This group is partially closed/private

We are not actively posting for new members and we are only accepting certain apps.

Because we are partially closed/private if we don't accept your application that is the reason why. We are not engaging in conversation with people. Especially if they're associated with any PSA blogs.

We do not respond to OOC messages sent to our character accounts that relate to the main page.

We do not respond to harassing messages in IM or our ask box.

OOC posts are not permitted on our dashboard. If someone sends you an OOC anon ask please delete it. If there's a reason you think it should be answered/posted please ask the admins first.

Please like this post so we know you read it.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one that still has to post task paras but I have 2 left. Work didn't give me the opportunity today to do what I wanted because it's been so busy. Activity checks will be tomorrow so if there is anyone else who still needs to post task paras it's looking like you have until at least 10am tomorrow morning EST

New Offer

Going into 2020 we will now be offering an OPTIONAL new way to earn points and rewards. We will now offer every player an additional 500 points on their birthday, if they choose to share it with us, as well as other rewards. You will also have the option to have your birthday 100% private, just for the rewards blogs eyes, or have the main page make a happy birthday announcement when your day comes. We know that some people like more privacy than others when it comes to OOC life, which is why this is optional. If you would like to be added to the birthday rewards list please fill out the following form and submit it to us here at the rewards blog. Any forms sent to the main will be asked to resubmited to the rewards blog. 

Birthday Rewards:

500 points

1 activity check pass (if you end up on the warning list for any reason during activity checks you can message in and use your pass and be taken off the warning list)

1 line jump pass (if you request a plot and we ask you to wait because of a waiting list you can message in and use your pass and be moved to the top of the list. please note that we will ask the person who’s really next in line if they mind waiting but we don’t want to punish anyone, especially if they’re doing something time sensitive, so it’s possible both plots will go on at the same time. we will gladly offer the person who’s really next in life some points for the inconvenience of having to share a time slot if it becomes a problem.)

Your choice between a new member app pass (meaning you can do the 4 pick ups at a time like we offer new members) or a surprise pregnancy (this will be added to however many you still have available) 

Sign Up Form: (submit it here)

Name: 

Main Character:

About once a year we suspend the no anon rule to get some feedback from the group. Starting now until the end of the day Friday (December 14) we will be accepting anon messages with your comments and opinions on anything and everything involving the group. Messages will only be accepted to the player service page. Any messages sent to the dash will be deleted. Any rude messages will be deleted. Even if you’re unhappy with something there’s a polite way of explaining things. 

We want to know how you’re enjoying your time here in Carpe Diem and if there’s anything we can do to make your stay even better. Are there tasks or events you’d like to see the group do? Are you having issues with anything and haven’t had the nerve to send in an OOC problem form? Are you satisfied with the group and just want to tell us good job? These are the few days where you can send us all the CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM you’d like. 

None of the messages will be posted to the dash unless the message specifically says to for whatever reason. The admins are going to use the messages to help plan for an awesome 2019.

IMPORTANT

There are three players who haven’t submitted an auction sign up form. Sign ups closed yesterday but bidding doesn’t start until tomorrow so if those sign ups show up in the inbox before tomorrow evening they’ll be counted but if not all the characters who belong to those players will be blacklisted from the rest of the event and you will be given a warning for not participating in a mandatory group event. 

[cdcrpgjury]

Anyone who never messaged in to get their voting code who wasn’t listed on hiatus at the time will be receiving a strike for not participating in a mandatory group activity. 

[cdcrpgstarters]

If you’ve posted a starter recently that isn’t listed on the first 3 pages of the starter blog PLEASE send in the link so we can post it.

Going forward when you post a starter please send the link to the starter blog or tag the starter blog in it.

