Today is Wednesday, 1 May, 1850 / Çarsamba 18 Jumādā ath-Thāniya, 1266.* Your weather forecast for today is a typical May day: relatively high humidity, but no soaring temperatures.

Launch date: 1 May
Since I figure it'll help galvanise us, I want to launch the game on 1 May. Before then I'll make sure there's a rules/FAQ post. We'll take applications for the game before we officially open, but it makes sense to try to create your character before then so you can get in right at the start! I may start with a couple of events to help as many ( Read more... ) -

With LJ having lots and lots of problems over the past few years, Frances and I thought this was a question worth asking.
Even if you would not rather make a move to Dreamwidth, we will mirror the community to ensure the work is backed up. :)
