First and foremost, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all!

Don't forget to get your goodies from the Advent Calendar on the Main Page underneath your gang news.

Onto something you will be more interested in though.

First, I think it has been long enough and we need to have another Werewolves game. This one will most likely be hosted in the in game forums. But at the same time, the offsite forums are an option. I'll be asking from time to time and during the signup thread which people would prefer.

Please note the signup thread is not open yet as the game will be after the holidays. So I'm waiting in the hopes that people will remember it at that time.

And secondly, like I mentioned at one point, we will be having a double gains weekend after the holidays. I am currently planning for the evening of the 4th of January until the morning of the 8th. Why the odd start time? Because I go to bed and wake up at horrible times. So I figure a few extra hours will be fine.

Why the large heads up? Because platinum buffs, book buffs, and boon shop boosts do not stack with double gains. So whatever you're using should wear off by then. So during this time, please refrain from using books with boosts and purchasing various boosts that are effected by double gains.

As a reminder, Double Gains include:
-Double energy per hour (400/hour)
-Double credit payout from jobs
-Double WFP gain
-Double item experience (from attacking, defending, warfare points, and even honing)

Stay safe and have fun!

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

It is nearly new year, for those celebrating tonight stay safe and have fun. Few things you should be made aware of for the new year,

1) Werewolves signup is now LIVE, the thread is >here<. No clue what I'm talking about click >here<. If you are entering please make sure you read the post as it contains off-site communication.

2) Christmas is being put back in storage when warfare is reset, could be before - could be after. Either way it is being removed around it - Make sure you collect what you can. Once it's gone, it's gone.

3) Player Profiles will have a minor edit made to them to include a staff box for public information. This will happen at the same time we bring the new staff structure in place for loans. the First Draft has been posted in Main, I know it has issues I have listed faults in that thread - you are free to post your opinion, however the start of January the thread will be locked and the Final version published. If you have a loan due and it fits the criteria currently set - feel free to create a ticket and post all the evidence/upload it to the ticket. We're now accepting these tickets.

WARFARE RESET DETAILS
Yes, it's that time again! Warfare will be going down around 11pm on the 3rd of January (2014). It could be before but I don't think we will be having a WTF Mode this time. It will go live on the midnight tick released by either Zorg or Myself.

HQ Starting Positions:
Chapter: 8,14
Dark Flame: 12,14
Blade of Dawn: 6,14
Outcasts: 10,14

Now what would warfare be, without a twist? Zorg has again given me permission to stir things up and it seems Blade of Dawn, this is your map. You have come first out of 4 on this map - for too long.

Objective Positions:
- Radar Jammer: 15,8
- Warfare Hospital: 2,8
- Neutral Square: 8,1 - First time on this map.

Make your preparations

It is almost Christmas From my last blog a few events have been decided! The Xmas version on werewolves is now in its sign-up phase: >>Werewolf sign-up thread<<. If you're unaware of werewolves and would like to partake, everything you need to know is located here: >>Werewolf 101<<.

Secret Santa will happen for the first time, There will be two sets: Level 1-50 (Group A), 51+ (Group B). There is no maximum to give or send someone, however the minimum is 50c for Group A and 100c for Group B The sign-up for this will be later in December.

The final event is still being discussed, however the plan (That might not happen) is that evil elves will run around, there will only be a certain amount to stop farming and they will drop certain items.

For all you scrooges that hate Christmas I will be putting a thread in the Main Forum to create a Legacy/HCS twist on the 12 days/pains of Christmas. Of course there will be prizes and banners available for this - Just don't take it too far!

I'm sure the annual Advent Calender will make a return - so keep your eyes peeled for some goodies!




Oh and I'm swamped by Uni work so those people waiting on mail replies/investigation results they may be delayed by a few days.
