Updates
Just a few more updates today to keep you all in the loop about some changes that have happened around the communities!
-Events: While not all events required approval, we do ask that all events be reported to moderators for scheduling on the calendar. This will prevent overlapping events and help the mods keep track of what is going on, even if it isn't something that needs permissions. To this end, the Plot Approvals/Suggestions page has been renamed "Event Requests, Approvals, & Scheduling" for clarity.
-Rule clarification: Playercest of any kind is not allowed in the game. To prevent this, characters may not work at the same business or live in the same location if they are played by the same person. Clarifications have been added to the rules page.
-Navigation: All profiles have been updated to include all main navigation links. The main navigation page is no longer linked, eliminating an extra step to find all necessary pages and making it more convenient for players! :)
-Characters have been removed from Player Contact List for ease of updating on both player and mod side. (No more need to update with every add/drop for anyone, yay!)
-Search Requests: retired. Scope of search requests limited the number of people who were able to interact with an event. This works better in smaller game settings and any developed or partially developed request scenarios will be turned into future adventure-style events in the future.
-Job Recommendations: retired. This was a lot of work for mods for something that players are capable of doing on their own and works better in a small game setting. We're glad that you enjoyed them while we were able to keep up with them, but at this time there's one clear fact: You know your character better than we do! This wasn't feasible to continue.
-Closed Businesses: Because of the sheer number of businesses and overlapping purposes of those businesses, if an owner-character drops, the business will be closed unless the player specifically contacts the moderator upon drop for who will inherit the business. The moderators will not be seeking out new owners and will be closing businesses on character drop, resulting in the loss of jobs for any characters who are still working there. We will post an end-of-the-month report for closed businesses so you will know if your character needs to find a new job! As it stands, the employment page is extremely cluttered and difficult to keep up with, so this will help reduce that as well. By reducing the number of businesses when this happens, it will also make it easier for new characters to find a job that suits their needs by condensing the volume of options. Yes, we do understand that this may interfere with what you were doing with your character and we apologize for the inconvenience. However, there are a number of wonderful businesses open in the game for your character to get involved with and potentially get new CR, so we hope you are able to find fun in that!
Closed Businesses This Month:
-Scions of a New Dawn
-Michaelis's Tailors & Co.
-Amagi Inns
-Heals on Wheels
-Pink Sugar Bakery
-Revocs
-Arcadia Studio - Architecture and Decor
-Genessia's Tacky Curiosity Shop
Please let us know if you have any questions.

At this point in time, we would like to request that you handwave or finish on your own for the sake of not backdating 3+ months.
