Team Shuffle & Announcements
Hey shippers!
This is the Team Shuffle post. Feel free to beg, bribe, cajole, and convince others to join your teams here! But hang on a sec, we've got some announcements first.
A lot of you have started bonding on your team comms, which is great! We wanted to suggest a few questions for you to ask while your team is still getting to know each other. All of this stuff is pretty basic and necessary, but you'd be surprised how often people forget to ask!
*Quick reminder that 'male pronouns' and 'female pronouns' aren't really a thing that exist; for example, people who are female use a variety of pronouns, and not everyone who uses 'she/her' is female!
If you haven't joined your team community (and your palhoncho has already created it), please get on that ASAP! If you do not join by June 1, 11:59PM EDT, you will be considered a no-show and your sign-up will be rendered invalid. The only exception is for communities that form less than 48 hours before June 1, 11:59PM EDT; they will be given an extra 24 hours to sign up.
And lastly, some of you know this already, but we're disallowing team switches starting on June 1, 11:59PM EDT. This is in order to give the mods 24 hours to sort out final team rosters and prep the spreadsheets before the games begin in earnest. You can still switch teams after the HSO starts, but you must follow the procedure outlined in the FAQ. If you are not on a confirmed team by June 1, 11:59PM EDT, your sign-up will be considered invalid and you will not be able to participate in HSO 2012.
On May 28, in 10 days, we'll be asking people to contact their palhonchos for a roll call, either on your comm or via email. If you do not respond within four days or arrange for your absence beforehand, you will be considered a no-show and your sign-up will be rendered invalid.
