1:41 pm [bunny_hugger]	BunnyHugger and Austin's Engagement Party Ball Hello all, Austin and I regard Leap Day as a special date in our mutual history. There's a whole long story associated with it, and why it's one of the many dates that contend for the status of "our anniversary." If you are interested, you can read the saga here: http://bunny-hugger.livejournal.com/201389.html This is the first one that has come around since the initial incident that spurred our relationship, and we want to celebrate it in the place where that relationship was sealed. We will be holding an anniversary ball in the Starlight Ballroom of Edgeworld Park (S4 E10, mg, n, n, n, se, sb is one way to get there) tonight, 7 p.m. until whenever. Traditionally, February 29 was the date on which women could propose marriage to men, and any man not accepting was supposed to pay a forfeit. As this notion is out of date we will instead be celebrating "inversions of custom" and request that guests observe this theme however they choose to interpret it. There will be dancing, refreshments, and the possibility of karaoke, especially if the refreshments are taken advantage of. I hope to see you all there. Sincerely, BunnyHugger (and Austin) (Comment on this)

12:01 am [austin_dern]	I hope he'll let me ride along There's a bunch of news related to SpinDizzy server matters. It's probably best to cover them all at once. From: Morticon On: 2011-10-17 17:17:46 Spindizzians, Many of you are concerned about what's going to happen to the MUCK and web sites after the passing of Findra. This post is to give you more insight into what we're doing. The short answer is: SpinDizzy is NOT going away. The MUCK will stay up at all times with only a brief interruption during the move, and the web services will move soon after as well. ( Behind here are the further details of the moving plans.  ) From: Morticon On: 2011-10-18 20:22:08 A quick update: Everything is going well, and we expect to do the move of the MUCK itself tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. If all goes well, you'll get information at that time via the old connection on how to connect to the new server. The web services will not yet be moved, but will still function. If something catastrophic happens, I can switch it back at some point later that day and can try again soon after. *Morticon From: Austin On: 2011-10-18 20:39:01 As Morticon noted, we expect on Wednesday to move the muck to a new server. This is a rare event, of course, so we'll make it into an impromptu holiday. Please join us for a progressive party built around the theme of moving, starting at the Charter Park, which will be 'park' of the day, and moving as the wizard on the scene feels it's time to a new 'park'. Bring your best moving-related thoughts, costumes, and barrels. Austin And one further note. Multiple people have offered to help cover the costs of the new hosting. This is generous and kind, and it's heartwarming that the community has so many people who want to help so. For the moment we haven't any decision about whether or how to accept donations; as you may imagine, there are many things on our minds. Thank you all. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:04 am [bunny_hugger]	Findra The wizards have asked me to pass on this message. *** It is with grief and sorrow that we must announce the death of Findra, SpinDizzy's server wizard. Findra was our longstanding serverbunny, MUFcetan, and a delightful, kind person. Findra will be sorely missed by all of us as a personality, a friend, and a helping hand. There will be an on-MUCK memorial for Findra when we can arrange it. Please watch the board for updates about details on when this will be. With deepest sorrow and sympathy, Your SpinDizzy Wizards (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:00 pm [austin_dern]	The winner takes it all The 39th season of _The New Price Is Right_ opens Monday on CBS, in the United States. So let's get together and watch the season premiere together, shall we? We'll do this Tuesday evening, so set your DVRs and keep the episode around, or stream the video from the official CBS web site --- http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_price_is_right/video/ --- as the episode should be posted Tuesday morning. For those who haven't been to one of these before, it's a simple affair: we gather at the Mystery Science Theater (luge N10 W5; t), at the appointed hour (8:00 pm muck time, Tuesday), and watch the show. We comment on it as it goes. You can watch as recorded on TV, or as streamed from the web site above (United States viewers only). You will need to be in the United States and will need to have Internet bandwidth capable of streaming a whole segment to watch the videos. But you don't have to be watching the video to keep up with the conversation or even join in. You'll get the idea from listening to others. (Comment on this)

9:21 am [appalachianfox]	*hmms and taps on the board* How does this thing work? Greetings SpinDizzians, In this hot (for some of us) summer, one may be yearning for cooler times and a bit of silly fun. Rather than waiting for the winter season to come to us, let's bring winter to us by calling on a little Christmas spirit. Yes, let's have a Christmas in July celebration this Sunday, July 24. Details on this day are still pending, and I'd greatly appreciate feedback. Sincerely, Jax E. Neurocyon Current Mood: crazy (Comment on this)
12:00 am [austin_dern]	Come back to Eireann It's sadly time to purge the database of characters which have been idle too long. All the names here we believe have been absent for a year or more, so if you know who their players are or how to contact them please tell them to return here, or to notify a wizard, before Tuesday, 19 July. We never have enough people to just cast them aside. Adasyd Akeakami Alynna Anarururu Arcacya Armv Arryan Athalon Aunel B.J.

6:32 pm [bunny_hugger]	SpinDizzy News: Breaking Story The SpinDizzy News, http://news.spindizzy.org/ , has an exclusive on the apparent demise of Kelketek, including the full text of the letter he left for BunnyHugger before leaving for his apparently final mission. Besides this breaking news event, other recent articles include accounts of the recent Trivia Night competition, an expedition to Clockwork (another spindizzy currently landing on Centripedus), and the SpinDizzy Holiday Parade. Don't get behind on the news! Thanks goes out to our recent contributors, Claude and Morticon. Contributions are vital to help the newspaper be everything it can be. Please consider contributing an article today. It can be on anything from a big news event -- like Kelketek's explosive disappearance -- to a silly incident you witnessed in the Rose Garden. We are also open to columnists to provide recipes, reviews, or anything else of interest to the community. Just ask me, Findra, Skyler, or Jimun for a contributor account, in person or by page-mail. Anyone can have one and they allow both posting of articles and writing comments. All we need is a working e-mail address and your preferred username.

