▢ Introducing a new member of the mod team! A 3mm kidney stone! Please welcome them with open arms because I'M SURE THE FUCK NOT WILLING TO.

▢ In case you missed it, the new world information is live! There’s a whole bunch of good information there, so make sure to keep it in mind when playing stuff out in Shehui. This is copypasted from last time, but doop doop easily linked new world info.

▢ Hey! Do Your AC! IMPORTANT: Because of mod circumstances, as an apology to you guys: AC IS WAIVED FOR EVERYONE! We saw a bunch of people lamenting about exams, RL stuff, flu season...if you don't have AC, don't be too stressed. All you have to do is put some sort of acknowledgement in the Proof #1 spot before the 2nd when AC is officially official, no take backs.

▢ Reserves are currently open and the TDM has been posted.

▢ So...that happened! Luckily for everyone who has been taken in, others have devised some plans to come to their aide. Thanks to you guys, a plan will be put into motion that helps everyone to bust out and...all become wanted by the state? Oh well. We'll leave after effects for the next weekly update post that will actually happen on Saturday. For once.

▢ While ICly the whole plot will go down on the 2nd (Day 218), the log will go up on the 4th (Day 220) with more details revealed there about what the IC reaction will be. Also, 9S is looking to hack into the whole ~Shehui System~ which will reveal some things about the place where you're staying. What all will be released into the light? Hmm...we'll have to see.

▢ For those of you interested in Antima, a new job board posting allows for further testing -- and this is open to all. Want to try it? Want to try more of it? Now you can.

▢ What about something to do for those of you not at all involved in the whole drama conflamma rama of it all? As alluded to in the TDM, Yeunai is approaching. It's somewhat akin to our Valentine's Day, though the emphasis is on all relationships, not just romantic ones. As such, togetherness is something that Shehui as a whole is going to put a lot of emphasis on, especially in light of recent events. Magical baddies all over the place and whatnot. Traditions include giving people stupid/sappy/meme-y cards, Big Food, but also this really cool ID based app called "Bondr."

▢ Bondr works by giving you friendship points based on levels of interaction with others, and these points can then be redeemed for credits. While interactions can be specified by intensity (such as "Dinner Together" giving more credits than "A Quick Hello"), the ID cards that have Bondr enabled will rack up points just by being in close proximity to those who also have the app turned on. Those with Bondr are free to utilize the app at their own pace, or join large meetups where people just hang out and wrack up free credits by simply being around each other. Are you in?

▢ Keep track of the calendar here! Apps open on the 1st and AC is due on the 2nd!
