Update 3.08
Greetings, OH Members:
I hope you all are doing better than I am, it seems sickness is rampant right now. I am hoping to feel better this week, and I can't wait to get things back in gear with all the ideas and things I'd like to do in our game.
That said, this is a very important paragraph! At least for now, until things get back in gear, I am instituting a "sign up" for quests and anything else we do officially like missions and storylines. In other words, when you see something on the calendar or listed in this update and you are planning on attending - send me an email. That way I will know people are going to show up instead of me sitting online at the appointed time, waiting to see if anyone contacts me or comes into the chat I'm in. That gets old! So please, when you get to the calendar of events, check your schedule and reply back to me on when you are going to attend, and what character. If you end up unable to attend, that's perfectly fine, try to let me know if you can. But just knowing there's interest will be helpful. THANK YOU!
NOTE: If you sent me items for the challenge last week (a couple of you did, thanks so much!) I am still processing them. You will receive credit for the challenge by the end of this week. I will still take ongoing submissions, and will pay you 250gp per item that is accepted until I close submissions.
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (psionicwanderer) 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. ALSO, this week marks the end of February so if you have monthly rolls you need to make, you can do them this weekend.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Our challenge for this week is to run a short mission with at least one other player's character. The mission should be at least 1 1/2 hours long, and can be about anything. How about checking out some of Becca's missions she's posted for ideas?
Your challenge this week is to run a mission for yourself and at least one other person's character.
You may run up to three missions on any character for credit! IN ADDITION to any XP, GP you receive for your mission from the Missions Mod, when you forward me the receipt the person who ran the mission will receive an additional 10XP, 2000gp. You should let me know where you want that XP/GP to go when you forward me the mission receipt.
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We are continuing our incentive for new players and characters. All new characters at this time will start with 40XP, 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!
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
While it is a change to be using the Calendar System on our boards, let's try to start using it. This includes me! I will be using our Calendar system more and more, it's right across the top, click it for info. IF YOU ADD A DATE, I've added a new board called "Event Calendar" and you can link all your posts there, so if you are hosting a mission or quest, or other activity please use the calendar to let us know what's going on.

What is the name of our Goddess of Vampirism, sometimes called the Blood Goddess? (so easy this week!)