After much consideration of different ideas a decision has been reached on the future of the group. Obviously it would be nice to have more members and have a more active dash but real life is hard and there isn't enough time in the day to sustain that here. Having a place to play when there is time in your schedule has become the normal over the years and it's time to embrace that and stop putting expectations on everyone that we can't commit to. There's not a lot of change, but here's what's happening going forward because this isn't a "normal" roleplay group and some things need to be explained:

All active history will continue to stay. Active history means that someone part of the storyline/plot is still in the group and using the history. If everyone involved in a plot is no longer in the group then the history erases. Plot changes are allowed when all participants of the plot agree, or if you're the only one left from a plot and wish to change some of it to move forward without the other person/people.

We will no longer be actively posting for people to come join the group. If you need someone specifically for a plot you can let us know and we can make posts about that. Maybe once in awhile you may see us make a post looking for people to join, but because we are a history based RP with many celebs now whoever joins the group has to be okay with the history before being accepted.

Activity checks will resume once a month starting in January. If someone hasn't been active in 4+ weeks they will be put on warning and if someone hasn't been active in 8+ weeks they will be removed. We have a list of players who are grandfathered in, who won't be removed as long as they're staying in contact with us OOC and we have a way to contact them off of Tumblr (facebook, instagram, snapchat, phone number, ect) If you would like to be on that list you can contact us and as always if you need a hiatus you can submit the hiatus form.

We are still going to try to do events here and there but with the lack of interest in most of them we'd rather not waste so much time planning them if nobody is going to participate. If you would like your characters to host events the main puts on please let us know.

Things in this group have been and will remain lax. Everyone has a real life to live, a job, a family in some way and responsibilities. We're not going to pressure anyone to be on if they can't be. We're not going to punish people for not being able to be on every day.

If you are in the group though, or if you do end up joining the group, we do ask that you post and reply to starters, that you para with other characters, if you have characters who would know each other in real life have them interact sometimes, and please try to include everyone. Most importantly please give everyone respect and patience.

please like this post so we know that you read it.

Dear Players

Since day one of this group there has always been mandatory tasks and events. In the very beginning there was a new task AND event every month. I believe it was the year of 2016 Admins Lena, Elle and myself had the entire year planned by the end of 2015. We were so excited for all the things we planned and by the end of 2016 participation had started to dwindle. Every year since the amount of tasks and events we do has gone down and every time we do try to plan something people are either taking hiatus’ or not finishing things they start or just not posting event stuff. I know I am guilty of this as well in recent times. 

I’m trying to figure out where to go from here when it comes to tasks and events. I could think of things for us to do. Ideas I’ve had for years that other admins hadn’t wanted to do that I’ve always wondered if the players would actually enjoy it, things past admins have suggested we hadn’t gotten a chance to do yet, and I’m also open to suggestions. 

However, as I am the only admin now and real life is chaotic I don’t want to spend a whole bunch of time on something if the group as a whole isn’t going to participate. I was thinking of making a poll but I’d rather hear from everyone directly. I’m asking EVERYONE to message into this page through the IM feature and let me know your thoughts/feelings/concerns/suggestions on tasks and events for the future. 

If we do plan on doing an event soonish I don’t want it to be too soon and rush to plan. I was thinking we could do a Christmas event, New Years event or Valentines event. Or we could do nothing at all and just play our storylines. 

I don’t want to call this a task but it kind of is. I really need to hear from everyone ASAP.

Please and thank you

-Admin S

As a gift for the holidays everyone will be getting 1000 points

A reminder that all plot requests are to be sent via the Player Service Page, not the main page. Each form has a submit box underneath it. Here’s a complete list of the forms we have. 

OOC Problem - For issues with any players, admins, rules, ect.

Switching a Character - Switching is when you take a current blog you’re using for a character and you delete everything off that blog and you turn it into someone else. Making a completely new blog isn’t switching. 

Pregnancy - Both players involved must agree before form is submitted. 

Miscarriage - Both players involved must agree before form is submitted.

