Hello once again, Althanas!
We’ve got some big news this week starting with the announcement of the vignettes. For those that don’t know, vignettes are monthly, one post short stories involving your character. The vignettes will now be hosted monthly by Jasmine, with the reward of a small amount of experience and GP. Vignettes are a great way to showcase your writing to the rest of the world of Althanas without writing a full quest so go ahead and give them a shot. (http://www.althanas.com/world/forumdisplay.php?296-Vignettes)
Wager Matches are fights between characters in which both writers put a set amount of their experience on the line for a chance at a big pay off. We are happy to announce that wager matches will soon be moved from it’s own featured section and straight into the citadel. Now, those who wish to add an extra incentive to their competitive writing can raise the stakes if they so wish. This is purely a voluntary thing, so for those of you who wish to continue to write battles without wagering your experience, please feel free to do so.
The Serenti Invitational has returned to Althanas! The Serenti is a one on one tournament in which the competitors fight it out to determine who is the best warrior on Althanas. As of this news article, registration is still open. The tournament will begin on August 20th once 32 or more members register to join. Some of Althanas biggest names have participated in this tournament on more than one occasion, and the winner gets a huge amount of experience for their efforts, so go on out there and try your hand against some of the greatest writers Althanas has to offer. Registration can be found here (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?23256-Serenti-Invitational-Registration ). If you haven't updated your profile since we made the switch to 3.0 you must do so before the deadline. Thanks in advance for working with the ROG staff to make this tournament fun and fair for everyone involved.
THe staff has been busy archiving unresolved threads. If there hasn't been a post in the last year your threads have been moved, please PM an admin if you would like to work on any of these threads.
