Announcement: Happy Halloween, everyone! It's that time again. As is the case every year, Halloween is a special out of character day. That means you can talk out of character on any channel for the day without the fear of receiving an OOC warning. Random masks will be forced upon you throughout the day, but if you prefer not to be subjected to rapid changes of identity, you have options! First and the most boring, you can go to Styx in the MUD on Pax where you can keep your regular name for as long as you stay there. Your random mask will be restored if you leave. Second and a bit more fun, you can go to the costume palace on Acosta and buy a custom costume. As long as you're wearing it, your mask will not change to a random one. Since these costumes can be out of character, they'll disappear when Halloween is over. If you have any other custom costumes such as those from previous in character costume contests, those costumes will also work. Don't forget to say "trick or treat" to receive some delicious or maybe not so delicious candy! If you want to relive the thrill of going trick-or-treating, you can visit the various ships in the starship museum on Varoshna, knock on the display starships, and receive fabulous treats! Also, watch out for the ghost of Rory Hurricane! Finally, buy a candy bucket or bag on Acosta to store your treats, and make sure it's in your hand when you receive them! Have fun!

Announcement: Good afternoon, soundpack users! With acknowledgment of all the immersion-shattering shenanigans that may ensue, designated soundpack metafrequencies as shown in @SOUNDPACKS will now work regardless of whether you're in communications range or not. Beware, any non-soundpack-related chatter originating from those who are out of comms will result in OOC warnings, and this system may change at any time. Happy soundpacking!

Announcement: Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war. Blockades, interdictors, and proximity weapons may now be used in all capital sectors and Sector 12 at any time during Combat Day without fear of retaliation of planetary defenses. Go forth and stir chaos!

Announcement: Oh, hello! Miriani has turned 19. Where does the time go? As our usual form of celebration, we'll be enabling Combat Day! What's that, you ask? Well, it's a day of out of character friendly competition in the form of space combat. Starship stores have a shiny free ship available for you to buy. You then hop into it, launch, and find somebody to fight to the death. This is an opportunity to practice your combat skills without fear of retaliation or financial ruin. Points are awarded for each opponent you destroy and points are lost when you yourself are destroyed. You also lose a point for every hour you don't fire a shot. You can see your current standing by typing COMBATDAY and see others' by typing @COMBATDAY. A delightfully confusing distinction (notice the @ sign in the second command). If you find yourself out of comms and thirsting for violence, you can type COMBATDAY to return for the day. Finally, because this is all crazy and out of character anyway, you're free to be out of character on all communicators. Just be sure you follow the other policies regarding the treatment of others. At the end of the day, the person with the most points will receive a prize somewhere between 'oh, that's neat I guess' and 'my, how fabulous'. Have fun!
