Yay! We finished a little bit early, so the new site will be opening this afternoon! (I have to go to lunch soon, so that's why it's not opening right at this moment)
I want to run a few things by any of you who may see this, and I'll make sure to post it on the jcink site as well.
The main thing I want to point out is that, for those of you who responded to the character transfer thread, your pbs are reserved on the new site. HOWEVER, all reserves will still only last a week. Yes, that means you have to write up your new apps within that amount of time, or the pbs go up for sale again.
I know you're thinking:
But hear me out. Just like on the site now, the new app is a freestyle app. You can write whatever you want, in whatever fashion you want. The freedom of freestyle apps leaves the space for your muse to take over, to form a character from the ground up by writing about them however you want. Also, you are completely allowed to copy and paste from your apps on here! We're not restricting you from that. HOWEVER, you do need to add to them and include why your character(s) are now in Charleston. Did they move with the Irish mob? Did they move out of Boston when it was destroyed and migrated to SC by chance? Whatever you want, is fine, but we will be looking for those reasons in your apps when we're approving them.
Now, when I said your apps had to be done in a week, I don't mean by next Friday. It's technically a little more than a week. We'll start counting from this Sunday so it's a full week from weekend to weekend. That makes it a bit easier for everyone to get done. The reserves all have the dates on them when they expire too, so that makes it easier to keep a track of.
I think most of you (if not all) have used jcink before, but I want to remind you that you must register with the name that will be your display name. Unlike Proboards, jcink doesn't give you the option of a 'display name'. Your login and your display name are the same. Register with your character's first, middle, and last name in all caps like: "LENNOX RAFFERTY SELWYN". These will be the names you login with. There's also an option on jcink to make your accounts in to subaccounts of others which makes switching hella-easier.
Make sure to read through the new plot and rules (there are drastic changes to the plot, thanks to the move) and the rules have some tweaks in there that you need to know as well. There are more groups, so get yourselves acquainted with those. I think we'll all have a blast! Can't wait to see you there!
THE SWITCH WILL HAPPEN AFTER 1PM EST.
