Hi, it's Mini again, just an FYI that Rozen brought in Wadanohara and thus I was contractually obligated to bring back shrimp dad Cherryblod. Re-intro coming whenever he gets into the IC community!

Oh, and you can reach/add me at Misheard if you like!

Hi, hello! Pretty much new around here, so what's up? I'm Rozen, and I'll be bringing in a cute little witch named Wadanohara from "Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea", which is a cute little game about fish and exploring the seas, as well as a hitman handyman called Nicolas Brown from Gangsta. Both of them will be taken somewhat early in their canons, so nothing huge has happened to them...yet.

Anyways, nice to meet you, and looking forward to playing with you guys! o/

ETA: Whoops, forgot say this, but feel free to add me on plurk (jashinsexual ) if you want!

SUP NERDS REMEMBER ME probably not

iiiit's Nao, former player of Zero Lancer/croibhristeoir and Yu Narukami/yumadbro from YONKS AGO. and now i'm bringing you delicious jojos in the form of a roleswap au, because i love that shit and i hope you do too.

this is Caesar Antonio Zeppeli of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 2, shoved haphazardly into a protagonist role because i love breaking my own heart. there is a summary on his journal but fair warning it's got hella spoilers for canon parts 1 and 2 because this doesn't go batshit off the rails until part 3

in closing: watch/read jojos. throw jojos into this mess with me if you want, i will stop literally no one. hell, let's all just have fun.

('nao', you ask, 'what the hell is under his eyes? isn't it like 1938 what the shitsticks is he wearing?' to which i respond 'i don't know just roll with it.')

Nice digs you all got here. Think I'll set up shop myself.

Hey everyone, the name's Joja. I tend to harass poor Andrusi's Karen with my boy Hidari Shoutaro from the excellent Kamen Rider W.

My boy likes to claim that he's a hard-boiled detective, like Philip Marlowe, but the fact is that even with his skills and eye for detail, he's always got his heart on his sleeve, and is too much of a softy to make the actual cold choices his boss could get away with, so you can totally get away with emotionally blackmailing him to do your bidding.

He comes from the end of his own canon, so don't actually expect much in terms of plot happening with him. However, that just means that you can hire him as PI for next to nothing, so go right ahead, it's not like he has anything going on at the moment :P

Hi, Ash Blaze here. I used to hang around these parts a long time ago and now I'm back! WELCOME ME!

*crickets*

Oh, alright.

Anywho, Precure bandwagon is on again as I bring back Tsubomi Hanasaki of Heartcatch Precure to the fold!

Karen's back. Now the game is funny again.

In the coming weeks, look for a greater-than-zero chance of Andrusi possibly playing a second character! (It's not much greater than zero. For one thing I haven't actually picked a character or anything.)

Right so hi, it's Mini! It's been a while since I was in DDD, but now I'm here again, and while I may likely bring back some old characters, here's a new one!

This is The King from Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star (coming out on Steam sometime! look forward to it!). He's a talking bird. A dead talking bird from a world where birds have surpassed humans. Also he cries a lot.

His intro post will be up whenever I get it typed up!

Akino rounding out her cast with a few oldies but goodies.

Starting off, Kendrix from Lost Galaxy is back, with this journal. And she's really excited to get her connection back.

The next two so far are canon updates:

Will Vandom (willtolove) from W.I.T.C.H. has been updated to season 2, where she's now dealing with some power upgrades, canon worldhopping, and a villain with the same powers she has. Oh, and some boyfriend issues like you will not believe later on.

Artemis Crock of Young Justice has a new journal because she's also been updated to season 2...and a 5 year timeskip. tigressburningbright is 21 now and undercover with the villain organization known as The Light as the assassin Tigress to investigate a nefarious alien invader. She will probably be a little less excited than Kendrix and Will, since she's going to worry her cover's been blown, since everyone back home is supposed to think she's dead.

Fun times.

I'll probably be bringing back some more down the line, but I wanted to start off with these girls first before figuring out who else I still have a voice for and who new I might want to try out.

Shaun/Kaitou is back with a ton of new and old roster members!

Hayate Yagami picking off from where she was the last time, which was the A's epilogue.

Beet J Stag from Go-Busters is back to annoy everyone.

Hibiki Hojo one of our precure is back too, and picking up where she left off in the muddled mess that was Suite. swapped her in instead for Philip from Kamen Rider W/My Little Jamjar.

Heart is new and ready to fight y'alls.

