comments of a designated post in pot_ljlog. The posts need to be formatted properly, and flagged in accordance with the rules on mature content found here. We do not limit the method of logging.

3. Picture and/or video spam must be placed behind a cut. Place large pics (anything more than 400px wide and/or 300px tall), two or more pics, and all videos, under a cut. Also, the spam MUST be accompanied by content of some sort. A post that is nothing but pic/vid spam will not count toward the posting requirements, and more than one such post from a player will result in a warning from the mods.

4. We will try to be as casual as possible here, so anytime an issue seems like a Big Deal, remember that the other people involved are probably too lazy to have consciously thought about any of it. Being willing to adapt ideas and to keep plotting open-ended is an asset.

5. Get to know other players. If there's a player who’s RPing you enjoy, contact them. Someone has to take the initiative, and communication between players has so many benefits. Don't be afraid to say hello, even if your characters have never interacted before.

6. On a similar note, it's important to tell someone if there's something that you'd prefer they not do, and not everyone speaks passive aggressive. State your concern clearly. Be polite, and remember that this is not a Big Deal or Serious Business. No one should be uptight, and flexibility is what being in an RPG is all about. If talking to the other person doesn't work or you're too uncomfortable to talk to them, then contact a mod.

7. : If you want to 'lock' your entries to a specific person but still readable to all players (recommended over actual friendslocking), copy and paste '<"img src=http://stat.livejournal.com/img/icon_protected.gif">' into the first line of the post(without "_").

: If you want to make your posts 'private' but still readable to all players, copy and paste '<"img src=http://stat.livejournal.com/img/icon_private.gif"> into the first line of the post(without "_").

8.To enhance gameplay, we have an NPC system. Basically, characters that have not been picked up can be NPC'd by players currently in the game. However, once someone picks up that character as a Playing Character, the NPC will be disposed off. NPCs who wish to pick up the character for real need not send in an application, and can just inform a mod to be added into the game.

Original Characters have to be approved by a mod first in order to be accepted as an NPC. An OC is any character that already belongs to the Tenipuri universe, but was only mentioned passingly. Family members, team members that did not get lines in the anime/manga, or other such characters. They must have a verifiable basis in the anime/manga to be allowed into the game. They cannot be made up. In order for a character to be considered playable, and not an NPC, they must actually appear in the anime/manga, even if it's only for one panel/screenshot. Otherwise they can only be NPCed.

The NPC registry is here.

RULES ABOUT HIATUS:

1. If you find yourself overwhelmed by real life or you just don't have the kind of time you used to and know that it will be a temporary thing, you can take a hiatus. It's pretty simple, just go here and make a comment.

2. Due to extremely long hiatuses resulting in unusable characters, hiatuses are now limited. A hiatus will be in effect for two months, and must be renewed at the end of the two month period. The player can go on hiatus up to three full times, or for six months total, in a year. Anyone who goes on hiatus longer/more often than that will be asked to give up their character so that a more active player can have them. We believe it is unfair to otherwise keep a character out of commision for so long, such that other characters cannot interact with the character(s) on hiatus. Anyone failing to return and re-hiatus their character after the two-month mark will be emailed a warning, and their character purged if they do not respond within two weeks. There may be exceptions to this, but those will be rare and will be determined by the mods on a case-by-case basis.

3. Semi-hiatus and Hiatus are different things. A semi-hiatus contains the connotation that you will be around somewhat and will still be posting when you have the time. If you go on semi-hiatus you are still expected to try your best and meet the posting requirements.

4. If a character is played while on hiatus, we will assume your hiatus is over and you are now on a semi-hiatus or fully returned.

Pot_lj is restarting and what I mean by that is it will be cleaned up, so please comment here and tell me your keeping your character. If you do bot post I will take you off as a member. This will be happening until further notice. So feel free to keep posting to your lj's though.

If you have any questions please ask them in this post. Also if you have any ideas tell me and I'll talk with the other mod about it. By the way I'm a new mod. ^_^

Edit1: If you are dropping a character please remove the other lj's as your friend so no one gets confused.. ^^

Edit2: There will be a time limit. Characters will have until the end of this month...(just incase they are having trouble with the internet...I know how it feels. *kicks internet* Damn you! )And also if you have a live journal that isn't an rp, please advertise pot_lj. It will help alot!

Edit3: I forgot to mention, if you need to get a hold of me add me on hotmail or msn, what ever you want to call it. It is rosita _ himura 523 (at) homtail.com. No spaces in them and the (at) is @ . (By the way sorry about editing thing...my first time being mod. XD))

This is a warning for all of the inactive characters on this list, please: Send me an e-mail, post a comment here, or do a post on your journal. You can go on Hiatus if you need to, or drop your character if you don't have the time to play them anymore. I will be dropping these characters on Jan 31st if none of these actions are taken.

I would be really sad to see all of these characters go, so I hope you all see this and reply accordingly. Also, if anyone knows a reason for any of these characters being inactive, please tell me. <3
