− | Hello Again, Althanas

− | :Speaking of which, you may have notice a shift in the name of our little online community this past week. We are proud to announce that [http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?23294-Althanas-3.1 we have officially made the switch from Althanas 3.0 to Althanas 3.1!] Among some of the newest features to the site is the option for ‘Tanthanas’ and ‘Bluethanas’ templates. These are sure to be a hit with the older members of our community. We have also installed a forum for these weekly news articles, making it easier for you to access the going-ons with the site. Even at the time of this article, our staff is working hard to clean up the forums a bit and make the place a little better for all of us. | + | :As most of you probably know, [http://www.althanas.com/world/forumdisplay.php?306-Serenti-Invitational The Serenti Invitational] has begun and is currently in full swing. What you guys may not know is the new rule regarding the tournament this year For every 48 hours a player does not post, the scoring judge takes a point off from that player's wildcard score. So if your original wildcard was going to be a 5, but you did not post within 48 hours, the scoring judge will give it a 4. This rule was made to promote quicker activty in the forum, and prevent the use of making an incredible introductory post, only to stall until the last minute. Your points won't be counted off if you finish your match before the the two week time slot is finished, but please be sure to PM the judge of the tournament, [http://www.althanas.com/world/member.php?30-Silence-Sei"]Silence Sei], so your points aren't taken away due to a misunderstanding. |

This is a section of the wiki that allows you to write things about your character, and you as an author. Keep in mind, we don't just want an exact copy of the profile you submit in the Realm of Greeting, but some insight into your thoughts. What was your inspiration for creating this character? What was the basis for any story arcs your character involved themselves in? What is your favorite type of adventure? Think of it like a DVD, we don't just want the movie about your creation, we want behind the scenes and director commentaries too! |

− | :There is also a new type of battle league in the works. The Theatre of War and the Dajas Pagoda were both smashing successes back in their day, but now we wish to bring you a fresh new way to do your fighting. Currently, there is a poll running asking the community if they preferred the Dajas Pagoda (a ladder system that had big pay offs) or the Theatre of War (a league format in which the person who won the most battles was the overall winner). We are working diligently in order to give you the best version of a battle league possible, so please bear with the staff as they create something exceptional. Go [http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?23253-New-Battle-League here] to express your opinion on this news. | + | :[http://www.althanas.com/world/forumdisplay.php?296-Vignettes Jasmine has a new Vignette ready].