7:00 pm [austin_dern]	Unless you can't produce the wassail It's sad to say, the end of the Christmas season. So we're going to get together and do something about it. First, we'll gather in patchoblack's Winter Wonderland, the park of the day, for wassail and the wassailing of his apple trees. We wassailed the Ancient Oak last year, and this year promises to be better-fitting the ancient tradition except that we weren't able to do it on Twelfth Night proper. And once that's done we'll move to the Mystery Science Theater and take on a chapter or two of The Tale Of Fatty Coon, a 1915 children's book with the important moral point of ``don't read The Tale Of Fatty Coon. In this installment, Fatty Coon tries to eat, but is a jerk about it. You'll not believe your eyes. We've MiSTed the first several chapters in the past and enjoyed it greatly; why should this be any different? (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:20 pm [bunny_hugger]	Evening Parade Addendum! As you know, the SpinDizzy Holiday Parade is tomorrow at noon (server time)! I am planning to try an experiment by showing a "recording" of the parade in the evening, a pilot for possible future "event encores." But! I see no reason the evening event can't be a grand combination! People who cannot participate in the daytime parade but wish to enter a performance (and I know there are some) will be free to enter the evening parade. We will start with any live acts and follow with the recording of the noon event! (If you wish to watch or be in one of the parades but can attend either one -- please attend the noon one, that is really the "main event." Of course participants in the noon parade could also come to the evening event in order to see what they missed while they were waiting in the wings.) Everyone's welcome! Please come, to one or both, to watch or perform! (Comment on this)

4:15 pm [bunny_hugger]	Holiday Parade and Holiday Parade Viewing The SpinDizzy Holiday Parade is coming up on Saturday at noon server time. I have a few people who have talked to me about entering the parade, but I would like to get more entries! You don't have to talk to me in advance, just show up at event time and I'll tell you what to do. Balloons, vehicles, musicians, performers, floats, and anything else appropriate for a parade are welcome. Holiday decorations and themes are encouraged, but not required. What's that, you say? Can't make it to the parade? Then come to the Holiday Parade Viewing! The parade will be recorded and then played back holographically for the benefit of the night crowd at 7:30 p.m. server time on Saturday. The parade itself is being held in Downtown SpinDizzy (N1 E1; performers assemble at N1 E0). The recorded viewing of the parade will be held in the east midway of Edgeworld Park (luge edg, n, n, e). I hope to see you there! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:03 pm [bunny_hugger]	Exciting News Updates Here's a run-down on some recent updates to the SpinDizzy News, http://news.spindizzy.org/ : Centripedus Repair Crew Introduced, Repairs Commence (by Morticon) http://news.spindizzy.org/nwp/?p=1155 After a week of no noticeable activity from Centripedus authorities, Friday saw the official welcome. Arnold (a corgi) and Timothy (a boar), official representatives and high level managers from Centripedus, welcomed SpinDizzy to its temporary home... Services for Elation Debugging Offers Free Counseling Service (by Kelketek) http://news.spindizzy.org/nwp/?p=1159 The Services for Elation Debugging, a non-profit organization owned by the Society of Elite Defenders, is offering free counseling sessions to the public, claiming the services are for the ‘general wellness’ of SpinDizzy’s populace. Inclement Weather Stops, SED Claims Diplomatic Victory (by Kelketek) http://news.spindizzy.org/nwp/?p=1161 Recent weather patterns known to be not a part of the normal systems of SpinDizzy or Centripedus have been causing damage to structures and homes over the planetoid was revealed by the SED to be the work of a local community member’s experimentation... Strange Entities Drain Color from Local Residents (by BunnyHugger) http://news.spindizzy.org/nwp/?p=1187 An auction was held for the contents of three cargo containers picked up by the crew of the Freeloader before arriving on SpinDizzy. The items came from a border station and were in containers marked as “archeological artifacts” but their ultimate origin is unknown. The auction was conducted by Enkeli, ocelot, and ended with the accidental release of two alien entities that drained several people and things of all color... Centripedus Medical Personnel Inspect Rose Garden (by Morticon) http://news.spindizzy.org/nwp/?p=1184 Centripedus Medical Inspection Personnel, as indicated in the repair papers, combed over the garden to check for sickness and disease. Everyone present was poked, prodded, and questioned to ensure proper health... I have learned that there is some confusion among the public over when the newspaper is published. When I post one of these "recent updates," it is just a reminder for people who have not been looking at the site regularly. It doesn't mean an "issue" was just published. The paper is updated whenever articles come in, so the best way to keep abreast of the news is to check back regularly. You can also get an RSS feed if you want to get updates as they come in. Here are the RSS addresses: feed://news.spindizzy.org/nwp/?feed=rss2 (for entries) feed://news.spindizzy.org/nwp/?feed=comments-rss2 (for comments) If you don't have an account yet, why not ask for one today? It allows you to submit articles and to comment on other people's articles. Just ask me, Skyler, Findra, or Jimun. Sincerely, BunnyHugger Content Editor, SpinDizzy News (Comment on this)
