This has been the longest time coming and my biggest apology has been that I've strung this game along with my decision for so long.

Vivider started this game over a year ago in March of '11 with myself and two others as her comods. I was so surprised by the overwhelmingly amazing people who joined this game and so sad to see so many leave during that time. But others have joined who have been just as wonderful and others have left as well, as is the usual cycle for games. This game has grown into something so amazing and I've been so happy to be apart of it.

Unfortunately, I've stepped down as a player and now I'm stepping down as mod. I've not been as involved as I should be for a long time and at this point I have accepted that this is no longer my game. It's developed so beautifully without my help and will continue to flourish with me gone.

So I'm leaving this game to the very capable hands of my two co-mods, Leah and Bitte, who have been working tirelessly for this game and to keep it going smoothly for all our wonderful players.

Thank you so much, each and every one of you, for the memories and

onepassingnight will always have a special place in my heart!

There will be an Activity Check held at the end of February. The requirement will be 15 comments per character during the months of January and February. Threads from LJ or DW are both applicable. Since this is the first full AC we've had in awhile due to holidays and the move, it is a bit lighter (15 instead of 20 comments) but it will be treated strictly. (This does not mean we're not open to working something out reasonably.)

The LJ comms will be closing at the end of the month; please try to finish up threads. At the end of the month, the content will be imported to here so it will not be lost, and the comms on LJ will be made read-only. (If anyone needs more time at that point, please let us know.)

Theme Voting: Please only vote once; the winner will our theme for the next month. Voting ends February 28. Themes are culled for consistent lack of votes, and as always, more themes can be suggested here to be included starting next month. Participation in themes is entirely optional.

( Themes and Poll Under the Cut! )

This is a test post.

There's ~~nothing~~ to see here.

ONEPASSINGNIGHT IS MOVING TO DREAMWIDTH GUYS!

comms at dreamwidth:

ONEPASSINGNIGHT
APASSINGTHOUGHT
(replacing passinconscious)
PASSINGOOC
PASSINGMEME

I've taken a look at the votes, read through the comments, and taken some considerable time to weigh in on this matter. I've also been watching other communities and how they handle things and how moving goes for them. Through mod discussion, we've come to the decision that a move to DreamWidth.org is the best choice for the community right now.

What this means for everyone here!

POSTING opens up tonight at DW! You can make new posts to the new community starting tonight!
IMPORTING will be happening at the end of the month

Posting: first things first. Before you post you must comment to the taken page located here. It asks for you LJ USERNAME and your DW USERNAME. It also requests a DW info post that is entirely optional. Info links will still link back to your lj posts if you haven't deleted them/locked them/whatever. If you have, please give us a new info post asap. NOTE: accounts will not be accepted until you comment so we know who is who! especially if your name has changed

Importing: Already tags have been imported for convenience, but posts will not be imported until February 1st. This means the comms here will be open until January 31st to finish anything you have currently on-going before I lock the communities and make them view-only. However, if January 31st comes and you have not finished everything please inform a mod and we will leave the communities open awhile longer.

Activity Check this will server as our AC! You comment, you passed! After all the trouble, we don't feel like putting you guys through hoops after this whole debacle to stay in the game. However, if you do not feel like moving over or staying in the game I do ask that you comment to this post as well with a 'DROP' in the subject for our records.

We sincerely hope that this decision satisfies everyone and that people are happy with the move! Please, if you have any troubles, questions, comments, concerns, leave them in a comment below or pm a mod or im one of us if necessary. Even if you are just confused about using DreamWidth. I would like to help each and every one of you with this transition and make it as easy as possible.

Thank you all for being a fantastic game! See you on the other side! o/

Passing Mod Team

passingmod.livejournal.com

January's theme will be Jurassic Park:

Just as it sounds: dreaming of dinosaurs, whether running from a T-rex or helping that sick stegosaurus.

Questions can be directed to the first subthread. This post can also be used for theme plotting. And as always, new theme suggestions are accepted here. Please do, as our pool is getting low!

passingmod.livejournal.com

I have read over the comments from the discussion post and decided to officially put this to a vote now. Please, everyone, make a vote.

