A month?

Dammit, I'm failing.

I'm sorry I haven't been on, but I've been agonizing over schoolwork for a while now (stupid Science). But I'm back. Thanks to the people who have been keeping things running smoothly.

So, weeks of not updating is causing me pain... trying to find every person that joined in the last month is very tiring. But please welcome Mousepaw and Leafkit of WindClan, Ringtail and Echokit of RiverClan, and Leaping Frog In Pond (Leap) and Bluebird Over Waterfall (Bluebird) of the Tribe.

If I missed you, this time I want you to pester me. Just stop when I ask, 'kay?

I cleared the necessary chatboxes, so thank you to those who reported them to me. Keep it up!

Also, we have an issue of utmost importance: Should we or should we not get rid of the Tribe? For one, nobody ever roleplays. And secondly, it can't contribute to the plot. It's miles and miles away from the lake cats, so they can't ever take part in the plot.

So, I've brought it down to this. Tribe cats, you have exactly one month from today to be more active. If I don't see a definite increase in activity, I am closing the Tribe and scattering your characters.

For this time, I don't want anyone else joining the Tribe; it will spare all of us clogged computers and hours of work on my part.

If anyone has an objection, I'd love to hear it. But for now, peace, love, and Santi,

~~Dawny~~

Taken from the 30 Seconds to Mars website:

"Still fighting the good fight here in the City of Angels. Working nonstop in the laboratory, experimenting with any and everything. So many exciting things happening we wish we could share them with everyone all the time. Yes, there are those days filled with more questions than answers and a healthy amount of self doubt but we think this is the absolute best thing we have ever done to date. Now it's just about finishing. About commitment. About surrender. You know the drill. This part of the story isn't too different for all of us around the world. I guess it just depends how the light falls.

So, sorry to say it doesn't look like we will have a record ready to put out this year....

...just kidding. Hehaw. It'll be done momentarily and out sometime this summer. Woooohooooo! We cannot wait. So many secrets to tell about what we have been up to. Soon....

The EMI situation is still the same unfortunately. They are still intent on suing us for 30 gazillion dollars and we are still intent on fighting for what we believe in. We had hopes for some sort of resolution by now but it's not yet meant to be. We have prepared ourselves for whatever outcome may transpire and although we welcome continued conversation and compromise we remain ready for the battle for what is right and true.

Whatever happens we promise you all one thing. This new album will be out this year. No. Matter. What.



We miss the road and all of you very much.

XO

I cannot tell you how frickin' exited I am. And that Kerrang! looks pretty nice, too (blink-182? NO WAY!).

Hai thar. Please welcome Silversky of ShadowClan and Moonlight of RiverClan! And thanks to Polarstar for being very on top of things. Also, thanks to Cherryleaf and Milkpaw of WindClan for being active(-ish). <3's to Mirukugoben for being awesome, to Ambertail and Dawnstream for following the grammar rules, and CB for being luff. Endless (lol, get it? Haha...) thanks to Redfern and Shadowflight for being active (although Redfern is gone on Lent).

I felt the need to do that.

Anyway, on a more serious topic: chatbox clearing. I have seen many people posting: "I am clearing this chatbox because of bad words," etc., etc., so on, and so forth. And it's really, really, really hella annoying. Please, please, please DON'T DO IT. It's a major hassle for me to clean that up and it's considered spam, which is a strikable offense. I have had to clear multiple chatboxes because of attempts to clear chatboxes. The only person who can seriously and truly clear a chatbox is me. In the future, notify me on the homepage, etc. and direct me to the box that needs clearing, or tell a mod, who will in turn tell me. Don't try and clear it up yourself, it only makes it harder for me and everyone else.

That's it! Peace, love, and Santi,

~~Dawny~~

* Approximately.

You know, it was really fun going through all the comments. It was like, "Ah, the good old WindClan activity. Look, a Tribe cat!" And hell, was I a little, self-obsessed n00blet back then. I think I should apologize about that.

I have to thank my friends Riverstar, Sunstar, Sorrelstream, Shadowclaw, Graytail, and Leaf. Thanks for being very supportive and helping out a whole freaking ton.

Next to the mods: Riverstar, Sunstar, Brightshadow, and Polarstar for helping me and being awesome.

Also, to my family for letting me spend way too much time on the computer.

Last, but most definitely not least, to all of the Chat Cats for being on here and being great support for me. You guys rock my world.

So, I would have something from Photoshop for you, but I haven't had any tim, as I got back this afternoon. One tomorrow, maybe?

Again, I love you all, and you are just... too awesome for words. Congratulations to us!

Peace, love, and Santi,

~~Dawny~~

Very important news for you guys: We have a new mod! She goes by Polarstar (Aurora) and roleplays Blackpaw, Bluepaw, Whitestrike, and Tigerstar. Her modship was earned after purging the Tribe (just thought I'd let you guys know what happened). We are very welcome to have her on board with us!

I'm going to start using my blog as archives for these updates, starting from the furthest update to the bottom (starting 10/18/08), so you can check them if needed. Sorry about the f-list spam for my followers, but it needed to be done. >.>

I updated the Clan Members page as best as I could. So I'm getting ready for tomorrow! Don't know what's tomorrow? Check the dates. Peace, love, and Santi,

~~Dawny~~

((Yup, sorry about the f-list spam. Sorry, sorry, sorry.))

I HAVE DELETED THE FOLLOWING CATS: Moonshadow of ThunderClan; Moonstream, Morningfire, Dawnwish, and Emberfoot of RiverClan; Laurelpelt and Woodstream of WindClan; Starwish, Lionpaw, and Shadowedmist of ShadowClan; and Flower, a loner.

All the deleted cats may try again. High positions are being filled ASAP.

Sorry to be short, but my mom's getting pissed. Peace, love, and Santi,
