Hey guys. Just letting you guys know about a recent change that went on. And no, it's not Zorg logging in and changing everyone's background to Christmas. I am basically doing a hostile takeover.

What I am referring to specifically is taking over while Scott is away. Staff hiring, loans, competitions, etc. No, this does not mean Scott is no longer with us. He is simply away right now and will return eventually. Until that time, I am stepping in.

So, what does this mean for you guys? The short answer is: any issues that you guys needed Scott to resolve, they go to me for now.

Some things I already have to deal with include:
-GWC rewards
-Getting a certain someone ready for Halloween
-Hiring new Volunteer Helpers (most likely 2 new hires)
-Sorting out things that people will most likely send me that they had sent to Scott but have heard nothing about.

Again, this doesn't mean Scott has left us. It just means that I am fulfilling my duties as Assist Lead Helper while he isn't around. Be seeing you guys around

The Gang War Championships are now live. So let the carnage begin.

Just a quick reminder, this is simply a competition that lasts for seven days to see which gang can acquire the most warfare points in that time.

Good luck to everyone.

A new competition for gangs will be revealed in August, it will push gang rivalry and should promote in-gang communications. More details will be published later, and a full wiki page will be made explaining what exactly... Gang Warfare Championships are

On another note, the official Werewolf Competition has been posted, you can find it in the Game Forum, with more information on the wiki (click). Please read Will's post as it contains clear instructions

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! (+1 if you get the reference). We're still going through staff apps with interviews starting today, still have a lot of tickets to go through so if you havent had a reply to your app yet do not worry.. you will soon.

We've also accepted that we have somewhat been a bad parent to our facebook page. We're relaunching efforts today to boost its activity and I'll be speaking to Zorg about a budget so we can boost advertising for it. I have also given Steven and Will powers to post as the page and make minor changes to it.

A lot of advertising will be done through the page and we will soon be doing FB offers that will be unique.

That is it for today's news... ciao!
