Return of the Weekly Update - Oct19th to Oct25th

[astonishing_xmods]

OOC

⊗ ACTIVITY CHECK WILL BE ON THE 25TH! And this time it's an actual AC, rather than a check-in. Characters that were accepted this month will be exempt, something that will be a constant for every month.

⊗ IF YOU HAVE NOT POSTED TO THE LISTS, PLEASE DO SO

⊗ MOD CHANGEOVER! We are sorry to say that one of our mod team, Nyx, will be stepping down to deal with some real life stuff. They'll still be playing here, of course, but no longer a mod. Replacing them will be SAM, player of Leonardo and Saitou. Congrats!

⊗ We'd like to apologize for the pacing on the event log. Things got hectic for all of us. I'll be posting an official resolution tomorrow, though you are more than welcome to keep threading, as we'll keep the NPCs active!

⊗ The AU CR meme is still open if you want to do any plotting or planning!

SCHOOL NEWS

⊗ There are a slew of new (and old) faces showing up! Among them are Reki, Yu, Kagerou, Zian, Naija, and Saitou! Come say hi!

⊗ Feliks and Fai are celebrating National Coming Out Day in predictably fabulous fashion. Enjoy some cupcakes.

⊗ Anyone wanna play some soccer?

⊗ Obviously the big thing is that the school was attacked by The U-Men. Get in on the action and bust some heads, or protect your fellow mutants. There's plenty of ways to get involved.

⊗ It's everyone's favorite time, GOSSIP TIME! Feel free to post to this thread and let people know what's the hot buzz around campus!

AROUND THE WORLD

⊗ Sublime was after the Phoenix's Ashes, aka the genetic remnants of one Jean Grey. What did he want with them? Stay tuned to this thread to find out.

⊗ After they heard about the attack, the National Film Board of Canada politely rescinded its intentions to send a team out to interview/convince Logan to make a film about his life. He seemed like he had better things to do.

⊗ There are rumblings in Genosha about the murders done in the name of the U-Men. Citizens feel like they are being threatened by a terrorist group that human authorities have done nothing to stop. There has been no comment from their leader on the matter.

⊗ Graydon Creed has been on the warpath lately, pushing a grass roots movement to convince the president to sign the Mutant Registration Act into law. Creed has directly stated that his associates in congress will see this law made by any means necessary. He states that the constitution gives them avenues to go over the White House's head, and they will use them if they have to.

⊗ Members of the TransSpecies movement have taken steps to disassociate themselves with the U-Men, claiming that their philosophy, that John Sublime himself, should not be tainted by association with extremists. The fact that Sublime as part of the attack on the Xavier Institute is not publicly known at this time.
