ANNOUNCEMENTS & PLACEMENTS

Hello everyone!! I am here with cool announcements and cooler placements.

◆ First of all, AC is up, please do it when you can! If you have trouble with AC, don't worry too much about it, just poke me. I know ~~the entire year of 2025~~ October has been a rough one and since we're kind of leaning towards the endgame direction of limelight imo, I am not gonna be as crazy strict. Just communicate and we will be good!

◆ If you've been good with AC, and you wish to play a third, I'm cool with it! Just would prefer it to be on teams with teams that have lower counts on them. I would say 4 or less but it looks like we're not going to be there for now. ;) Stay tuned.

◆ December is gonna be full of gifts if I can manage, pray for me. I swear I'll get this done before this game ends or I'll die tryin-

◆ Also thank you everyone for your patience as always, October was also rough for me work-wise so I disappeared for a good chunk of it, but I hope to kind of get back into the groove.

◆ There will be a game from me on November 8th when you have the chance, please fill this out by the 7th.

◆ Cheshire is running a memory swap here. If you're interested in swapping memories, please make sure to sign up by tomorrow November 3rd. It will partake on November 14th-November 21st but you do not need to swap memories to particpate! Please look at the info for any questions.

◆ If you were participating in monster mash, you should do this for me in case I need it. Not a requirement but could be funny later. For reasons.

I feel like there was more, but I forgot. I'll come back if I remember.

[Event] Secret Vision Swap

It's me, Cheshire, and I'll be running a vision swap event from Nov 14-Nov 21. This will be a Secret Santa-style exchange where your character receives a ~anonymous vision~ and has to find its rightful owner.

This event requires some advance sign-up and prep, so please read on!

Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
