Hello Once Again, Althanas!
As most of you probably know, the Serenti Invitational (http://www.althanas.com/world/forumdisplay.php?306-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 activity 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 two week time slot is filled, but please be sure to PM the judge of the tournament, Silence Sei (http://www.althanas.com/world/member.php?30-Silence-Sei), so your points aren't taken away due to a misunderstanding.
For those of you who are fans of our wiki, we are now promoting use of the census feature (http://www.althanas.com/wiki/index.php?title=Census). 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!
Jasmine has a new Vignette ready (http://www.althanas.com/world/forumdisplay.php?296-Vignettes). Vignettes are a fun way to score some easy experience and GP, so don't dilly-dally, and make sure you go out there and submit some interesting new perspectives on your characters!
That's it for for now, I'll be coming to you next week with more updates on the Serenti, as well as other things going on in the world of Althanas.
As Always, Amber Eyes
