For starters, we've had some friends list updates, so you'd better run to the friend add page.

Also. Our new supplants are up. I am not bright enough to figure out the dice rolling (you can point and laugh at me now, Ivory D':) so I was forced to use the hat method. I am not a fan of the results, but I figured I would give it a try before automatically swearing it off. I did throw a couple back in ... it seems Sean and Sylar just REALLY wanted the Infatuation Supplant and I didn't want to change Sylar's sexuality. Not yet, anyway. Some of them had to be changed, so definitely go and check it out. As the comment on the bottom says, all the matches have two weeks before they cannot be changed. Use that time wisely.

A couple of you have already noticed this, but I have made a Suggestion Box. Feel free to use it as you see fit. I will read all the comments and share the ideas with Ilene. Try to remember that a suggestion box is for suggestion -- don't let the anonymity get to your head and make you feel empowered to go on attack. There is no point to such comments and they will be ignored. It has already been used inappropriately, and if this use continues we will start to log IP addresses. I wanted to give you guys a safe way to address us, not a secretive way to break the rules. I will remove any person that continues to personally attack either the mods or the players. This is pretty much why I will not bring back the HMDT because a couple of bad eggs can and will tear down all the players in a game, and I will not allow that to happen.

As Cassie has addressed, it seems commenting in the RPG has dwindled. This could be due to many factors, but some people are taking it personally. There is no rule toward commenting, and there will not be one any time soon. If you would like to see more comments on your entries, you should start commenting on others. Saints were often good at taking the first step, I know I am not a Saint. It can be hard to comment when you are afraid you will not get a response, but a guarantee you that you will get a response. It might take awhile, but nobody in this RPG has any bad will towards another. Not that I know of, anyway.

In other news, the OOC community will be under moderation for the time being. I will do my best to let through entries as soon as they come through, but I am very exhausted by all the instigation and drama stirring going on. I really don't understand what is behind it, besides a dissatisfaction that has only come to light in the past few weeks. I realize that I can't always please everyone, and the fact that I have been trying terribly hard seems to be ignored by many. I am not opposed to questions, but once I have answered your question, even if you don't like the answer, that does not give you the right to carry on. This kind of reaction can and will destroy an RPG. I don't want to see that happen, and I hope none of the rest of you do, either. This is not really a democracy -- if I say no, my answer is no. Even if all your friends agree with you, and you have a beautifully researched side. If you do not like this modding style --- well, that is very sad. But I cannot run the game any other way. This background plot is my idea, and I have to run the game in a way that will let it run its course. I cannot bend the rules for my friends OR for other players, no matter how desperately they want me to. I will not tollerate any more drama stirring. It is pointless and unproductive. There is nothing good coming from it, it is against the rules, and my three strikes rule will be in place from now on. I am tired of being too nice to people who are abusing my generosity. Cross the line and you will find yourself out of the RPG.

Okay. Now that that has been said.

I was very busy this weekend, so I did not have a chance to throw up an entry for people to request injections. We will slate the new CYOIW for next week, from April 12-18th. Please give me your injection choices on this entry or via e-mail.

Speaking of e-mail, someone addressed that they doubt the accuracy of my account. If your e-mail has been ignored for longer than a day, it is likely that I did not get it. I am very quick with my responses, I am on multiple times each day. If you feel that your e-mail was not received, feel free to contact me via AIM and ask if I got it, or if all else fails, send the e-mail again. I won't resent you for being thorough.

I'm also planning on creating a Harmony Mod AIM account. I will announce the name when it is created. You can contact me or Ilene there with questions that are plot sensitive/you don't want revealed on the OOC community. I am on most of the time, and you will be informed of who you are speaking to when you address us.

I believe that is all I have for you at the moment... please note the tag and throw me a comment with your thoughts! And please remember to request any injection you may desire. :)

<3 I really do love you guys. You are making my dream a reality. We're in a rough spot, but I hope we can push through the bad feelings and hard times to let the game flourish again.
