RIGHT OKAY SORRY. Stanley is getting a canon bump! As you can see by Peter's post, which made it up first. My bad. I will edit with details in just a sec, just wanted to get this up here so it's official.

Starting on the 28th, Stanley will be gone a few days. He left Peace with Tempest and Peter when he went to take a piss and got sucker punched by the magic whim wham into his old life. So, there's a very miserable toddler probably screaming her head off throughout the moon base. He's sorry, really...

And he'll be back for zombie day, yay?

Edit: The basic reason for the bump is that Stanley's aware now his friends aren't dead, so there's something hopeful for him that he didn't have before. Also, he's more emotionally available, within certain limits that won't affect most people much, so basically all good news. Also since the British version of Cadie is showing up, I needed him to know more about her. And here is that info, C&P'd, but keep in mind that Cassie, the girl who is apping in, is slightly different than Cadie. So this is just in general, it's not 100% accurate to Cassie, for her information you'll want to read her application.

...If anyone else is interested in tiny teenager dramas for some reason, anyway. (Save yourselves.)

OKAY THAT'S ALL, it's over. Go home.

Dear Exsilium,
We come to you today in search of mods! We’re looking for two types of mod, specifically. We would like to add one or two people to the list mods, who upkeep pages like player contact and the taken list, and generally keep Exsilium moving smoothly from behind the scenes. It’s a glamorous job (a lie), full of fame and money (a bigger lie), and list mods get exclusive rights to firsthand witnessing of Ishmael and Liz going slowly insane (unfortunately not a lie)! But more seriously, this job involves updating the Taken Page about once a week, and routinely cleaning out the tags monthly, among other possible jobs.

If you’re interested in this, first off, we adore you. Seriously, thank you! It’s not always easy keeping a game of this size running, but with people willing to help keeping our various maintenance pages trim and current, we can focus on bringing you plots and events that keep the game moving. So, seriously, we really really appreciate the help!

We’re also looking for a third head mod to help us out with things, and this job is a bit trickier. As a head mod with Ishmael and Liz, your duties would include:
• Keeping up with and recording changes in the game resulting from plots and missions (including minor changes from personal missions)
• Handling player conflicts
• Helping to plan and run plots
• Answering plot questions
• Scheduling and accommodating player plots
• Dancing the silly chicken dance at least once a week with Ishmael.

Everything but the first and the last task would be done in tandem with us, it’s really just the "recording changes" job that is large enough as to demand we add a wholly new head mod to our team. We’re looking for someone that’s dedicated, responsible, and reliable above all else. It’s a big job, but we love doing it, and hope you will too!

To be considered for a helper mod, fill out this form:
<b>Name:</b> <b>Characters played:</b> <b>How long have you been in Exsilium?</b> <b>Do you have any experience with modding or list upkeep?</b> <b>How are you with HTML?</b> Not a trick question! There are jobs that involve very minimal HTML knowledge. (Seriously, if Liz can do it, you can do it.) <b>About how much free time a week could you designate to helping out?</b> <b>Why are you interested in being a helper mod?</b>

To be considered for a head mod, fill out this form:
<b>Name:</b> <b>Characters played:</b> <b>How long have you been in Exsilium?</b> <b>About how much free time a week could you designate to helping out, and what sort of schedule availability can you offer?</b> <b>How do you handle stress?</b> <b>Do you consider yourself able and willing to impartially handle player conflict?</b> <b>Do you have any experience modding, or otherwise coordinating large groups of people?</b> <b>What do you feel you could offer, as a mod?</b> <b>Why are you interested in being a mod?</b>

All comments to this entry will be screened for privacy! We’ll review any responses we get up until Saturday the 2nd, and announce our decision on Sunday the 3rd. And thank you so much for considering helping out, we really, really appreciate it! You guys are what makes this game fantastic.

Hugs and Kissies,
Your Adoring Mods
