Sometimes IRL gets in the way of things, and that's okay! RL should always come first, and sometimes we have to step back from out pretend-y barbies on the internet. Please use this page to let us know what's going on.

— Retroactive Hiatuses will no longer be accepted without prior permission from Mods. Please contact either![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
singmod or singhelpers privately.
— Hiatuses must be for at least half of the month to be accepted as a 'hiatus check in'. This means you cannot post a hiatus for a week and use this to check in when you've had three or sometimes four weeks of the month to make AC.
— Hiatuses must be posted before the half-way point of the month for them to be accepted: ie. If you hiatus for the full month, you must state this before the 15th of the month in order for the hiatus to qualify. Otherwise, you will need to contact Mods for a retroactive hiatus.
— Players who need to speak to Mods concerning hiatuses are asked to keep the details/reasons for a hiatus to a general and simple explanation and do not need to give specific details. Mods do not need to know the intricate details of your personal/domestic/medical lives. Please be mindful of the fact your Mods are people too, who have their own lives and issues to deal with without shouldering the emotional burden of others purely due to the fact that we’re Game Mods.

Characters on hiatus have one of two options.
— Option 1 is a simple autopilot, where you character will go about their life as normal. They will be focusing on survival and getting through the day. They will not be harmed during this time.
— Option 2 will have your character go travelling with Methuselah. They will be unable to contact other characters during this time. This can come with benefits but also with risk. While your character can learn new skills with Methuslah needed for their survival, they can also fall foul to injury or illness. They may learn how to make snares, but could end up losing a couple of fingers to frostbite.
This is left to player choice, but we ask for players to submit their choice for mod approval in the issue of fairness. You're not going to become efficient in archery for a mild case of the sniffles, for example.

Sorry to see you go! Thank you for joining us here in Singillatim, and maybe one day our paths may cross again. If you're leaving us, you also have options of what you may like to do with your character:
— Option 1 is that on the next Aurora, your character will simply vanish and will return home.
— Option 2 is that your character permanently dies, by whatever way the player desires (ie. animal attack, hyperthermia, falling through ice).
— Option 3 has your character devoured by the Darkwalker, triggering a Darkwalker death event. This will have consequences further down the line for characters still in the game.
Please note that options 2 and 3 may mean you're deadlocking yourself out. You may choose to reapp the same character, but it will be without any CRAU from the first time round in the game. Choosing the Aurora option will mean you can pick up where you left off.
