Oooh yes <3 We have a spiffy new table for the announcements, courtesy of Pyro. This is here to showcase Tables, something Crow suggested in the admin boards about a year ago now. We all agreed to using them, yet somehow they never got rolled out, so we thought we'd use one today to brighten up the announcement. Feel free to use tables like this to indicate what cat you are using for an in-character post. Pyro will be opening a shop to make them AND will be recording a tutorial on table usage very soon! Let's brighten up the place!
Hey there everyone : ) We're way overdue and update, so I do believe it's time for me to fill you in on things.
Crow is a busy man
I have no doubt that most of you are now busy with work/college/school/university and the staff are no different. Both Crow and I are college level students now, and our patches of activity will vary wildly. Crow, in particular, no longer has time to do a significant amount around the site, so if you could send PMs to me, Whiskers or our wonderful moderators, that'd be awesome : )
Biographies
This is just a side note to notify you all. All biographies posted on the notification thread have been checked/accepted. Any applications not on the thread will not have been checked, so please put them up as soon as possible. However, unfortunately bio processing is likely to be a little slower than normal, because very few of our bio checkers have any online time. Please know that we are thinking of you and will get to your bio as soon as possible, but please be patient in the meantime : ) Thankyou.
There's a lot going on behind the scenes : )
Fogclan Plot
Spec and I are getting the Fogclan plot sorted. We're looking for new council members and followers in particular, so if you are interested in having a mini-ranking please post an application in the Fogclan Plot thread. We are now on PHASE 2 of the plot! This means that:
- Fogclan is now employing physical punishment as well as confessions to clear sins.
- Any person with a council member or follower may inflict wounds to sinners to 'purge' them of their sins.
- These wounds should not be big, and the amount of them should vary depending on crime size.
- Beatings are not permitted by the council (but will your cat play by the rules?).
The Fogclan plot is what you make it, so please make use of the setting and come up with your own unique roleplays : ) To get involved, up to date and apply for rankings, just take a look at the Official thread
Owlstar Auditions
As well as this, the Owlstar auditions will be getting under way within the next few days. The threads are written and ready to go : ) I shall link to it here when it goes live.
The Divide – Coming soon
Along with this, the staff are putting things in place for the beginning of the Meadowclan Plot – The Divide. Keep your eyes open for it!
Gathering
As you may have already seen, a new gathering has been started! As there has been a delay in getting the traditional initial leader posts, I have opened the thread up for ordinary cats to post : ) Remember you are allowed to bring whatever cats you wish to the gathering, however we ask that you refrain from bringing any 'rebels' from Fogclan along, as Miststar is unlikely to have given them permission.
So, what are you waiting for? Post on the Gathering
Of the Months
The new ~Of the Months have now been put up! Congratulations to Ember, Smokefur, WillowpawxDovepaw and Hardy for your respective ~OTMs! Crow will put them up on the main website as soon as possible.
Take a look at why they won here
Pineclan Medicine cats
Remember, applications for Pineclan Medicine Cats are still open! There are 2, maybe even 3, spots going for this ranking, so it really is worth a shot!
Ranking Backups
One issue we are currently having is members with rankings are absent when the rankings are needed in a situation. Therefore, we're currently trying to work out a fair system where people may foster rankings for the duration of the original player's absence if a cat is needed for an official post or plot purposes. We're not sure how we'll go about this yet – but if you have a ranking, please contact Rolo and say whether you are comfortable with your character being backed up by another member.
