February 2012 News!

Did you know it was a Leap Year? They occur every four years because the earth actually takes 365 and a quarter days to circle the sun. If you’re a lady, you could have proposed to a man, but if you missed it you only have to wait till 2016. February is finally over, and spring is on the way...and you know what that means!



Open Characters Revamp

We've revamped the Open Characters list to provide expanded information about various parts of the adoption process, as well as to rehaul the information offered within the Open Characters list. If you had an advertisement, your information is still available! Please make sure to repost your information into the list as soon as possible -- your old information is available here.


RP Guide Edits
Read Only Thread Definition

We've given more stringent information about what constitutes a "read only" thread, as well as further information about threading between two of your active characters. The rest of the Roleplaying page has also been updated, but we wished to point to these changes in particular:

  • Read only threads are one post by one player.
  • Self threads are multiple posts by one player and their multiple characters. Each post within a self-thread must be 200+ words.
  • AIM/Chat thread information has been removed. We don't mind if you roleplay on a different venue than the forum; however, we feel the same end as an IM thread can be accomplished through "spreeing" and posting quickly back and forth together. You're still welcome to roleplay in private chat or over IM and post it to the forum.

Appearance Information

We've expanded on the Appearance section and included some information about changing a character's appearance -- we wished to specify we're okay with gradual changes (e.g., a black wolf becoming pale gray with age), but extreme and sudden changes (e.g., a wolf previously roleplayed as being completely black gaining a random white-furred leg) are not permitted.


Game Additions

The Word of the Day game has a new addition -- now, you can purchase a transfer token to move a title or icon between accounts, or an editing token to edit an existing title.


Pack leaders are also free to add transfer/edit tokens to their pack games; we suggest a price of approximately 100 points.


Public Service Announcements

Two PSA's were posted, primarily reminders about NPC usage and OOC posting in IC forums.


Table Sizes

During the last couple of months we've noticed an increase of character tables which exceed the maximum size of 500 pixels wide, and therefore stretches the older skins. We recommend members to go through the graphics section in our FAQ and re-familiarize themselves with our recommended table sizes. Thanks!


Spotlight and Community Soul

Congratulations to Marie, winner of Spotlight Soul for February 2012 as Aeron Ganesa. For more information, check out the Community/Spotlight Soul thread!

QUOTE (Relevant Tumblr question)
For the new 10 point rule on word of the day that lets you edit and move existing titles, would you need 20 points to move AND edit a title? Or would 10 points do it all?
You’d need 20 points to move AND edit. It’d be 10 points for the move, and 10 points for the edit. :>[/quote]
