This post will also act as a plot with me post for the week for both classes and missions. If you haven't already, please add your character's schedule to the master class schedule for ease of seeing who all's in each class.

Players are welcomed and encourage to make threads for a class or mission they wish to plan out and discuss what their characters may be doing during the class or mission to promote character interaction. Players may choose to handwave these interactions or play it out in a new log or action post if they so desire. Also, for the sake of organization, please label which week/class/day & time period your post is set in (EX: Week I, DAN 101, M0900) within the subject line.

Past lesson plans can be found on the Classes information page.

Again, should players have any questions/comments/concerns/suggestions, feel free to bring them up here (or via PM/AIM) and we'll do our best to address them in a timely manner.