RULES -

I am using ticky boxes because of the 'no preference / neutral' vote. I would like to see how many people are neutral to this decision, but if you do feel like you have a preference one way or another please vote for the site you would prefer as well as neutral. Neutral will serve as a 'I go with the game' sort of vote. So if you have a preference, but in the end would stay with the game regardless then you can vote for both.

I have also added an option for need more time to decide. If you feel you are not ready to decide, then please check that box and we can always return to this at a later date in time.

Please only vote with your game journal. If you do, however, vote with a separate, off-game journal please comment and tell us who you are.

If a move is decided on we will not be moving immediately. There will be time to get set-up and acclimated there yourselves, and we'll transition likely within the next two weeks before I return to school. Though that is not definite either.

[Poll #1807807]

Thank you everyone for being so kind and patient and easy to talk with/work with during this time and I hope we can reach a decision that satisfies everyone! You can leave your questions/comments/concerns below if you feel the need to.

A lot of players and games are discussing their futures right now, and we'd like to discuss it, too. We'd like to stress that every option is a possibility right now, and we want to hear from all of you. No doors are closed.

Essentially, we'd like to hear whether players would prefer to keep OPN on LiveJournal, or move elsewhere. If moving is the preference, we'd appreciate preferences regarding where. All we really emphasize is keeping a cool head, and we'd like elaboration so there can be discussion. If anyone would prefer to keep any input private, mods can be reached by PMs on the mod account or on plurk.

As soon as a clear path is reached, we'll announce what our next step will be (voting/staying/otherwise) As of right now, no time-frame is set. If further discussion posts are opened up as well, it's also absolutely fine to change your mind and speak up for a new opinion.

passingmod.livejournal.com

I have turned on the custom comment pages on all the accounts associated with OPN (

onepassingnight,

passinconscious,

passingooc,

passingmeme, and

passingmod).

However, whether a bug or deliberately on LJ's part (as I don't know yet), custom comments are being overridden by the default comment page. For now, until this problem is fixed by whatever LJ has done, you will need to install your own layout. Personally, the ones here and here seem to both work well.

Once you have both installed, you add the phrase '?style=mine' to the end of every url link. There is a bookmarklet that is supposed to help automatically do this for you.

I am sorry for the inconvenience and hope everyone is still able to continue playing!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns you may leave them here.

So, it's almost been a year for me in this positively wonderful game. Around the second month after it was created, I volunteered to become a mod and was welcomed with open arms. Perhaps I haven't been the most involved mod, here and there-- but you folks, you have been amazing.

Unendingly patient as we sought to resolve issues, to keep up with the applications and turn this place into a nicely oiled machine. Your passions and imaginations are utterly inspiring, and as my very first attempt at modding, I couldn't ask for a more wonderful crowd of people to talk to, play with and keep the ball rolling, here and there.

Now that time has...come to an end. I can no longer support Livejournal as a site, and so I'll be looking at packing my bags, saving my favorite threads, and hopefully wind up on Dream Width, sometime next week.

Thank you all again, for the hundreds of wonderful experiences that you've brought me. Every moment in this game has been an utter delight.

passingmod.livejournal.com

As of right now, we have no intention to switch the game to DreamWidth. Give it a week or two and we'll come back to this option for discussing. In the meantime, I'll leave it up to the game to decide how you want to handle the comment pages.

[Poll #1804839]

passingmod.livejournal.com

It's that time of year again, OPN! Due to the season, as well as quite a few of our players currently burrowing down for exams, this month's AC will only require you to reply to this post with your character journal.

If you have more than one character with us, feel free to use the form below. Happy holidays!

As a side note, make sure your opinion counts as our new theme voting goes up for December! Be sure to check out the new announcement and poll for voting and suggesting your own themes, as well!

DANGER LIST FOR AC

( cut for long list )

If you are on this list you have until Monday, October 3rd to respond to the Activity Check here with 10 comments from June to now. Otherwise you will be purged from the game.

Thank you to everyone who responded thus far! You've made this AC go as smoothly as possible. ♥

Good day, everyone! As stated in our updates, Activity Check now requires you to post your activity as a link to pass. Post such as these will be made monthly.

Characters accepted after September 1st are exempt from AC.

This AC, you may post any 10 comments from any log- these do not have to be consecutive. The dates which cover you for this AC period are from August 1st to September 30th; please copy the table below and post your activity following the prompted outline.

