Hey everyone! As promised, we're getting a headstart on this one because ~~I tend to procrastinate putting these up until halfway through the month~~ a lot of people voted for some of the early weekends last round. Last round was a little wonky, mostly because I probably didn't do a great job of emphasizing the schedule change, SO I figured we'd make it more explicit this poll and also give y'all another chance to express what you think about Sat-Sun Rushes (our normal arrangement: Fri eve-Sun eve in the Americas, Sat morn-Mon morn east of the Meridian) vs. Fri-Sat Rushes (Thu eve-Sat eve in the Americas, Fri morn-Sun morn east of the Meridian). Also, reminder for the newbies that you can absolutely vote for more than one option!

It's a little strange having more weekend left, but we've vanquished another round! Do gloat over your accomplishments and as always remember to thank your mods:

WerebunniesBane
Rainbow Fairy Godpenguin
Dumpling Procurer
Neon Sparkle Ninja
Supreme Tea Temptress
Bringer of Penguins,
and this Round's Champion Usurper.... the Void! Truly one of our wibbly-wobbliest, timey-wimeyest rounds.

*runs in* SORRY we are open! Join us on the other comm!

xandromedovna

Okay so it's more or less a tie between this weekend and March 8-9 so... both? Let's do 92 this weekend and revote on March next week? Mods, will anyone be around this weekend to cover shifts? I can probably open and close. Also if you want to try your hand at usurping, let me know so I can give you mod access!

xandromedovna

Hey y'all! So there was a request to try out a Friday/Saturday (GMT) schedule this time instead of Saturday/Sunday, and I thought we'd give it a go. If it works, we can add it as an option in the future, and even if it doesn't, we could always use some wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey fun.

Mosey on over to our other comm and drop us a line (or a squiggle)!

And the winner is... Jan 19-20! Mods, please consider claiming anchor posts; I can take last hour and the wrap-up posts. If you'd like to be a mod, please let us know so we can give you posting access!

ETA: I was mistaken in calling the poll in favour of Jan 19-20; the winning weekend by a longshot was clearly TICKY. BOX. I apologize for this egregious oversight and beg Her Majesty the Queen Mod's and the royal menagerie's forgiveness.

xandromedovna

Wow, that was a long nap! At any rate, new year, new Rush! When in 19 should we have 91?

Despite a dedicated contingent of squirrels, well, squirreling away hours, aided by rogue penguins, we still had a lovely round. Do brag about your accomplishments in the comments, and as always don't forget to thank your mods:

Pinstriped Fish Defender

Neon Sparkle Ninja
Inkstone, who is the newest member of the Mod Squad and gets to choose a Pretentious Title (and also had an impressive showing their first time out!)

Head on over to the Hour One post, grab your glowstick and let's get 'Rushing!

Well there was a tie between this weekend and next weekend in the poll. Obviously it won't be this weekend, so who will be around to help with 'Rush next weekend?

Greetings Friends! Round 89 has come to a close, and now is the time to share the fruits of your labour. Did you write words? Did you stitch stitches? Did you discover a secret tunnel full of plot devices? Please tell us in the comments!

And, as always please thank your mods:
Pinstriped Fish Defender, who single-handedly held down the first 9 hours and is by far the Champion Usurper this round!
Best-Led Mouse
Supreme Tea Temptress

So, let's not let a hurricane stop the 'rush!

juliet316

With the Hurricane Florence due to make a major impact on the East Coast this weekend (and I'm one of those on it's path), I wanted to know if everybody still wanted to go ahead with Round 89 this weekend or postpone until a later date?

juliet316

So the clear winner of the run-off poll is September 14th - 16th.

Who thinks they will be around that weekend and who's up for a bit of mass usurpation during that round?

juliet316

Since there's a tie between two of the weekends (and one of them being this weekend), I'm going to make a run-off poll between the two weekends.