Abortion - Both players involved must agree before from is submitted

Adoption - This is for a brand new child into the game, not if you’re having someone adopt a preexisting child. (example: Jeremy asking Kendall to adopt Ava didn’t need a form, but if Jeremy and Kendall wanted to adopt a new child a form would need to be submitted)

Addiction - This is for things like drugs and alcohol. Sex addiction doesn’t need a form. 

Accident - Car, boat, fall or anything that would result in getting injured or needing to go to the ER to get checked out or admitted into the hospital for more serious injuries. 

Illness - Any serious disease (make sure research is done so you’re portraying it correctly) 

Hospital - If you request any plot that involves a hospital stay of some sort or you just want your character to go to the hospital for some reason this form needs to be submitted too. (Children do not need hospital forms but if you want to do a plot line where a child is sick and will need reoccurring hospital stays then forms will need to be submitted) 

History reset - If someone you picked up came with a backstory you don’t want or you want to completely start over.

Plotting - If you’re looking for plots we’ll try to set you up with someone else looking for a plot or help you come up with an idea. (Please have some type of idea of what you’re looking to do)

Special Promo Ad - If you’re looking for someone specific to come into the group for a specific reason this’ll help us advertise for them.

Other - If there’s any other kind of plot you want to do and you can’t figure out what form you should send, send this one. 

Our calendar is wide open right now so feel free to send in any requests! If you have any questions about any of the forms please send in a message. 

[cdcrpg-auction]

Hello everyone! We tried doing this event a few years ago but it didn’t turn out the way we had hoped so now we’re giving it another shot. This is a mandatory event so please be sure to read the info page to understand what you need to do. Sign ups are open for only 5 more days so be sure to get yours in. If you do not sign up any celebrities you will be blacklisted from bidding and will receive a warning for not participating. 

[cdcrpgjury]

Some Information

Before we officially open for claims here’s some important information everyone should know. 

Your unique jury code doesn’t show up anywhere. All it does is allow you to submit your vote to the polling site. All votes are 100% anonymous. 

On all voting polls there will be an “undecided” option for those who don’t feel comfortable voting on a particular case or can’t make a decision. 

This is a beta page. We’re going to see how it works out for a few months and if it’s not going well it will be removed. 

This page was designed to prevent ooc problems from happening. If two people or two characters aren’t able to come to an agreement with something on their own we feel it’s better to have the group vote than to have two players fight or have their ooc relationship get strained. 

If you have any questions about anything please message and like this post so we know you read it. 

[cdcrpgstarters]

Once again we apologize that there was no starter post made on Wednesday. We’re hoping to get one posted before the end of the day today but if not there will be one posted early tomorrow morning.

If you have https://the-psablog.tumblr.com/ blocked then you wouldn't have seen that I reblogged something and added an admin note. For that reason I'm posting it again here:

ALL history stays in this group. That has been a rule since day 1. It's never been a secret. It's a group rule to keep things fair to the players who have been in this group long term who have spent literal years invested in story lines. The only time history can be erased or changed is if all players/characters in a plot line have left the group or if they agree to change it and a plot change post is made from the main page. This group will be 10 years old in February, that's 10 years of history. In real life we can't just erase things that have happened. It is not realistic. We normally try to tell you the history before your application/follow is accepted/posted but in the rare case we can't get you the history at that point we get it to you shortly after you start playing. You always have the choice whether to accept the history and continue playing or to turn the character down. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes with new players, but this group respects the long term plot lines of our long term players. Also, if ONE more private conversation between me and another player ends up on the PSA blog I'm removing everyone in the group who I don't personally know in real life. I will close the group to any new applicants and we'll play as is. The drama and harassment is uncalled for and I've had ENOUGH.

Please like this post so we know you read it.

Just a quick little reminder if you reblog the meme you must send an ask to everyone who has reblogged the meme per your reblogs.

So if you reblogged it on one celebrity, you only need send out one question. But if you reblogged it 3 times, you must send out three asks to everyone who has reblogged it.
