REECE WORTHINGTON’S FC is changing from JAY LYCURGO to JONATHAN DAVISS.

[bprpg]

Hello! I hope everyone is having a lovely day today.

There's something we want to talk to everyone about regarding posts and replies.

It is very important that everyone read this post in full, so please do so! We'll be able to tell who has and who hasn't, and anyone we notice hasn't read it will receive a link to this post via tumblr and discord until we know it's been read. You've been warned!

As you probably know, Tumblr launched a new post editor a couple of years ago that hasn't been officially, fully implemented onto the site. Because of this, when making posts and doing replies, some of us are still able to toggle on and off between the legacy editor (the one we've been using for years now) and the new one. However, back in May, tumblr announced that they would start removing the legacy editor for some users, meaning that the eventual takeover of the new post editor is inevitable. Because of this - and a lot of reasons that we will go into further detail below - we think it's time to say goodbye to the legacy editor and only use the new post editor when posting starters and doing replies.

The thing is, as much as we love the legacy editor (RIP), you've probably noticed that sometimes using it to reply to posts that were created with the new post editor will make them a bit... wonky, to say the least. Your reply will appear twice, maybe the entire post will duplicate and then be impossible to delete (or simply require too much energy to fix). It complicates things for everyone. It's not anyone's fault! It's Tumblr's updates. It's also very hard to know when a post has been made using the legacy editor vs. the new post editor, so it's impossible to know whether a reply will work or not. To make things easier for everyone, I think it's important we all switch to the new post editor starting effective immediately.

Here's a couple of questions you might have.

Does XKit work with the new post editor?

The short answer is no. At least not the New XKit, the extension we've been using for ages now. If you've been roleplaying for a while, you probably remember there was an extension simply called XKit before New XKit came about, which was back when tumblr changed their post format the last time circa 2015. They got rid of blockquotes in reblogs! Remember? You couldn't edit your partner's reply even if you tried. And they did it again, except this time, it was a little harder to fix, so New XKit is no longer working with this new format. Reblogs using the new post editor look differently now. You can see an example of the difference below.

Does that mean I can't cut posts anymore?

Nope! You still can. The process is a little different, but if we're all using the new post editor, it shouldn't be very complicated.

You can use something called ✨ XKIT REWRITTEN ✨

It's another extension! (everyone say: thank you devs)

Because we are no longer allowing anyone to use the legacy editor, I would encourage everyone uninstall the New XKit extension you have and replace it with this one. It has basically the same features as the last one and is very user-friendly!

Download for Chrome

Download for Firefox

How does Trim Reblogs even work?

You can find a guide to using Trim Reblogs that explains it a million times better than I ever could right here. We'll have it linked in the resources channel on the discord as well, in case you need to check it out.

What about my current replies using the legacy editor?

Because we know you have active threads using the legacy editor, we'll allow you to play those out still using New XKit and editable reblogs, but any and all starters going forward have to be made using the new post editor. If your replies with your partner are duplicating or not working, you can either continue to write them that way, removing any duplicates if possible, or reach out to them and ask them what they want to do; try to figure something out that works for both of you.

So, TL;DR (but I DO hope everyone read this!):

Using the legacy editor will no longer be allowed in the roleplay. If you are currently using the legacy editor in replies, finish those but going forward, please post every starter and reply using the new post editor, install XKit Rewritten and toggle on Trim Reblogs to be able to cut your posts.

If you have any questions at all regarding this new rule (because we'll be adding it to the rules shortly with updated information and links to everything you'll need) please feel free to reach out to us!

To make sure everyone read this, I'm going to go very Tumblr 2012 and ask you to like this post and send me a discord message with a picture of your favorite animal. Thank you.

