Agh, sorry to be so fail the last few days.  Caught bad cold and been kind of bleh, so posting hasn't been top priority. >.<  But I think I'm through the worst of it, though I might be a bit slow the next couple days.  Sorry to anyone I was still threading dinner/backthreading town stuff with.  If you need me to post or wrap up threads just let me know?  Otherwise I'll probably try to focus on starting NS ones. (though backthreading is totally fine, just let me know!!) 

The other thing is that a couple weeks from now, May 27 through 31 i'm gonna be out of town (at Anime Oasis in case anyone is going?).  They usually have free internets and I actually have a laptop that works this year, so hopefully that weekend will just be slow-posting and not total hiatus? ^^;  but they're also at a new venue, so it's hard to be sure.  

Sorry for the delays and definitely feel free to poke/kick/throttle/and otherwise bug me on messenger or via email if you need to get a hold of me for anything.  Thanks for being patient! ^^;

Just letting you guys know that the five M-U slots have been filled, of which four participants were pulled from the previous poll. We've just sent the e-mails and apologize to the polled volunteers who didn't get it. ;; THERE WILL BE ANOTHER DAY.

I have a humble request, the likes of which have not been seen since, um, Lelouch's first night at damned:

WHO WOULD LIKE THEIR CHARACTER TO BE LELOUCH'S BITCH FOR THE NIGHT?

To put it another way, there is a sudden urgent need for Lelouch to have backup while he ventures into some of the more dangerous regions of the institute. He is toothpick, so yeah, that.

The only real criteria for your characters for this is, apart from you being willing to have Geass actually work on them, that they look like they could hold their own in a fight. OH, and you might be getting a free aluminum bat OR a butcher's knife out of the deal. Also, Lelouch's Geass will only work twice in one nightshift, meaning that I can only take two of you. ... Then again, you're probably all busy with the event anyway, so yeah.

For more info on Lelouch's Geass, go here for its regular specs and here for its limitations. Mods, sorry if this belongs in that plot post, which I'm sure it does, but um, yeah, like no one's looking there anymore.

ETA: SORRY, THE POSITIONS HAVE BEEN FILLED wow that was fast.

Not sure how much this will be used, but...

Request your monsters here!

<b>Characters:</b> <b>Location:</b> area [<a href="http://link.html">link here</a>]

Example:
Characters: Haseo, Taura
Location: Walk-in Refrigerator [link here]

And here is a link to some guidelines that Fey set out about monsters in the past.

Now, for how NPC monster modding works! Basically, Fey has divided the maps up into sections (first floor here, second floor here). Each NPC mod is in charge of a particular section.

That means that when you make a request, you'll pretty much know which NPC mod will be taking care of it. The NPC mods can track this post and keep an eye out for when there are any requests that are in their area and then get to it. (Also, this way if there's a delay in getting your request filled, you know who you can contact about it.) Of course, a NPC mod could always ask one of the others to pinch hit for them if they're busy, on hiatus, etc.

WE'RE CHANGING THINGS AROUND ONCE MORE: We want to try out a system where each NPC mod makes a comment with THEIR NAME in the subject line, and then people will respond directly to that comment when they need a monster. In other words, if I wanted to be attacked by a monster in the Courtyard, I would reply to Tiassa's comment with the request. We think NPC mods might be able to keep track of when they're needed easier that way. In the event that you need an NPC mod in an unassigned area (outside the institute, the basement, etc.), there will be a specific thread for those places that you can respond to (and any mod will be able to pick those requests up).

There will be a three-day waiting period for NPC mod requests. In other words, if you wait three days and still don't get a monster, then you can feel guilt-free about contacting the NPC mod and asking them about it. At that point, the NPC mod must decide if they are going to do it. If they are unable, it's their responsibility to find another NPC mod to handle the request for them.

This should also make it easier for the NPC mods to watch their area and send out random attacks, so stay sharp! 8)

The area assignments can be seen here, or if this is easier:

First Floor
Green - Kesiah
Yellow - Tiassa
Light Blue - Tiassa
Purple - Jennifer
Pink - Allie
Dark Blue - Jansen

Second Floor
Pink - Maia
Teal - Kaze
Tan - Court
Orange - Court
Green - Tad
Blue - Brenda

As for the outside areas and the basement, those requests can still be handled by any of us! And that's about all! Hope this makes this process a little more efficient. :3 Credit goes to Fey (and possibly some others?) for the idea.

This is where you comment with any alerts that other players should be aware of. Your character knocks down a certain door? Comment here so that there isn't confusion with people trying to open doors that have already been taken care of. Your character raids a supply closet? Note here what was taken so that anyone else heading that way knows what they have left to choose from. Part of the building gets blown up? You better let us know!

Also, if something particularly noteworthy is going on a specific room, feel free to mention it as well. Let's say your character is in the middle of torturing another character in the 2nd floor kitchen. It would be a little weird for a group to bypass that while looking for supplies, so... yes! This is just a simple way for us all to stay informed about the out of the ordinary things that might be going on during any given night.

Basically, just respond here with the appropriate location in the subject line (if applicable, since that's not as easy to do when it's a lock-breaking), and... yes! We did something similar to this during the zombie event, so check that out for reference.

Thanks, and enjoy this nightshift!

A good time was had, stuff was bought, and now I need to try and catch up on everything.

So, Battler and Erika are heading that way, thinking a dropped patient still has that room. is it okay if we post under the assumption that it's empty? They'll just be looking for someone, so they're not going to be touching anything or anything. We thought we'd ask in case you're not okay with that for whatever reason.
