Shadress has returned and she desires your destruction. At any point after you read this until Halloween is over, she may make an appearance in the Wasteland. There are a few things I can inform you of.

A system announcement will occur when she enters the Wasteland to alert everyone of her presence.

Shadress will tend to migrate towards neutral squares if any are present. This will allow more people to come to her to try and stop her rampage.

Shadress only cares about fighting the strongest of opponents. As such, she will only target those who are Avatars.

Shadress is a little weaker from her previous appearance, but will still be difficult to take down.

Those who take her down, i.e. land the final hit, will be rewarded with a couple goodies as well as the Shadress banner. Those who participate but don't take her down may receive an item or two as well.

If Shadress is on a square and is left alone for to long, she might start attacking of her own accord. Keep in mind though, she will only target those who are Avatars.

Good luck to all of you...

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
