ENROLLMENT IS CLOSED

If you are not in the list that I posted a few days ago, have not been approved for posting at fandomhigh directly by principalconnor you DO NOT belong here and will be forcibly removed. Enrollment is closed at this time and unless you are an approved player, you may not post in the various fandomhigh communities or in the individual player journals. Period. Full stop.

There have been several instances of people who do not belong to this game reported to me. Unless and until enrollment is opened again and your character is personally approved by principalconnor, you may not post here. Period. In light of attracting people who have not read the rules and are showing up with duplicates of existing characters, something which is also strictly against the rules, I am also closing fandomtownies to membership until principalconnor gets back.

Only principalconnor can approve new students.

jerusalem_s is the right hand of God here, people, and what he says goes.

No one, and I mean NO ONE else is authorized to do anything when it comes to student/teacher/townie permissions.

This may eventually change but, as of right now, it's just the two of us... and I know damn well she hasn't approved anyone except our new webmaster in quite some time.

If this persists, everyone here should have these people friended and we will allow 'friends only' posts until the intruders desist.

Please be polite, but inform non-members that they cannot play here without first waiting for open enrollment and then being approved directly by principalconnor.

Thank you.

*thoughts cliques were very in character for high school*

Huh, it's kinda hard to respond to everyone. I suppose SFC do have a lot of common ground. *clings to Archie OMG*

[janet_fraiser]

*agrees with Cameron*

OMG, too hard to respond to all! I love reading entries, but I can't respond to everything!

MFCD really needs to set up a meeting so all the virginal male characters can bond over Titanic.

[janet_fraiser]

OMG. It's the male equivalent of the slumber party thread. You must do this!

I will not ask Replicarter to make surveillance devices.

Well, I probably won't ask her to.

[janet_fraiser]

The spying thing has been going around these days. That's all. :)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Hee. We'll set something up after the plot this weekend.

You can't. We're smart about where we hold these things.

[janet_fraiser]

Cool.

We WANTED you to spy on us. Duh!

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Ah, and we don't want you to spy on us. *glees*

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*grins* I'll have the president talk to the vice-president and we'll work something out. But err, after the mayhem plot clears probably.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Just doing meta-nattering here, not really agreeing or disagreeing with your comment specifically...

To a certain extent I think there's always going to be cliques of some kind, esp given a pseudo-high school environment. I mean Chloe and Angelus aren't exactly going to be hanging out together without some kind of good reason.

Unfortunately the flip side of that is that cliques are a double edged sword: great fun for the people in them, not so much for those on the outside who can't figure out how to get in.

The earlier made suggestion of mixers might be an idea. Or maybe just more external events that all of the characters can react to in their own way. I know for me it can be frustrating to try to get something going but be limited by how many characters my boy can actually interact with. And if one of those players gets caught up IRL or what have you, there goes the six degrees of FH that could've gotten Angelus doing something with somebody new.

External events, OTOH, give everybody even more common ground, so that might help act as an ice breaker of sorts.

As I say, I'm just riffing here.

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Same here with the not agreeing/disagreeing - just kinda commenting. *waves to Angelus while she's at it, grinning*

As for the commenting in communities where you're not 'cleared'? I've really been trying to make sure to kinda police my own self and limit my posting to the ooc, icon and townie communities (since I'm only based in the town, at the moment - I'd like to attend FH too, but if that makes more work for anybody, just let me know, hmm?). When I'm in town and available, though, I try to interact with as many people as possible... and it's not a chore, either, not at all - Shane's a people person, she loves meeting new people especially pretty girls *cough*. :D I mean, so far, she's met a vampire, a guy from the 14th century, a time-traveler dude, a talking dog-wolf-cat thingy, a really sexy mutant chick, a slayer chick, a charmed chick (geesh, seeing a pattern here? hehe)... and she's loved every minute of it.

But yeah, that's a thought - instead of hanging out at the high school or in the dorms all the time, an idea might possibly be to go and hang out at the pub or at Deb's shop or go gamble away your allowance for the week at Geoff's place, occasionally. Really - the townies are all quite friendly folks :)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

I compeletely agree, I can definitely see both sides of this. I think just as long as everyone is willing to respond to all posts made to them, that interaction will happen. It sometimes takes time to know people and it's natural that you interact with those that you are familiar with.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Heck even I have moments of being reluctant to just randomly walk up to a character b/c I can't tell if I might be interrupting something. But the times when people have randomly walked up to Angelus have always resulted in something. It might not be life-long friendship (...'cause, Angelus) but it's fun to see what happens.

I suppose we should all just take the chance on randomly tapping people on the shoulder and knowing that if we are interrupting something then we can be told in an ooc comment.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*nods* Definitely. I think unless a post is clearly labeled as marked, you can pretty much post anywhere. I make a point of commenting to anything directed to me.

And now I'm stuck with the image of Angelus sitting in on an MFCD meeting as sympathiser and I just broke my brain.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus isn't so much a fan of Celine loves the ballet though but Angel OTOH... ;)

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I mean, Shane's character is basically from 'real-life,' modern day Hollywood... so she really has no canonical cause to be dealing with vampires and wolf-things and mutants. Really, Shane's so non-judgemental, I think she could probably have a really good, interesting conversation with DeathnBinky and not bat an eyelash... lol That's just how she is...

However... that's kinda the whole point to this. That we all get out there and meet new characters and interact and have a good time.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

I wanna give so much props to the people who are doing so much with their characters that they're fun to play with even if I personally don't know their fandom from a whole in the wall. I might not be able to tell if they're in character or not, but they still make it enjoyable.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Dittos to everything.
