avalonooc | December Announcements & November Update Log

I can't believe it, my auto-complete subject lines finally let me click repeat subject lines because it's been over a year.

Announcements for December:

There is no AC in the month of December. Please still submit your November AC. If you have December threads, feel free to use them for rewards!
December weather in Avalon will be very snowy and cold. There may be a few days of slush. Overall, very wintery weather. The lake will be frozen thick enough to skate across. However, the Red Springs will be closed this month per request of the fairy queen to encourage people to head to Elphame. People are welcome to stay in Camelot if you want them to, but from an OOC standpoint the TDM and event this month will be in Elphame so feel free to use whatever reasoning you need to to shove your character over that way.
New arrivals will arrive in Elphame this month, so the TDM prompts will be different than normal! If you missed it, a totem was provided to all characters during the last event to transport them to the Land of Maidens. Setting info for that area will be provided on the TDM, which goes up on the 1st. Totems won't work until then because magic.

NEW Housekeeping Updates:

The new rewards items list is ready, and can be previewed here, but will not be available to claim until December. Do not forget to claim new items by the end of November on the Rewards page. The rewards link will remain the same, we will just update it during the first week of December.
Rewards can be claimed the same way as before, but we will be asking a few people interested to beta a new submission form that will check links against AC for us and save everyone time and effort. More details on that coming soon! We're hoping to implement fully by January if the beta test goes well.
Added the following irregular events to the calendar page (previously announced): Game-wide HMD, EMP/ATP, and AC-Free month.
In addition to the correction of the 5 unique quests stipulation under the Monthly Updates Summary below, we clarified and broke down how to gain titles in the FAQ.
Clarifications were made under the Activity section on the Rules page:
- "The activity submission page is a Google Spreadsheet and linked on the Activity Check page, which can also be accessed via the Navigation. The link is updated each month and previous spreadsheets are archived on the same page." and added the line: "If you have threads that meet the minimum requirements for AC beyond each month's requirement, you can use them to claim bonus activity rewards."

Monthly Updates Summary:

There was an opportunity drawing for our anniversary for paid accounts. The winners were: @prickly_bloom (6mo. premium), @angel_of_death (1mo. paid), and @eightfoldfiend (1mo. paid). The accounts were sent today.
We realized that during one of the previous updates moving around the rewards info, the stipulation that titles must be gained via 5 unique quests had accidentally gotten lost. It has been added back. We apologize for the confusion.

Upcoming Updates:

Locations page reorganization
Rewards page layout update (pending for December)
