Update 2.48
Greetings, OH Members:
I am so impressed with your entries for the Creativity Event, you all are amazing writers! I am in the process of figuring out payments for you all, some have been paid, some have not but by mid-week everyone should have received payments. By the end of December, your info will be placed on the site! We have tons of new, interesting and creative entries so please be sure to glance over these when it all gets put up.
A new year is beginning soon, and I see great things for our second year in OH. I have nothing but positivity and hope for our game, and hope you all are looking forward to a good year of writing together. It is super difficult sometimes to not let what's going on in your real life to bleed into our online game, but we continue to strive to make this our safe, fun, getaway. This is a GAME. IRL always comes first, and you will never be punished for having to deal with IRL issues. So please, relax, kick back, try to enjoy what things each person offers to the group and let's write some amazing stories together this new year.
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (ashtonlocke) and let him know how you want your points divided between skills if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP". If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email. If you have weekly rolls that give you gold, make sure those are mailed in as well!
MODERATOR CHANGES
We've been blessed to have incredible Moderators from the beginning, and every game is going to see changes in leadership over time, this is what we are experiencing here at the end of 2013. So, for all the outgoing Moderators, I want to thank you for your service to the game and we wish you all the best! In particular, Jake has been an integral part of OH's development and has assisted me in so many things, so I want to thank him in particular for his help over and above the call of duty month after month.
IMPORTANT! Here are the new Moderators, or positions for Mods so you know where to mail things!
Missions Mod = tesarikone (Temporary - Position Open)
This means all missions, storylines, quests and the like come to me for now to issue xp, gp, reputation and loot if applicable. It is an open position, so if you're interested get in touch with tesarikone. I'm looking for someone who knows our rules well enough that they can read through missions and quests and know if mistakes are being made. As with all Mod positions, you work with the Storyline Leader for anything you have questions about such as approving loot, how much xp to give, and such.
Treasury Mod = ashtonlocke
After a brief hiatus due to personal issues, Andy is back with us at the job of Treasury Moderator. This means all crafting requests, and Emporium purchases, and anything else to do with gold such as rolls for Pecunia, Entrepeneur, etc go to him.
Activity Mod = badgersrage
Badger has stepped in near immediately to fill in the open job of Activity Mod, and for that I am so grateful! I know she will do a great job! So, from this time forward all badge requests, and activity logs (archery, spars, etc) go to Badger! She will also be keeping up with Ribbons and tallies.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Our challenge for this week is OOC. What you are asked to do is to talk to a player who is not a member of OH, and tell them about our game, and give them our web site, and answer any questions they have. Let them know that there are people that will help them learn the system and tell them about our quests each week. Send the log of the IM or Chat conversation in for credit!
No limit this week, talk to as many folks as you want. I'd like to see you spend at least 10 to 15 minutes in conversation with them. You could even open up an OOC Recruit if you wanted and talk to people there. When you send me in your conversations TELL ME WHICH CHARACTER you wish the xp/gp to go to.
Your challenge this week will earn you: 1XP & 500gp per person you talk with.
NEW CHARACTER BONUS
We have started a new incentive for new players and characters. All new characters at this time will start with 35XP, and 2000gp. This puts them at Topaz, allowing them to choose a profession as well as class. Be sure to let people know that there is an incentive going on right now when you talk to them!