Dusk Shine is I think our first AU and he's the Rule 63 version of Twilight Sparkle. Info post is forthcoming.

Perrine-H Cloistermann Is back too!

Sunset Shimmer is one of those weird AUs we've heard so much about. She's from a mixed universe of Equestria Girls and Gundam Build Fighters. Info post for her will go up soon.

Oh and finally Koda of Power Rangers Dino Charge.

Okay guys, DDD is now officially open as an appless game! Not all the game info pages have been updated yet, but I'll summarize all the changes and relevant information here:

- The taken list is still here. To claim a character, comment here. All characters that are currently in the game are considered already claimed.

- Virus polls will no longer be run by the mods, and players will be allowed to subject their characters to any virus at any time (if you want to coordinate with other players to infect several characters with the same virus at once, the OOC community can be used for plotting!). Please note that viruses and player plots that involve things that have previously required mod approval will still require that approval.

- OCs are now allowed. We recommend putting some information about the character somewhere in their journal, either in an entry or in the profile info section.

- AUs and canon OCs are now allowed, but they must first seek permission from anyone else from the canon currently in the game. They also must have some information about their character somewhere in their journal (at minimum: the character's name, the fandom they're an OC/AU from, and an explanation of any character or canon divergence, if applicable).

- Doubles are allowed, but only if the first player of the character is okay with it. This holds true even if the first player of the character is playing an AU version, and the potential player wants to claim a canon version.

Keep in mind that this is a big change for the mods as well as the players, so bear with us as we work out any kinks and issues here! As always, questions and concerns are welcome.

Thanks for voting again, guys! Allowing both OCs and AUs won by a landslide, so that's something that'll be implemented along with the other changes. We as mods will figure out the logistics of how this will work, and pretty soon, we'll make the changes official!

As a lot of you have probably guessed, DDD will officially be transitioning into an appless game with a check-in system at some point in the near future (more details to come!). However, looking at your feedback in the last poll post, we noticed that many people had different views on allowing AUs versus allowing OCs, so we're running a follow-up poll.



This poll will be open for one week.

As of right now, the poll is officially closed! Many thanks to everyone who participated and left comments/suggestions. Since the issue of AUs and OCs didn't really have a clear-cut majority response here, we'll be discussing it further, first privately in the mod comm and then with all of you in the OOC comm. Be on the lookout for a post about that!

Hey guys, Iddy here! Sorry for the non-game journal, but this is my only paid account right now and you need a paid to make polls.

As you all know, DDD has slowed down considerably in the past couple of years. For the most part, we were tiny and slow, but not inactive - we still got regular posts that generated activity, and most people made activity check with no problems. However, in the past month or so, we've noticed that this doesn't seem to be the case anymore, and it doesn't look like the game has generated enough activity in July/the first week of August for everybody to comfortably make AC, so we've decided to suspend both activity check and the applications system.

Now, there are a couple ways that this could go going forward, and there are a few options we want to poll the playerbase on.

The Taken Characters list. We could become a straight-up DR and eschew this entirely, or we could just become an appless, AC-less game with a claims list (this would require some form of regular "I'm still here" check-in, to prevent the list from getting bloated with characters that are not and will never actually be played at all).

The rules about which characters are allowed. Currently, we only allow canon characters to be apped - no OCs, and no AUs (with the exception of somebody apping into a cast that has created an AU timeline based on in-game development). We could continue to enforce this, or we could open the game up to characters of all types.

Viruses. We could keep the virus schedule as-is with a voted-on virus occurring each month, or we could do away with scheduled viruses entirely and allow players to infect their characters at random if they so choose.



This poll will remain open for two weeks, after which the results will be tallied. Feel free to ask questions if you have any, and/or use this as a discussion post!

The following is a final purge list for characters dropped during Activity Check.

[ ADMIN CONSOLE | MASTER LIST ]

AC PURGE LIST

manage_circle del_read material_guy manage_circle del_access material_guy manage_circle del_read oceanicbutterfly manage_circle del_access oceanicbutterfly

The next activity check will be on Tuesday, July 1st.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

ATTENTION

Below is a list of journals that were unaccounted for during activity check. Please note that this is not a final purge list, so don't remove any of these characters from your friends lists. We'll be posting the final purge list on Friday, July 10th.

( Please check to make sure none of your characters are mistakenly on this list! )

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment here, or you can contact me through PM or a comment to this post!

