------------

3/27/08 Three notes so far today:

1. Welcome ~BleedingxAngel~ back to the guild.

2. Roster has been updated.

3. March contest ends in four days. Taking ideas for April's contest.

-------

3/25/08 The current roster has been updated with new bios. Those of you are still undecided for teams: Hellions are now only with 4 members while the New Mutants have 7. No pressure wink lol Remember, you don't have to be bad to be a Hellion. Emma will pick people who follow her ideals OR serve a purpose on her team.

Information on how the school system works at the Institute was added to the "Institute Misc Information" section in the Study forums.

Okay I need to work now... jobs, you know.

-----------

3/24/08 As promised, THE GAME HAS BEGUN! MrScottSummers has our first post and it's mostly an introduction into what is going on at the Institute. It is the beginning of a new semester of school. (Assume that it is a spring semester). Students who were already members of the school have been on a two week break and need to get their class schedules on day 1 (Orientation/Open House day). Students who are new to the school need to talk to Emma Frost about who their counselor is, what their schedule is, and to get set up on a tour of the school. There are X-Men (teachers) everywhere so feel free to NPC them within reason. You can also NPC an X-Man giving yourself a tour (as long as it isn't Emma or Scott). Most of y'all know the drill!

Of course, you're not limited to the above. We're mostly just working on introducing our characters to each other and the game right now.

Welcome new players: NimrielArgent and lDark Phoenixl

Dorm listing added to the Study.

---------

3/22/08: I updated the Current Roster so everybody can easily see what powers are being used and what teams folks are on. If your character doesn't have a team yet, I put you on 'other' for now.

ETA for Game Time is Monday!

-------

3/20/08 Welcome Liquid Kitsune to the guild!

-------
3/19/08: The RP Thread has been set up. There is an introduction to the game world in it so that you can see what world you are writing your bios for.

A new field has been added to the bios which is important, I think. "View of Mutant/Human relations." Being that we have students from all beliefs, it might be valuable to know.

Feel free to start posting bios. We'll review them as they're posted. We know how you all write so we're not going to put you through the painful application waiting period.

Runico is now a mod. He is going to be the leader of the Hellions team.
