**MOD POST**

SUP GUYS. Time for our Monthly Mod Post!

First things first--

WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFICIALLY WELCOME BENNU TO THE MOD TEAM!!

Bennu has been on board since about February 20th or so, but we only ever announced it on plurk so we wanted to give her a shout-out over here! She's been in the game since it opened and has a wide variety of characters across several different ships, and we're excited to have her as part of the team! We think she'll bring a lot of valuable thoughts and ideas with her and has already been a huge help in the past few weeks. So huzzah! Congrats, Bennu!

For those who don't know, Bennu plays Hajime, Motochika (Sengoku Basara version), Kai, Lea, and L-Elf. Her contact info has been added to the Mod Page!

WELCOME ALSO TO OUR NEW PLAYERS THIS MONTH!!! Glad to have you!


The usual housekeeping items:

♦ New characters! If you haven't already done so, please make sure to comment on both the Taken Characters and Player Contacts pages! CURRENT PLAYERS WHO HAVE NOT ADDED ANY ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS TO THEIR CONTACT INFO SHOULD ALSO DO SO.

♦ ALL CHARACTERS IN THE GAME SHOULD HAVE A TAG! Please use these anytime you create or comment on a post in [community profile] piratejournal and [community profile] high_seas! This will make it much easier for YOU if you ever want to go back and find a post your character tagged into! If your character doesn't have a tag, let a mod know and we'll create one ASAP.

♦ As you form crews or join the ones that already exist, please be sure to let us know over on the Ship Registry / Crews page! Also, we suggest making plurk cliques with your crew members, or maybe even setting up a separate DW community for your crew. It makes it easy to keep in touch with everyone on board your ship and gives you a convenient place to plot, etc!

♦ We also have the Crew Locations post now. Be sure to keep it updated!

Joining a crew is not optional. Whether you start your own, hop on someone else's ship, or even set sail by yourself, YOUR CHARACTER SHOULD EVENTUALLY END UP SAILING THE SEAS. Isla Empieza is not there for them to set up a permanent residence! Get yourself on a boat!

♦ You can use the Island Registry to determine where you would like to sail to and have ADVENTURES. Feel free to visit any of the islands already listed there, or create one of your own!

♦ We really suggest that you keep the Mod Plurk friended, as we use it often and post all sorts of updates, reminders, and event notifications over there: [plurk.com profile] highseas

♦ This month's Lookin' Fer Crew Meme will go up over the weekend sometime.


Current happenings in game:

♦ This month is NAVY MONTH. The Navy is out in full force right now, and you can feel free to have your characters engage them whenever they want! This includes new characters, too. There are plenty of lower ranking officers and ships out there right now that you're more than welcome to play around with if you want to engage in any fights or hijinks.

♦ Reminder for those who signed up for a Captain and/or Admiral fight, you have until April 6th to get your logs up!

♦ Stay tuned for April events/plots/curses to be announced within the next couple weeks. We've got some ideas in mind, and there might even be some April Fools shenanigans planned~
