Hello Havenites!
For the players who have joined the game since May, my name is Blue and I am the original founder and moderator of Haven. Unfortunate life circumstances meant I had to leave the game in the hands of a temporary moderator for a few months (Ruki, who did spectacularly!), but I have now returned to you.
As of now, I will be recommencing my role as head moderator, and Ruki will be stepping down to a helper moderator position to assist with various duties - for further information on what the mods all do, you can check the mod contact page, which lists our respective duties by our names.
I have one or two things to talk about with you all, so I'll get right down to it.
Firstly, the upcoming events for August and September. For those of you who have seen the calender, you may have noticed that August 8th is listed as the "start of a two month event". In order to celebrate Haven turning one year old in September, the next two months will contain a slow build up of small events which will culminate in a climax in mid September. Although this is a "two month plot", the mini events and plot reveals will be spaced so the game is not on a continual go.
This means that there is no formalised event in August. There will be several plot occurrences, some of which will need player sign ups, some of which will change the setting. Any such occurrence will be announced at least three days in advance so players are OOCly aware, so please keep an eye on the OOC community and (if you use it) plurk.
Which brings me to the other thing I wanted to discuss with the playerbase as a whole. Before I left I didn't have a designated mod plurk, but because it would have been unfeasible for Ruki to friend the entire game, one was made just before I handed over. Now that I am back I would prefer to go back to using my plurk (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
yoohoohoo) - the reason for this is that I feel I can interact more enthusiastically and personally about the game and the events this way, whereas the mod plurk has an essence of faceless and impersonal professionalism which I dislike and which I feel encourages a distance and lack of interest on my part.
However, I know that a lot of the playerbase may prefer a designated mod plurk and so I am more than willing to keep it running if a majority want it, as I want to do what's best for the game. Please vote in this entry by replying to the designated heading. Vote YES if you do want the mod plurk. Vote NO if you either do not want it or do not mind it going back to the way it was. I will tally the votes on Friday at 7pm EST.
And just as a reassurance, although I am taking a vote on this, it is not necessary to have a plurk or to have a mod plurk friended to participate fully in the game. All announcements and event plottings will be done via the OOC community as always.
Finally, I just want to say how glad I am to be back. I missed you all so much, and I missed moderating this game a lot. And once more a massive thank-you to Ruki, and to the helper moderators, who kept the game running so well. To celebrate, here is a love meme, go and spread some love to your fellow Haven players.
As always, please feel free to leave any comments, questions, or concerns in this entry underneath the polling questions.

Keeping it the way it is would be nice.

We already have the mod account on DW for that kind of formal stuff-- we don't really need one for plurk as well.
NO (or don't mind)
I don't think you necessarily need to put on a super professional and distant appearance with a mod-plurk, though! Never hurts to inject personality into the convenience of a plurk specifically for game announcements 'n stuff. Pros and cons to both.
Sorry, this is a lot of text from a newbie. Great to have you back!
