Let's ring in 2014 with a bang, 'k guys?

First off - all smeared names and titles have been reset to reflect a new year - if you want one back, you'll have to re-earn it. Also, I've made it so you have to log into the forum again before accessing the site because I need to make sure you're reading these. Don't worry about the color changes, and please don't make comments about them -- if you have a serious issue with it, PM Mhairyn "Aryn" Dirson and I will discuss it with you in detail.

Secondly - OTM NOMINATIONS. Needed them like, last week.

Thirdly, these threads require your attention post-haste:

Reset Poll and Reset Q&A
Activity Check
New Member Database thread

And finally, I've posted an application for up to three new staff members here. Please copy the template, fill it out and send it to me via PM per the instructions in the thread.





Happy 2014 everybody!

Oh, and if you have changed your name to a holiday one, please return it to it's original display. Thank you.

Just to remind you all -- threads need to be wrapped up as soon as possible. Don't worry about starting/joining threads if you are not in them, but if you are in any, they need to be wrapped up in about two weeks so there is nothing left in the air about possible relationships.

Posted a thread with the new profile template for those wishing to get a jump on character recreation. Within the post are the various templates to be found, including an application for a noble house if you wish to have one. If you want, you can still fill out the house application for your own family histories, as well.

New theme for a new era! The new avatar size is 220 x 350, so please edit accordingly - if you do not have one in mind, there is a default one that you can use.

New mini-profile -- the intent with this one is to replace the need for linking in signatures, but I haven't been able to get it to work properly yet (still working on it on the test forum), so the application and plotter fields are gonna be a bit of an eyesore until then. But you should be able to edit in your character age, alias, and gender (under the sexuality heading) just fine.

the new board is posted so people can at least start working on their profiles in a more permanent fashion. later this weekend, i'll get the profile and ability guidelines posted, but they're pretty much the same as previously;; if there are any huge discrepancies, i'll let you know, but for now, until i get a moment to myself, it'll have to do. sorry!

there's a thread around here somewhere asking for which history you, all of you, need most from me, so that when i can get it all written up on sunday or monday, i'll do that bit first so we can get things going faster than they are now.

Those of you who had custom items prior to the reset - you can repost them in the item registration subboard to get them back with the standard, applicable changes to the new setting (though, if that's impossible or just not practical, a new item is acceptable too ^^) .

Additionally, if your current gold allows for it, you may also purchase a custom pet or item if you do not have one already. An amendment will be made to the Santa Mal Thread with your new item names, those with custom items, and total gold to transfer/use.

For those who have questions about the new system/profiles or anything you're not sure of with the changes that are going on, please do not post them on box. If you have a question or are looking for something you can't find please direct it to this thread. It's here to provide the answers to everyone who is after them, more importantly it saves us mods from having to repeat ourselves several times over.

Thank you.

This is the final call for all staff applications. You have until the end of this upcoming Saturday, February 1, 23:59 box-time (11:59 pm), to message your applications to me at this account (Mhairyn "Aryn" Dirson) per the instructions outlined in the thread, which can be found at the following link.
