Announcement 2/27

Welcome back!

Hey guys! Things have gotten a bit quiet around here lately, so we're introducing a new event in hopes of injecting a bit of life back into this place. Following the event is another short announcement that you should all read through, but we'll keep this one short and sweet!

Fallfest

Perhaps, so soon after Halloween, many universities would already be preparing for Christmas. The rest of corporate America gives into the craze, after all; why hold back? CSU has different plans for this year, however. Instead of ushering in a Christmas event far too early, they're holding a Fallfest that celebrates the beauties of fall while it's still here. Set up in the campus courtyard with few decorations aside from the beautiful changing leaves and tables set up everywhere, it's a peaceful occasion, boasting cozy and calming outdoor activities that are a good fit for the season. Lunches Monday through Friday consist of cooking competitions, with chili, pies, casseroles, soup, and burgers on each day respectively. Hot chocolate and cider are available for free on campus from four to eight each night, just in time for the best part of the event: movies on the lawn. A large screen is set up on campus, and each night a different movie (or multiple!) is shown. Bring a blanket and enjoy the movies you choose (starting at 6pm), listed as follows:
Monday: Ghostbusters
Tuesday: Back to the Future
Wednesday: Beauty and the Beast
Thursday: Jurassic Park films
Saturday: Star Wars original trilogy
Notice that Friday is missing from the list: this is because all day and all night Friday there will be live music taking place on the courtyard. People are encouraged to socialize and enjoy music of all genres as they explore the craft fair set up for the entire festival. This craft fair boasts all types of items, perfect for doing a little early Christmas shopping. A few local restaurants have stands set up for food if you would rather skip out on the cooking competitions, as well. Overall it's a nice peaceful environment, perfect for making new friends or hanging out with old ones. Enjoy. (This event will be taking place in-game from November 9-14, but we'll keep the forum up for much longer so you can finish your threads.)

Activity

With that out of the way comes the boring same old stuff. Instead of having people announce their intentions to come back, we're waiting on archiving characters for a month. If you so wish to come back, simply post; if any account as no active posts by mid-December, we'll archive the account and character. In other words, just jump back in! No need for an activity check for now.

Development

We'll be adding in some new development prompts, so keep your eye out on that! Don't forget to ask us for a subforum for that area if you'd like one. Hope to see you guys working on that!
