June 9 Update!

[Haruno Sakura]

Wow, haven't done an update for a long time! Well, here's another one for everyone!

Activity check for June will be starting Thursday - the 11th - so please stay tuned for that! There will also be spotlights the week after that. HOWEVER...

~ The quotes spotlight will be specific quotes chosen by ME and you will vote on the quotes. This way, we can perhaps avoid tiebreaker quotes. If you wish to request a quote you may, but I may or may not use it.

As well, because parts of the main plot seem to be moving rather slowly, I am going to open up the next section of plot. THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS WILL BE NEEDED FOR THIS PLOT:

~ Deidara
~ Sasori*
~ Chiyo [someone to NPC would be great. I don't want to have to NPC her the whole fight.]
~ Sakura
~ Tenten
~ Neji
~ Lee
~ Gai [an NPC, most likely.]
~ Kisame*
~ Itachi
~ Kankuro [Most likely NPC as well]
~ Temari
~ Gaara

* = not finished their applications as of yet. If they are not finished, an NPC would be great.

I would like all of the characters to check in with me [staff can edit theirs in to this] to make sure you'll be participating in the plot. If your bio isn't finished, then finish it as soon as possible! WE WILL NEED THESE CHARACTERS!

Confirmed:

~ Sakura
~ Tenten
~ Deidara
~ Neji

Depending on how quickly the above plot moves along, I may be opening up the Hidan-Asuma arc to get things running a little smoother. However, please note that you will be without an actual Head Admin for a week near the end of July; I'm going on holidays, and Monsun will be in charge. [for those that have it] I may or may not be on MSN depending on how my cell signal goes from where we are. If anything, however, there are people here who can text me while I'm out [Isanne and Thomas] as well as other people from other sites who know how to find me. ^^

Wew! That's all there is for this update!

Saska's Mini Rant

---

Yes, I deserve a mini-rant, and you all should read this, really.

HOW MANY FREAKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE NOT TO COPY PERSONALITIES AND APPEARANCES?!?!?!? It's in the goddamned rules, you guys, so read them, don't just skim them. I'm sick and tired of having to tell people to rewrite the personality, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, REWRITE!! In all honesty, it pisses me off that people can't follow those same rules. You should be lucky I allow you to copy the history; on my old site, canons had to write out EVERYTHING. Even the history.

So seriously, I'm going to start temp-banning people if they can't follow the rules. I'm sorry, but that's the rules. I'm sick of having to re-tell everyone that. I check with every single damned canon app that comes through unless I can clearly tell that it wasn't copied. I won't hesitate to start handing out temporary bans upon accounts if you can't follow the rules. I'll unban you if you rectify the problem with me, but I'm just sick of it. At least half of the canon apps that came through here had copied personalities. Don't do it. EVER.
