Update 3.40
Greetings, OH Members:
What a packed, active, wonderful week we've had celebrating our Second Anniversary! Thank you all who hosted activities, and attended the activities and for those that completed the daily bonuses and special events that went on. It would be great to have something going on like this as far as activity every week, but perhaps we could at least shoot for one week a month full of activity. How does that sound?
We had a good number of attendees at our Anniversary Ball last night. Many were guests invited by our members, but those who are actually part of OH that attended were: Maria, Viola, Pherience, Andraste, Raelgil, Raufak, Janus, Viper, Arn, Aislan, Badger, Maereth, Ellis, Warren, Wesh, Vilkas, GarThog, John, Celeste, Wolfgang. Our guests were Ellian, Ivy and Lisbeth. We had a great time and everyone walked away with a prize!
I am still processing things from last week so if you haven't seen xp or gotten emailed with prizes yet, I will be working on that in the next few days. I have not processed any of the "Year 3 Here We Come" prizes, but will this week.
Oh some of you are so sneaky aren't ya, finding my little tidbits along the sidebar of the site. Good job! You never know what you will find hidden about on the site that might net you some goodies, and that's all I'll say about that. :)
Enjoy your week, come on you beautiful autumn weather!
CRAFTING POINTS
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your 10 crafting points from (psionicwanderer) . If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email. If you have Entrepreneur, it's time to send that in as well. This is also the start of a new month, so things like Pecunia need to be rolled!
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your weekly challenge this week is to proctor either a marksmanship match, a joust, a race of some sort (foot race, snail race, sailboat race, etc), or horseshoes! You can find all the info for these types of activities here. All activity logs of this sort go to (badgersrage) to be validated.
You will gain 1 reputation to any one of your characters. Please let me know which character you are giving the rep to when you send in your weekly challenge to me.
When you receive your validation from Badger for your match, then send me the VALIDATION (not your original log - I want forwarded Badger's validation). Send your entry in to (tesarikone) with the subject reading "Weekly Challenge".
GRAPHICS CONTEST!
Here are the graphics that were sent in for the contest. Please send me (tesarikone) an email entitled, "Graphics Vote" to let me know which one you like the best! Vote [HASH]1, [HASH]1, [HASH]3, [HASH]4, [HASH]5 or [HASH]6.

OBSIDIAN HEART ITEMS
I'm putting this in a second time, just in case anyone missed it in last week's update. If you are a member of Maria's adventuring company, then you each will receive the following in a velvet lined box:
Obsidian Heart Insignia (free slot item): You may send a short message (of no more than 25 words) at a time to any other wearer of the insignia,as long as they are on the same plane of existence that you are on. You may target one, numerous or everyone that bears the insignia, and the message is relayed telepathically. This also allows Maria,who owns the prime insignia, to locate anyone wearing the pin if they are on the same plane of existence that she is located on.
Ring of Obsidian Heart (free ring slot item): This ring carved of jet into a heart set in platinum is only given to members of the Obsidian Heart Adventuring Company. It is enchanted as a safeguard for the members, by pressing the stone down, they are instantly teleported to the nearest safe house owned by the Obsidian Heart. It also informs Maria instantly if it is used, to tell her where her members have been taken.
FALL NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
This is our incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 5,000gp to outfit their character, as well as one roll on the low-level magical loot list.
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 15XP & 5000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
Be sure to check our Calendar for listings of activities each week. IF YOU ADD A DATE, connect it to a 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.

UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
1. NEW LANGUAGES
I've added a few more languages. If you have Polyglot and would like to switch any out for free for the NEW ONES ONLY you may do so. Also, if you are an orc or half-orc you may take Orcish instead of Goblinoid as your racial language.
Orcish: The language of the orcs.
Eld Norsk Tunga: The ancient language of the northern regions of Rumeria. Alzorc and Skegg Islands.
Picto: Primitive pictograph writing.
2. SPELL LIST
For those of you who have Magical Affinity or Psionic Affinity, I've heard many times that some of you just don't want to make your own spells, or have trouble figuring out what spells you'd like to do. Some of you want to play mages but would rather the spells be listed out such as in d&d and you just choose them. Well, just for you we've started a spell list for you to choose spells from. Most of the spells are from my (tesarikone) character's spell lists that I don't mind sharing, but I also scoped out some d&d lists and some other game lists for some other options as well. I'll slowly be adding to this list but it's up, if you take spells from the list you still need to inform me that you've done so! Check it out!
3. RETRAINING COMING
I'm in development with an idea for retraining that will allow someone to change their class/profession in the event they build a character, like the character but do not like the direction they've chosen. So keep an eye out for that.