Character Name:
Journal:
Log/thread: Please include whether the log or thread being used is from August or September.

A warning list will be posted on October 1st, with a further time period given to allow for AC submissions. As of October 5th, any character journals that have not posted to the AC will be removed from Onepassingnight.

If you know of anyone who has placed themselves on hiatus and has not left a comment stating such, or is having computer/RL complications, please let us know here or by PM.

As a final reminder, Theme Voting for October will end September 30th. Make sure to get your vote in!

passingmod.livejournal.com

Announcements: If you haven't yet, please join the new comm,

passinconscious! It's for first person, journal type comment threads based on the premise of a sort of dream-state telepathy. Basically, character thoughts are broadcast while they dream or daydream; tuning out in waking life tunes in to the dream world.

Now on to the theme voting poll! We have several new ones this time. Please only vote once; the winner will our theme for the next month. Voting ends September 30. Themes are culled for consistent lack of votes, and as always, more themes can be suggested here to be included starting next month. Participation in themes is entirely optional.

( Cut for Length: Theme Summaries and Poll )

passingmod.livejournal.com

With time comes some transformations and additions—such as the fine looking details noted here for you today! Notes have been sent out to this prior, in regards to new details on comms and AC—but there is much more to be said. Please bear with my tl;dr, as I go through these for you all.

The first announcement to make is in regards to the results on Mod applications. We’re very delighted to add Bitte and Leah to the team. Both of these lovely ladies have been with OPN since practically the get go, and are more than approachable in regards to questions or concerns that you may have. With our moderator team updated to such a large number, we will be doing a lot of clean up over the next few weeks to get this place looking sparkling and new!

We would also like to say good bye to Kim and Angie. Angie helped found this game back in March and helped get it started and we are forever thankful to her for the help she's given. Kim stepped in when we needed her and provided the aid we needed then and we are sorry to see her go. But we thank the both of them for their help and wish them luck in the future!

And that would be all so far! Again, thank you so much for joining us. Your views on these changes and any further suggestions are more than welcome, so comment here with just that! From Kim, Sam and myself I'd like to thank you all again for the amazing amount of patience that's been provided to us from all of you-- it means more than we can say.

So the theme(s) for September aaaaaare

Of Another World and Dark / Nightmare!

As stated before, you can either combine these, use them separately, whatever you like! Go wild with the ideas and use them for whatever you please. :)

Quick refresher on the basics:

Dark / Nightmare: A definite nightmare. Darkness, death, decay is everywhere: dead friends, rotting corpses, violent strangers, a broken-down city.
Of Another World: Canon-swap, basically. Sailor Senshi become Pokemon Trainers, Pokemon Trainers become Overlords, Overlords become Keyblade Wielders, and so on and so forth. Their backgrounds and personality would change depending on their new world.

There will be a comment in this post specifically for planning. Please restrict planning in this post to that comment. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Also! Get to submitting some more themes guys, we're starting to run low!

Mod Applications

We're still accepting applications for mods for four more days. Get your app in by then if you'd like to be considered for a mod!

Remember to send your application in a private message to the mod account.

--

New Suggestions

So the idea was brought to my attention of making a community, possibly called passingconscious that would act like a 'network' communication for OPN. Basically this would still be dreams, but short-handed and more like a 'stream of conscious' thought process that would allow for quick conversations within dreams.

We're going to take a vote and open the floor to discussion. There will be a comment for the network idea discussion specifically. Please restrict conversation to that comment.

[Poll #1774960]

Keep on rocking guys <3

Hello guys, just popping in to say- hi, to new faces and old!

Sam recently left a message apologizing for the lack of activity, I'd also like to add onto that with my own apologies. There's been a few things going on in my personal life, a lot of which has been centered around my health, but the tests are all done, I'm feeling a bit healthier, and I'm hoping that you can forgive me for my lackluster performance the past couple of months.

For those of you who don't know me already, I'm Daine, one of the mods here at OPN. I'm on AIM quite frequently, so if you ever need to ask a question feel free to drop me a line at radianceend.

Roxas and myself will be popping up more frequently quite soon, thank you all so much for your patience.

