As of today, I, the Ocelot player (askocelot.tumblr.com), am stepping down as TSF Admin.

Feel free to elect your own new admin.

That is all.

So, darling TSF, your beautiful lovely wonderful Admin (askocelot) is going to be away for a week, along with some other players. We will be celebrating Comic-Con and also the Admin’s 25th birthday. There may be booze. There will definitely be ocelots of the animal variety.

So what does this mean?

The Admin will be unavailable. Please don’t blow up TSF during this absence.

Thank you~

- The TSF Admin

I have received several accounts of player harassment linked to the player of Solidus. I do not, can not, and WILL NOT tolerate player harassment.

AS OF TODAY, JUNE 1ST 2012, ASKSOLIDUS IS NO LONGER A MEMBER OF TSF. THE ADMIN RECOMMENDS THAT YOU NO LONGER INTERACT WITH THIS PLAYER THROUGH ASKSOLIDUS AND RELATED ACCOUNTS.

We’re all here to have fun, right?

Well you know what’s not fun?

God-modding, Magic!Anon abuse, and player harassment.

God-modding is forcing another player’s character to do things against the wishes of the player. This differs from Magic!Anon in that players can choose to respond to a Magic!Anon, while they have no such option with god-modding. Example: During an RP between Cyborg Raiden and Ocelot, Raiden’s player writes that Raiden slices at Ocelot. Rather than wait for Ocelot’s player to respond, Raiden’s player says that Ocelot is sliced in two.

Magic!Anon abuse is the use of Magic!Anon to affect another player’s character in a way that is to the benefit of the Magic!Anon player’s character. Example: Rosemary’s player sends a Magic!Anon to Cyborg Raiden that makes him turn human and fall madly in love with Rosemary.

Player harassment is the act of bothering another player via Tumblr, Skype, e-mail, or instant messenger. This contact is often unwanted and is quite distressing for the player being harassed. Example: Grandpa Big Boss’s player starts talking to Rosemary’s player on Skype, complaining about life, the universe, and everything, including TSF. After a while, Rosemary’s player kindly asks Grandpa Big Boss’s player to stop talking to her. Rather than listen, Grandpa Big Boss’s player continues to send Rosemary’s player messages and gets defensive about the complaining. Rosemary’s player is eventually forced to block Grandpa Big Boss’s player in order to escape the messages.

Players discovered to have been abusing Magic!Anon to enact their wishes upon another player’s character will receive an official warning. After three such warnings, the player will be removed from TSF.

Players discovered to have been god-modding will receive one official warning. If god-modding continues, the player will be removed from TSF.

Players discovered to have been involved in player harassment may be removed from TSF without warning at the Admin’s discretion.

This is Official TSF Policy.

Firstly, a warning may be handed out not only for flagrant out of character behavior, but also for inconsistency in characterization.

Secondly, the character history would be an essay based on the history of the character with references. The player would be able to show where in the history their characterization comes from, and explain why they made those character choices. Do not forget, characters are shaped by the times they are in, the places they are from, and the circumstances in which they exist. This essay allows the player to explore all of that and show their comprehension and viewpoint.

Thirdly, while warnings can only be handed out by the Admin, they will be made with careful player consensus. Players may alert the mod to behavior that is inconsistent or out of character.

We all like to have fun, right? And we all like evolving our characterization. That’s what TSF is about: MGS characters mucking about on Tumblr and the relationships therein!

Sometimes, however, we get a little too crazy.

This is where the Three Strikes System comes in.

If the Admin is made aware of truly outrageous and out of character behavior, the player in question will receive a warning. After three such warnings, the player in question will be required to submit a full written character history to the TSF Admin or be removed from TSF. The Admin will be following up on reference links. Yes, this will be like a college paper, and while that’s no fun, neither is dealing with outrageous OOC behavior.

Consider yourselves warned.

So apparently our winner didn’t want the prize, and asked that we give it to the runner up.

So the new winner is NUMBER SIX

Congratulations, Daemi! You’re the new winner!

NUMBER 19

Congratulations, Twisted! You won!

So! Today is the Kentucky Derby party! First off, you all should log into Skype for phone calls and awesome.

Starting at around 12:30/1:00 PM Eastern there will be CUPCAKES being baked over here on Livestream.

Metal Gear REX will be hosting Little Big Planet streaming sometime after cupcakes are done.

At 6:24 PM Eastern is the actual running of the Kentucky Derby, SO I EXPECT ALL OF YOU TO BE TUNED INTO THAT.

Speaking of the Derby, I will be hosting a drawing of lots for a prize! What’s the prize? My super top-secret recipe for Honey Spice Cake! If you pick the winner, you win! Log into Skype to participate.

So, Happy Derby Day and Happy Cinco de Mayo!

The times are changing…

shifting…

twisting into a double helix of time and space…

Time is folding in on itself.

On April 29th, 2012… a door appears.

It appears in every time pocket, from 1964 to 2014. It leads to the new, merged timeline. You can use this door to get back and forth between times, if you wish to stay in your own time. But it is always there, for you to go through and visit other people.

Are you ready to step through the door?
