News & Updates: April 2011

Joining Process Changes

As you may have noticed, 'Souls has radically changed its joining procedures. If you're still not up on the changes, check out our Joining Procedure changes. New and old members are encouraged to check up on and read the Procedures and Rules topics regularly to keep themselves familiarized with the processes at 'Souls. :3


The primary reason this was done is to facilitate the joining process to 'Souls -- roleplayers are sometimes confused by the IC joining process, and we feel a simple game application will make things easier on them. Additionally, 'Souls has been getting quite a few new members lately -- some of them are a bit confused regarding our roleplaying conventions, and hopefully, administrative evaluation of all joiner applications to the game will lessen these confusion issues.


Any questions, comments, or feedback regarding the new joining procedures are quite welcome. :3 Feel free to reply here with your feedback or send a Private Message to the 'Souls Assemblage account. Anonymous feedback can be fed through the Formspring, but we prefer open dialogue!


Mentorship/SWC

In addition to the joining changes, we've also changed our Mentors program quite a bit -- their grand roll-out is underway, including various changes that have already taken place, as well as some upcoming changes, potential contests, and other fun stuff to help new and old members improve their writing and integrate into 'Souls community. Smile

  • New Mentors: We'd like to thank the new mentors for all their assistance in getting things up to speed. Thanks to Alaine, Bobbi, Fae, Lin, Marit, Meghann, Noelle, and Sunny!
  • Mentors Graphics: The Mentors now provide Graphics Requests for characters with less than six weeks of membership. Check out their Table Templates, too!
  • Other Changes: You may have noticed the mentors icon, the small green Luperci! Her name is Yodaperci and she now decorates the Mentors' titles as well as the Questions and Help forum introduction!

There's likely quite a lot more on the way from this awesome group of people, so do keep your eyes peeled!


New Skin!

We have a new skin, End of Days. Post-apocalyptic themes FTW! The background header used is the painting Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, by Viktor Vasnetsov. As it was painted in 1887, the copyright has expired on it virtually worldwide -- ever thought about using old art for your table graphics?


Paid Art Directory

Check out our new Paid Artists Directory. Many artists roleplay at 'Souls and would be happy to take commissions of character images. We'd like to promote and help our artists out -- buyers can also benefit from a listed format of any commissioned artists at 'Souls! If you're a member of 'Souls and you draw, paint, sculpt, or otherwise create art, feel free to list yourself in the directory!