We're starting this post on a happy note with THEME VOTING yaaaaay~ (trust me you are all going to love this post)

THEMES

Underwater: Potentially in the city of Atlantis, you're all underwater. Mer-people abound.
Dark / Nightmare: A definite nightmare. Darkness, death, decay is everywhere: dead friends, rotting corpses, violent strangers, a broken-down city.
Road Trip: Everyone is divided into cars and is going on a road trip.
Be a Rock Star: Like above, everyone is divided into groups, only this time they're in a band.
Telepathy: Characters are all telepaths suddenly. Moreover, they can be bonded into pairs, with all the hokey hallmarks of telepathic pair bonding. (Mutual co-dependence, strong empathy, etc.)
Candyland: The whole place is candy. Creativity abounds from there.
Music in Me: Everyone starts breaking out into song and dance, apparently for no reason at all. Problem is, the songs also reveal what the singer truly feels, so if she was trying to hide something, this event will now proceed to reveal it, through the usage of song and dance numbers.
The Underwear Dream: You're just not prepared. You've shown up for school/an interview/a lecture/work/an important audition... in your underwear.
Flip the Chessboard: Characters are now the opposite of what they usually are. Lawful Evil becomes Chaotic Good, male becomes female, slouch becomes hard worker, hero becomes villain. The choice of what kind of trait is flipped is up to the mun's, of course.
Of Another World: Canon-swap, basically. Sailor Senshi become Pokemon Trainers, Pokemon Trainers become Overlords, Overlords become Keyblade Wielders, and so on and so forth. Their backgrounds and personality would change depending on their new world.
Family Portrait: Looks like your bromance is about to become a little more literal.
Characters will find themselves related to those around them for the rest of the month.
Through the Looking Glass: Characters find themselves traversing alternate universes of themselves not seen in OPN- worlds where they died, where they aren't human, where they didn't save the world in time, ect.

Bonus time. Top two voted on themes will be the themes for September! What does that mean? I'm leaving that up to you. You can do separate things with them, combine them, whatever you like~

[Poll #1773387]

----

Onto other matters.

I would like to apologize for this month. I can't speak for Daine and Kim, but for me this month has been filled with ups and downs in my personal life that have left me too exhausted for much of anything and I've left a lot wanting in my rp life. Hopefully, September will be brighter. It's already looking to be better!

However this past month has shown me weaknesses in my mod team that I would like to balance out so that we don't get a repeat of this month. So starting today I will be accepting MOD APPLICATIONS to take on two mods to help with the processes here. The application will cover most things I want out of mods, but above all I want people who are involved in this game. I don't mean posting and commenting every day, but who frequent this place enough that it's not a side stop for them.

So please, if you are interested fill out this application and send it in a private message to the mod account. I will be accepting applications until September 5th, and I will extend this if necessary but I think that's a suitable time period right?

---

Next matters!

Because of mod applications Activity Check is postponed until further notice. I can assure you it will not be taking place next month. There will be more to come on this later.

---

AND FINALLY.

Input!

How are you guys liking the game (aside from the mod fail)? Is it going well for you? Are there things you want to see us do as a game whole? Are there things you think we can do to make the game experience better for you?

Please, please, please let us know! I want to hear what you all think of the rp'ing experience here and what we can do to help.

I thank all of you for being wonderful and keep enjoying the game guys <3

I want to apologize for the slowness of applications and lack of a theme for this month. July blew by pretty fast for me, and the week I was meant to start the poll was the week LJ had problems. Then the week after that was, obviously, August. August is a horribly busy month for me due to family things, work, and moving back to school next weekend.

I am trying to get apps done and processed this week but it's taking some time. The next theme will be voted on on the 15th and started on the 20th and last until the end of September to make up for the lateness.

Activity Check will take place the last week of September. We will need to see 20 comments from each character to pass Activity check.

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience everyone! You are the best playerbase a mod could ask for.

So July's them is MATTERS OF THE HEART!!

The basic premise is that characters suddenly fall in love. It doesn't matter who it is or where he/she comes from, they're in love. Maybe they've always been like this, maybe they're going on their first date, maybe one of them has finally mustered up the courage to tell the other. However, like with any other good love story, there is always an obstacle.

Please feel free to use this post as a place to plot out interactions!
