NOTICEBOARD

Please read over the newest Announcement, which has been posted in the Forum Update thread! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Announcement, please PM either the mods (Gil or Arthur) or Kiku.

Our Activity Check #9 has ended. E-mails have been sent out to those who did not respond in time, and the member list has been updated. If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kiku via PM.

The dates for Activity Check #10 have been finalized and posted! The check will run from Sunday, November 4th through Sunday, November 10th. If you will be away during this time, make sure to post up a hiatus for yourself in the hiatus thread as the time draws closer. The requirements (not finalized, but close) are posted there, so get started early!

Kiku apologizes for the lack of updates. Kiku has been very busy with school too, but will continue to work on the site when she has free time.

AU UPDATES

Asylum
- The first draft of The Rules of the Realm has been posted. If you would like to suggest rules, changes, or to comment, please post here.

Of Magic and Owls
- All new class RPs that need to be created have been put on temporary hold. This is so that other AUs will be developed, as well as allow more people time to join the RPs.
- The Professor is working on a brief Character Profile for the existing (and future) Professors of the AU. (this is a WIP for now)

The Seven Seas
- The 'Uncharted Islands' are now a subboard in this AU. It may serve many purposes in your RPs to come. The detailed description will be coming soon!
- 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
- The Rules of the Realm will be posted up sometime this week, which will include all of the general RP rules, as well as better flesh out the rules about the powers.
- The mods/admin are hard at work compiling a list to help everyone keep track of the powers that are already taken, ones available that can be similar, etc. Any questions once this thread goes live should be forwarded to the mods or admins.
