Staff applications are now open, information about it is available in the Main forum as usual. I will be accepting applications until the 3rd of January. Remember to put your account name in the Subject of the email! Good luck to all who apply, I await your entries.

I will reply a few days after the deadline to tell you if you have made it to the next stage.

The next warfare map will be going live on the morning of January 2nd. One day late as is customary for people who go out and celebrate new years eve. This map will be the frozen snowy map, you can find pictures and information about it in our Wiki if you don't remember.

All four gangs will start in a line across the bottom of the map as they did last time. From left to right the randomly decided starting positions will be.

Position 1: Outcasts
Position 2: Dark Flame
Position 3: Chapter
Position 4: Blade of Dawn

I will not be saying whether the wasteland will start frozen or unfrozen, that will be decided randomly on the day.

First of all, Merry Christmas and a Happy new year from the staff team. Suggestions forum looks like its picking up, with some good suggestions which Scott will be giving to Zorg shortly. Hope you all enjoyed the advent calender this year, I hear i taste good.

Staff applications will open after the new year, which I will officially announce come the time, so for those who will be interested, get your thinking caps on. I will post more about this on the Main Forum or in another blog, until then stay safe and have a good holiday and new year!

I will leave you with a question:
If you strangle a smurf, what colour does it turn?

Just to update you on what's happening within the Development part of the game. Zorg's busy coding the new staff system and the shrubbed players list. I'm sure he will update you on that later. We have 2 Online Chat events coming up:

Newbie Hour - Saturday 9th January at 1pm EST
  This Event is limited to people ages 150 days old and lower. It's a main event for   the newbies to go to chat and have a big question time with Guides and interact   with Staff. At the end you can submit feedback to me so we can improve how our   newbie experience is for new accounts.

LegCon - Friday 15th January.
   This event is for ALL of the game, however due to the amount of people
   expected Online Chat will be set to Moderated. The whole event is so players and
   Staff can note the big problems with Legacy and in this quick session create fixes!
   Each gang will have to elect 4 reps to speak for the gang. Don't worry if you want
   to add something to the chat, just speak to your rep and he/she will have the
   chance to say it for you. A thread will be made in each gang's member forum
   later in January.

Don't worry if you forget, you will be reminded near to the date of the events
On another note I hope you all have fun over the holidays and please...
