Hello, everyone! We hope you all enjoyed that little taste of what living in another household would be like. Naturally, Mayfield still doesn't allow divorces in this perfect town; however, for those of you who'd like to change addresses on a more permanent basis, we're pleased to announce a much easier way of doing so via our new Housing Changes post!

Basically, for anyone who would like to change housing without having to canon update or reapp, you may now use this post to do so. As with normal applications, if you're requesting a specific new house, you will need permission from all the players in that house. You may also use this post if your character is changing slots due to aging up in Mayfield. Characters whose housing changes are approved will wake up in bed at their new address the next morning. Additionally, this post is just for OOC purposes; there is still no IC way to switch houses, no matter how much your character may wish it.

Please do not abuse this new form! While there is currently no limit to the number of times you may apply for a housing change, we will be assuming that anyone who does so intends to remain at their new address for the forseeable future; in other words, no switching into a different house for a week and then switching back just to see what it's like. We will be keeping track of how often a character changes houses and will impose a limit if we feel it is necessary. Thanks for your time!

• Welcome to your happy life in Mayfield! Here you have everything - the perfect family, the perfect house . . . and of course, the perfect job. What do you mean you don't have a job? Are you some kind of . . . well. We don't support those kind here, so it's probably best you're here on this page to sign up. Don't worry! As soon as you post here OOCly, your character will immediately be recognized as having that job (just like he or she has had for years) by the NPCs - and their bosses, naturally. Don't be late!

• Exceptions to this are the police officer and librarian jobs, which are limited to five at a time and require an application. We will also be monitoring the teaching jobs to make sure the positions held make sense; based on the size of Mayfield, there will only be one or two teachers per subject.

• Jobs can be held by most characters in Mayfield, excluding children. Adults can sign up for jobs they are qualified for, while teens will have part-time jobs available to them. Just like school, missing your job for more than 3 days in a row will result in a droning.

• As a note, many of the jobs are segregated by gender. In most areas of work, there will be jobs for men and jobs for women. While there will be a gender bias IC, we will do our best to keep opportunities for employment equal OOC.

• To sign up for your job, just comment under the Job Title you wish your character to have (as long as they meet the requirements). Happy job hunting, Mayfield!