AMY ZIMMERMAN is looking for their OLDER BROTHER

Character name:

Amy Zimmerman

Type of connection:

Older brother

Connection name:

Barrett Zimmerman

Age:

32

Faceclaim:

Anybody who fits Madelyn Cline's ethnicity and is older than 30

Background:

When their parents died Barrett took over the role of a parent, especially after their aunt died a few years later. Amy is all the family he has left so she's most important even when they annoy eachother and get on eachother's nerves. She was troublesome when she hit her teens but things are now fine with them. He's a solo singer, likes to play guitar on stage, and tours every year. He had an ex fiance that cheated on him, they were highschool sweethearts. He was handed down Oceanview Inn from his aunt but after a long talk with Amy, handed it to her so he could pursue a career in music. He helps out when he's not touring. They're - both Amy and Barrett together - are like clowns with big shoes when they're up to no good, especially when Amy gets Barrett into shenanigans or when they both freak out because of scary movies and try to convince the other they're fine. They also recently last year transitioned from a parent/child like relationship to actual siblings. They also both try to hold up their family name, seeing as their parents often held dances etc and were respected amongst the town.

Hello, everyone!

We know it's been a quiet couple of months, but we hope you know in your hearts and souls that the admin team is still fully dedicated to Barton Point, our beautiful little town. We love this roleplay, we love your characters, and we love what we've created here and how much we've grown BP into what it is now.

Life has unfortunately been getting in the way of a lot of plans we made (which we're still planning on implementing, we promise!), but one important discussion we had a while back - and a promise made to a lot of you when the roleplay opened last year - was that we would be opening the doors to Barton Point eventually. While we're not fully ready to open the doors to the entirety of tumblr, we do want to open it up to new members. What does this mean, exactly? Well, we want you to feel free to invite anyone you have roleplayed with in the past, friends you have that you would like to write with here, people you trust; anyone you feel would bring something very special to Barton Point is welcome here. Send them a link to the main, tell them what Barton Point is about.

We're very excited about this change and can't wait to welcome your friends and their characters to our sweet, little safe haven just off the coast of Maine. We hope they can find a home here.

Other details.

HOW LONG HAS YOUR CHARACTER LIVED IN BARTON POINT?: Miles has been in Barton Point for just over a year now, having moved to the States to live by with his uncle Ronnie from his deceased mother's side of the family. Originally, he's from Tufnell Park, London, having lived for there for practically his whole life alongside his father Ajani. He moved to Barton Point after a life-changing knee injury forced Miles to give up his dreams for playing professional English football. With his relationship broken down with his football-mad father, his uncle offered him a fresh start during this weird stage in his life. He lived with his uncle for the first six months when he arrived in Barton Point but now lives in his own apartment thanks to his football savings.

WANTED CONNECTIONS (optional): All types of connections for Miles are welcome please and thank you, message me on discord if you wanna plot <3

ANYTHING ELSE?: While Miles had always been the outgoing, cocky centre of attention type, he’s been struggling mentally ever since he arrived in Barton Point due to his knee injury. Having been groomed to play football his whole life, he feels so out of place and not knowing what he’s going to do with himself now he can never play again. If your character is a massive football / soccer fan, they might recognise him as he played for one of the bigger professional football teams in England, Arsenal. He’s only started working for Barton Point High as a coach a month ago and already is finding it difficult transitioning from being a youthful player to a sideline coach.

HOW LONG HAS YOUR CHARACTER LIVED IN BARTON POINT?: Levi was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire but grew up in Barton Point. He moved there when he was 3 and doesn't remember much about his life in Portsmouth.

ANYTHING ELSE?: Despite being very friendly and outgoing, Levi was kind of an asshole growing up. Not intentionally, he just had his group of friends from soccer and that was it; he never really branched out or tried to befriend other people because he didn't care to know any more people. He wasn't a bully or anything like that, just...closed off. This changed after high school, though, with a lot of his friends moving away for college, he had to get out there and make more friends. He's still very much in his own world at times, mostly because he's very FOCUSED on his own things and plans, but he's very good at making friends, it's something that comes easily to him. He's a good listener, deeply loyal to those he cares about, and he's very passionate about the things he likes. He really wants to have his own food trucks one day, maybe a restaurant, but right now, he just enjoys cooking wherever he can, catering for events too.
