The Wellstone Post
Welcome to the Wellstone Post! We have an exciting announcement in store for you today!
If you’re interested, join the game discord! It’s a good chill time.

wellcomms!
Several of our intrepid characters have finagled a network of walkie-talkies together, with a hub set up in Aizawa's room in the Staywell.
You read that right: Well now has a network! It lives inwellcomms. You'll all get an invite to the network comm shortly. Accept the invite and subscribe to wellcomms. You can start using the network for walkie-talkie posts immediately.
The bulletin board will also move towellcomms, and a new bulletin board post will go up monthly starting in January.
OOCly, you don't need to do anything but join the comm! Take a look at the instructions to learn how to use the new network.
ICly, characters with existing walkie-talkies will need Dax to alter their walkie-talkies to work with the new network. You don't have to thread this out: Just assume that your character left their walkie-talkie with Dax for a day, or spent a couple hours with her while she fixed it up. Alternatively, walkie-talkies sold in the General Store now come able to connect to the network, and can be picked up to replace any non-altered walkie-talkies. Dax will show anyone and everyone how they work, the hub in Aizawa's room, and anything else they want to know about the new network.
This network connects walkie-talkies, which do only what walkie-talkies do. You can only use them for in-the-moment audio communication. No text, no video, no recordings. You can send "private" communications, but that just means they're not on the main frequency. Note in your post if you want your post to be truly private.
Go forth and talk...ie.

Activity check
Activity check opens on the 1st, and will be extended until the 8th of January. If you need more time due to the holidays, let us know.
Activity check is the same as always, with these additions:
1. Like the bulletin board notes, walkie-talkie comments can only count for up to half of your AC proofs.
2. All threads used as proofs must have at least 3 comments from your character.
Anyone who was hoping for a respite from the chill will be left disappointed. The soft snows of the previous month freeze into hard-packed, deep-frozen banks. All that cold deepens into something that doesn't just sink into you: it stabs through you the moment you step outside. Even a standard journey to the pub becomes a brutal affair.
Icy winds whip down the streets and alleys of Wellstone, slamming into people like a sledgehammer. The cold is so thick and pervasive that spending more than a few minutes outside is liable to slow you down and make it difficult to move. When the wind is still, the distant crack and groan of breaking ice snaps through the air.
The snow, too, is relentless, coming down thick and fast and freezing quickly. It's less a gentle merry snowfall and more the bare beginnings of a blizzard. Tread carefully, everyone. It's going to be a rough, cold month.