Remember: if there's someone on here who dropped within the past seven days, they have not been removed because they're within the seven-day grace period and have not been removed from the taken characters list.

Likewise, if you see someone on here who you know dropped a long time ago, chances are they did not notify us of their drop on the taken characters list. There's always the chance that we could have overlooked someone, as well, but the purpose of AC is also to make sure all of the lists are updated, so no worries. They'll idle out, anyway. ♥

Also, thank you SO MUCH to the volunteers who helped with AC. You are very much loved and appreciated. <3333!

ACTIVITY CHECK

Activity check will run from today through Tuesday, May 7th.

Please reply to this post with the following information and links to 20 comments, with a minimum of 2 threads with different characters and a maximum of one post from your character, for each of your characters:
<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <b>Comment Links:</b>

( Example )

Comments must be from sometime within the months of May and June. Any comments where there is a discrepancy over the time stamp because of timezones (e.g. June 30th vs July 1st) will not count. For the purposes of AC, the following are designated single threads: a post by your character and all threads on it, all threads started by your character commenting to another character's post (or the comments therein), a log or event post "top comment" started by your character, any event post thread in which your character responds to another's "top comment," a log with another character.


Exemptions

If you are on hiatus, you are exempt from activity check. Your hiatus must be listed here or it is not official. If you have a question over this, please contact a mod. We will often accept an unofficial hiatus announcement from the OOC community, but we will not dig through the comm to find the links for you.

If your character was approved during the month of June, then that character is also exempt from activity check.

The list of exemptions is here.

Volunteers

THANK YOU DRAMADRAMADUCK VOLUNTEERS! \o/ This is where you guys get to help in the activity check process! We just need volunteers to go through this post to verify that people have linked the necessary amount of comments from the right time period, and reply to the original comment with "activity verified for" and the names of the characters that have been checked. Feel free to ping any of the mods with questions!

Activity Check Process

Here's what happens after Activity Check is over! On the 8th we will go through and gather the information from the check. No new links will be accepted from this point on, but the 8th and 9th will be used to make sure there weren't any errors. On the 10th, we'll post a list of the characters to be purged. Those characters will be available for reserve and application immediately - however, those applications will not be processed until after the 15th. This is so everybody has a fair chance to apply, and so the original player has time to reclaim their character if a mistake was made.

That should be it! If you have any questions or concerns about how activity check works, you can hit any of us up on AIM or plurk. The previous activity check-related posts can also be found here, so you may want to try checking there first.

Below is a list of journals that are exempt from tomorrow's Activity Check.

... Nobody! That was easy.

The comments still visible on the hiatus post are all active hiatuses. Hiatuses that no longer apply have been screened. All hiatuses that are still within their 3 month limit have been left up there. Only hiatuses still showing on the hiatus post apply for exemption in this Activity Check. If you returned from hiatus but haven't commented there to tell us you're back, please do so now.

Let me know here if there are any errors!

I don't think ATP mod likes having people comment with game ads. It would certainly explain why notice always goes up so late. Anyway, it's that time of the month when I put up this post and you all comment with the characters you'd like to... wait, no, that's... no, wait, actually that is what's going on here, isn't it?

Anyway, it's once again time for App This Plz, or more specifically it will be tomorrow night, and in preparation for this, we want to know: Who do you want to see? We do have our Requested Characters list (...which I should probably update, I'm pretty sure some of the requests are from people who have dropped) as well, but for ATP purposes you can just post your requests right here as well. We'll be including this information in our ATP post, so tell us who you want! Also feel free to ask any questions you may have!

For the convenience of your modpeople, we have devised a simple form you may fill out, which occasionally does not work properly but don't stress about it:

<textarea><b><big>[Name of canon here]</big></b> <b>We have:</b> [here] <b>We would love:</b> [here] <b>Anything else:</b> [here] </textarea>

Through our special Mod Magic, your form will transform before your very eyes into your very own character request! Don't delay--act now! Really, don't delay. We've got like eight hours.

With the last virus coming up a tie, for June we'll be going with Grab Bag!


For those not in the know, it means you can have your character experience up to three viruses that they've missed in the past! Only one may be a virus they have experienced before. Also, only one at a time! Otherwise, you're free to make them last as long or as short as you'd like. The list of past viruses can be found below under the cut, and will run from June 15th (Monday) to June 25th (Thursday)!

( Virus list. I typed that as virus lust at first. But they're not all that kind of virus. )
