8-27 Newsletter

Okay, time for your weekly news update!

***

NOTICEBOARD

Updates may be slower this week, due to many of our residents (Kiku included) returning to school or work.

Don't forget to join Open RPs as well as continuing to be active in your private RPs! We encourage you to take part in both, in order to interact with everyone! If you are unsure or need RPs to join, check out the Open RP Recommendation section below!

September is almost upon us! Don't forget that in SEPTEMBER will be our next Activity Check. You can peek ahead to see the requirements as of right now, in case you'd like to see what will be asked of you. (Keep in mind, the requirements might be changed closer to time)

AU UPDATES
(Formally known as 'Forum Changes')

Le Carnaval
- Kiku will continue working with a few of you to flesh out the location of the club a little better, as well as what is on each floor. This might not happen all in one week, but it is in progress.
- Plotting for larger things (i.e. attempted robbery of the club, theme nights) should be posted up in the Plot Central board.

Of Magic and Owls

- The Classrooms Thread has been updated. It contains an up-to-date list of all of the classes being offered, as well as links to their locations and brief descriptions of them.
- Muggle Studies is now open for all to RP in.
- The next class slated to go live is Transfiguration. All are welcome to join, regardless of class and year.
- The Professor will be posting up a short description of the various Professors/Headamaster in the Character Profiles Section.
- Plans have been started in order to organize Frog Choir. The official start to this class is still TBA, but the plans are at this point in progress.

The Seven Seas
- A third location, titled 'Uncharted Islands' will appear as a subboard in this AU this week. It may serve many purposes in your RPs to come, so be sure to read the description and to make any necessary plots in the Plot Central board.
- Next to be finalized is the Jobs Aboard the Ships thread, which is still labeled WIP at this time.
- The Ships subboards (i.e. The HMS Black Rose) will be consolidated under a subboard, similar to the look of Hogwarts School. There will also be a thread created for the submission of a new ship. This will happen either this week or early next (depending on Kiku's schedule)

X-Verse
- Please continue to give your input (or give, if you have not already) on the following threads. These will help Kiku finalize the locations for the AU much sooner.
POLL: http://theworldscollide.friendhood.net/t723-poll-choose-your-side#5218
X-MEN: http://theworldscollide.friendhood.net/t724-x-men-assemble#5219
BROTHERHOOD: http://theworldscollide.friendhood.net/t725-for-the-brotherhood#5220
- The locations in this AU are slated to change and be fleshed out with more detail. The date for their finalization is TBA at the moment. Kiku apologizes for the inconvenience. If you have any urgent plot locations or questions, please PM Kiku.
